Current hair length: CBL
Relaxed/Natura/Texlaxed/Transitioning: Natural
Goal Month: December 2014
New Reggie and styling choices:
DC twice a week with hair steamer and do a protein treatment once month.
Keep my hair stretched to avoid knots, these knots are horrible.
Moisturize and seal daily.
I’ve been fully natural for about six months and still cannot style my hair
Need to watch more youtube videos. Styling choices - buns, puffs, twist/braidouts

Relaxed my hair tonight after a 9 week stretch. I usually relax after 12 weeks, but for some reason my new growth came in like a wildfire this time and it was actually too much for me to handle. I used ORS no lye relaxer, and I did a mid protein step for the first time. I DC'd with some Aubrey Organics then T-shirt dried for 15mins. I applied some vatika coconut oil and sealed with ORS incredibly rich oil moisturizing hair lotion and let it finish air drying. I now have it in a loose "bun" and tied down with my silk scarf

some of my ends look terrible, kind of.. i may do some dusting before i braid it up.

Using Mane & Tail detangler as a moisturizer. My hair doesn't feel as moisturized as I like, and I feel I don't have many moisturizing spritz /:

Have you tried any other moisturizers? Check out the super star vendor thread for some vendors who have good products. Also in the vendor section there's threads on different vendors.

Thanks...someone told me to try one of Naturelle Grow's. I'm just nervous because I have sooo much products and not one of them is a good spritz. I don't want to keep stacking up on the items I end up never finishing. I have a big clear tote full of products, and it can't even fit them all.
When I finish with Mane & Tail, Ima check out the vendors mentioned. I just wish I knew which product would be my ideal one.
Thanks btw!!

Yeah I hear ya...what about mixing the products you have with like an oil and using them to detangle so they don't go to waste? At least you will be able to use them that way or maybe mix them with a shea butter and apply to your ends as a sealer if your hair likes butters.

I think my hair is thickening up now. I want to get some highlights because I think my natural hair color is boring but I don't know if that's a wise decision right now.

HairPleezeGrow girrrrl I think that stinky Liquid Gold may be working! Six weeks ago before I did my twists I could blow dry my hair straight enough to style without flat ironing if I wanted. I started using the Liquid Gold 3 weeks ago. I started noticing fuzzies in the top and around the sides before I took my twists out. Well, I took them out on Sunday and after I shampooed, conditioned and all that, I tried to blow dry it straight and it DID NOT work this time. It is sooooo thick! I had to press the roots with a straightening comb and then flat iron it with several passes. I was too scared to turn the iron up to 400, but I was tempted. I think I've gained close to an inch too!

Thanks and I know what you mean! That's one reason why when I finish this second 8 oz. bottle I don't think I'll order anymore. Now, I did notice that one day after I put it on my scalp I used some Karen's Body Beautiful cream to do some bantu knots. I noticed the smell of the cream masked the smell of the Liquid Gold.

Took my sew in down lol. Yeah I know...
I cowashed with KeraVada Kera 10 cowash. It didn't do much for me but I will use it to give it a fair shot. It didn't leave my hair feeling moisturized at all. I'm about to twist my hair up one side using QB amla heavy cream and entwine jelle styler. The other side I will use entwine butter creme hydrator and jelle styler.

My ends are really thanking me for applying a little extra butter last night. It was only 5 degrees when I left for class this morning
Tomorrow will be a protein treatment with komaza or my last henna of the year, haven't decided yet.
How often do you henna? Do you apply to the whole head every time? I used to apply it to the whole head and these last 2 times I did it I only applied to the roots. Also how do I get my grays to turn a dark brown instead of the golden color? I mix my henna and indigo and apply after it set overnight.
