Mande30 SunySydeofLyfe, we visit B'ham once a year for motorcycle races held in Leeds at Barber Motorsport Park.
By chance are either of you motorcycle enthusiasts and attend the races?

divachyk I have never been to the races. I knew about the Indy care races out there, but I did not know that they had motorcycle races. Do you ride? I have always thought it was so cool to see a woman handling a bike.....always wanted to try it.

Hey buddies...
2 Min + Cellophane + Humecta-Sil = Protein Overload!
I did a poo wash, in shower Aphogee 2 Min, Stoken Gold Clear Cellophane mixed with Nairobi Humecta-Sil DC for 40 minutes under heat, rinsed and hair felt amazing. Rollerset and sealed, wrapped and went to bed. Next morning hair was dry and rough. Last time I used that cellophane I had similar results, so it could be that brand doesn't work for my hair. Either way, my hair felt gross.
Last night I moisturized with PBN Cupuacu Butter and flexi set it dry. Took down today and hair feels a little better; just slightly on the greasy side. Will bun until I wash this weekend. (Got my shipping notifications for HQS and SSI, so you know I'm gonna go to werk!)

Oooh new products will be just the thing to help you get over your protein overload
Funnily, I was on the verge of protein overload too....I was trying Aubrey Organics Volumizing Camomille conditioner as a leave in and it felt great for a while but after a few days not so much.I guess that's the thing with stretching...you almost get bored and look to spice things up....but watch out
DominicanBrazilian82 what leave in or moisturizer do you use? Does it have protein too...if so just watch that it does cause more issues.

DominicanBrazilian82 glad you caught that protein overload and are working to reverse it. I'm always afraid of overdoing it with protein.
I'm on a bunning routine 99% of the time until we relax in September.

I think my stylist used this on me too. Is it the one that feels super cool on the scalp and feels like its awakening every nerve on the scalp?? If so, then yes, that one takes the number 2 spot!
ETA: I just looked up the description of stimu-sil and YES, this is it!! I hate to do this to y'll but this stuff right here had me shedding tears of joy while it was on my scalp/hair. AMAZING!

@Mande30, yes girl, we attend professional races in Birmingham every year. It's only 2 or 3 women that race but it's cool to watch. Yes, I ride a motorcyle - sportbike. I holds it down for the ladies! You should try it out BUT make sure you do it the right way. Take the motorcycle rider course so you can know all the ins/outs of riding.
@DominicanBrazilian82, sorry about the protein overload. That's always an absolute drag. Something I battle often because my hair absolutely rejects protein. If you recall, last TU I was protein overloaded and used salt in the conditioner trick. That works wonders. Keep that tip in your back pocket in the event your hair doesn't continue to soften up on its own. Cowashing helps restore moisture but my hair was so far gone this last time that excessive cowashing, baggying and DCing didn't help one bit.

Hey Buddies...1 week post...first time using Linange Texturizer, 0 breakage, 0 shedding feels strong and soft. Still a little too straight for what I'm after. I really want the texture. Anyway, I didn't shave my head and after my trim I shampooed and was dying to try SD Mocha...that stuff smells sinful, I love it. I finished with my Wen Remoist and I tried another strawset. This is day 2...

So cute! cant stand you and that straw set....i want one hmph!
Thanks, ladies. It took me about an hour and a half. Good news is that it takes about that same time to air dry--no way I could sleep in the straws! I look like an alien and my DH got a good laugh when I cam out of the bathroom...LOL. If I have about 3hours to kill I can get it done remove the straws and go to bed at a decent hour.

divachyk So far I've only really been moisturizing. My hair is back tho!!! So I'm definitely happy about that. It wasn't extreme overload; slight breakage, but nothing too drastic. I plan to do a steam treatment tonight with one of my new conditioners. Will update...

Hey buddies I have been rocking bantu knot outs and I love this hairstyle! It is my favorite protective hairstyle. Twistouts and Braidouts don't work for me but these little knots are awesome. I wish I could load a picture. I'm going to try to do that this weekend. I noticed that the summer is not really agreeing with my hair or that its really hot and I'm not doing what I am supposed to be doing to keep my hair from feeling dry... its hot and its making me lazy. But I need my hair to grow. I've also been using more heat than usual because my hair is at that crazy length where either you want to cut it or hide it and I want to wear it out! But starting today it will either be rollerset, bantu knots, or an emergency phony pony! Lol! How you ladies doing?
