Very pretty. If my hair looked like this I would definitely wear it out. Your hair is coming along nicely.

I've triend rhassoul (butters n bars), pink clay, red clay, white clay and kaolin.
I like them all better than bentonite. And I like the rhassoul better than all of them. The pink, red, white and kaolin are too fine and thin for my hair. I have to use too much clay per session and because they are so thin they are messy.
Bentonite is the cheapest and 1/2 cup provides more than any of the others. Bentonite dries my hair out. I have to add a lot of oil to offset the dryness.
Rhassoul is more expensive and 1/2 cup provides less than bentonite but more than the others. Rhassoul is gentler on my hair. I can use just rhassoul and water on my hair and my hair still feels conditioned.
For the pink, red, white and kaolin, I was never able to find a good ratio of water to clay to get a thick consistency. They were more moisturizing than bentonite. They were so light though they didn't weigh my hair down enough. And just messy
I don't want to see pink or red clay ever again even if its free

So I love it. I knew I would. My shrinkage is on fleek (my 11 yr old says I shouldn't say that hahaha) but i've always considered extreme shrinkage as a natural protective measure that my hair just does cause that's what it do! Other factors contributing to my shrinkage include the extreme weather (don't we all just wanna curl up into a nice warm ball??) and the fact that I haven't had a true clay wash/rinse in about 2 weeks!
I'm going to continue to use flaxseed gel for my MHM. My hair dried with soft touchable hold and less frizzy curls.

All loced up...
Believe it or not...one of my "pink" friends at work complimented my hair and before I could stop her she reached out and touched the back of my head...Do I have MHM to blame for someone wanting to touch my hair? LOL! The funniest part is that this person is the "I can't stand to have anyone in my personal space" person. What the heck makes people think this is OK?

with that one, but I suspect you are right about getting away with things lol.pelohello I am still longing for a day where my twists may even resemble yours in the slightest.
Thank you for the compliments ladies.

Your curls look cute. I don't see any frizz at all.

The canopy stays pretty sleek after it's been gelled...but the undergrowth is dryer and slower to respond to MHM. Time will tell what i'll end up with!
Flax gel observation...my hair is DRY and I don't mean in a bad way. here it is about 4 hrs after and I have absolutely no wet or damp spots!! I have a little bit of flaking but i'm the only one that can notice and I can't stop TOUCHING my hair it's so soft!

Hey you guys. I finally did the full regimen today. I'm in Maryland so it's been too cold inside the house and outside to wash. I tried a different twist out pattern. I'll take out the twist on Thursday. I need to read through the thread because I need a better leave in then kkkt. I'm currently in school and have an exam and a speech this week so I apologize for not staying to active.

I don't know? I'm feeling that I want to mix it up a bit. I have used the same products since the beginning. I'm ready to branch out. And thank you Faith. I hope it turns out well.

Your twists look good and I am still laughing at that picture of you that looked like the door went through your head because of the wig on the back of the door.

I have really found that diluting my products works really well for me. I dilute everything I use and it seems to make it work better. It seems to absorb into my hair and do what it is supposed to do.

I think your hair looks fabulous. I don't think you need to change a thing. I love the tapered look
