Just left Sally's. The clerk was trying HARD to get me to buy a beauty club card. They're on sale for $2.50, I don't know for how long though. I didn't get one, it's still not worth it to me. Their prices are just ridiculous at this point! Even the small sample sizes are 3, 4, and 5 dollars.
LOL, do I sound cheap?

No you sound sane
 
Im at my momma house, the only products she has are white rain shampoo and conditioner, softee mango butter, a relaxer kit and softee gel. Idk what im gonna do to my hair tonight. Its dry and I hate dry hair. No spray bottle to put water in. I didn't plan on staying but I didn't feel good and now my hair paying for it. Help LHCF.

Just sent DH to the store to buy neem, brahmi, and bhringraj powders. I hope he finds them. Crossing fingers.

I have all them but I haven't used them yet. How do you plan on using them?

If there is honey and cooking oils in the house, do a deep treatment with honey, oil, and the conditioner. Co-wash it out with the conditioner, leave some in, seal with butter (or any cooking oils in the pantry) and bun with the gel and/or butter.

The beauty card is well worth it if you shop there more than a few times a year IMO.
 
AtlantaJJ I purchased my first powder today. Do you have a regimen posted somewhere? (I'm on my phone so sorry if it's in your siggy).

daviine I don't have my regimen posted yet because I'm just getting it perfected through trial and not so much error, but just figuring out what works best for my hair. I will make it a point to post it in my blog.

What powder did you purchase?
 
Tired of these tiny lil plaits all over my head. Why can't I straighten my hair as if I had a fresh relaxer after 8 weeks of NG? Its never the same. Its always poofy. After this Dec length check I'm going to relax every 12 weeks because I want to wear my hair out & straight more after reaching my goal. Sigh...Bored.

Thanks. I'm not sure where I want to start. So much to learn and do many possibilities. I only purchased neem because the store I went to didn't have everything i was looking for.

shortt29 I also need lavender buds powder but I was going to make an herbal hair wash I saw in a book. I'd also like to make a hair oil. Not sure if AVV rinses can be done with the powders.

Keep in mind that I'm a newbie when it comes to Ayurvedic hair care. :grin:

daviine we need to talk! Its a lot to Ayurveda but I can help you narrow the scope of things down. I'll put some questions on your page LHCF page for you to consider, and then I can introduce you to my main source of Ayurveda information. We can be Ayurveda buddies! :yep:
 
Cut a few inches off my hair a few months back and today I'm in protective style mode. My plan is to PS until December (second press of the year).
 
I want to buy some new hair products, BUT I feel like I should wait for the Black Friday sales. I just need to hold on, but I am like ready to pull the trigger!
 
Waiting for this funky mood towards my hair to pass. Did not have a good wash day yesterday because my hair tangled up so detangling afterward was NOT fun. Now that I'm right at APL it's probably time to tweak my washing routine.
 
Why is my crown drier, shorter and hella nappier than the surrounding hair? Why couldn't my whole head be covered with 4a coils instead of only the back where I can't see them? What kind of medeval sorecery is this???:sad:

hhhhhhm.....WHYdoes one side of my hair grow faster aand WHY is one side ALWAYS THICKER????!!!! Is this only me ......???Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy??????? :sad::nono:

Medieval sorcery indeed!^^^

I got the same dang problem....and that crown never ever grows. Breaks too easy.

Ok, I have all of these problems. :nono:
 
Almost 4 months post relaxer and loving my coils...now if I could just get my coils to stop fighting my relaxed hair everything would be perfect :)
 
Went and chopped off 4-5in of hair and I feel so liberated. It's now grazing apl stretched and a cute little fro when shrunken. It feels good to have nice fresh new ends. It was so much easier to cowash and detangle. Now the goal is to just be kind to them in order to keep them.
 
I saw some old pictures of my hair & I wish I could remember that regimen. I know that I textlaxed, used protein (commercial mayo), & protective styled (braidouts & straw sets w/blue grease) even though that's not what I called it at the time. I can't remember what relaxer I used
 
I hope that by the time I take these braids out the humidity will have subsided. I'm ready to flat iron my hair. I'm tired of feeling like the ugly duckling on campus.
 
So...I'm pretty sure I broke my toe a few hours ago. But that didn't stop me from whipping up my MT Mix, that I'd slacked on making for the past few days, and applying it to my hair. If I gotta go to the ER, I'm gonna be DC'ing the entire time.

My DH wore himself out poking fun at me....and I don't care. :lol:
 
waaaaaaah! i neeeeeeeeeeeeeeed my hydrolyzed keratin! i need it i neeed it i neeeed it. i need thursday to get here so i can order some.
 
I'm SO in need of indigo. I just hate going thru all the trouble. Eh, maybe Thursday or Friday. :look: Procrastination at it's finest.
 
Coming here for a quick confessional: Was on my way to the breakroom for water and was walking behind a lady I don't think I know. At first I thought about how her fat rolls looked under her knit top and said to myself that I don't want to look like that and then noticed she was also wearing a bad, shiny weave that looked like it had oil on it. :sad:
