That masque felt the same way when I used it when it first came out.

I only tried the High Porosity Masque thanks to a review in March hits and misses. Otherwise I would have just been curious. Shea Moisture Masque usually leaving me feeling empty inside and with straw for hair as well. This is the only masque they have that had ever worked for me.

My hair hated that product too. I think I read where someone added extra honey and that made allegations the difference.

Thanks. Im done with that line.
 
The only masques that ever worked for me as a deep conditioner is the Purification masque, and the High porosity. The Yucca & Plantain worked great as a prepoo.

I just bought the superfruit complex one because thats getting good raves but the rest of the DCs are too high in shea butter or coconut oil. The newer ones arent geared for anything I'd use so I know I wont try those.

They changed the purification masque so I doubt I'll be buying that one any more. The leave in for low porosity, and the souffle is great under a hard gel. Those are the two items I'd buy on the regular.
 
Now I am evaluating moisturizers...

CRN Curlaide vs. SSI Marshmallow hair cream.
The SSI has more water in it then the CRN.

I was considering relaxing again myself. I thought about it long and hard and determined that I prefer my hair curly but I was struggling with detangling. Have you thought about the third option of Chi smoothing or some other type of straightening system? I settled on Chi because I believe it does minimal if any damage to the hair. Relaxer is off the table for me.

I bought a xl 30x30 scarf to pineapple. Tried it out tonight and that joker is too small. Last few inches of my hair are just hanging out.

I need a satin loc soc.

I've got plenty from soclocsoc.com and am eyeing more shades/patterns. Someone told me you can get them cheaper at loc/hair shows if a vendor is selling them.
 
Had to give my bestie major side eye today. She said "I don't why you trying to wear your hair out. Black hair and rain don't mix." Excuse you boo boo. Speak for yourself. Water is my hair's best friend. If my umbrella fails me I'll simply shake and scrunch and keep it moving like I always do when I get caught in the rain. :look:

It's been raining all day here, not once have I pulled out an umbrella. Idk what she's talking about, my hair loves it
 
I'm going back to my four year old newly natural routine for a while. Cowshes and a mix of two strand twists and wash n goes for style. Deep condition twice a week is my goal as well.

I feel like when I first went natural my hair thrived with constant moisture and low manipulation styling.

I want to try a wash n go with the Camille Rose curl maker this weekend but I need to get a new diffuser first.
 
Just interviewed this 13 year old girl(I do custody stuff) and she came in with a hoodie and dark glasses on. We start talking and as she loosens up, she takes off her glasses. I noticed under the hoodie one fairly long braid framing her face. I asked if I could see her hair and yall when she pulled that hoodie back, she had a braid as thick and long as a rope in the back. She started cheesing all hard when I started gushing about her beautiful natural hair. She said she wants to cut it all off because she cant care for it. I told her I could refer her to some good stylists I know who would take good care of her natural hair(since she is overwhelmed by it and her mother is deceased) but she's afraid because she's tender headed. I told her to call me anytime and I would make sure she was treated gently. She was beaming when our interview was done. When I say this child had some gorgeous crop, all thick and wooly(she kept calling it nappy and I kept redirecting), she had some gorgeous hair. She said when she's had it straightened, it's beyond her mid back. I hope she reconsiders...I can tell having her hair done would do wonders for her self esteem.
 
I love how carefree my job is about natural hair. Everybody has been gushing over my hair today (the style and the color) and one of the managers (my favorite) threatened to beat me if I showed up to work with a bun again. I wish every job and manager was this carefree. I cringe at some of the horror stories I read when it comes to natural hair in the workplace.
 
I'm starting to dislike holidays. People don't seem to understand "Don't touch my hair". I'm so sick of ducking, dodging and popping hands every single time I see my family. :brucelee:You're an adult, how hard is it to grasp the concept of keeping your hands to yourself. I might just spend Easter in the house with some Starburst jelly beans, a pizza and Netflix. I'm not trying to end up in jail.:handslap:
 
You blow off an appointment that was made a number of weeks ago at the eleventh hour in order to chase bunny rabbits and eggs, then have the nerve to ask if you can reschedule it for next week. I felt enormous pleasure proffering a polite "No, thank you; there's no need. Have a good day" before hanging up the phone. It may not be the SL I was hoping for, but the APL that I did myself looks and feels really, really good.
 
Everyone and their mama told me not to cut my hair, the lady I went to didn't even want to do it. I was adamant about it though and now I regret it soon much :cry3:

I'll never tell anyone in real life though lol. I act like I'm not bothered at all that all my damn hair is gone but dammit man. At least I know not to do that ish again. Now, I gotta remember all the stuff I took to grow it out. :drunk:
 
Same struggle, new weekend...

Really happy about tearing myself from watching X-files on my sofa to wash, green tea rinse, and "deep condition" my hair. I sooooo didn't want to do it, but long Sunday wash days are zero fun. Now half the battle's won.
