LOL lovebug10!
I would drop everything too! especially if I had my Organic Coconut Oil (OCO) again! 
Ladies my mesh rollers are finally here just waiting on the R&B (Revive and Balance) hair moisturizer by Lush Cosmetics and my first EVER Conair Collapsible Hard Hat Dryer to arrive (see picture and link for details and reviews via Amazon). It was easy to choose the Conair for 2 major reasons: 1) affordable price (good reviews helped too!) and 2) it collapses for easy storage! In the past I was really use to washing and going with gel and never used blow dryers or flat irons too well. Similar to adding OCO and WGHO into my HHJ reggie I want to test it out first before going for a high end model! Once I move my workouts to the morning I will likely not rollerset everyday
I am practicing plait braids and two strand twists on weekends and love the results

I know there are a bit of naturals on this site but any of you ladies PS using wigs/weaves? Or ps by cornrowing weekly or biweekly and washing taking down and doing it all over again? If so how is your retention and growth been? I'm seriously thinning about just hiding my hair for the rest of year I'm thinking wigging it via upart wigs w closure so no heat on my leave out the only thing is when I sew my upart down I'm not tempted to take my wig off and mess w my hair but then I can't really MS daily like I want to either idk just making hair plans for the next 5 months I'm thirsty to hit APL lol

livinthevida Yea, girl, I am trying to get it done. Thank you, I feel pretty good about it, but I know my hair can be four times this thick if I get all my follicles back. It has been a long road, and there are many more miles to grow.
Let me know how that collapsable conair works for you. My bathroom is so tiny, I either need a collapsable or a stand up. My table top, doesn't look nice sitting on the floor next to the toilet.

Finally took my sew-in out tonight and of course, there was a lot of breakage along with the shed hair ::sigh::. I'm sitting with my pre-poo in now. Gonna do a clarifying shampoo, protein DC followed by a moisturizing DC and gonna throw my hair in some twists to dry in overnight. I have an appt tomorrow to get my hair straightened so of course I'll be here with pics cause I know how we love pics lol. Probably gonna leave it straight for about a week if it lasts that long, this heat in SC ain't no joke. After that I plan on getting my hair back healthy from this breakage and focus on my goal of retention so I can be at least grazing APL in December.

Capilo Miel y Leche (Milk and Honey)...a Dominican conditioner. Every time she goes, she brings back hair products!!! I
her! She let us pick which one we want and since I love honey, I picked this one up. I was happy to search it on here and see that people were talking about it. Now I want to use it ASAP
It's mentioned on this thread. http://www.longhaircareforum.com/showthread.php?t=503623&highlight=miel+y+leche
I still have a little of this left from her last trip: http://www.amazon.com/Dominican-Naturals-Key-Treatment-Conditioner/dp/B00204A91E

Just made three weeks in my Senegalese twists, so three more weeks left before I redo them! I'm glad to have an opportunity not to be in my hair all the time but I have to remember to moisturize. The struggle.

You gonna have me take a flight over to DomRep since I'm right here to pick up a few products
How long is the flight from PR? I am tempted to pack an empty bag just for hair stuff when I go next month.

LOL I really couldn't wait another second. Please update us on how the collapsable conair works. I just bought a table top but my mom loves to take my things after hers break so I anticipate having to buy a new one because she can't keep a dryer for more than 6 months... it also conveniently "breaks" when i get something new

Well, I don't really have a reggie per se.
I normally wash my hair every 10 - 14 days. I pre-poo with whatever oil I have on hand (olive, coconut, castor, argan, etc.). I use Silk Dreams Whip my Hair, Wen Fig or Terressentials Mudwash to shampoo. I use Silk Dreams Vanilla Silk or Shea What to DC w/heat. I will either cornrow my hair or plait it in celies to wear under my wigs. I use Pura Body Murumuru as a leave-in, Silk Dreams Nourish Oil to seal and Afroveda Chocolatte as my styling butter. I re-moisturize twice a day in the am and pm (my hair is d.r.y.) and I use plain water with Lush R&B. It's Ph balanced and my hair absolutely loves this stuff! I also take a multi vitamin. I rarely use flat irons or blow dryers - only for special occasions.
Then I repeat this every 10 - 14 days. Protective styling and lo mani has really worked for me over the past 7 months. I'm a reformed 100% WnG girl. I did WnGs even in the winter and had hard, frozen hair, that snapped off - wondering why it wouldn't grow.
Doing this reggie has really saved my hair and helped to retain my length.

Will do @Seamonster, @lovebug10 & ladies! Amazon says delivery estimate is by Monday July 30
this will be perfect timing as I grow near to my first 30 days using WGHO on August 1st! I can try rollersets with both the new moisturizer and WGHO

Really good reggie here jayjaycurlz! How do you like the R&B (Revive and Balance) hair moisturizer by Lush Cosmetics? do you rinse this one out or leave in all day? I plan to apply ear to ends then rollerset on a cool setting!Well, I don't really have a reggie per se.

This product is too expensive for me to wash out! I leave that creamy goodness in my hair.
It's like my hair hugs itself when I put R&B in it - cute ringlets form at the end of my celies. Oh I forgot - the 'smell' of R&B isn't the greatest but you'll get used to it.
