Hit: APB...AGAIN Do I need to keep putting it every month? LOL... Protective Styling with Marleys...AGAIN
Click to expand...


Yes to this. I used the APB cookie dough leave in today and sealed with my mix of Ayurvedic oils with a few drops of grape seed oil and my severely under processed hair feels good.
 
hit: Pantene color preserve cleansing conditioner (gives wen a run for the money)
my oil mix (coconut, evoo,jojoba,castor oil, jbco, and sweet almond oil) for daily sealing and pre shampoo oil treatment
natures blessing hair grease/pomade for sealing after washing/cowashing
my shea butter cream (naptural85 recipe)
aloe vera juice/water for daily refresher/moisturizer
aussie moist and aussie 3 minute miracle

miss: rollersetting my newly natural hair, can you say frizz city!
carol's daughter hair milk cleansing conditioner (no slip whatsoever)
leaving conditioner in my hair (took way too long to dry)

Next time I blow dry....I got chu'. Girlllll divachyk got me with her new beautiful PERFECT U. When I seen it, I called my old stylist and asked her to trim it for me. When I got there she nearly cried. Homie thought I was bald because I hadn't seen her in so long :rolleyes:.

Girl, you better work those fresh ends! I cowashed my hair tonight which I rarely do and my hair was so manageable. :yep: EnExitStageLeft
 
Hits:
APB Hair Creme
APB Cherry Bling
*applied it to dry hair for 30 mins, rinsed, applied more for a co-wash :lick:
Tension Blow Drying (cool air)
 
Hit:
Donna Marie Super Detangling Conditioner
This is perfect for detangling! I've been trying to find something that detangles my hair easily for almost a year and I finally found it. I had a bad knot at the end of my hair and I decided to go try the DM Conditioner. I put a small amount on the knot and worked it in. I wasn't expecting much..but the knot literally fell apart easily!! I was shocked!! This is on my staple list now :) I tried alot of stuff (Claudie's Mango, Shescentit Avocado, Elucence Moisture balance conditioner, Camille Rose Fresh Curl, The Pomade Shop Coffee Conditioner) and nothing gave me enough slip to quickly dry detangle my hair. I'm happy!!

Hit:
Camden Grey, Lotioncrafter, Wholesale Supplies Plus shipping
All of the stuff I ordered will be here by Friday!! Fast shipping
 
Marie Dean Shea nilotica butter in essentially peach.
This butter is super super whipped. I was schooled to see it at first, as it was supposed to be pure Shea butter with nothing mixed but the fragrance. Now I love it. It is smooth, and goes on so well. It keeps my hair soft and gives it great shine. Well pure Shea butter does that to me anyways, but the texture and the smell of this has kept me from using any of my other butters in a few days.
Marie Dean babassu shea nilotica butter in mango something. His smells good too with the same texture. But the oil keeps separating. I have to keep mixing it in. Thank god the texture is that of a thick conditioner and I can just used my finger to mix it back together. I will stick to the original and maybe just add a spoon of grapeseed oil to it.
Possible hit: adding cassia to my protein prepoo conditioner. I don't know yet, but I think I'm living this. Will report back. I need all the strength I can get before putting my hair in twists.
I went for my consultation with my braider on Friday, and she says that the back of my hair was very fine. After I told her I have not done a recent hard core protein, she suggested I do that first, then another moisture treatment before I put my hair away. So I had some cassia powder laying around and decided to throw it in the mix. Now I want to try it again for a few more weeks.

I really gotta try that marie dean shea butter. Sounds wonderful
 
Continued Hits:

Anabelle's Perfect Blends

Avocado butter/oil

Newest Hit:

Babassu oil
 
Continued Hits:

Nexus humectant: shampoo AND condish TOGETHER. Such a great combo.

Fekkai shea butter condish.: great leave in and Co wash.

Grapeseed, sulfur, and red palm oil mix: it will stain, so use palm oil sparingly.
 
sexupebbly it is really nice. I chose medium strength for my scents. They are strong when you just open the jar, but perfect after application. Got lots of compliments on how good I was smelling. If you try them please let me know what you think.
 
Y'all been sleeping on this stuff :lachen:


http://www.drugstore.com/products/prod.asp?pid=512454&catid=186696&aid=338666&aparam=512454

I've been using it for a good month now and lawd it's my holy grail when I want no frizz, no reversion. Strictly for blow dry and/or flatiron - not sure I'd want to use the hot comb with it. Could probably get some great twists/twist outs with it, it's something I'm going to try this summer. Says 3 day humidity proof but I've been getting 1-2 weeks worth. Definitely NOT cone-free for you curly girls.

Cheap - under $4.00 at Wally World but can find anywhere I'm sure.

HIT HIT HIT oh did I say HIT - better check it out. Nothing to lose but 4 bucks!

I've been eyeing those products.
 
HUGE HIT

Hairveda Methi Tea Set
OMG - I see why folks were raving about HV Methi Tea. This stuff dramatically decreased my shedding with one application.

This is amazing... My hair DOES NOT like black tea not aloe vera however, my hair accepted this product extremely well.

I lost maybe 7 hairs compared to about 50+ hairs while wet detangling. So far, this is a definite keeper...
 
Hit- Silk Dreams Shea What! At first I was scared I caused a set back because this conditioner is soooo thick and the slip/spreadability is zero to none! My strands stuck together as I was sectioning and applying which they don't normally do and it felt rough. Applied two caps and my hat and 1-2hours later my hair feels the perfect balance of soft and strong! Easy to detangle and accepting moisture very well. I love it. My HG line! Still need to give the WGBC a fair shot but I've been obsessed with APB but that review is next.
Continued hits: HV moist 24/7 and SSI Carrot and Pumpkin defrizzer

Beamodel my hair hates aloe too, so I have always avoided this product. Now you have me tempted. That is some amazing results.
Did you use both products as directed or did you follow with your own moisture DC?

I used it as directed. I used step 1 & 2 however I did follow up step 2 with Sitrinillah as well. I basically I did 3 steps.

My hair hates aloe & black tea. It dries it out and tangles it up so bad but this one was the exact opposite.

I barely lost any hair in the detangling process - which is what I was hoping for. I applied all steps to my hair relaxer style.

:yep: Sounds awesome! I think I am going to have to try it. Would you be able to compare it with CJ Repair Me?
 
Continued Hits: Giovanni Nutrafix as a DC and Giovanni Smooth as Silk Conditioner for everything else (moisturizer, styler, detangler)!

My super-fine, 4a, creeping up on Bra-strap hair feels very full, thick and lush. I think it's the protein in both products and my fine hair needs all the strength it can get!

I love my texture but this Fine Haired Struggle is REAL, ya'll!

I can't describe it but it feels like I have A LOT of hair!

I'm simplifying my regimen and using these two products along with Trader Joe's Tingle Treat for co-washing, glycerin for added moisture, AVG juice and distilled water after DCing to lower pH and organic palm oil for sealing.

I feel like I can surpass Bra-strap length by the end of 2014 (Lord willin'!)
