Nix08[/USER];13993045]So, I've discovered pincurls...they give me the EXACT hair I want:yep: I am so in love:love: There has been an extra pep in my step and no mirror has passed me by:giggle:

:look: :blush: :look: Pics? Someone said lovely hair.... Where are the pics? :sad:
 
faithVA said:
Thanks @Nix08. They may not do it justice but it sure helps me see what you are talking about. When you said pin curls I imagined these teeny tiny tight curls all over your head. :blush: But your pictures cleared that up. You have a nice soft curl. Looks really good.

Thanks @faithVA. I know what you mean though...you roll up the hair with your fingers then pin them in place..I think they should be called finger curls:look: I know you're natural so it doesn't apply but there are different ways of rolling to get the look you want.

@Nix08 I love those curls! Did you do them on wet or dry hair? Also how did you do that bun in your avi?

sarathu Well the curls I did on airdried hair...I pin them as pincurl technique #2 in the attached link: http://www.healthyhairjourney.com/untitled4.html
she's a member here (she sells the hydrathermal products). First I moisturized and sealed like usual then did them then tied my hair up. Untie, unpin finger loosen and voila:yep:
As for the bun that's a banana clip put in horizontally (as taught to me by @divachyk):grin: The smaller the banana clip the better I think:yep: OH and using a banana clip makes bun making super duper easy.....trust me I'm style challenged so that banana clip and these pincurls have been delightful wonders for me:grin:

This is in part why I decided to be as natural with my products as I could....I didn't want WL hair just for me to use it to hide back acne (from air drying):nono:
 
@silenttullip- Thank you so much for the suggestions! I went back to the derm today and they gave me oral ketoconazole to take to calm this latest flare...I was originally on a no-buy challenge for conditioner (bc I have a problem with trying to find the "best" one & currently have about 20 different ones :look:). I then just extended it to all hair products bc I am poor, but this was serious, so don't feel bad :lol: I left work early yesterday to buy shampoo bc it was so bad :nono: I used Selsun Blue Medicated with Menthol & got relief for the first time in WEEKS :yay: I am hoping the oral treatment will help for an extended period of time :pray: I have been in the co-washing challenge since going natural, so maybe that led to my latest flare up?! :cry3: DAMN YOU SEBORRHEIC DERMATITIS
:burning: :wallbash: :angry2::whip::darkcloud::boxing::bat::catfight: :210::hardslap:

Dang I feel bad ur breaking ur challenge... One tip I know its hard
but DON'T SCRATCH massage. Maybe with oil or without. It should
soothe the scalp without damaging.
It's cause of my scalp that I can't keep challenges like that
I would say start with chagrin valley they have samples that
last a long time... Also make sure to test whichever shampoo bars
you buy first. I love the Rosemary Mint it takes away the sores
and redness, the tea tree & neem, ayurvedic herb, carrot milk & honey, olive and babassu are also my favorites. For Giovanni it gives itch relief
pretty fast I can even cowash with their conditioner which is usually horrible for scalps with SD. But anywho I do hope it works for you.




@Nix08 I'm sorry girl I hope u feel betta though but I'm glad it was just a dream

I know right!

Evening y'all. Made miso soup w/kale, bok choy and rock shrimp tonight and had a small piece of salmon on the side. So freaking delicious. My eldest boy is making a blueberry cobbler right now goin in the oven. Ummmhmmm.

So could I go a week without washing - of course not! :ohwell:

I diluted that new shampoo and it made a big difference. I like it so far - but I did have alot of oil on my hair prior to washing and it bout stripped all of that off. I used a new conditioner today too and it was a great scalp experience. Oh wow. I'll now after a few weeks if it is worth repurchasing.

Used Aloxxi Keratin Treatment on my hair length. I needed the protein. I'm in braids now and hope I can make 4 days. :lol:

I could literally taste that right now:lick: I'm so jealous:sad:
 
It is super easy to make. You can even pick up miso packs of soup at the grocery (if you have an international section or an Asian grocery nearby)

1 bunch of kale - all stems removed, chopped fine, sauteed in a tsp of oil and a bit of water. Add soy sauce or Bragg's Aminos. *This is for a family sized pot

16 cups of water - bring to a boil, add 2 large cloves of garlic, crushed and chopped. 2 tbsps fish sauce - you can omit this and use chicken broth or just soy sauce

Add kale, and chop 3-4 leaves of bok choy finely chopped to boiling water

Add 1 pk of firm tofu (mash w/your hand to break up)

Season to your liking.

Cook down soup. The last 10 mins add shrimp to low boiling stock and 4 green onions chopped.





**this cobbler is RIGHT

LOL all this made me think about when we use to use paper bags to roll our hair up. :lachen: :lachen: :lachen: and the pin curls are so old even if you were not wearing your hair down you still pin curl them up and then take them out in the morning to put your hair in a bun. protective just like we do today lol
