NaturallyCurly Curltalk forum used to be like that @PlanetCybertron

A lot of the looser hair types used products for Type 4s, which is why Sheamoisture is so big. NC used to be popping. I learned a lot about my hair on there and Nappturality. NC lost its cool when they started monitoring our posts OD .

Nappturality and NC spawned a lot of hair care lines.

I met a lot of company owners on both sites ( meet and greets, sponsorships, blogging, product giveaways)


Curly nikki forum was good too but died down after awhile.

CN killed their own forum after they switched forum software and wouldn't update the app. Both were awful to use after that. I still talk to handful of people thanks to IG and other messaging apps at least.

When I first went to Evan Joseph Salon, that's the only thing Cheyenne used to style me. Course it was perfect. I've tried it on my own and it doesn't turn out as defined. Soft. Moisturized. But not enough definition for me.

You went to the Evan Joseph salon? I’m so jealous. I would LOVE for him to cut my hair. He is so detailed. I’m constantly stalking him and Cheyenne on Instagram.

Do you follow his no oils/butters philosophy?

Yup. For about a year now. Cheyenne is my stylist. I just was in there last Wednesday. Lol. Cool people. Very nice salon too. I do follow their no oils/butters philosophy.

Have you noticed a big difference in the moisture level of your hair since you started going?

I have. I don't think oil worked for me. Hot oil rinses made my hair hard. It wasn't all silky and smooth afterwards. I used to put oil on my scalp at my nape because I had a spot that was broken off. When I cut out oiling that area, hair grew back.

Butters for wng are too thick for me.

Now I will say I'll use a twisting souffle, which is pretty close to a butter consistency, for flat twists for a twist out. That's because I'm need something thick to hold the strands together and I don't necessarily want more moisture to get in my hair so my twist out is poofy.

So for me, cutting out oils and butters (mostly) work. I know there pllennttyy of people who use both and out here looking like Repunzel.

So while I know their comments get hostile because people don't agree with them, they do seem to keep their opinions on their own pages.
 
Botox Capilar recipe

Going to risk it. For years, I've been looking for something to "texlax" the hair that is not ammonium-based nor any of the hydroxide-based relaxers. BKT has been it for about 3 years but I'm not very consistent with it. I order my product directly from Brazil. I'm tired of the straight and no curls. I just want something that wears off every month or two and gently loosens curls but eases me into straight when I want it. And being that I'm tired of waiting 2-3 weeks to get product from Brazil (with the excess shipping cost, nevermind that we pay 3 to 4 times the price for product anyway), I'm going to make my own "Botox capilar" and found a recipe online. So, for all you mixologists who have access to wholesale supplies and whatnot, here's a recipe. Please do your research on how lactic acid affects the hair strand:

Yes, it's in Spanish but just copy and paste into Google Translate. And here is a video on how to "loosen curls" without destroying the pattern and give them a lot of body.

After checking my hair, I decided that I was getting too comfortable with sleeping on my satin pillowcase with no head covering. I wear headwraps in the day time, that’s why I didn’t cover my hair. However, the back of my head has been feeling a little weird so I just put in 4 ponytails and threw on a bonnet, but pushed it back cause I hate it on my edges unless there’s a scarf underneath.

Speaking of ponytail holders, I LOVE the fat ones. All I do is wrap it around once and thassit. It’s marvelous. I was trying to find some solid black ones, but all Dollar Tree has is the multi colored ones. Luckily, my local beauty supply sells them. Also, I should never need another ponytail holders as long as I live. :lachen:

But seriously, I have a little box filled to the brim with ponytail holders and other hair accessories. I bet not lose any of them lol
