That's some good stuff! I've always wondered about CD Monoi line too. When are you going to use the wrap lotion??

I might try it for my Twistout to get some better hold. I used to use Lottabody and PM Foam but that was too we and too stiff. I'll probably relax this weekend because I'm beginning to look like one of the HairBearBunch! May try EnExitStageLeft pony roller set. God knows I didn't just become a PJ.

I've used the wrap foam on a braidout once and it came out really nice and defined. I think you'll be happy.

Okay...since y'all insisted that I needed some SD and Nairobi in my life...and y'all know who you are...I got my SD yesterday and now my PJ collection is complete. Here's my review:

Nairobi Humecta sil: Love, Love, Love!
SD Go Moist poo: Love the scent, kinda watery, hair felt nice
SD Wheat Germ Condish: Ho hum, not really a fan, I'll use it up but probably won't buy again
SD Nourish Oil, Raspberry-lemonade: Love the scent, love the feel, definitely a keeper
SD Mocha Silk Infusion: Love the scent but I haven't used it yet
Nairobi Wrap Lotion: Haven't used it yet
Carol's Daughter Monoi collection: Love everything about this stuff...bought the samples while I was waiting for Silk Dreams and have already ordered full sizes-great prices on Amazon

Cattypus1 that's how I felt about the Go Moist. A little too watery for my taste.

Very luscious bun @divachyk:yep: Was it done with a banana clip?

@Nix08, a form of a banana clip. I used a u-shape banana clip vs. a traditional size banana shaped clip. I have a pic posted on my blog. I don't believe I can provide you the link directly in a post but the location to my blog is located in my siggy. (I really should read the forum rules on self-promoting the blog so I don't make the band and go missing for a while).

Thank you and everyone for the compliments.

I used it as a condish, after my shampoo. Covered with plastic bag and watched tv for about 40 minutes. Any particular reason why you don't use it as a condish?

i use it as a rinse out conditioner or a leave-in. i don't really use it to moisturize with. i use the Vanilla Silk for a deep conditioner.

I saw that everyone else was using it as a moisturizing leave in, so I followed suite. I should probably use it once as a rinse out to see how it performs in that capacity. If I do, I'll let you know the results.

Okay, so you know how I was stretching to 16 weeks (July 31)...well...my stretch has ended 3 weeks early. I just couldn't wait, my NG and I have been in an epic battle and I lost. She wrestled me to the ground and refused to let me up until I agreed not to let her suffer any longer. I had TWO inches of NG. I know this because of the problem I had with my nape where I lost a bunch of hair after my last TU. The hair back there was gone, no relaxed hair left. It's 2+ inches long now. I've got my heat cap on with my post relaxer condish, usually PC but I had to mix in a little humecta Sil, I love that stuff, the scent-yummy! My first Linange Texturizer.

Girl you know in stretching relaxers beyond 12 weeks our decision to relax could happen over night because all it takes is a bad detangling session to send us over the edge.

We're like credit unions in that once a member, always a member and in our case, once a buddy, always a buddy.

Two inches is a lot of growth in 3+ months, I would be jumping for joy!! Good job chicka!!!

This is so sweet and I'm looking forward to this wonderful journey and getting to know you to and the rest of us too.

..girl you know you couldn't just lurk around here. Going from being an active member back to lurking is like willingly going from rich back to poor. It would kill you or send you into a deep depression at the least. That $6-7 dollars has been the best use of my money PERIOD.

You guys are my cyber BFF's!! **BIG HUGS***

So true about lurking...I just renewed for another 2 years:yep: I'd be so out of the loop of 'life' if I didn't have LHCF from hair to health to entertainment and beyond:yep:

i'm glad you like the texturizer! i wanted to try Linage until i got hooked on Nairobi relaxer. my hair was evenly relaxed, but i still have texture and it is easier to comb. i still have to separate my hair with my fingers first. when you post your results, can you explain what you like about the texturizer?

glad you are sticking around! you have a lot of good input on products and you are funny!

Glad you renewed:) I'd miss having ya around. Who else is going to be our Nairobi guru?

There ain't no way I'm leaving. Ya'll stuck with me! (at least until I get to WL- so you know that's another 4 years)! My goal is TWA to WL in 5 years.
 
klsjackson Mande30 hey ladies!! I have recently incorporated a few new products in my regimen and I am in love! Why haven't I used these products before!! They are chi silk infusion and the Neutrogena triple moisture silken touch leave in cream...I have seen these two products all over the hair boards and YouTube but I've never tried them....I have been doing my hair an injustice..I use the Neutrogena as a lightweight moisturizer because depending on what I'm doing with my hair (which isn't much) sometimes the olive oil and mango butter is a little too heavy. Anyway, how are you ladies doing? Still relaxing in August?
