Heavy seal with an oil. There was a thread on this a while ago and I've started doing this after my last trim a couple months ago.

I twist my hair and dip the ends in olive oil twice a week. Fewer knots and splits.

I keep my hair twisted also and do the same thing. I use vatika oil or coconut oil and sometimes I'll use shea butter.
 
I so wish the hair all over my head would be like this one big patch at the front. The strands are thick, the density is high, the strands retain length easily, it is easy to straighten because it is like 3c texture (no coils or waves), easy to detangle, etc. I freaking love that patch! It is all the other strands that cause me to cuss every week. Hard to detangle. Fine/medium strands. Doesn't know what the f it wants to do (coil, s-waves, whatever). Shrinks like no tomorrow. Dry as a mug. Fights me constantly. If I could pay, I would ...just to get it to be like my patch. Le sigh.
 
oh wow, i still smell my dove conditioner after rinsing it out, moisturizing and sealing the following day. even SO thought i was deep conditioning under my scarf. good thing i like the smell of the conditioner
 
I am no longer straightening my hair but twice a year. It looks lifeless. It's been one day and I miss my curly hair already but I don't want to wash it because that's like 3 hours I took out of my life to do this. I workout daily too so underneath looks a little frizzy from sweating. So dumb.
 
Im at the start of a yearlong transition to natural. There are so many new brands out there, I'm slightly overwhelmed. I will be an experimenting fool once I'm fully natural.
 
I'm not sure if anyone else has spotted this but I know a few heads having been wondering if ORS would put their Hair Repair Nourishing Conditioner in a bottle...they listened! Just picked up the bottle at a BSS in the Bronx

I rinsed it out. Although I said that I wasn't going to overnight DC anymore, I really liked how my hair felt today. I might have to revisit that decision.

Do you mean rinsed it out or washed it out? I can't see any mentions on my IPhone. PM me if it is a must see. Allons y

If I do it again, I definitely won't pull the cap over my ears. In the past, my edges would be hard/rough whenever I left my ears out because the cap wasn't fully covering the area/the area would dry out.

Btw, I've been experimenting and may have found a way to keep my hair moisturized and soft(er). After I try it a couple more times, I'll update in the thread-that-I-can't-remember-right-now. Lol.

If you do try it again don't pull the conditioning cap over your ears. That's not necessary. And put a satin bonnet over the conditioning cap to help muffle the sound.

who doesn't. i don't care what design one you find, your always going to look like a old woman like back in the day heading to bed. the ones with the most decorations looks even more grandma ish to me. only thing i do to spice it up a bit is earrings. oh well, i won't stop wearing my scarfs or bonnets. scarfs are way more attractive but i mostly wear curls so bonnet it is.

I haven't washed my scalp/hair in a good number of days. I might be creeping up on a week. I keep forgetting to do it LOL!!! The good side of this is that my scalp issues are gone and in half the time as before!! Using SM Deep Cleansing Shampoo and stretching my washes were the best things for healing my scalp. :)

I do this too. I wear large, thin hoop earrings with my scarves so it looks like some kind of style. I keep them on until I have to shower/wash my face/go to bed.

Aww......... lisanaturally

I roller set my own hair and here are some tips:

- Is your hair super wet when roller setting?
- You can even wet your rollers just to be safe.
- Are you pulling your hair tautly onto the roller? That prevents poofy roots.
- Are you using the correct size rollers? I use gray and black.
- Your parts don't have to be perfect
- I find the Mohawk method of roller setting to be the best IMHO
- Are you spending the correct amount of time under the dryer? Some women can do 45 minutes. I cannot! I have a big head, thick hair and I need at least an hour and 50 minutes to get totally dry. :lol: Dang those ladies that can get away with less than an hour. :rolleyes:
- Have you looked at You Tube? They have a ton of awesome ladies that give great tips and techniques.

Well the actual problem was i trimmed too much off my ends 2 months ago so it came out looking too short which i don't like. When my hair was longer my rollersets were flawless. Now that my hair has grown a little bit and i placed the rollers only on the ends of my hair I'm hoping it turns out like in the past. Thanks for the advice though Lucie :yep:
 
I wish my hair would grow already. I want to reach waist length but it's not moving past MBL. I'm like 2-3 inches away and it just won't move! I'm happy summer is coming the growth spurt will do me some good.
 
I just went to my monthly wax and we were chatting. Her sister is a hair stylist and studied at Paul Mitchell. She told me the products in the salon (not the ones being sold) have a higher concentration of the "good" ingredients. She explained that this keeps the clients coming back because even if they buy the products at the salon they won't get the same result.

I don't know if I believe that. But wow if it's true.
 
shrinkage really annoys me. going from above the shoulder when curly and dry to couple of inches below BSL when straight is impressive but annoying. i'd love to be able to show the length of my hair more.

on another note, i love aloe juice. i haven't been using it for the past 2 months, but i got a new bottle and used some again yesterday morning, and my twists feel so soft and bouncy. i'm really pleased.

and i have hair products (replacement conditioners) coming from overseas with my boss. I can't wait!
