Hi, this is a Challenge. Are you joining?

 

[DoDo]

Moisturized twists with APB leave in spray, creme, and sealed ends with the hair and body butta.

Repeated this last night and the night before .

Will repeat for this evening as well .

I keep forgetting how good my hair feels when I moisturize and seal daily with no exceptions. I am going to keep on going with this .

ETA: I paid special attention to my edges as I feel like I have been neglecting them. I also am practicing cornrowing so I have been cornrowing my twists down after moisturizing. I think I am slowly getting better at cornrowing .

@Bibliophile @krikit96

Welcome Ladies thanks for joining us in our last 6 months of the Challenge.

We're glad to have you both.

Welllllll,

Last night I used hawaiian silky 14n1 to moisturize
I applied jbco to my scalp and coconut oil to my hair...
I also used the as I am double butter cream...

My bantu knots have definition for the most part, but I'm touching my hair and it feels kinda hard... I'm gonna hafta reevaluate what I used... also, and as I should have expected all though I dont like it, everything I touch is shiny and greasy like my hands... because I keep touching my hair... erplexed

 

[Bibliophile]

Misted hair with Aphogee KGT Reconstructor+Fairy Tales Rosemary Repel conditioner mix.
Oiled hair & scalp with Darbur Vatika+Majabhrinraj oil mix.
Applied Darcy's Botanicals Pumpkin Seed moisturizing conditioner to length. Heavy sealed last 4 inches with Tropic Isle JBCO Hair Food.

HAIR STATS: I have natural, dense, coarse, low-porosity/high shrinkage (waist to above shoulder) 4B hair. Live in a high dewpoint & humidity climate with hard (google "karst or sink") water. Lost some density due to illness & treatment. The current strands protein-sensitive. My new strands are not & like to web among the old hair.
I can use protein sprays without overloading my hair. The ceramides + herbs detangle, condition,protect against UV damage & prevent protein loss.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Used my: MN/Mega-Tek Mix (on scalp) and Pure Pumpkin Seed Oil (on length)

 

[Froreal3]

Used Soultanicals Mango Dip to moisturize, Keravada Fenugreek to seal and some Soultanicals Knot Butter to twist.

OT: What kind of books do you read and/or collect?

OT: What kind of books do you read and/or collect?

I'm drawn to rarities- fairy tales in their original form (check out Sir Richard Burton's "The Arabian Nights"- not for kids); ancient cookbooks (Apicius); little known pieces of history of people of color (Mrs.Henrietta Lacks & Ghanian King Peggy); books on Ayurveda, herbal medicine & natural skin/haircare.
In college I actually got to hold & read an early edition of Phyllis Wheatley's book of poetry. Had to wear white cotton gloves & everything!
My favorite author is C.S Lewis. His "On Christianity" is the most eloquent, humble & respectful explanation of the faith I've ever read.
I grew up on the PBS show "Reading Rainbow" If I ever meet Lavar Burton I'll sqeee like a teenage Justin Bieber fan. :-D
Don't want to hijack the thread...PM me for more. I can type about books all day.

With my "new" regimen of stretching my hair with twists I throughly soak my hair with Kinky Curly Knot Today and Curling Custard. Once I take my twists down every night I lightly spritz the air around me with water, apply coconut oil, Entwine Butter Cream, and BASK Sevenfold on my length.

I'm almost finished with the BASK, but I have an 8 oz SSI Seyani Butter that will take months to finish, I'm sure.
