Sl 2016 Challenge
- Thread starter faithVA
- Start date
My schedule used to to be Sundays and Wednesday or Thursday. It's still kind of the same except sometimes I'll do a cowash on Saturday if my hair isn't behaving. Go for it if your schedule permits.

I clay washed my hair on Sunday night. Since then, I've had it styled half up in a banana clip. Last night, I wet the loose part and smoothed some more gel through...the way this cold snap has me, I feel I need to wet it more often. The dryness encouraged by the weather and all this wool lol.

For me rhassoul and sodium bentonite are both moisturizing and cleansing. Calcium bentonite is cleansing but not moisturizing for my hair.

For me, they are both moisturising and cleansing. I too find rhassoul clay more moisturising but too much sodium bentonite dries my hair out. I prefer a mix (usually calcium bentonite and rhassoul). I add silk amino acids to my clay. If I want it more moisturising, I will mix in some steeped marshmallow root.

Don't sweat it
. With good practises, you should see some retention. You'll creep there and notice the difference in good time (hopefully about 4 months or so).jennifer30

I don't know where my hairs at as I didn't end up straightening last year. I had the flat iron right there... looked at it...looked at my hair... looked at the iron again.. Couldn't face it
I want SL in a twistout. Will post a picture soon after wash day.
May try this washing with just water thing and see how it goes. Biggest problem is dryness atm, so need to trouble shoot my regimen.

Cowashed tonight with TVO and then used the Hibiscus Curl Milk as my leave-in. I put in 2 strand twist with the Twist Cream and sealed with the pumpkin butter. I decided to get back to using my wide tooth comb which shortened my wash day a great deal.
I'm supposed to wear a twist out tomorrow but it's also supposed to rain
I will wear it as long as it last and then put on my cap.

I think it looks OK. Are you putting your hair away anytime soon.

I sprayed my hair with braid spray, put cream moisturiser over that, then sealed with castor oil. Feels soft and fluffy. I think the castor oil is what I'm missing with the products I'm working with atm.
My favourite cream is actually the Dark and Lovely Anti Breakage Butter. When I use that there's no problems, but I've lost it

Looks nice. Good definition.

I thought about cowashing my hair tonight but just didn't feel like it. But since I wore a braidout yesterday and today I figured I should sleep with it loose another night. So I did a water rinse, oiled my scalp and my hair and put in some flat twist. Since I've done a twist out and a braid out this weekend, I figured I would see what a flat twist out looks like. Usually it's a fail. If I had more time off I would try a cornrow twist out which probably would come out better than a flat twist out.
I will cowash tomorrow and probably color the front of my hair. Will throw it back into flat twist since I don't feel like fooling with it any more.

I didn't end up doing anything to my hair until tonight. I've been home all day but still didn't start early. Procrastination is a beast.
I haven't been doing much to my hair. The past two washes I just water rinsed because I didn't feel like cowashing because it was so cold. But my gray was starting to show and I'm snowed in so I really have no excuse for not washing.
Started with Cleansing with AIA Cleansing Pudding
Olaplex 3 treatment for 15 minutes
TVO Quinoa Protein treatment for 40 minutes
Carmeltini treatment for 2 hours
Mudwash for 30 minutes
Apple Cowash
Ion Precolor treatment
Ion Color
Now sitting with color in under 5 conditioning caps for 45 minutes.
Will rinse with cool water. Then I will apply the ION After Color Treatment and KKNT and put in flat twist.
I'm thinking of putting in 2 strand twist but we will see how I feel tomorrow. I probably won't and will just put in flat twist and save 2 strands for another day.
I wish two strand twists would just install themselves. If I knew they would look good and if I could leave them in two weeks I wouldn't hesitate. But my twist get a mind of their own after 3 days and start sticking up in the air

My hair is the same. I used to try 2 strand twists when I first went natural but I have 2 problems. 1. My hair is so fine that I practically have to separate a twist into 5 sections for fullness leaving me with a mess. And 2. They never lay down for me. They always stick up or out and it's hilariously frustrating. Lol I figured when my hair got longer the twists would cooperate. I've given up on them for now.
Going to do a rollerset today and try not to touch my hair for the rest of the week.
I had such a great wash day yesterday! I tried the Shea Moisture jbco line and my hair feels lovely.
Shampoo- Shea Moisture JBCO shampoo
Deep Conditioner- Shea Moisture JBCO conditioner
Conditioner - Shea Moisture JBCO conditioner
Leave in - True Nourishing Leave-in
Oil- Jojoba
Butter- True Hydrating Butter
Last but not least, patience.
Usually I wash my hair in the hours before I go to bed. Once I get tired I usually rush through then end and sometimes skip steps which is not good because I get less careful. Yesterday I started at about 5 and I definitely noticed the difference.
Have a great week ladies!
