Lesson learned today:
1.) When using fenugreek in any concoction, please strain. Do not think your Ninja is going to break it down so that it is easy to wash out.
2.) Wash out fenugreek with good ole shampoo before anything else or you will be still brushing out the gook when you are ready to style.
I'm tired boss!

Good to know. Thanks for sharing.

My mom just shaded my beloved Xtreme wetline gel (after she asked ME what I use for my wash and go)... hmph!

Slapped some Sabino Moisture Block on my ponytail on a whim before bunning. Gonna try wearing it in a pony rather than a bun tomorrow. First day at a new hospital tomorrow and I'm jonesing for that perfect first impression. :gorgeous:

I think I love these spiral ponytail holders. My bun feels very secure but not tight.

I’m over the long wash days. I'm no longer dealing with a wash day that lasts for hours and hours; for me, it’s unnecessary. I can get it all done, (bar the drying) within one hour and that suits me just fine.

This is my goal.

I love my hair :2inlove:

It took a while to get to this point, but man...it was worth it. I realized this as I wrapped it up tonight. No breakage, no tangles...

My hair is finally letting me be great :thewave:

I overdid the Rosemary essential oil on my scalp and I can’t breathe at work. *face palm*
Is this ish going to wear off...or just reek all day? :cry3:

I's still sooooo bummed. I've been growing my hair out by protective styling the past year and a half trying to get over this waist length hump, I went to my hair dresser before I got my braids in for a trim and she said she only was cutting 1/2 inch but someohow I lost 3 inches and I'm back to BSL. Now she didnt straighten my hair but trimmed while it was blow dried. I think she saw the curly ends and thought it was 1/2 inch not realizing for my 4b/c hair that its about 2-3 inches stretched. I've been wearing a wig since I took the braids out but I cant stand to wear my real hair out because I'm so sad.

I wound up throwing my hair right back in a bun at 11. The hair on my shoulders felt really foreign and it kept touching things.

ETA: Right after I put it back in a bun I got a compliment lol

I'm going to try shampooing once a week instead of once a month.

If anyone has opinions on this lmk.

I'm tickled by this. When I was relaxed, I would keep my hair short, for I didn't like hair on my neck. Now I feel naked without it.

Do you wet your hair before a prepoo or do you add the prepoo on dry hair?

I had that question over the weekend but went ahead and sprayed my hair with my spray bottle....

I add mine on dry hair then baggy.

I prefer once a week. I did once a month for years until recently. My hair has really enjoyed it.

I put it on dry hair right after detangling.

I realized that my hair type didn't require conditioner on my head for hours. I wash n go in the mornings before work. The end.

I'm in! Especially since my strands are fine. I think it would be good.

Thank you, ladies! I will try dry hair next time!

I hadn't detangled my hair when I did it (rushing, lol), so I will detangle next time too!

I’m not fond of air drying. Does anyone just sit under the dryer to dry their hair anymore?

I sit under the dryer when I'm roller setting. That is all I use the dryer for.

I normally do it for roller setting, or deep conditioning, but I would like to use it even when my hair isn’t set. Even if it’s on a cool setting.

KinksAndInk · Oct 23, 2017

Guess I’ll wash my hair tonight. Unsure of how I want to style it.

I always diffuse my hair. I cannot tolerate the wetness and coldness for hours.

@shortdub78
I do....air drying is not an option anymore I have too much hair and with a leave-in conditioner and gel (and I might be a little heavy-handed )if I wait for my hair to air dry it will be time for my next wash day a week later. So Im under my dryer 2x on wash day, once for deep conditioning and a second time for setting my bun.

halee_J · Oct 23, 2017

I used glycerine. I know I said I wouldn't now that its cold but I did. mixed glycerine with mango butter and that felt nice.

I think Ill be alright for this week in terms of humidity its supposed to be foggy/rainy.

Prettymetty · Oct 24, 2017

I kinda wanna bleach a small section of hair to an ash blond just to see what it would look like... :kiss3:
