You could just keep gradually trimming until you get where you want to be. Prescribing to the Health before Length model.

I received my emu oil today so I made a mix to use on my scalp for massages. I'll use this mix exclusively for the next three months to see what happens. I must say that emu oil absorbs quickly into the skin so I can understand why it so good.

@curlyhersheygirl

I had a bottle or two before. It is excellent (and pricey) and absorbs upon contact.

Great Stuff.

@curlyhersheygirl

You are completely right. I was suppose to install braids over the weekend but got lazy. I'm going to take a break before I get scissor happy.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

My Honey Handmades shipped (Knot Going Bananas).

I will be using the Buttermilk Cleansing Conditioner next wash day.

@IDareT'sHair

Thanks hun. I probably just freaked out.

 

[curlyhersheygirl]

@IDareT'sHair
It is pricey that's why I opted to mix it with jojoba and JBCO.

My oyin shipped so that'll be it for awhile.

Don't be getting Scissor-Happy!

@curlyhersheygirl

It is pricey. I think I only had 4oz.

And of course I 'blew skrait through' my bottle. Another Poster had bought a Gallon and told me she would send me some (if I sent her an empty bottle).

I didn't, because it cost too much, even though I appreciated the gesture.

 

[curlyhersheygirl]

@IDareT'sHair
Did you notice any benefits?

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@curlyhersheygirl

Gurl....I only had 4 ounces. I've always wanted to reup.

Maybe following you will encourage me to repurchase.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

I'm using and enjoying: Hairitage Hydrations Sprout. That was always one of my Favs!

@curlyhersheygirl

What are you DC'ing with next?

I think I'll use Alikay Naturals Honey & Sage again on Wednesday.

@IDareT'sHair
This week I'll use either dope mixed with apple sorghum or APB's mud mask. Not sure yet.

@curlyhersheygirl
This sounds very interesting.

I should have experimented with my Apple Sorghum like that and mixed it with other stuff.

That was one product (I bought several times) that I just could not make work for me. Maybe if I woulda' mixed it, I woulda' felt differently about it.

@Beamodel, I agree with @curlyhersheygirl. Hide your hair for now, but keep it moisturized and pliable.

When was your last protein treatment?

@divachyk, I have a cart, but I'm waiting to see what happens with MLK/BHM/VD sales.

 

[MileHighDiva]

@curlyhersheygirl, I'm using emu oil w/o cutting it on my scalp to see if it will increase my hair density. It's supposed to reactivate dormant hair follicles.

I just received it this past week. So, it's too soon to report any findings.

 

[Beamodel]

Thanks @MileHighDiva @curlyhersheygirl @IDareT'sHair

Y'all talked me off the ledge. I'll continue to gradually cut my ends away over time

@MileHighDiva
I do protein treatments regularly. I just had one a week ago.

 

[divachyk]

@Beamodel, I want my hair braided but my braider (sister in law) is pregnant. I am unwilling to pay a grip to have it done so I'll just wait until she delivers and get back on her feet. Hide your hair through the winter and see what spring brings.

@MileHighDiva @curlyhersheygirl, I need to place an Amazon order for some other things. I may pick up some 100% emu vs. using the oil blend. The HTN growth oil has emu listed way down in the ingredients so I'm unsure how much emu I'm really getting. I've been eyeing emu for years but just never hit pay now b/c it's pricey. I know emu worked well for Seamonster (if yall remember her -- she use to post up in here several years ago).

 

[MileHighDiva]

@divachyk, you should order it, so we can compare notes. I bought mine from Jer Aki Naturals. Are you going to cut yours with another oil?

ETA: I miss Seamonster! It's good to hear that someone had success with it.

 

[divachyk]

I want to use it straight so I can get the full effect, unless my scalp can't handle it. My true desire for it is for my hubs because his crown has taken a beating from health stuff. I like to try stuff first and be a guinea pig before I get his hopes up. @MileHighDiva

 

[Brownie518]

Hey girls. Finished up another APB Pudding, still have several backups though.

I used that Olaplex #3 last night. Great results. My hair feels really good. Smooth, soft, and detangled easily. I'm hoping it will help with my shedding. I only left it on for 30 minutes.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@Brownie518
You shole did pick up that Olaplex fast! Keep me posted on your results.

So far, that's one bandwagon I haven't hopped on yet.

@divachyk

It's a milky-white very non-intrusive oil. (Virtually no scent, no oiliness...no nothing, absorbs great). Your scalp shouldn't have any problem using this.

He should be able to use it with no problem. I only had a 4oz bottle and it went super fast.

Too fast for me to really be able to report any significant results. Plus, I was using other things too.

 

[divachyk]

@IDareT'sHair, that's awesome to know. TY for the info. I purchased some emu oil last night. Keep you, @MileHighDiva & @curlyhersheygirl posted.

I used olaplex once. I saw a reduction in shed hair but knowing me, I won't be consistent in using it.

I bet I forget about it for this weekends wash. I probably should have just skipped buying it lol. I'm pathetic.

@Beamodel
No, You're Not.

I'm just glad I didn't buy it. (For Once)
