Ok, I'm thinking this new V05 Silky Shea Cashmere has too much protein for me. I saw a few broken pieces in my bath and decided to do the stretch test. These hookas was poppin like strippers. Either that or it's just time for some clarifying. Either way, I did an acv rinse and put my hair on a high moisture diet and my curls are loving it. *gasp* I said curls. Yay!! :drunk:
 
So just chi'ed hair and it's wack. :/ I mean it's okay. But I almost want to do the mousse thing. At least it lays really nicely. Maybe I'll wait until I rollerset it and see how it looks in the morning.
 
Did not buy a lot of hair products at all for Black Friday...only bought a sample pack of Silk Elements MegaSilk Moisturizing Treatment and a wig cap (to wear under winter hats & head scarves)
 
detangling my hair with a comb for the first time in probably 2 months? been using my fingers

using kinky curly knot today.

this detangling session is going extremely easy and painless.

Random Re-enactment

Soooooooooooooooooooooo..........

I'm low manipulation, mostly wearing twists right now. I cowash a couple times a week and retwist each time. At least 1x a week, I'll DC, maybe just under a plastic cap around the house.

I washed and DC my hair today and put it in 4 Celie braids to airdry. Hubby wants to take our son to the park and wants me to come along. I reluctantly agree and mumble that my hair is still wet (but really, I'm just tired from cooking for 2 days by myself for Thanksgiving and just want to chill out at home).

HIM: You're always in your hair. No other woman in America cares that much about her hair. :blush: (Huh???!!! Has he never heard of lhcf?)

ME: "Are you kidding me? I can show you at least 4 boards full of women that are doing the same things."

HIM: "Nobody with a job! :blush: ...I mean, outside of the home.

ME: "Yes! Women WITH jobs! Women working OUTSIDE of the home. Women WITH kids. Women working FROM home. Women WITH hair!!! Either they're taking care of it themselves or sitting in somebody's shop, paying them to take care of it. Would you rather I sit in a shop for 4 hours once a week? Would that make you feel better? Then I can spend the rest of my leisure time eating bon bons with my feet up while chilling at home.

HIM: I just don't think ANYBODY does all that pre-poo, no-poo, poo-poo stuff that you do. If you're not doing it, you're researching and studying it. Or talking on the phone or skype about it. You're doing too much hair stuff.

ME: I guess you can say hair is my new hobby....OR, I can go back to my former hobby. Shopping. I'm cool with that. But I'll be buying some wigs so that I won't look busted shopping with unkempt hair.

HIM: I thought this would get easier when you went natural.

ME: No. I said if you wanted easier, I can just shave it bald...if you prefer.

HIM: :rolleyes:

ME: Of course, then I'd have to up my makeup game and you'd complain about that. Have me running around looking like a dude? Would you prefer I let myself go like that? Would you rather be married to a man-looking wife?

HIM: *sigh* You don't have to come to the park if you don't want to.

:lol:

I went. But I laughed inside the whole time. :brucelee:
 
I don't know if I should order from Oyin or Darcy's Botanical, I never ordered from them before and they both seem to have similar products. I'm trying to branch out from my Shea Moisture and AO staple lines.

I just bought some the other night when I was at the Dollar Tree. I'm hoping it's not the protein level b/c I'm a little sensitive. I'll try it one day next week during a COwash
 
I'm becoming a baby shampoo product junkie :ohwell: bought 3 that I don't like when i've been meaning to try the shea moisture stuff all this time

My oldest son needs something tear free and very clarifying for his locs
And my youngest barely has any hair on his head but i'm still fussing over it
 
I want my freaking wig!! I have been stalking this UPS tracking number waiting for my lace wig to arrive like a junkie! Per the tracking number my package is sitting in Louisville Kentucky. I see it's raining there today (yes I googled the weather:look:) but DARN it I betta see a new scan tomorrow! I was really hoping to have my unit in hand by Monday....:perplexed
 
That little girl on the front of African Pride Dream Kids Relaxer box is not relaxed. She and her sister both have beautiful heads of long natural curls.
 
I have come to the conclusion that in order to stay motivated to grow my hair long, I have to keep reading on the hair boards. I know what to do, but I just get lazy despite the fact that I do not do much to my hair. Sad... really, really sad…
 
Nearly 2 weeks since last wash that curly q's coconut conditioner I used as a leave in worked quite well

Going to detangle Tomorrow evening

day off on Monday may try the miss jessie stuff I bought

Sent from my iPhone using LHCF

Ms. Tiki

Let me know how it goes. I may give it another try. I bought 6 of 'em. Got a feeling I should've just stuck with Tea Therapy. Ah well
