@pellohello I mix 1 tablespoon baking soda with two cups warm water until it's dissolved. I keep it in a squeeze bottle in the shower and it lasts for 2-3 washes. Then I pour it over my head and rub it into my scalp. My hair always comes out so soft afterwards. I just started doing this about a month ago and I think this is going to be the only poo I use going forward. I always finish with an ACV rinse to balance the pH.

That sounds interesting. is it more like a clarifying poo or is it moisturizing? Sorry for all the questions:)

When I first read about it, it was for a clarifying poo. I think it does clarify, but it also makes my hair feel so soft. I think the low pH may open my cuticle and let the conditioner work better.
 
After my workout last night I washed my hair and DC'd overnight with my Lustrasilk Placenta & Jojoba Cholesterol. I'm trying to use that stuff up because it pales in comparison to the Mango & Shea Butter cholesterol that they foolishly discontinued.

Still on the hunt for a decent DC that I can find on the ground.

Dry DC with AOHSR
Poo with baking soda
Condition with either kenra or aphogee
Rinse with ACV
Put in my DB leave in
Air dry in a bun or pony tails

All done. :yep:

Ok, I think I just over spent @ sallys. I need sum advice. I paid 94 bucks for a standing dryer. Is that a good price? It was originally 140. In total I spent 150. I'm having buyers remorse. I couldn't help it. I also bought a much needed flat iron & products I always wanted to try like ecostyler & as I am cowash cleanse. I am going to goggle the dryer & if its cheaper online, ill take this back.

On another note, my wng was a semi success. Initially it looked great, but b/c of the humidity & rain yesterday it started to become a wavy afro. So I braided for a braidout the next day. I think this is my best braidout. I will post pics on Monday.

BraunSugar have you tried the tea tree version? It's pretty good.

Somebody please make me cowash and moisturize my hair, it's starting to get ridiculous...I'm coming up with every lazy excuse NOT to do anything to my hair...SMH at myself.

I had that dryer for about 1.5 years before I upgraded. It's good for DC, getting your hair partially dry prior to blow dying and for those with short hair. If your hair is long and/or thick/dense, forget about using it for roller sets. It dries just fine but you will be under the dryer for over 2 hours.

I just shampooed and Dc'd. Then I used the As I Am leave-in conditioner for the first time, for the price, I'm not impressed, I've used much cheaper products that have felt the way that this feels. Hopefully I have better luck with the other products in this line.
 
I'm such a bum...pregnancy got me lazy. Haven't done much with my hair. I got it styled in a nice flat twist updo on the 14th, just moisturizing. I'm sure I'll go back into braids at some point next month until May/June so that I won't look crazy during delivery and first few weeks at home with my baby. Last thing I want is to have a setback, but know I won't have time to do my hair and keep my DD up. If y'all have any other suggestions for a long lasting protective style let me know!
 
I'm upping my number of DCs a week to two and doing no less than 40min each time. I'm sitting under the dryer now. So determined to hit BSL this year!

I was going to buy "as i am" leave-in but that price was crayzie for the amount that you got. Unless its the best leave-in in the world:yep: I'm glad I didnt purchase it. Have you tried there cowash product?
 
Question Ladies, When I was in Sally's yesterday, I noticed that Silk Elements has a new product line. I donot recall the name but its suppose to be all natural. No cones, parabens etc... I was thinking of trying the shampoo. I have never seen shampoo like this, it looked like oatmeal and the consistency was like a very heavy conditioner. Has anyone tried Silk Elements new product line yet? Any reviews?
 
Still in my braids.....they are itching like crazy...gotta make them last till the weekend...then I MUST relax, color and check out my problem spots......
I know I have pretty good growth because these greyish roots are all over the place...lol
 
Happy 2 year nappiversary to me!!!! And how am I gonna celebrate? By putting my hair in Celies and doing laundry of course.
 
pelohello, I've only used the Leave-In and the Moisture Milk. The leave-in I've already commented on, the Moisture Milk performed well, but was very similar to Shea Moisture Curl & Style Milk, so for the price I will definitely not be repurchasing. I did purchase the co-wash but I've yet to use it, I'll post my thoughts once I do. I too saw the Naturals Silk Element line, I picked up the leave-in, after I use it, I'll let you know how it preformed for me.

NikkiQ Happy 2 year Nappiversery!!!

I did exactly that! I will definitely be adding that to my regi!

DUDE Cattypus1!! Is it just me or are you noticing less shedding and breakage too!! The lack of breakage is most likely due to the heavy protein treatment. I'm going to do my regular mid-week CW and do another tea rinse, I can't wait for the weekend, it's too far away. I can imagine it'll get better with continued use and if this keeps up, it's going to be a beautiful thing!!!

Wig of the week. I can see how people get addicted to these things. Have my hair in about six plaits underneath. This low manipulation is great for my hair. Retention, retention, retention is the name of the game, lol.

That is super cute!!! One day I'll be comfortable enough to wear a wig. I bought one but it's still sitting on the wig head because I can't figure out how I would want to wear it. I'm a newbie to wigs and I just don't want it to look weird

Twenty four hours later, the moisture milk is really holding up. Next wash/DC day, I'm going to have to use Shea Moisture Curl & Style Milk in order to accurately compare the 2. Cause the price difference is no joke.

Thanks! It's a lacefront. You don't know how much it means to me to see your comment, b/c I am feeling slightly self-conscious in it. I also have another one which I believe is the same style, only longer (like full BSL/MBL). I have sitting behind my hairline with my baby hair and any as much shorter pieces as I can and put a light cap on and a bit of concealer for scalp blending.

I think I want to try a u-part next as I think it will alleviate the self-conscious scalp thing.
