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:

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:
 
Kb3auty said:
I love the color, your hair is so full and healthy. Does it tangle when you leave it like that for days?
Click to expand...

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:
