The wig felt comfortable on my head today. I'm not as self-conscious about wearing it.

I'm right there with you. Postpartum shedding is kicking my butt.

That looks really good.
Good luck finding that gel. I can't find it OTG to save my life. I was searching prior to the NB with no luck.

I really need to stop letting my protein treatment sit overnight. It was a light protein ( I think) but my hair still felt coarser than usual after leaving it in so long. On a positive note, I didn't have too much breakage when manipulating my hair afterward.

Thanks for the affirmation!
To save your life? Oh, no! I can't order from SM online. Just don't wanna.
I've taken pictures of the hair products shelves at most stores near me (Target, Ulta, CVS, WalMart, etc.)
Let me check my camera roll.

@Saludable84,
Oh, wow! Just WOW! That SM rose gel is not in ANY of the pics of hair product aisles on my phone. Not. One. That is good to know!

For some odd reason the only place I see this gel is in the aisle with the SM body products, right next to the rose face stuff.

I feel like I haven't washed my hair in forever. I definitely miss my daily cowashing. Going back to washing once a week is a struggle.

Told you!
Tar.get will ship 1-day but I can imagine the fee. Ship to store is 7 days. Nearest store that has it is over 100 miles away.
Ulta I can order, but they are having BOGO 50%, ad I don't want anything else really. Then, they charge you shipping and tax and I feel like there was another fee on there. By the time I finish, it's like I could have went to the store and bought 4 products on sale. And I'm not spending $50 for free shipping if I don't have to.
There is a store in Harlem I could scope out, they have special relationships with that family. They still carry their white bottle line.

That's when I first noticed but since SM stylers are usually miss for me, I walked on by it. Then a friend told me it was good and they all seemed to disappear.

Heading into the Target in the hood since it's on the way back from my first grader's school. Shea Moisture, if that rose line gel isn't here, then I know something!

NYE side boob.
my hair is growing madddd fast. i looked on my calendar and i realize that it's only been two months since i shaved it all off. I already have a legit TWA that just seems to get thicker on a daily basis.
i might get some braids or cornrows at month 3, i think. it could probably be braided right now, i've seen African braiding shops braid some shooooort hair. practically braiding scalp.

my henna should finally be here by this weekend and it is going immediately in my head. Also I've noticed that my hair seems to be doing well with frequent medium protein treatments rather than occasional hard proteins. Let's hope this means growth. Finally stopped trimming my hair unnecessarily too.

Try garlic supps...they've worked perfectly for my shedding and breakage

I haven't straightened my hair in about 3 months. I'm under my dryer right now drying my rollerset hair. Its going to be 90 tomorrow. I'm going to open the door and my hair is going to revert into an afro. Its too late, the damage is done. By the time my hair dries it'll be 12:30am. I am a fool.

How does it compare to Oyin Hair Dew?

This vendor is LOVELY and her products are great. She's already responded quickly.
I ordered a 2 oz sample of some Indian Clay and an 8 oz amount of coconut deep conditioner. What's pictured is what I received. The Indian Clay is labeled as 8 oz. The coconut deep conditioner is labeled as 4 oz. They are the same size. I think both are 2 oz.
I positioned 8 oz and 8.5 oz bottles and jars nearby for comparison. I was REALLY tripping for a second because both little jars had different amounts on the label but look like the same jar to me.

Oyin Hair Dew I believe is a leave-in that I also used as a moisturizer, Greaseless Moisture is strictly a moisturizer. I like Greaseless Moisture a lot more than I liked Oyin Hair Dew because it has way more water/moisture content in it to me. So the moisturizing ability was stellar in my opinion, especially combined with the HQS Coconut Lime Oil as it's sealant - they are perfect together.

As much as I want to move back to 1x weekly washing, I don't think that will be an option anytime soon.

I think I have moisture over-load, I think the honey in tgin's honey mask and the high humidity here are the cause. Since I have no-lye relaxed low porosity hair that hates protein should I do a light protein treatment or just give up the honey hair mask for a while? I'm already planning not to dc in Sept but idk if that will correct the issue.

Okay. So, NaturelleGrow's owner Renee is AH-MAZING!
I ordered and paid for an 8 ounce coconut deep conditioner in my order. I received a 2 ounce sample. I sent a short, friendly email about it with a photo. She QUICKLY emailed me back, shipped out an 8 ounce jar, REFUNDED MY COST FOR THE 8 OUNCE JAR, and apologized in the most serious way.
I was like: "I don't mind paying for product that comes into my possession! Please let me support you and pay for the 2 and 8 ounces." I don't know what she'll say, but THIS VENDOR!!! She is ON POINT, ON POINT!
UPDATE: She won't take my payment. She said, "Customer service is everything."
