Your hair looks nice, wish I could pull it off.

Im happy to hear you are transitioning. I am doing the same. I announce last week. However I been prepping for awhile. With you having skills with rollersetting lilke in your picture, transistioning should be a breeze for you.

Good luck and PM me, we could keep each other motivated.

Nothing I mixed it with QH cholesteol 3:1 oils and honey

 

[NikkiQ]

^^^You have to follow that up with a LONG moisturizing DC. That's probably why your hair felt so hard.

NikkiQ I thought everyone knew about my onion mask. It saved me from a life of thin scalp showing hair.

I change the recipe up all the time but the main ingredient is raw onion. Here is my basic recipe, tweek it how you like.

1/4 raw onion, either juice it or blend with a bit of water and strain
2 T water if juiced
2 T pepper apple cider vinegar (U are from the south, so I figure you know how to make hot pepper vinegar)
1/4 small hot pepper (I use Serrano, but any hot pepper is fine, this is what puts the massage in the mask, use the least you can, it is just to create the warm feeling, which means the blood is detoxing the scalp)
1 clove of fresh raw garlic (purple is best)
Add any herbs, clays, and essential oils that you like to make a mask

Washed and rollerset my hair today! It feels so good to have my thickness back! I had my hair flat ironed by a stylist when she did my trim last week and it made my hair sleek but so flat and lifeless.

I'm experiencing ALOT of shedding though. I can see the white bulbs proving that its shed hair and not broken ones. I just wish I could make it stop

 

[Seamonster]

eat some garlic, maybe some good ole fresh garlic bread. that will stop excessive shedding.

 

[The Princess]

Yall I can't stop cutting my hair, I just wish my whole head was natural already. All those years of relaxing. Geesh. Ok vent over. Im now collar bone length. Very thick though.

 

[itsjusthair88]

Wow your twists look great!! Nice and thick head of hair.

Sent by me from my Android phone.Boom

LOL @itsjusthair88! Your hair is looking good in these twists

Thank you!

Applied Keracare Overnight Moisturizing Tx to my ends last night and sealed with castor oil + shea butter mixed. I skipped my usual overnight oil pre-poo last night bc my hair STILL feels so soft and moisturized from midweek.

Doing a dry DC right now with QH Cholesterol + CON AO + WGO. Wash with Hollywood Beauty AO poo, then follow up with Mirpur Soy PTx and finish with a rinse out con mixed with castor oil and avocado oil.

My current leave in is 1:1:1 Keracare Natural Textures + AVG + Glycerine. I seal lightly with coconut + sunflower oil.

Loving this journey getting to know my hair!

That sounds like a damn good mask! How long do you normally leave it on?

Thank you, it works in twenty minutes, but since I perfected my recipe, I often fall asleep with it.

 

[jprayze]

Here's my twist out for today. Wondering how long it will last.

 

[NikkiQ]

Very pretty jprayze! What products did you use??

[buddhas_mom]

Ladies I'm going to clarify tonight. Do you think its counterproductive to pre-poo prior to clarifying? I'm just wondering since clarifying is going to remove everything from my hair anyway.

TIA!

 

[jayjaycurlz]

OKay I have been totally neglectful in posting my updates. Please forgive me ladies. I've been busy with school, work, etc.

Please see below for my June update! Wearing wigs and protecting/hiding my hair has really paid off.
