Do you use the cleanser and gel?

I want to try the cleanser myself. They used it on me at the salon and it felt really nice. The gel however is meh for me. Either I'm using it wrong or it just doesn't have a strong enough hold. I'll use what I have up but it's not a repurchase.

There’s a woman sitting one row behind me on the plane with beautiful hair. Would it be weird if I asked her where she goes to get it cut? I’m hoping she lives here, but I guess there’s a good chance that she doesn’t.

I just straightened this morning and my hair is already poofy. I did a keratin treatment 2 weeks ago. Idk. I think I need a new blow dryer... I used Chi silk infusion. Any tips on how to make a diy blowout last longer than a day?

I don’t have any tips beyond cross-wrapping it and using a few drops of baby oil (maybe ??) but ... what nail polish are you wearing? It’s a nice color

Okay, I have a confession:
I put a rinse on my hair after I just dyed it on Saturday
I know what you’re thinking
And to be honest I thought I was gonna brush out handfuls of hair too, but remember this wasn’t the only crazy I’ve done to my hair. Remember when I had two totally different textures of hair and I re relaxed within a week or two?
I did do a lazy protein treatment (I mixed the 2 Step with APB Keratin Treatment and left it on for 30 minutes) and I’m currently D.C.-ing with Mielle Mongongo Oil Hydrating conditioner. Also for 30 minutes lol. I’m very surprised at how little hair I’ve lost. And I detangled lol. You go Sybil
However, I’ve come to realize that if I want some actual color...I need to bleach. I’m scurred of that though. I remember what happened the last time, but in all honesty I didn’t start at the ends first.

I'm trying to put my hair in mini braids for the summer so that I'll have a low maintenance style I can swim with and wash frequently but my arms are tired and I can't sit up right and breathe because I'm 36 weeks and 4 days preggo. Not to mention it's taking forever to get to the end of my hair now that it's grazing APL at the top. I need help but I don't trust anyone else with my hair

Lol thanks. It’s OPI Berlin There. I got it at Sally’s probably on clearance because I’m cheap

Almost fell for the okie doke and thought I could wear wash and goes this summer without ssks. Everytime my hair gets around APL, I get the urge to do something stupid. I'll finish the other half of my hair with these mini braids so I can swim and avoid tangles. My 4b hair is not with all that foolishness.

Yep.Slowly coming back and embracing the PJ life. I love being extra AF with my hair and if it's not making me broke why not?
I can be a minimalista natural if I want to but that's boring!
YES!

I just checked the condition of my hair and I didn’t lose not ‘nan nap. Hair does feel a little softer though. Shrinkage is on point too, but that’s probably because I sweated my hair at the House Music Festival.

You can get me to eat mostly anything if there are bell peppers in it. Actually any kind of peppers... red, yellow ....green... Throw in some garlic and onions and now you might make me fall in love.

I am trying not to cry. I haven't had shoulder length hair in years. 
It's a cute cut. That is, if I wore my hair straight. But I'm not great at straight hair. Plus I exercise too much to wear my hair straight long.
What makes people cut 4 inches of hair off? It all COULDN'T have been damaged. I was just in there 6 months ago. Y0u can't get 4 inches of damage in 6 months... not wearing it curly, you can't.
I'm not going to cry. I'm not liking the look of the wash and go. Looks like a big unruly afro with shrinkage. I think I can do a good braid out. I just have to remember how I used to do it. I don't even remember anymore.
I said, my overall goal is length. So why, oh why did she cut so much?
My mom had long hair. She's cut it and it'd grow back. But within a decade of my current age, it DIDN'T grow back. Plus, I'm not great at all the protective stuff, and I like to play in my hair. So length doesn't come that easy to me.
Sigh... poor me. I never win. I guess I'm going to cry a little.

@LadyRaider Aww, honey
That’s why people hate going to the salon. Maybe next time you can visit a Supercuts or something with your hair straightened and tell them exactly how much to cut.
