@Beamodel I typically do clarify first, then follow up with a protein treatment. This week I tried the Neutral Protein Filler with ORS Pak and initially my hair felt soft/strong but later on my new growth felt very dry so idk.

If I decide to straighten, I will look at those methods as a reference point, thank you. I don't need it to be bone straight, just straight enough where it's manageable.

It might be the ORS pak, I used that multiple times in the past and it always left my hair dry

 

[flyygirlll2]

@julzinha Yeah I thought about that too. I thought maybe the combo wasn't good for my hair. It did halt the breakage I had though. My hair hates hard protein since it's coarse to begin with. Light/medium is ok.

 

[divachyk]

@natura87 hope your fingers heals up quickly.

@flyygirlll2 I was all for protein on the relaxed hair only for the longest but always had some nagging breakage that wouldn't go away. Komaza told me to treat from root to tip and I've seen improvement.

Not sure if you ladies have already talked about this but I'm eyeing Bel Nouvo's deep quench moisture butter in red velvet & sweet potato. Has anyone tried them?

 

[natura87]

Thanks @divachyk.


I bought an Argan mask and conditioner at a SkinFood. They were on sale. Lord knows that I can not wash my hair but they looked nice and were pretty inexpensive.

I'm loving spray leave ins for my hair coupled with a cream leave in. I've found a few at Skinfood , Innisfree, Tony Moly and Etude house that are great.

 

[flyygirlll2]

Thanks @divachyk I guess the ORS was the culprit for the dryness. I'll just use the protein from Komaza for now.

Hi ladies! Sorry about your finger @natura87!

@Beamodel I have my blk friday APB cart ready, but thanks for the tip about the cookie crunch scent. Will definitely get that scent now. I love the scent of Vatika Frosting.

I just picked up some Silk Dreams. She's having a 20% off sale. Not expecting it to be here for a while, so aint holding my breath. I got 2 RCA, 2 Go Moist (love this shampoo), and 1 Almond Buttercream (never tried).

So yall, my hair is heat damaged. I did a flat iron two weeks ago and last week I washed and it wasn't the same. I mean it isn't straight and there are no straight pieces hanging down from naps and all this, but but my coils are slightly looser, so I can definitely tell a difference. It is not apparent when my hair is in twists though, so it doesn't affect my styling. It actually looks nice so I aint mad. I'm just going to let it grow out, as it will eventually. I cut two to three inches off my hair this year so I am still where I am in my avatar. Hopefully this year will be the year for midback.

@divachyk

I have not. But they sound good!

Every Bel Nouvo product I've tried has been really nice.

I may try it too and we can compare notes.

@divachyk @rileypak

I looked at Bel Nouvo site, specifically the Deep Moisture Butter and only saw the Vanilla?

Where did you see Red Velvet and Sweet Potato?

 

[rileypak]

@IDareT'sHair @divachyk
I was JUST about to ask about the other scents for the creme...for research.

@IDareT'sHair found it!

@Ltown

If you try it, please keep us posted.

@Beamodel , i probably won't do all of it except rising the temp. Today i did my usual tension blowdry using hand or denman brush. i flat iron using the same tension/chase method but i used old school ultra sheen satin creme press as my moisturizer.

@Ltown

How did it turned out?

 

[Ltown]

Y'all I hadn't washed my hair for 3 weeks until last night. I did an over night DC wish Bee Mine Beautiful (on accident) and today I did my silk press.

I'm telling you, this "journey" is so easy for me now since I've decided to continuously do these silk presses. No one even knows I'm 11mths post unless I tell them.

I was doing them every 2 weeks but I'm thinking every 3 weeks is suitable as well.

My hair is returning back to normal. The less I manipulate it, the healthier it is. I'm barely shedding too.

@Beamodel , how and what you use on your hair not to wash 3 weeks? i'm trying to reduce my washing to preserve my hair colors but i workout hard and my head itches if i don't wash it.

 

[Ltown]

@Ltown

How did it turned out?

@IDareT'sHair , my flat irons alwyas turn out great it just don't last because i workout 5 days a week. .

@Ltown

What's your secret to a successful blow-dry and Flat Iron.

 

[Ltown]

@Ltown

What's your secret to a successful blow-dry and Flat Iron.

@IDareT'sHair, tension and chase comb or brush during the blow dry and flatiron. i usually just use 375 degrees for flat iron and i swear for me the creme press.

@Ltown

I used Jakeala's flaxseed spray, APB refresher spray as bases each night. Used SSI cranberry cream and sealed with Jakeala's parfait or Sarenzo chocolate butter.

My scalp wasn't itchy either but I had used the silk element scalp treatment too. So maybe that helped me prolong my wash to three weeks.

I don't cowash either. I use shampoo (KeraCare hydrating detangling poo).

 

[Beamodel]

@Froreal3

Yes hunni sugar cookie crunch smells like Vatika frosting. That scent has bed. Placed on my top list for APB.

I'm sorry about your heat damage and having to cut your hair. I recently cut 3 inches off myself but my hair feels and look so much better.

 

[Froreal3]

@Beamodel I cut two inches prior to the heat damage, but cut another inch after it because I needed it, not necessarily because I am taking the heat damage off. My hair does look and feel better since trimming though!

The sugar cookie crunch is in my cart right now! lol I have nine items in there. So far for Blk Friday I want:


APB

2 Leave in sprays (clean cotton and sugar cookie crunch)
3 Oils (Pearberry, Sugar cookie crunch, clean cotton)
2 body buttas (sugar cookie crunch, clean cotton, pearberry)
1 hair lotion (sugar cookie crunch)
1 soy body massage candle (vanilla pound cake)

Komaza:
1 Bountiful Mane
3 Protein Treatments

Manetabolism 6 month supply

I already got the SD I wanted for Blk Friday. So unless she has another sale that's better that the recent 20% (which is the highest I've ever seen since her grand opening), I am done with SD for a minute.

I'm really feeling the strawberry lime oil from HQS. I love the scent.

Has anyone noticed that Camille rose has pulled out of Aveyou and Curlmart? I can't find the algae renew at either!

Also, Bel nouvo increased their prices by 2 dollars

 

[divachyk]

Thank you @rileypak! Sorry for the delay @IDareT'sHair but @rileypak hooked you up.

@myronnie

I just made a CR Cart on AveYou the other day?

http://www.aveyou.com/camillerose.aspx

Not happy about Bel Nouvo's price increase. Although I don't buy a lot from them.

 

[Beamodel]

@Froreal3

Nice list girly...

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Sorry for the delay but hooked you up.

@divachyk

I'd like to pick both of those up with a discount (of course)

@Beamodel

Do you have a BF list or are you skipping it altogether? Or have you decided?

 

[IDareT'sHair]

i flat iron using the same tension/chase method but i used old school ultra sheen satin creme press as my moisturizer.

@Ltown

I have this (Yellow & White Jar). I might try it with an electric pressing comb.

My Kj Naturals came. (Forgot what I ordered)

And I forget what else I'm waiting on? Siamese Twists?

 

[Brownie518]

Hey, ladies. I'm sneaking in some time while at work...shhhh!! Nothing going on for me. I did order some N'joi Creations - herbal hairdress, Shealoe, and that beloved Tea rinse. I was looking at all my stuff and I don't need much BF...maybe some HTN and I do want to try some of the new SSI stuff. I'm GOOD with everything else. I can cruise into 2016 with what I got.

Well...we'll see how good the sales are...
