Ooh. I vote for organize and clean hair related stuff. That is always so much fun.I can either:
- wash-and-elongate my hair via that method upthread similar to African threading,
- organize and clean up my hair related stuff, or
- watch the latest episode of Jane the Virgin.

With all of the discussion of Shea moisture I decided I would like to use more black owned natural and homemade products. I am also thinking about giving up the bkt too or maybe using it only once or twice a year. It depends on if I am ready to deal with my natural texture again.
I would love some suggestions if anyone can help direct me.

Amazing ingredients! I wish they had a trial size because the 8 & 16 ounces are pricey! Are you going to try it?

I feel the same!
I have too many products right now. I can't until I use some of these DCs up.
Because of the cost, I'm only willing to purchase the more economical bundle. I don't know when my stash will reduce, though. I don't run through anything but that SM Hipo mask and the CRN gel.

NotLucky no mo' just blessed.
I had a dream I took my sew in out. It's probably cause it's so itchy and I really need to wash it. Also, I really need to buy some more X21 but something always comes up

Is the SM Hipo mask really that good? I want to like SM products but my hair did not respond to anything I tried. The Hipo mask sounds like something my hair could benefit from. How do you use it to achieve the best results or do you just follow the directions?

It's HG for me, but not for a lot of ladies here at LHCF.
I use it as a softening detangler or prepoo or cowash -- either one. I don't really use it as a DC because I don't get lasting moisture with most DCs, including this one. This morning I took down my ponytail puff and applied the SM hipo masque to dry hair. I flashed my hair under warm shower water. Within a few minutes, my hair felt like heaven. Since my hair was not very tangled, my fingers just slid through as I did light detangling.

Wow.
This woman is scary knowledgeable about hair and ingredients.
This video is about the MHM, but you can ignore that and learn almost everything you want to know about a TON of ingredients that constantly show up in hair products. I feel I need to add this to the MHM thread and video collection thread once I'm off my tablet.
She is the creator of EarthTones Naturals, and she has an educational background surrounding hair, I believe I read somewhere.

P.S. I echo you: I can't get any other SM product to work very well for me. At first the hipo gel seemed good, then I started getting residue and flaking and dryness with it. I've tried milks, other masques, leave-ins, a few poos. Nothing was great. The lowpo leave-in was pretty good. I heard the hibiscus line's gel was good, but my jar's contents were super hard and unpokeable even. Now I keep seeing jars in stores with gel that moves, and it smells great. Maybe one day I'll get too curious and try it again, anew. For now, I have 3 really good gels that will last me years.

I just cut my hair 2 months ago from about an inch or so past apl to shoulder length. I just randomly pulled a lock of hair....i'm back at apl. The first time it took me forever to get here. I remember at one point thinking my terminal length was APL then I strolled on by. Time to make some new goals. BSL here I come!

Thanks so much for the response. When I run out of the next 4 products (I have WAY too many products to purchase NTthing else), I will try this next as a pre-poo.

Long term protective styles aren't working for me. I lost more hair than I retained. Thinking of cutting it all off

Me, too! I have too many products to permit ANY type of purchasing, and I really, really, really, really want to purchase the Natty Naturals bundle, some EarthTones Naturals products, and the Camille Rose Naturals growth serum.

No need to bleach the knots on these because they're synthetic. Just pluck the part a little and then use concealer.I just bought Outre Ariana and Valentina. My question for you ladies is, are we still bleaching knots? Cuz I'm not sure if I have the patience for all of that.

Really? For some reason I thought they worked for you. Why are you thinking of cutting it off? Sorry you lost hair!

Thanks, and I don't really even have to do that cuz they claim it's pre plucked.
We'll see.

Alright, finally back on this side of the board again! I've had my hair short in a tapered natural cut for about a year and a half and I'm ready to grow my hair back again. This time around though I will keep my hair straight (let my hairdresser do it) and weeks in between that wear a perm rod set. I think I'm gonna document it this time around in a blog. My regimen/products will be simple. I don't have time for all the extras this time around.

Post partum shedding still and detangling after the protective style. I'm over it. Might as well have a TWA.
