I finally figured what my hair loves since I BC. It sfeeling so soft and moisturized I can't stop playing with it. I must admit this is the first time in months that I'm loving my TWA ...

What does it love?
 
I did a rollerset last night and my curls came out so soft and bouncey. When I went in to work this morning my boss complimented my hair. I guess he was tired of my two braids, LOL!
 
I finally got some aobc on my head. Used kimmaytubes luv natural leave on and the put oyin on top. I will put in a few braids to stretch overnight.
 
I was planning to stretch until the end of October, but I don't know if that's going to happen. :nono: My hair is in bad shape, particularly in the crown area. I kind of want to get it professionally done, but i'm also nervous about it. Don't need anymore setbacks.
 
I'm back to loving my wash sessions again! The Wet Brush is Uh-May-Zing at detangling my hair...so quick, and easy. I have a feeling I'll be investing in that Mason Pearson brush at BSL tho...it will be my gift to my hair for hitting the halfway mark!
 
Dropped my kids off and saw this lady with flat ironed w'hip length hair. It was imperfect enough to be sure that it was real. I almost broke my neck turning to estimate the length as she walked by. I'm in shrunken twists and suddenly felt regret for cutting my hair and not wearing it out more often while it was long. I knew exactly how that length felt out. *sigh* Ah well. I'll be back in a flash. In the meantime, my cute twists suddenly felt awefully short. :ohwell: C'mon hair. Grow!
 
Today makes 2 yrs I've been full natural and did my BC! My hair is in a puff today and will back in twist tomorrow.

faithVA Light foamy type moisturizers and light oils. Jenn from Komaza told me to switch from my heavier creamy based moisturizers to lighter moisturizers for optimum moisture absorbance since I have fine strands. I was skeptical because I have mostly 4b tightly coiled kinky hair and although my hair is fine, I have a lot of it so I felt that creamier based products would work better. Boy was I wrong!

I did the switch and my hair not only absorbs moisture better but retains it better too. I have been using Giovanni DLI which is non creamy, light and kinda foamy which leaves my hair soft and moisturized all day. My hair responded the same way to PM 'The Conditioner' which is gelish, light and foamy. I should have known my hair would react this way since prior to my KHA, I change my prepoo to coconut oil instead of EVOO and my hair loves the lighter coconut oil. I've also started using SM purification masque as my weekend cleanser and my hair took to it like a fish to water. No suprise that the second ingredient is none other than coconut oil and the cleanser is not creamy. It has the consistency of clay mixed w/ oils.

P.S. faithVA I'm always willing to help but please do the "@my name thing" cause I didn't know you asked me a question until I decided to surf on this thread again. Smooches.

I did mention you but if you look at the post it got jacked up some kind of way. I am doing something similar to you and using lighter products. I just haven't found the right product yet. Many of the products leave my hair feeling hard. I have a few more in my stash I'm going to try and then I will probably switch back to Taliah Waajid and see if those work better.
 
I d/c for the second time this week and I am experiencing shedding. I will try to d/c 2x next week to determine if it's the megatek I restarted or if it's too much D/c for my hair. Really hope it's not the MT since it didn't give me problems last time I used it.
 
I've been much less obsessed with my hair in the last couple of years than I had been from 2008 to 2010 (when I first started my HJ), and now my hair seems to be growing OK and I'm not going so crazy over length like I used to. I'm just living life, whilst still looking after my hair healthily and simply, and it's doing fairly well at the moment :). Still a way to get to full APL and beyond, but I can be patient now :)
 
got done detangling half of my hair a little while ago. still have the other half.

back on my finger detangling stuff. had to go back. i dont know why i even try going back to combs/brushes to detangle, it's never a good scene. i think i also prefer to detangle outside of the shower. i always said i prefer to do it under the running water.

just used a spray bottle of water and some as i am leave-in that ive had forever and used once. did a really nice job of getting those tangles away.

might have to get more just for detangling purposes? hmmm. maybe.
 
Random thought today......Folks make me mad. Tell me why today I go to two Walgreen stores for

Shea Moisture products and the shelves were wiped clean!!!!!!! Totally peed off! Going to Target!
 
I need to blow out my hair and MAYBE flat iron to give myself a good trim. It's been a hot minute since I had one, but do I feel like going through all that trouble just for it to revert in a heartbeat? Humidity out here is almost as bad as it was back in New Orleans.
 
Just finished washing my hair and threw it in a bun. Mehn I’m feeling this hairstyle and I’m lazy too so I guess I can do that
