Finally washed after about 15 days. Now I don't want to rinse this DC out to twist. Why do I want longer hair again? It's going to take longer to do.

Cutting all my hair off makes the scalp issues I have blaring. My scalp and relaxers do not mix. As I was cutting my hair, it looked like I was shaking a snow globe!!! Now I have to deal with this crazy itching and rubbing off flakes. Goodness I hope this goes away soon
Thank you. I needed that cause I've had the sudden impulse to relax again
erplexed and I forgot how bad my dandruff was back then. If it wasn't for these DARN single strand knots, I'd never even THINK about a relaxer again.

Just use the honey and EVOO. Don't use the bananas! I've heard they're a nightmare to rinse out if you're manually blending them.

I think I want to try a beer rinse as a final straw for these limp kinks in the front of my hair. I feer the slight heat damage I have is certainly permanent and makes me not want to straighten my hair for a while unfortunately.
And I wanna straighten my hair soon ::Hmph::

I have a super nice blender and a strainer so I could but...I read a few places where banana is considered protein to some people. I may just try those!. Thank you.

My current tea moisture mix has me unable to stop touching my cornrows under this weave! But I guess thats good because I can feel the newgrowth now. It just popped up out of nowhere! I wonder if that means my ng comes in around the mid-end of the month every month.

My hair has not a one staple and I'm happy with that because the way these vendors change ingredients/products is like changing clothes. I refuse to get hooked on something and it's gone. I will drop you in a minute
Afroveda, gone!
Mozeke, gone!
Donna Marie, gone!
Uncle Funkys Daughter, gone!
Beija Flor Naturals, gone!
I get down with Hesh ayurvedic herbs , rhassoul, bentonite and henna. Those are my boo thangs.

The Curly Magic was the only product of theirs I used. Is HG status. But when they announced on FACEBOOK the other day the formula had changed, my heart sank. Glad I still have several jars of the old formula.
Afroveda was once a favored vendor; they're gone!
I'm loyal to no one and my hair doesn't have one staple either.
Ayurvedic, henna, rhassoul and bentonite clays are my bady daddy.....LOL!

This is what they wrote on FACEBOOK
I hate when a vendor changes formulas.
I bet it will not work the same on my 4C hair as the old formula now works! Arrrggghhh!!!

Oh nooo!!!
I'm in Florida. With glycerin being the 2nd ingredients is a no go for my hair with the high humidity climate here. And protein??!!! No, no, no!!
Using the LCO method with this gel produced the perfect, perfect braid-out or twist-outs for my 4C hair....
But I have other styling products that are good -- Curl Prep is a fave!!!

Five weeks post and my new growth has reminded me why I reeeeeally hate being relaxed. It only feels nice for 2-4 weeks and then it's like you never got a touch up in the first place. I haven't been to the salon since my touch up either and I don't miss it haha.
I've thought about locs for a long time now because it's a natural way to show length without having to deal with shrinkage, and I really would like to freeform my locs because I don't care for super neat looking locs anyway. Sadly, I don't think anyone in this forum has freeform locs or at least, no one has every posted pictures of this when showing length checks or progress photos.
I saw a girl at the gym with free form locs that were classic length and it was the most gorgeous thing ever. And she dyed it red and it OMG. I was swooning. That's what I want. Where I don't have to go to the salon, and it's not a big deal. I don't want my hair to be a big deal and right now it feels like that.
If I did free form, where would I start? Would it just be me not combing or brushing my hair for a few months?

Since I henna my hair I can't wear any of my half wigs anymore <ugly cry>
Gonna start a new job tues so I need an easy style to look cute with minimal effort and be able to work out with. Debating with getting a couple full wigs or installing braids..
Ugh I love the effects of henna but its messing up my hair life!

Alright! So I bought some stuff to make my own deep conditioner. I am modifying naptural85's recipe. So I have
1 Banana
1 Cup AVJ
1/4 Olive Oil
1 teaspoon sweet almond oil
6 drops grapefruit seed oil
6 drops jojoba oil
All of these I THINK will be okay. I am super protein sensitive so I didn't want to add coconut/other protein since I know that can put me over the edge, next time I do a DC I may add another protein into it but right now I am just going to leave it with one banana. I have used jojoba and olive oil before with no issues...and grapefruit seed oil is in my current store bought conditioner...I have not used sweet almond before but I heard good things about it? So gonna try it (thankfully I only bought a small bottle).
Wish me luck!.

it's been my go to clarifying and chelating shampoo for years, I've never tried the conditioner because I assume it would be inferior, but I just might try it out.

i don't see how people can wrap their hair everyday, too much manipulation and im careful as can be but you need comb or brush to wrap. that's why i barely wear it straight

Visit nappturality.com, their loc forum is the best I have seen thus far. My best friend has braidlocs she cares for and maintains herself and they are gorgeous. She got her initial loc advice from that forum.
I can't go the loc route myself because of my skin condition and therefore my scalp concerns but I respect anyone who does. Locs are absolutely gorgeous. Get 'em girl!

Thank the hair gods for Shea Moisture Deep Cleansing shampoo!!!!!! My scalp had been killing me since my final relaxer touch up!!! I used the shampoo yesterday, and my itches are gone!! Usually I have to wet my scalp daily and spray it with AVJ to soothe it . I didn't have to today and I'm actually okay!! I'm really relieved so far . I hope it keeps up!

Summer where are you?
When men try to give me hair tips :hardslap: I just want to punch-kick them in the chest. My hair would not look better up, my forehead is huge. I know my angles. I've had hair since I was 4.
Why isn't there just a camera in the mirror?Similar threads
