How moisturizing and detangling is it? These are the same people that manufacture Kenra right?

@Destiny9109
Not sure about that, but the Conditioner makes a Great R/O and a really great Cowash.

When I was Relaxed I also use he Acidifying Shampoo (Grapefruit) when was a Neutralizer, Clarifier & Chelator and worked extremely well.

ETA: I HATE that I missed NC's 35% Flash Sale, which was 35% & Free Shipping on all: Elucence, Curl Junkie and Camille Rose Products.

@Sharpened

I never understood how y’all never had one. LoPo is not the majority on this board. Even when it comes to HiPo, I don’t think everyone who recognizes as it really is, as HiPo Hair could just mean using the wrong products.

We can all benefit from all types of regimens.

A work friend complained her scalp is always itching. I told her it’s because she leaves dc in her hair and leave in. Since I know that will never end, told her to pick up some Cantu root rinse at target. Her smile was brighter than that eclipse.

Length milestone: when wet hair slaps a new section of your back.

I want to hit the top of my bra strap at year's end.

My hair held up really well from the PuffCuff pony. 1 hr 45 min detangling time again and no major tangles or damage. I think I'm going to bun MWF and do a pony TTh. My protective styling ways won't let me go so easy.

Ive had the same satin scarf since 2007. Its held up really well considering Ive washed it weekly for a decade :yep:

But I tore a small hole in it :ohwell:

So now I think I will upgrade to silk

So now I need to know if KindredButters is having a BF sale in addition to this autumn sale. This will determine if my cart goes from 3 items to 13 :drunk:

Lemme go convo her...for a friend. :look:

I Am So Blessed · Oct 1, 2017

So I did a small trim tonight..just because.

It took a very long time to go through every section thoroughly.. I was just like "come on!!!" Taking too long lol. I have a ton of hair.

These little tiny coils are a trip! Especially when they are long they trip even more.
They're not trying to stretch out as they grow, they actually get tighter! For crying out loud! My Arms all tired.

I Am So Blessed · Oct 1, 2017

I had to go out and buy some scissors again to do this trim. Now that I'm done I will use them as kitchen scissors because I'm done with them...I'M DONE.

I will not have to do this again until another 8-12 months from now. I'm so glad.

I Am So Blessed · Oct 1, 2017

When the going gets tough the tough gets going.

Where are my hats.....

halee_J · Oct 2, 2017

I want some things...not sure if I can hold out till BF...

Do you have a pair of good cutting shears? I highly recommend them. Using good tools like shears and seamless combs has helped my ends tremendously :yep:

KinksAndInk · Oct 2, 2017

My BF list is changing...again. I need to go through my stash and see what I actually "need". I really love APB's hair and body butta but I also have like 5 jars of CRN almond jai to use up. I could technically hold off until next BF for APB. I need to write this list out...

Saludable84 · Oct 2, 2017

All this BF talk. How about, I haven’t been really buying and gave away stuff but my stash still didnt shrink

keranikki · Oct 2, 2017

The detangling session after a wash n go is horrid. :angeldevil:

I wasn't prepared. I was aware, but not prepared. Luckily, my pre-poo had a lot of slip. I spent my whole wash day detangling throughout each stage. I thought I was doing a good thing by not manipulating my hair. :bangdesk:

I don't know if they were good. I went to the BSS and bought some regular-ole hair scissors for $7.00.

Back in the day I had a very expensive pair that I use to get sharpened every two months just for my hair. I was serious about my shears! Not so much any more.

Oh wow you even went to get them re-sharpened too? Did you notice any difference or the cheaper scissors work the same?

ItsMeLilLucky · Oct 2, 2017

Lord help me, they done put a full service Ulta Beauty by my house.

I just came in here to look and ended up getting my hair washed. :thud:

The end result. I had 2 pictures, but only 1 can be uploaded.

Off topic, but I just tried Mod Pizza. So delicious :lick:

They're like the Subway of pizza, but so much better.

SM Argan Oil & Almond Milk Smoothing conditioner is awful.
I bought it to replace my HG discontinued NH Honey & Black Seed Oil Heat Protect line.

That mess was sent by the Enemy to kill my follicles, steal my length & destroy my strands. I cant remember which store (Target or Wal-Mart) I bought them from. I'm getting store credit from someone for this disaster.

No I do not notice a difference. My ends stay intact whether with really sharp scissors or with really cheap (new) scissors.

yes lol. I use to go to some shop and get them sharpened on schedule. That was when I trimmed my hair faithfully every two months like a dummy. I know that the man sharpening the scissors thought I was crazy. It was the same man sharpening them every time LOL. I was really OCD about my hair. Not so much anymore. I have way longer hair now that I don't do so much.

ETA: now you have me at work laughing lol. I literally thought that after using the scissors once would make them dull again and that they absolutely needed "re-sharpening" lol.

OMG that was so ridiculous!

Thanks my love,
I got the front part of the right side cut to match the back. I don't know what I was thinking about trying to hold on to it. There was barely anything to hold on to :laugh:

Glad you're past it now and clearly what you're doing is working :yep:

LOL!!!!!!!!!

I laughed at SEVERAL points in your post.

The way you wove in that scripture about how the enemy cometh to kill, steal, and destroy. :lol:

HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!

Awwww! Thanks for the review, though. I've eyed them SEVERAL times, wondering if we were missing out on the ONE or TWO secretly wonderful SM products or something.

I have no idea what to do next with my hair. I am trying to recover it and return it back to it's super healthy-feeling state.

Overnight I prepooed with Chicoro's DIY prepooo.
This morning I clarified with the Kinky Curly shampoo.
I applied Colorful Neutral Protein Filler beneath Soultanicals Afrotastic Elastic DC.

Now I'm just sitting here, staring at the ingredients list in the Aphogee Keratin & Green Tea Restructurizer (leave-in spray), leaning no way in particular about what to apply or do to my hair for hydration, moisture, and styling.

Let me try to think . . .

halee_J · Oct 2, 2017

Um...so I just used my vibrating scalp massager. Whoa, it's great! I was really playin' games with that little ting-ting :nono:
