Anyone...
I guess I would personally say 26 weeks since not all months are exactly 4 weeks, and also since a year is technically 52 weeks with 26 being half.
Can I ask a DUMB question
- Thread starter jamaicalovely
- Start date

Sorry panamoni.....6 months for me is 26 weeks because I count from the actual date, for example, January 22nd to July 22nd is 6 months for me and the number of weeks is actually 26 weeks but if I was counting by the day to 24 weeks, and I would be due for a relaxer on July 9th. Some people count exactly 24 weeks which is actually 6 months, however, not all months on the calender have the same amount of days, so for me I just count from the date, not the day.
Got another one....
I've searched and there's nothing specifically answering the question.
Aloe Vera juice or gel????
I'm going to whole foods...I know they'll have both...it's just a matter of what to get??
My plan is to add it to my spray bottle mixture..
Ideas....suggestions???

In my pre-poos, I use Lily Of The Valley Aloe Vera Gel and for spray moisturizers, I use the Aloe Vera Juice of the same name brand. The gel in my opinion is too clumpy for a spray moisturizer but it is perfect as a conditioner/pre-poo.

Firstly I would like to say thank you for all your (not so dumb) questions and an even bigger thanks for the helpful and informative answers, thats cleared up a lot for me.
Now I've got a couple of my own:
1. how do you post an lhcf album?
2. I aways thought that henna made hair red, does that mean that all you ladies that henna are all redheads?
3. how do you make friends with people (add them on your friend list) without looking like a stalker

You can use Henna for both Conditioning and Coloring Properties. If you use it for Conditioning, you don't necessarily have to release the dye.
For conditioning you can mix it with water, mix indian & other oils/conditioners etc.....there's a zillion threads on that.
For Coloring: You need to release the dye by adding an acidic base to it. i.e. lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, orange juice etc....which will give you red-tones. You mix it and allow the dye to release for about 6-8 hours or overnight.
To Make Your Hair "Dark" You still must Stain it first with Henna.
Personally, I Henna to cover grey, so I do a 2-Step Process. Henna First, then Indgo. The Indigo you mix with a little salt and hot water. The Indigo will Darken Hair and makes my Hair a Dark Brownish-Black.
To achieve dark hair that is anywhere from a warm dark brown to black, you either have to add do a two step Henna then Indigo OR Mix the Henna & Indigo together using more Indigo than Henna.

OMG I've been wondering the same thing! I find myself noticing the same members in a few different threads and that I've seen on a similair live journal group, and kinda wanting to add them to a friends list. Maybe she posted something really witty or I admire her hair and we have similar hair types and regimens. Maybe she mentions a similar interest and she goes to a salon in my area or she posts a particularly nice or helpful reply to my post.
Whatever the case I didn't want to just add someone and have that person creeped out, as I'm sure that the LHCF mods frown upon stalking other memebers. I guess if someone just added me I wouldn't be creeped out so I should assume the same if I were to add someone but instead it gets all turned around in my head.
Hopefully someone will have an answer because I'd like to know myself. No one likes rejection!

I think Dominican blowouts are for natural hair, but can you go to them if you are transitioning(a little relaxer on the ends)? I wanted to start a thread about this, but thought everyone would figure that everyone else knew the answer.
What exactly is a Dominican blowout? What's involved? Does one risk heat damage with it?

When or how often should I use my *new* silicon mix shampoo, conditioner and moisturizing treatment? What is the brand good for?

You should use it as often as you feel comfortable.
When I was relaxed, Silicon Mix was the only deep conditioner I used, I applied it to dry hair and sat under my dryer for 30-45 mins. Soft silky hair everytime.

It's a method used in Dominican salons to straighten hair. I believe they blow-dry the hair using a round-brush and then flat ironed. I've never heard of there being any Dominican salons in the UK.
Since a Dominican blowout utilises direct heat, one does risk heat damage. For some women, they do not get any damage from it. I suppose it all boils down to how hot the utensils are, how long direct heat is used on the head, the strength of the client's hair, the heat protectant used and the skills of the stylist.

OMG!!!! Thank you soooo much!!! I'm a newbie and a long time lurker
but I've been wanting to ask this quesiton forever!!!! Does Silicon Mix do anything for relaxed hair - give it slip? Will it help my new growth to be more manageable? I would love to stretch my relaxers but my new growth has a mind of its own!! 
I think if i could find something that will help my new growth and give me slip i could do better at my stretches. As of now I can't go past 8 weeks and sometimes I only make it to 7 weeks. 
Also where do you get your Silicon Mix and what brand is it? TIA!!!!

Sure, I don't see anything wrong with re-wetting your hair, applying your leave-ins, and setting it

another dumb question...lol
Is it okay to do a protein treatment three weeks in a row? I just washed and condishioned my hair and now its really really soft. I'm afraid to DC with anything moisturizing... should I do protein again?

Yes you can, as long as they are mild, but I'd recommend something with protein and moisture in it like Elucence Extended Moisture Repair Treatment or Mizani Fulfyl Treatment.
If you can't find any of these type conditioners, then try mixing a protein and moisture conditioner together before applying to your hair and DC with the combo. It should still work this way. Personally, I am never comfortable doing a protein treatment without moisture. You need to avoid jumping from one extreme to another and create some balance with moisture and protein.

To post in a LHCF album, you upload pics from your computer like you would to facebook or any other website. It's pretty easy but feel free to pm me if you are still having problems with it. I surely don't mind helping you.
If you guys wanna add someone to your friend list, just do it. Nobody is going to think it's weird. I do it and people do it to me all the time. It's pretty cool!

1. What does NTM mean?
2. Do you have to be fully natural in order for WNGs to look good? Or else you would just have part kinky hair and then part straight hair?
3. What does TIA mean?
