APL 2012 Challenge

i'm adding a few things to my regimen:
for my AVG moisturizer, i've substituted water for rose water and spraying it daily (glycerin, rose water and AVG);

will be incorporating hair growth drink (carrot, apple, and 2 sticks of ginger), just need to get me a juicer. as soon as i make it, i will be drinking a cup daily.

I will be doing an Irish Moss treatment tonight and leaving it overnight (1 pkg Irish moss; nettle; horsetail) i want to start adding Rhaussoul clay to the mix, as soon as i find a seller.

as soon as i budget, i will be getting all the ingredients to make miss jessie curly pudding substitute.


Does anyone know where i can get Rhassoul clay, i want to avoid ordering it online. hate paying shipping cost.

here are the links to my additions:

What is AVG? And where did you get your rose water from?

Hey ladies, just checking in. My hair is back in it's normal do-twist and under a satin scarf. Still waiting for my crochet braid hair to arrive *sigh*...been having relaxed hair ideation lately.
 
Putting kinky twists in my hair today. Will try to keep in till August? Idk yet. I did a lil length check and will do comparisons. I blowdred it prior to the length check so it can be more accurate and to make it more manageable for my twist extensions. I hope I get done today. My hands are starting to hurt a little.

AVG= aloe vera gel. I got it at harvest coop, they also sell it at whole foods, but it's more expensive at whole foods.

@livinthevida No no I only use it on wash day either Saturday or Sunday depending on my work schedule. And it gets very HOT!! I bought the warranty on it and this one is going on three years on its own. Its a good investment.

That is excellent use for up to 3 Years @KaramelDiva1978! I am almost at my 6 month HHJ Anniversary! Once I reach this I may incorporate heat into my reggie a few days a week :yep: if I use a hair bonnet I will start on low heat for a short time then cool setting to end the drying cycle. If my hairs still a little damp that's ok I'll be in the testing phase again!! :lol:

Yet for now I REALLY LOVE the results I have every evening while wearing my Conditioning Cap during workouts, great hair every time with my own body heat ;)

@Kb3auty possibly a Whole Foods or Market? the Rhassoul Clay is here along the East Coast when I visited Vermont with a few girlfriends last Spring they were in the Health/Beauty isle or how about a Herb Store to see types they have available?
 
I did a wash and go with kiss my face upper management gel and got the best wash and go ever. I think I've found my staple gel. Here are some pics of my hair today (day 3).

i am prepooing right now with some avocado oil. i do this sometimes when my hair has taken a beating from styling. i added the oil to dry hair, put my plastic cap and my scarf on. i plan on washing my hair today. i washed it friday night. i have a lot of heat protectant, hair polishing spray, and hair spray, so i need to remove that stuff from my color treated hair.

oh my SIL told me she liked my hair and the color. she said it was so black, that i didn't look real. i love blue black. jet black is for the birds! :lol:

I love the color, your hair is so full and healthy. Does it tangle when you leave it like that for days?

Thanks! No it doesn't tangle too bad when I leave it this way for a few days. Its gonna stay like this too for another week or so :nono:

Sent by me from my Android phone.Boom

ok how did you do this? it is very pretty! i would like to try a twistout. this is a flat twistout right? my hair is layered. i wonder would this look right on me right now? will i have to wait until next year?
Click to expand...

Yes I think it's called a flat twist (someone correct me if I'm wrong) but its just like doing a French braid or cornrow but only with 2 pieces of hair at a time instead of 3. I did a protein treatment then rinsed and put in my cantu Shea butter on each part before I twisted, I did 5 twists then pinned them to my head. I let it dry for a while (watched a movie lol) n then sprayed braid spray n olive oil b4 i put on my scarf 4 bed. Then took down this morning n moisturized, sealed and pinned to the side :) I like it.

ETA: shortdub78 I don't see y u would have to wait, ur layers may give it a fuller rounder effect. I say go for it :yep:
