My hair feels like a brillo pad. I'm going to try using grease. I've been natural for almost five years, and my mom has been nagging me the entire time to cure my moisture issues with hair grease. If this works out I'm not gonna tell her. Don't wanna hear the "I told you so" speech.
 
Anybody who is a member of this board should be trimming their own hair. How many SHS stories do you have to read before you learn to cut your own hair? It's so easy.

i use grease for moisture:blush: i mean its called hair and scalp conditioner for a reason:yep:
 
Cleaned my scalp with some sea breeze and sprayed it with some taliah waajid's protective mist bodifier. Moisturized my mini twists with a spritz of water/tresemme naturals and sealed with oil. Feeling good!
 
DH just layed down a challenge to grow my hair to HL....well Game On Sukka!!! :hardslap: I told him the first order of business was going to be slapping him with my ponytail. :lachen:
 
Im trying to be a good girl and stick to my staples but my inner PJ wants to jump out and try new stuff.

My staples are:

Tresemme Naturals conditioner
EcoStyler Argan

I recently bought:

SM Curl and Style Milk (love it!!!!!)
Curly Q's La La Meringue moisturizing spray
And the 8oz jar of MJ Curly Pudding is still going strong. I do like this too...but im growing tired of the grape salt water taffy smell.

I actually bought some grape taffy the other day bc of the smell! Lol!

Im gonna use these up and stick to what i know. But i DO need hair clips in my life. I want a new Ficcare clip. Tired of having hair in my face all the time!!

I normally use coconut oil to moisture and I thought I was saving time by adding coconut oil to my oil sealing concoction. When I should have been applying the coconut oil, and then sealing with my oil mix. I touched up some of my box braids over the weekend, and my ends were really dry.
 
I sometimes hate giving people hair advice re: products even if they ASK for it. I always make sure to say - you do not need to buy the exact products/brands I buy. You need to get some basics and work from there. I buy more expensive products because I can afford them, and they happen to be HG status for ME. Sigh.

You say you have very little money. I give recommendations for products I know are reasonable/cheap, accessible on the ground and give decent results. But you dismiss that, pressing further about the 'expensive -sounding' one you saw me mention on FB. And when I inform you about the price, the fact that I have to buy online, you moan and groan about how you could never afford THAT - why must I like those expensive things. :perplexed:

I do not understand you. I really don't.

I usually mix my unpleasant smelling oils with one that smells good. Like Vatika oil, coconut oil or my Life's love Africa's Best Oil. HTH
 
I have just discovered that I have protein overload. Im super pissed about it too. I have to dc overnight twice this week to make my hair soft again.

word! i was doing fine with self trimming until a SHS added layers to my hair and got rid of my hard earned U shape!:sad: i dont trust stylists at all!
 
I wore a headband all last week and no one noticed I cut my hair to 2". I took the headband off and everyone noticed I got a haircut :look: Weird :nono:
 
FoxxyLocs You are exactly right! She made a 'joke' about how she needs to come shopping by me, and try out some of them products. :perplexed Wait what?

Umm no fool. I work hard for this money....believe that. Your arse aint shopping nowheres.:nono: She will never be invited to my house....I won't trust her near my ish.
 
You know that moment when you put your hair in a bun for your phony pony and it takes some real wiggling to get the phony pony over the bun after you tried to make a small bun..yea that is happening right now..it's cool but it's so funny to have to push the bun in..
 
lots to talk about...:grin:

browsed through some old posts on my hj blog...it's amazing how many hair problems i've solved with persistence, patience, and a sprinkle of product-junkie-ism :yep: my stretches have become so much easier with experience, and my regimen/routine's getting simpler and simpler!

so excited for my huetiful hair steamer to come in! i keep coming across positive reviews for it and im so ready to use that bad boy in my dorm when school starts! also looking forward to receiving my safflower oil...never used it before, but i'm hoping my hair likes it so i can test the effects of ceramides on my hair (especially my troublesome ends!)

been using aussie split end protector for a few weeks now and i love it! i may be delusional but i think i am seeing an improvement in my ends as far as retaining moisture goes (this should get even better in combo with the steamer!!) i will try using it as an everyday moisture so i can save money instead of buying my usual one. so far it seems to offer more long-lasting softness than my former(?) one. the split end protector, the turbie towel, mane n tail detangler, & softee's protein styling gel have been lifesavers for me during this stretch!!! :heart:
 
Jeebus...I'm 15 weeks post! This is what happens when you don't pay attention to your touch ups like that.


Welp....I have 5 more weeks until I absolutely have to relax.....
