Just checking in. Haven't done anything special to my hair - got sick AGAIN!! Can't shake this cold virus! It even knocked me off my vitamin routine!

Just finished DCing with La BOMBA deep treatment and I really liked it. I followed it up with a CW using Aussie Moist and crece Pelo leave in, sealed with EVOCO and Organix macadamia oil!

Plan to try silicon mix dc. Have been wanting to for the longest time so im ordering it online.
I bought a drawstring pony today. Although I had to debulk and shorten it I really like it now, the texture is kinky straight, like blow dried hair. I'll post a pic soon.

growbabyYour hair has grown in leaps and bounds. You look like you are heading to MBL not BSL. Congrats lady.
she is chasing MBL! we just let her stick around, so we can see pictures of her hair!
I have been doing green and oolong tea rinses and finger detangling to deal with the shedding and I think it is helping. I would get scared at how much hair I was losing, I think I posted a couple of times about it. Now I get less than half of what I use to get. I hope it helps me retain length in the long term.

now you know all of sudden my shedding is decreasing. (like almost a week or so). but it could be stress, or just going through a growth cycle. are you still in the MN challenge? that could be it? maybe TOM? as long as it's not coming out in clumps or or you start seeing small patches, i wouldn't worry about it. try doing a black tea rinse after you finish your braids.
i did a big no-no today. i applied some ORS Mayo to dry hair, added a little water and allowed it to sit in my hair for almost 4 hours. i was scared to what was going to happen when i rinsed it out. well, it turns out that it really moisturized my hair! my hair and new growth felt really good! i shampooed with CON argan oil shampoo. my hair still felt nice. now i am dc'ing for 10-15 mins.
i really like ORS mayo. it seems to really work for me, even though it's a protein conditioner. i will go back to using it once a week, until something changes.

Stop frontin, you know me!
Operation Medium Braids starts today...after my coffee of course
This is the size braids I do, to keep my hair from knotting up when I take them down and my hair style looks more natural when I place my Marley bun on top.
When I started shedding excessively and I couldn't figure out the reason. I started doing black tea rinses it is a miracle worker.

I did a braid out Monday night and wore it out yesterday. I put it in an updo today. I guess I will do a full protective style tomorrow....My hair feels kind of dry. I think I'm going to cowash on Friday.

shortdub78 I haven't been consistent with MN since last June and lately it's been every blue moon so I don't think that could be the problem. What is TOM? Not entirely sure where I would be able to get black tea from out here. Seriously lacking in things on this damn island.
Where do you get your supplements from SimJam? Online?

I just experienced unusual shedding and put pure garlic extract in my AE garlic mask and did a scalp treatment with heat. It decreased it considerably. The next day I added it to my MN Mix and now it's normal again. I get my garlic Extract from either Whole Foods or The Vitamin Shoppe. The brand is Kyolic.

Chronically at BSL -_-
Took my hair down from my twists and it was a big mistake, I couldn't re-twist in time this morning and so I bunned it, doesn't look too bad, but still, it stinks lol. Gonna chill and do my minitwists this weekend.
EDIT: So around 9:05PM I decided to twist it up and I did these medium/fattie twists, I wager there are about 30-35 twists in all and it only took me about an hour. I think I'll try and wear them 2 weeks or so.

I'm experimenting with a new reggie, but my consistent regimen is wahs 1x, DC every week and switch between moisture and protein every other week. Moisturize and Seal as needed with a Liquid Leave in and Grease
~What do you plan on changing (if anything) to make it to BSL?
Not touching my hair and leaving PSes in long enough for them to actual do their job xD

@NikkiQ
there has got to be some tea around? you could use some garlic, but i don't know about the smell.... go to a restaurant and take some tea bags!
TOM is your time of the month.
There's Puerto Rican tea but no black tea
and yup...TOM started yesterday. Bleh!!! Didn't know that contributed to excessive shedding.

growbaby Looking good
deedoswell hope you get well soon!
Sholapie I'm very curious about this and the Alta Ego garlic DCs, please let us know what you think of it
NikkiQ I find that my shedding period is September to December, I did an aphogee 2 step the wk before my last touch up (last week of November) and 2 wks after I definitely think it has helped. I hope you get it under control real soon.
shortdub78 At the bolded: The same thing has happened with me, when I look back at my journals, the shedding has always happened at the same time of year which is why I think that is just my shedding period. Other than a setback I had with protein overload when I thought it would be a good idea to use Phyto suupplements, I only really shed between September and December.
I'm glad the long DC with ORS mayo worked out good for you, I'm sure the last thing you need right now is a setback
