i tried it but it wasnt what i was expecting. the good part is that my hair was very very clean and my hair didnt get as hard as it usually does after washing. it burned my skin like heck though. i will mix it with my shampoo but i wont apply it the same way i did before
 
Hey Napp, what did u put in your BS mix? I'm going to try it later and post my results. My hair may come out different. I'm 11 weeks post.:rolleyes:
 
My BS mix was HH hello hydration and water mixed in. I made it too watery, but it worked great for me. My hair was very strait afterwards instead of the curly frizz I usually have. I left it on for 10 minutes and rinsed out.For the first time in a long time, my hair was cooperative when I wrapped it. I love it! I give it 2 thumbs up!:yep:

Wow! That sounds great. I wonder will it make a press last longer?????????
 
I dunno but it helped my curls to relax a bit. It just laid them down a bit more.:rolleyes: I didn't need heat or rollers to get a smooth wrap and that is a first for me.

I tried something different over the weekend. I added 1T BS to some of my prepoo (crisco, coconut, castor oil). Applied to nappy roots. Apply rest of pp sans BS to rest of hair. Wrapped it up, went to bed. Washed it out with BS (twice) and my hair feels GLORIOUS.
 
I tried the baking soda mix this weekend. I mixed about 2 tbsp of baking soda, 1 tbsp of rhassoul clay, about 1/3 cup of Herbal Essences Long Term Relationship conditioner and a little water to make it a pudding-like consistency. I smoothed on my dry dirty hair and left it on for about an hour with a plastic cap.

My hair loved this! It felt smooth, conditioned and clean. It even stretched my hair a bit (but then I tried the coconut and lime stuff and it made it shrink back up:ohwell:). This is definitely a keeper:yep:

:yahoo: So happy for you. I used BS as a wash this weekend. I'm def gonna keep it my regime. I tried to coconut and lime stuff and it didn't work for me either.:ohwell:
 
I just tired the Baking Soda in my shampoo and also mixed some in water as a rinse. My hair also loves it. My hair was soooooo soft. It looks like a nice wash and go. Ringlets all over my head. It did stretch my hair some. This is a keeper for me too. BTW, I am all natural 3c,4a.

How often can I use it?
 
I'm glad I read this thread first because I was going to post my *accidental* results using bs and conditioner....

I mixed 2 heaping teaspoons of bs into 1/2 cup (approximately 3oz) of conditioner (I used Trader Joes citrus conditioner)....I meant to just work it in then rinse out but I had to run to the post office to pick up a package so I put on a conditioning cap and covered that with a stylish hat and ran out of the house. By time I got back I was nervous because I wasn't sure how my hair would react to my baking soda/conditioner mix being left on my hair so long (approx 30 to 45 min).....ladies let me tell ya when I rinsed my hair OMG it was NEWBORN BABY SOFT I kid you not :yep: and it STILL felt that way even after it dried!!! :drool: I don't know how often I can *safely* do this (aiming for twice a month) but it's definitely a STAPLE!!!! :love:
 
the coconut n lime thing doesn't work for me but the baking soda does! My hair is too strait for my twists now so I have 2 rollerset it.:perplexed This has never happened before.:look: I like it! No hair shed either. I think my hair feels more moisturized. I got my regimen almost complete.:yep:
 
OK,
I have a question...before I try this on my daughters hair.
My daughter is trying to prevent major shrinkage. Is the BS - condish mixture giving a looser curl or just softening the hair?
Please let me know. Trying to keep her from relaxing again.

Thanks Ladies!

BOTH!!! :yep::up:
 
tonight is a wash night. . . i might just have to. . . ladies ya'll are REALLY getting to me. . . JUST YESTERDAY ALONE, I BOUGHT MTG AND NTM leave-in. soooooooo excited to get home and play with my new toys. :grin:
 
ok, i tried this last night. I used 1 Tbsp baking soda, 1 Tbsp seaweed powder (i had to use it, it's been sitting here for a while), 3 TBSP coconut oil and 3-4 Tbsp aloe vera gel (the kind for drinking). I warmed it up a bit in the microwave and put it on with and applicator brush since it was more liquid like. I left it on overnight and rinsed really well this morning.

my hair feels fabulous! The curls are a teeny bit looser but it feels really soft and was easy to detangle which is saying a lot for me. If this keeps on working this well, i won't have to go back to chemicals.

RZILYNT did you try it? What were your results?

Well..... It softened her hair and made her curls more like waves.
She said she felt it was more poofy than what she hoped for. But it does work. She has tight springy coils and are usually resistant to anything.

So she just put on her other products, ( the Kinky Curly line) and they curled back up.

She says that she will try this again when she gets more length then maybe her cursl will 'hang'.

I really wanted to be home when she did it, but she could not wait for me.
But this is a keeper. I may try this if I get the nerve to transition,

Thanks so much for this tip!:yep:

Re: New way to texturize? my theory.UPDATE

When I got home this evening............
Vola, My daughter has hanging spirals:spinning:. She so loves her hurr today.

She did her normal routine in the shower and applied her products.

hmmmm ...I wonder if the baking soda/condish mixture being rinsed only still was working on breaking down the curls some since yesterday.

But what ever, she will be asked a gazzillion questions on her new look.

Now because she wants bigger hair she is in my Ovation/Megatek stash.

Thank you all !!!!:yep:
