Shampooing with Keracare hydrating detangling shampoo and then applying evco on damp hair was a really good combo.

Since the shampoo lightly conditions I did not feel the need to condition after that.

I considered not repurchasing this shampoo but I will be getting the largest shampoo I can find and I will be doing this 1x a month to see how my hair handles this.

If it works well I will switch to using avocado oil in the fall/winter
 
think i am going to cowash or just rinse my hair today. i am going to start back rinsing daily. i loved how it felt. i would just rinse my hair and spray Oyin JB in it. i wasn't slapping moisturizer in all of the time and it thrived last year.

I started my HHJ with a freshly layered cut. I only used the splitender since then. I really like it. Just need to make sure the blades are sharp. I'm looking forward to using it next week. The trim isn't even noticeable and it keeps your ends fresh. I love it.

Ok NJoy u definitely sold me with that.... I definitely am going to make this purchase now that I know you've only trimmed with this since u began ur hair journey.... Damn it I thought I was done buying products! Lol. I will probably use it with every relaxer since that's when I normally trim... Do u think its really necessary to go over each section three times? Do you do that? Also do u find that ur ends last when u use it? I know someone on YouTube said her ends stayed fresh for three to four days before noticing splits again....

Two more weeks to my install and I think I am getting used to having my hair up. The first install might be a little tough but I think after that I will easily make it to December.

I go over each section 2-3 times. And, I don't use it from root to tip. I only do the last few inches of my hair (avoiding the line of demarc like the plague). My ends stayed beautiful all last year for sure. I know this because I was obsessive about protecting my ends. Maybe YT girl was using a dull blade or leaving her ends exposed. My ends stayed smooth as silk. Just talking about it, I can't WAIT to use my splitender next week. Tending to those ends allows you to keep the growth you accumulate.

I baggy bunned my ends a lot last year. I haven't done that much this year but am getting back to that now. Fresh ends and then baggied from then? Girl! That's the move. :yep:
 
I got a Denman! I really don't know how I ever detangled my hair before! When I say I am in LOVE with this thing...LOVE. It makes me wanna detangle more...


Also I had a dream about hair sticks...They were on sell 5 for $10. I don't even use them...I'm thinking my hair is trying to send me a message via dreams. lol
 
I'm feelin' my afro hair today. Normally I try to "tame it" and make it look like a more defined wave pattern, but I'm actually liking it's real texture shining through today in all its afrolicious goodness!
 
It's a beautiful Friday, and pay day, but all I can think about is how I want to either deep condition my hair or give myself a hot oil treatment tonight :ohwell:.

I want to attempt KinkyKurlyQueen's mini braids or twists! It would be a great low manipulation hairstyle for the summer, but I just don't know if I can do it myself :nono:. This might be one of those times that it's better to pay someone to do my hair for me...

I have been wanting to do this for a while myself. I just can't imagine taking all of that down though.
 
New weave equals headache....

My head hurts a little, I took some pain pils last night, but I tell you the beehive in the middle is causing me some problems (that is my super sore spot)!!!!

Take a spray bottle with some water as hot as you can stand it and spray the sections of the weave. This should help loosen them up.

This is what I did when I chopped the 2nd time when I was relaxer free.

I just washed and bounced it was so much easier that way.
 
I had a good experience at the salon today. It was the first time in 2 1/2 years that I was at an actual salon. I did a very detailed interview with the stylist 2 weeks ago so I would be comfortable. Today I brought my own styling tools and came with my hair already detangled in 6 twists. The wash session was very simple. My hair treatment went smooth. It is funny how everything goes more smoothly when you make clear what you will/wont allow and then correct the stylist when she doesnt do exactly as you wish:) I love the confidence that doing my own hair has brought. I will not be visiting the salon anymore for awhile since I get similar/better results in my pjs at home thanks to you ladies:)

I hate to admit this, but I had to "come to terms" with my afro. I kept thinking "with the right products, I could have some poppin' 3 c curls!" :lachen: Uh, not quite. Then I thought "ooohh look at all these pretty 4a-type corkscrew curls, I probably have those!"Um....:nono:

It's a fro. It is what it is, and doggone it, I'm gonna find a way to rock it!

One time I put my facebook status as "Well...how did I get here?" (line from Talking Heads' "Once in a lifetime.") My genius older brother, who was the only one who caught the reference responded "but another line in that song is 'how do I work this?'" I had to give him about 10,000 cool points for that one! :yep:
 
-I'm not mad at my cameraman anymore.
-Must buy bobby pins.
-I've been looking at my nails; they're growing nicely. Been thinking about buying nail polish. My inner girly-ness is showing. *hides*
-I feel like I probably used the semicolon wrong. So much hatred for that thing.
