sunnieb, you're the only one I know that can be lazy and your hair not suffer which is excellent! Make sure you get on it before any hiccups happen. As for me, not much. I've started doing a 2x a week regimen and my hair is really liking the continued hydration. Allowing water to hit it only once weekly just isn't enough. As a result, I'm learning patience and I'm finger detangling more to reduce the manipulation associated with doing a regi 2x.

Still hanging in there with this transition. I simply need to make up my mind that I'm gonna do this - and this time go all the way!!! 8 months post and counting...last relaxer was December 21st, 2013. I'm learning more and more about my natural hair, so I think this time will be the winner.:grin::grin:

Love watching you ladies from the sidelines. Your hair and your progress is stunning!! Keep up the good work and hang in there. Hair Goals are just around the corner. :yep::yep:
 
Hey @baddison! :hiya:

Soooo, I'm finally doing a dc tonight (Motions CPR). I put way too much honey in the mix! I have my plastic cap on, and it's still dripping! I refuse to rinse it though. I just wrapped a towel around my neck and gonna riiiiidde it out for another 20 minutes.....:yep:
 
Buds, I recently had a Komaza hair analysis (posted deets on my blog) and it was eye opening. I debated some of the things they recommended but things are going well since incorporating them. More protein. Less product. More shampooing. Why did I wait so long to do this --
 
Regular dc's are exactly what my hair needed!

Been having good hair days since I got back on track. :yep:

Hey my friend....hush yo mouf :giggle: but yeah, you did. I used ORS replenishing this past wash day and think that's a better option for weekly use. I will continue to search for that perfect protein product though.

The recommendations from Komaza really improved the condition of my hair. I was not using enough protein. Now I use a light protein weekly and do a medium protein treatment every 4 weeks and my hair has been thriving. Weekly I use the Aphogee 2 Min Reconstructor. I also have the Matani line from Komaza. For my medium protein I use the Komaza Care Protein Strengthener.

Just be careful with the ors. Its pretty strong. I bought a bottle to try. Start looking for a light protein as well.
 
Rozlewis, do you use it on dry or wet hair? That's my next protein to use. I haven't used it in a very long time. I can't remember the results.

Saludable84, Komaza told me AO GPB is gentler than ORS but my hair seems to feel the opposite. I'm still not in love with my protein choices. I'm still on the search. I have some handmades in my stash that I will also try.

Which handmades?

I didn't care for komaza. It was good, but I needed to do to much.

SSI Okra was excellent.

Silk Dreams Mocha Silk Infusion is excellent as well.

I bought ORS and will do a post in why I purchased it.

Aphogee 2 minute made my hair break. Sounds stupid but it did.

I purchase AO GPB once but could not find myself using it.

Redken was too heavy.

Millcreek Botanicals Keratin is good when I use it once every 4-6 weeks.
 
I was on a protein hunt as well. I used to use aphogee 2 minute but started trying other stuff. SSI Okra left my hair feeling stripped for some odd reason. I use lee stafford hair breaking treatment and hair growth treatment mixed and LOVE it!

I use motions. I recommend deep conditioning after protein too. I can use sohogee two min. Keyboard does work well sorry for typos.

I use the Aphogee 2 Min Reconstructor on wet hair. After I shampoo I apply the Aphogee from the ends to the roots of my hair. I slather on a lot at the ends since they are generally the weakest. I leave iron for 3 minutes under a plastic cap. I rinse it off and then apply my coffee and DC. Works like a charm on me.

I have not used the Matani in a long time. I try to us one product until it is gone before opening another one.
 
Thanks Rozlewis. I looked up the ingredients and it has a number of proteins, more than I remember. I just might pass.

Saludable84 SSI Okra, SSI Banana Brulee, Curl Junkie Deep Fix. The latter two aren't marketed as protein but it has protein ingredients so I'm thinking my hair would respond to it as being strengthening vs. moisturizing.
 
How does everyone dry their hair when they want to wear it down and straight? When i do a wash N set with root blow out, my hair get frizzy in the wind.
 
Ok buds, give it to me straight. Am I going bald, or is this normal for 14 weeks' worth of newgrowth?

Just seems like too much of my scalp is showing between the curlies! Ugh!

Eta: sorry if the pics come in upside down.

It looks like your hair is curling or coiling together giving the illusion of "balding". Have you noticed more than the usual shedding?
