How in the world do they even know about that? LOL. I swear they and other nonblacks stay cyber-eavesdropping on us.

Wow! That's crazy!

Glad you have a technique to address the hair. How's it faring?

I blow dried it but the ends are still a little ehhh... which is where the teeth and steam come in. In a bun now, will style and cut later tonight when I finish (hopefully

).

@PJaye the macadamia professionals masque I bought was heavenly! I couldn't DC last weekend but my hair needed a deep treatment desperately. Last night I applied it in the shower and left it on for about 10 mins :drool:

the slip was great, it has a nice but not overpowering scent, consistency was nice and thick, I could go on :lol:

thank you so much for your review and letting me know it was on sale! Im so glad I purchased some.

Sorry for any typos, I'm on my phone

ETA: and this was just from leaving it on for 10 mins while showering! I normally DC for at least 30mins if not an hour with a plastic cap.

I found an old bottle of Nexxus Emergencee original formula. I'm going to use it. I so miss that formula so much

You are quite welcome. I'm glad I was able to help and that you experienced a great outcome with the product.

Sounds like a dream...

It really is! I feel the most sexy with my short natural tapered cut and my Mohawk. I’m just not in the mood for that right now.

Do you guys modify your regimens slightly now that the colder weather is coming? I think the only thing I'll do is incorporate some hot oil treatments.

Hot oil treatments are a hair saver during the winter months! I do bi-weekly HO treatments and a weekly prewash conditioning treatment to keep my strands moisturized and strong.

tapioca_pudding · Oct 17, 2017

Some days I want to start my hair journey all over. Not BC or anything, but just take the time to learn my hair again and what it needs, what it might like, new techniques etc. I feel like my hair has changed over the past year in some ways.

However, this requires time, effort and PJism which I'm not really in the mood for :lol:

So Imma stick with these flat twists and gon' head on.....

I believe you! I'd love to see pics! I've been scouring the net for tapered pics of big chops. Idk if I'm being unrealistic bc for it to be low low maintenance I'm thinking i'd have to be close to bald? Other than that the really short tapered cuts require nightly twisting or coils or something. Then I think back to that thread about the grow out process. I'd use braids to help with that.

Thanks for the reminder,I should do a HOT, its been a while and I should be doing them regularly now that its cooler :yep:

I bought a jar of Qhemet AOHC to use on my ends. My hair is very picky with oils and butters, so I figured this was heavy and oil-rich enough to be used as a sealant for my ends (first two ingredients are castor and olive oil).

Trying to pay closer attention to my ends these days; I randomly noticed recently that I apply my products starting at the roots and then the ends get whatever is left (turrible). So I'm doing the reverse now - starting at my ends.

Goodbye humidity, my old friend. Sure gonna miss ya. :bye:

Girl. My hair already tryna ack foolish. I noticed how much more mango butter I used this week. I’m ramping up my DC and leave-ins starting this weekend.

I think replacing o/n oiling with HOTs with heavier oils will help too.

I’m not afraid of you Winter. I’m armed and ready :brucelee:

GGsKin · Oct 19, 2017

Summer, I miss you already.
I'm gonna have to start styling my hair again, and putting it up. These autumnal/ winter fabrics are conducive for tangled ends and deep trims. Already refreshed twice this week thanks to these colder climes.

LOL! I guess I better test this shea oil I got. If I can get through this winter without getting lazy, I will make it to waist length sometime next year.

@AbsyBlvd

And once the temps stay consistently near freezing ( 'round here propably in about 2-3 weeks time

) I will be covering it up. Im hoping GE will have a good slap sale. I'm more inclined to get one now that the intl shipping is more reasonable.

@Sharpened Im not playing around this year :lol:

Stay ahead of the curve girl, I hope you get WL come spring :yep:

Has anyone noticed that the hair on the side that you sleep on is drier than the side that you don't? I noticed this once I went natural. I am sleeping with silk scarves but I still notice a slight difference in curl definition and shine between my left and right side of my hair. We're halfway through the day and my left side is still shiny and defined from the products I used this morning while my right side still looks good but not quite as defined and glossy. Maybe the problem will go away once my hair grows out some. Right now, my hair is growing out a twa.

Yes, I noticed that about my right side while blow drying and flat ironing my hair. My left side was easy to do and came out on the luscious side. The right side, not so much. So I shaved off the entire side. I aint trippin with this hair! lol

One of my FB friends is a hair stylist and she posts her work on her page. She often posts pics of her clients’ DIY attempts as a warning of what not to do. Today’s warning was a 360 of her client’s failed attempt at cutting her hair in its curly state.

She talks about her clients too much for me and I often wonder if they know she’s going to post what she posts. I get she’s trying to help but, her way of helping is abrasive.

This is why I won’t go to the salon, and I’m an advocate for the salon.

:love2:

Thanks for the B and BWs shout out...
I bought 6 candles with teakwood and basalm. I also was able to use the 25% off code :yay:

. I really enjoy burning candles or my wax burner after work...
Which reduces my stress and decreases my hair shedding :peace:

I understand that it's the new thing to make products color and fragrance-free, but I haaaaaate unscented conditioners. I think they smell like old play dough. Ugh.

Uh... What is going on with Ecoco?

They are doing too much. How about come up with a gel that would make folks hair dry and brittle?

They got a leave-in, a DC, creamy stylers, and edge control, too.

Can't please y'all at all :lol:

Clearly they know their consumer demographic. Look they even put Rx, so it legit. :giggle:

I saw that line today and a bunch of other stuff. Yet they can’t get that gel right..

Is the JBCO gel really that awful? Lol they should have created a line out of the olive oil gel.
