Thanks ladies for your input! I'm gonna get it on Kindle then for sure! It's weird I'm gonna be honest my hair takes medium time to dry, it soaks up water is ok with light protein as long as I moisturize shortly after but it doesn't stay moist throughout the day well with this DB sweet cocoa Creme and doing the LOC method it has been but I need to do more research I'm starting to think finding out the key to this may help me with what I feel about my texture (4B/C hair will be coarse and dry) it shouldn't matter
 
Im sooo excited, just bought travel sizes of joico k Pak (my hair loves protein) and joico moisture. They both come with shampoo conditioner and somekind of treatment or masque. I already know i like joico somewhat. Can't wait to try them out and see if any will become staples. I also bought cantu shea butter leave in to switch it up as my moisturiser if i like it
 
Just got all of my supplies to make my own dc. when I finally whip it up and if it works like it does in my head, I'll come back and share the results and the recipe
 
Here's my partial flat iron pic. I did this today to get an idea of where I was. My hair is in good condition. I'm going to post more pics in the album as soon as I can get my camera connected. :yep:

shortdub78 :yep: you deserve that wen 613, you have been using the products that you have and not buying every little band wagon, but I think that 613 sounds like a winner for your hair. Waiting for your review.
 
So mad right now. That Cantu shea butter left white residue and flakes in my hair. I also have alittle matting in the back. I'm dc now.

I have know ideal why this product is doing this to my hair.

i have been holding out on buying this for two years! so i hope the heavens open up, angels singing appear, and doves fly around in the bathroom when i try this out! :lol:
 
Finally posting my start pic. I used the instyler for the first time. I like the results but its a little too straight for me. I will be sleeping either in pin curls or satin rollers.

I can't predict when I'll make it to BSL. I don't really care what month as long as it happens sometime in 2013. It'll be the longest my hair has ever been so ill be grateful if it happens at all.

Does anyone else have hair anorexia? My hair looks so short to me!

That's exactly what it did to my hair. The 1st time I used it on clean hair it was great. But when I went to use it the next day my hair felt alittle hard.

I was embarrassed about the white residue and flakes cause my coworkers were the ones that noticed it and w/ office gossip, I know they thinking I don't wash my hair. Oh well:\

are you talking about the leave-in conditioning repair cream? i like that stuff. i haven't had any problems with it.
 
shortdub78, I'm right here with you on the WEN! I was excited to get home and see that there was a WEN attempted delivery and a notice to pick up from the post office. :yep: It's a 3 month supply of the Winter Vanilla Mint, I've been hearing rave reviews about! I can't wait to go get it tomorrow. I'm looking forward to another great co-washing! This is my fourth WEN flavor and no disappointments yet! :lick: Oh yeah, WEN 613 will be your new "baby daddy". :grin:

BTW, my Public Service Announcement: I will NOT be trying to stretch my relaxers to 12 weeks! I am not risking knots and breakage, I'm on a length retention mission and "Ain't nobody got time for that!!!" :naughty:

oh i can't wait! it is suppose to be delivered Jan 2nd. i ordered if from QVC. they were offering for people to pay $12 extra for it to be here by Christmas. i thought that wasn't a good deal.

i really want to try it to see if it will help minimize tangling. and yeah, i wouldn't risk stretching either for that.

i always feel like a bald headed chicken. i think i will feel better once i get to MBL.
 
Up early for travel day! Can't wait to go back home, but this is gonna be the longest flying day ever! I put the hair up in a bun so that I can have it up and out of the way. I know it probably looks a hot mess, but who the hell cares. Ain't nobody checkin for me or my hair in the airport :lol:

One is gonna be hair products and the other food products that I love from there that we can't get here on the island.

@shortdub78, yes the cantu shea butter leave-in. This might sound like a dumb question, but how do you apply yours?

@Iluvsmuhgrass, wow, your hair looks pass APL. Are you planning on flat ironing the rest of your hair?

@buddhas mom, your hair looks great. I've always wanted to try the instyler but I didnt think it would get my hair straight enough. But now I know it can after seeing your hair.:yep: I ALWAYS feel like my hair is super short. I really hope by the time I reach BSL or MBL I will get over it. Everytime I feel like my hair is super short, I just want to throw in the towel and not care anymore.

@NikkiQ, I LUV that bun!

Morning Ladies!!!

I tried to flat iron my hair this morning and my flat iron broke:nono: So I have two rows of straight hair and the rest is curly. I decided to wear my silk bonnet under a wool cap. I am just having the worst luck with my hair this week:nono: Yesterday, after I DC (sealed it w/ walnut oil) for an hour, I clarified w/ J-Koico reconstructer shampoo and then co-rinse w/ Suave. I M&S w/ Neutrogena Triple Moisture Leave-in and sealed with Avocado Oil. I really LOVE the Neutrogena leave-in and the Avocado & Walnut Oils. I think they were by far the best purchases I bought this year.

I plan on borrowing my sister's CHI flat iron to straighten my hair w/ it this weekend.

Happy Growing Ladies!!!:drunk::drunk::drunk:
 
How frustrating pelohello!

I did a Henna treatment overnight and I had really good colour pay-off, I just mixed it with water and left it to sit for about an hour applied it onto clean damp hair and slept. Another point to add is I tried the Joico moisture recovery shampoo and conditioner and while I loved the shampoo I thought the conditioner was meh but lo and behold I didn't have the time to DC right away (after using henna!) and I left my hair to air dry with no product so I could DC later. It is now fully dry and the SOFTEST i have ever felt my dry hair feel. I think its the Conditioner :)
