For the ladies that have extra-large satin bonnets, where did you get yours? I need an extra-large one so that my twist outs and wash and gos last longer. I was looking on etsy and amazon. If you could provide an exact link to it, that would be even better.

I shampood with Ion Keratin shampoo mixed with garnier sleek shot then deep conditioned under the dryer with Keracare Humecto. Next I added Chi silk infusion and blow dried on high. It’s time to straighten and trim. Today is a beautifying day :gorgeous:

I don't use the big bonnets but I use these large scarves that I tie on either without tucking the tail or just loosely tucking the tail after it's tied on. Works like a big bonnet only it's more adjustable for my hair style. HTH! :)

What I love about Alikay's Black shampoo is that is leaves my cuticle so smooth and my hair and scalp clean.... You can't beat that.

When I use Mo's shampoo, my hair feels rough.......

Plan on taking my hair care seriously this year. I stopped caring about 3 years ago. But I’m back on. My last relaxer was mid-June and I took down my sew in today and I have 3.5 inches of new growth which means I’m getting 0.5 inches a month :clap:. This is exciting for me as a slow grower (0.3in/month). Idk what I did? But since June I’ve been in sew ins and braids but that should effect retention not growth???? I’m planning to relax next week with my Mizani Butter blends that I had to get from NYC (got two giant tubs).
Plan for this year-
Cornrow my hair and wear a wig
Oil my scalp daily with my mix (wild growth, castor, mane choice oil, olive oil, peppermint oil, been oil, hibiscus oil)
Wash my hair once a month. Sounds gross but I think it helped with my last sew in to avoid manipulation me matting
Take my vitamins
Keep drinking water
Hard protein treatment and deep condition once a month
Aloe Vera/scurl spritz daily
Vibrating scalp massager daily

hoping to get past my bra strap length plateau and finally make it waist length

I used the tester bottle (at Target) and although the smell was nice it had a sticky consistency and I had a few strands break off while applying. It was like massaging glue into my ends. I really wanted it to work for me though.

I wanted to like the 24 Karat Twisting Gel. I read so many reviews from people saying their twistouts looked so great with it, but I really didn't like the way my twistouts looked with it.
I tried for a wng and it was a big fat no. I love the brand on my oldest. Like it's one of the few that worked extremely well for her but I hate buying a bunch of different things for everyone in the house.
