So I am going to give in this week and relax my hair. All I need to do is find a new moisturiser or two but I dont know what to buy. Anybody have any suggestions?

I am a few months post / my hair was feeling dry. I reached in my ole basket (stuff that... well you know :look:), anyway, this stuff impressed me! :) I seal with One 'N Only Argan Oil.

Hope this helps! :)

I do them separately, but you've got me wondering. Even if a shorter time for the henna doesn't produce as red a red as I'm used to, the indigo should still give me the same jet black.

Okay. You've convinced me. I'll try the henna after 12 hours and see what happens. Thanks MsDee14. I'm post the results.

Do you mix the Henna and Indigo together? I find that regardless if I mix the henna the same day or a few days before, I still get the same results. If I Indigo..I usually mix my henna that day (or day before since I let it sit overnight) and it doesn't matter either.

MsDee14, I cut the time down and got the same copper red I normally do, so that works. :grin: I think I started the 24 hours because the directions say overnight which to me wasn't long enough. Thanks!
 
acapnleo

Ors is one that i have that wasnt giving me the moisture that it was before. I got my hair relaxed today so I have to find something to use so maybe i will try that again and see how it works.

Have u tried NTM Silk Touch Leave in as a moisturizer? Plus it's light weight.

I also mix the One N Only Argan oil with the ORS moisturizer before applying it, but that's when I'm wearing my hair up cause it can be a little weightful ( lol that is not a word)
 
And feeling good about keeping my regimen. Happy too that I found something cool for my edges after I rollerset. Can't wait to see how my hair looks in the morning. When in doubt I need to use smaller rollers to make sure my texlax stretches enough n to avoid puff disasters. This weekend will try not washing n see wht my hair does. I've done it before just gotta find a forreal regimen where I don't need to wash it Friday n Saturday nights.
 
dear hair,

i promise promise promise to never ever ever go that long without detangling again.

omfg i'm so glad i decided to do my detangling tonight. saves me a lot of trouble on thursday night when i re-do my hair because on friday i'll be too busy traveling to do anything to my hair.

yeesh.

speaking of detangling...have yall noticed that when you type detangle, the squiggly red line appears under it. haha i guess "detangle" isnt an official word.
 
Had yet another hair dream about being APL. I really need to have my hair flat ironed to put this anxiousness at ease. It's driving me insane.
 
I so miss my natural hair; however my natural hair was going nowhere fast. I tried everything and was extrememly patient the past 3 years. After all that time, I only had three to four inches of hair. Puhleeease. And even if I dont have the legnth, to make matters worse it just looked a hot mess too. I was jus so angry with my hair that I texturized just so I could try something new and try a different route on my "healthy hair" journey. I dunno, I just can't understand why my hair wont progress. It's ridiculous and frustrating.

On a brighter note, I cant wait for my Cassia and Kalpi Tone to arrive. I look forward to giving the Ayurvedic regimens a try; I also will be simplifying my regimen, I will start taking vitamins E, Flaxseed and fish oil (Biotin gave me major migraines) and I have cut out meat, exercised more and drink more water. I've been focusing more on improving my overall wellness and health and perhaps my hair may be rewarded in the process. :)
 
I forgot to add that although I no longer have my hair blog, I am going to start a hair diary with pictures so I can monitor my progress. Maybe I'll start a Fotki.

Goals:
Edges and Crown need 911 Emergency care from a weave gone wrong :(
Hair is thin, lifeless and just blah
Although I do not suffer from breakage, i do want my hair to be stronger and thicker

ANd all this was after being natural for three years. Makes me wonder what the big deal about being natural was (for me). But I wont give up; I'll give healthy hair one more shot. Now I am texturized.Time to roll up my sleeves and get to work.
 
I didn't want to start an entire thread devoted to this question so if anyone feels like answering, please do.

I'm doing my very 1st henna treatment later tonight. I made tea with hibiscus leaves & used that for the base for my henna. I've read that hibiscus is supposed to be very hydrating.

My plan is to add some aloe vera gel & some honey to the mix after it has set. How does that sound? Does anyone know if the hibiscus tea will give me more of a red effect? TIA...
 
I need to figure out a reggie that works in a more tropical climate, but I can't search on here and searching LHCF threads through Google is giving me a headache! :spinning::perplexed:ohwell::nono:
 
My hair is on the path to recovery. Yay!!! I ditched Elasta QP leave in conditioner. I added Apoghee 2 minute reconstructor, a second hot oil treatment with a mixture of ceramides oil and added a little olive oil and honey to my moisturizing deep conditioners for the past three weeks. So far so good. I have a quarter size patch of hair that broke off down to the root, partly from recent stress and a no lye relaxer. I have been moisturizing and sealing this area everyday and it is improving as well. No, plans to relax anytime soon at this point in time. If I decide to relax again, I will probably go back to a lye relaxer as my hair seems to stay much more moisturized.
 
I applied leave-in conditioner to sections of my hair and made double strand twists. I will dust the ends after my morning swim.
 
*Le sigh* I really need to wash my hair. Well, at least my scalp. It's 11pm. Is there really time? Maybe if I just wash my scalp. Detangling and I have to dance another day. :look:


ETA: Ahhhh. Clean. That feels better.
