I always use protein before the blowout, but I havent used anything after except keracare humecto. I basically used it as a leave in on my braids. Maybe I should cowash and see what hapoens. But not tonight its gonna freeze. I dont wanna get sick

My first successful ponytail/puff. This is from a 2-day twist out. Please disregard the 3" of roots in the front
Sweet color.

Getting my relaxer after 14 weeks today!!! Sitting under the dryer as I type. It was a long stretch for me, I've always relaxed at 10-12 weeks. This year I will be committed to 14-15 weeks. I'll post an after pic but get into those edges.

Yep we not either here in San Antonio lol. Girl these people can't even drive right in normal weather so shoot dont let it rain, storm, or freeze...plus it was ice on the roads early this morning...you think I went out there, I think not! So today I coach and dcd and put my hair back in 3 strand twists. I did go to Target 30 minutes ago (felt safe) and was looking for a Remington curling wand but I didn't see it...boo....

I really can't deal with this cold anymore. I promise to not complain when it hits triple digits this summer lol. I've increased my cowashing and DC'ing and I'm still experiencing some dryness, even though I m&s twice a day
I feel you. Im ready for the Houston heat! It gets so hot I can dc while im driving the kids to school.

Sitting under my soft bonnet dryer with ORS Replenish (the one with the banana on the front) on my dry hair. Gonna shampoo with Kiehls Olive shampoo, then DC for 5 - 10 mins with AOHSR. Then rollerset and flat iron. Pretty much my staple Saturday routine lol.

Finally got a min to post a good starting pic. I cut my hair, clearly not for evenness lol, a few weeks ago and I instantly regretted it so this yr I'm just focusing on length. Once I get to my BSL goal I'll even it back up but it doesn't bother me that much since I always wear it up

I am so disappointed in myself. I've been deep conditioning, moisturizing, and sealing religiously, but it wasn't until today that I realized why my hair has been acting crazy. The shampoo I've been using to wash my hair almost twice a week is a clarifying shampoo...and I always shampoo twice! That explains sooooo much. Ive been using this for a few months and had no idea why my hair was misbehaving. Hopefully after I put this aside my hair will stop shedding and breaking so much. Anyone have any good shampoo recs????

I haven't update in a while. Did a quick wash day on sunday.
Shampoo'ed-2X with Mizani Milk Bath (Best sulfate shampoo I've ever had)
Protein-Joico K-Pak DPR for 5-7 while I handle my other shower biz-ness
D'C-Joico Intense Hydrator under steamer for 25 minutes
Air-dried my hair and that's it. Really elaborate I know but my wrestling PPV was coming on and my hair was not getting in the way. But all talk aside my hair is lion mane fluffy and soft so its a win. I'm bunning for the weak and then on saturday I'm going to the salon for a flat iron/length check, which I will post. I'm 8 weeks post right now with no plans of relaxing. The primary reason for the hated salon visits is a trim. I plan on get my hair put some braid style and I can't do that in good conscious without having my end on point! Or my $200+ is waisted.

Glad you caught this before further damage. I love the following shampoos. They all leave my hair soft, easy to separate, ready for DCng.
Joico moisture recovery- has sodium laureth sulfate as second ingredient
Silk dreams go moist- sodium myreth sulfate (allegedly milder than the SLS).
Elucence moisture benefit- The sodium myreth sulfate is far down the list
They are all ph balanced which is important for my hipo natural hair.

I sure will
With it being so cold and me being too lazy to do anything but buns, I started moisturizing my hair at night and covering it with a plastic cap then my satin cap. I wake up with soft hair, I finger detangle and bun. I will try to do this all winter. I may have to skip a day or two if it seems like I am over moisturizing. But so far so good.

Been wearing my hair straight this week and part of last week. I love how that new SM masque and weekly therapy (along with my last two henna gloss treatments) has conditioned, smoothed and repaired my hair. Havent seen any new split ends since my last Split Ender session.
Tonight I am doing a scalp massage with JBCO, coconut oil, hemp oil and lemongrass EO. I used to do this 3x a week but have recently fallen off. I love how the JBCO has thickened up my edges but I need to step up the consistency.
I LOVE this HHJ!!
