Crying tears of joy because the Indian store I go to had 500g bags of nupur 9 blend henna for $5! So I got 2 bags of that, 450g of karishma henna for $7 and 300g of indigo for $7 ...and yesterday I got 5 bottles of tresemme naturals the original formula because I recently found it to be my HG detangling condish...I wonder how it'll do with henna *runs to make a batch for tonight*.. here's what the haul looks like

ManiiSweetheart, I have Nupur price envy. That is an excellent deal! Ten bucks for two 500g bags of Nupur. Great Job!

I found it at Walmart and Target... i was planning on taking all of them from the walmart i go to but when i went they conveniently took all the tresemme naturals of the shelf to "clean" so i went to the target and they had it. My original formula has a black top looks like this
Some do have the green opening or the pump top

It says "New". I think that's the new formula? Do you like it in comparison to the old one. I'm going to target tomorrow.

Yea my bottles don't say new so the picture is probably from when it was new but it looks just like that.. i think the new formula bottles don't say that it has aloe vera and avocado. i guess you really have to look at the ingredients and make sure you're getting the correct one. this thread has the comparisons if you need it

I think I'm gonna do my relaxer TU at the end of the no heat challenge next month. It'll put me at 18 weeks post :)

divachyk, probably more MBL. I don't know, I don't really care about any of the other milestones except WL. From BSL to WL seems to be a delirious waiting game:ohwell:

In the good news files...I'm in love with my new steamer:grin:

I think I'll actually do my hair today...hopefully...maybe later?

I used to make time to play in my hair, now it seems like I barely have time to do regular maintenance stuff let alone try new styles.

Laziness got me. I was going to take out the crochet twists but decided against. I went to the beach yesterday and washed and conditioned my hair afterwards, but I'm worried that when I take these things out Friday I still may find sand and salt in my hair. Even if it is, hopefully it won't cause any issues.

I don't know why my crown is so itchy:nono: I wonder if being 16 weeks post has anything to do with it...maybe I need to oil that area more or something.

i can't wait for my relaxer touch up tomorrow. What should I tell my stylist so that I don't get bone straight results but still really straight?

Just tell her that you don't want it slick straight, and you want a little texture left. I tell mine that I want to be 85-90% relaxed, but if my hair is slick straight when it's wet that's a problem.

Taliah Waajid The Great Detangler is the TRUTH! My oldest daughter had some serious locks in her hair from swimming and playing with her hair in a loose ponytail, turned bun, turned just stick random pieces of hair anywhere. The entire back half of her head was about 5 huge dread locks of hair. I tried some of the detangler that I had picked up a while back and just let it sit on her hair for five minutes. In that short time it went from a locked mess to me being able to grab a few strands and pull them out of the top of the tangle. I managed to section and detangle her wl hair in 40-45 minutes and only came away with less than an ice cubes size worth of she'd or broken strands.

Definitely a keeper.

My hair has thrown me for a loop! Things that used to cause more harm than good are now things my hair and scalp love!! Shea buter, cowashing, no gel and heavy butters/oils make my hair so happy. Whatev...she asks, I listen; we're both happy. LOL

They usually act crazy like they dont understand what you mean about texture so what I used to do is lie; after 8 mins I say its burning & start screaming. Oh yea....they'll wash it out then. ;)
