I used ORS Nourishing pak thingy. I'm in love. Be advised that my hair is a protein-phile but this tops replenishing easily. And I'm going to test it against CON intensive con. Amazing conditioner. Slip like you've never seen

Today I'm wearing a braid out pony. I'm still loving LOC.

That's it I'm trying this this morning. If it wasn't so cold outside I'd use water but I'm going to find water based moisturizer and be back to post results. Going up in a bun today so shouldn't be that bad. Maybe I'll use Tresseme Aloe for the liquid. Be back ladies!

PS-

What creams do you all use for this LOC method?

And how often do you do it? I'm thinking of adding it to my regimen.

I use the LOC method when I am DC. For example:

L: Either water or rose water
O: Walnut Oil
C: Herbal Essence Hello Hydration

I LOVE coconut oil!!! It is my holy grail of LIFE, I use it to cook, to moisturize (makes me smell good), for me hair...everything! I LOVE IT!!!:grin::grin::grin:



That's awesome @Trixie58 I'm sure you will get it under control in no time. There is definitely a sew-in challenge, I just saw it on the first page recently. Look it up and get to growing girl!!!



Thanks @GettingKinky I might try that, although I'm not sure how to do it since I've gone back to my mini-twists method... :perplexed I'll figure it out, thanks!

How do you apply the coconut oil on your skin. Do you mix it with anything or you just straight apply it. I'm looking for a natural "lotion" type moisturizer for the summer. I used to use shea butter but it never really penetrated my skin and it left my skin oily and slimey.

:lol: Nope! I had to tell them both yesterday to back up off me now. Why in the world would I flat iron my hair in April just to go hang outside at a festival all weekend? Goof troop I swear.
 
Been a hot minute since I've updated. I think last time was in the APL '12 thread.

Well, I reached APL and I believe I am just a few inches, if not less, from the very beginning of BSL.

I got my hair blown out Jan. 31 for my bridal shower that weekend. Here is it before being styled. You can go to my album to see the comparison between this blow out and Oct. 31's. The arrow in the picture shows where my hair stops as it is a dark background.

This is it styled, the next day...and pin-curled overnight.

I am not a big, crazy heat person, but I had a bridal shower (and my family's not seen my hair straight since being natural) and then I got married a month later, so I do have a tiny bit of heat damage in the front. I knew it could happen and I accept the responsibility of the risk. I don't regret it because my hair was "laid to the gods" for my wedding and I loved it. Plus, I think I may do a little something different for summer...cut? Color? Who knows!

When I find a non-copyright picture of my wedding day hair, I will post it.
 
shortdub78 I hope you feel better soon. :(

I just started NJoy's challenge. I'm going to do it for two months and see what happens. It doesn't smell bad but I still am able to catch whiffs of the sulfur, however my bff (who is able to smell a gnat peeing on cotton at forty paces) says that he smells nothing until he's on my scalp lol. No itching at all. I want to co-wash but it's just too cold. :nono:
 
About to wash this sew in today. It's definitely time...i've been doing the hoodpat on my head for the list two days...u know what I'm talking about (or have seen it)..... LOL Patting my head with the palm of my hands to stop the itchies. LOL

One inch in one month!! I'm so jealous. I don't even get half that :-(

Do you take special vitamins or use MN or some other "special sauce" on your hair??? Spill your secrets :-)
 
LOC is what's up!! Yes the bizness. Used CON Lemongrass leave in, Coconut oil and Wen Fig. Oh yeah no dry head over here moisture to the fullest. I really couldn't wrap my head around the concept to think it would work. I could probably moisturize every other day like this. Staple in my regimen just when I thought it was foolproof! TY divas for posting your wonderful reviews.

shortdub78 I wish you were here in the boot so I could slap some moisture and cornrows in that head and tie down with a satin scarf so you can rest. I'm so sorry your catching the blues Hun. Is the baby prince home yet? Hang in there lady ..it gets better. We're rooting for you.

NikkiQ uh Ms. Nikki we need some straight hurr pitchas! No teasing allowed! LOL

We gon start a riot in here!!!

I wanna stretch my relaxer y'all but I wanna wear my hair straight with the BF this weekend. Decisions decisions decisions.
 
Y'all and this straightening mess! :lachen: I'll flat iron a little piece for the length check. Deal? Lol

Sent from my Android...Boom.
