Like 'massaging' but w/ 'mega' in front of it.

They're massaging the megatek in, or Megasagging.

The ease in which a comb slides through your hair...it slips through without tangling.

Thank you.

why do you guys put rollers at the end of your braids?

and what is the line of demarcation and what do you do with it?

why is it that my hair feels and loks hard when I spritz and airdry?

but you said stupid right?

I was just brushing my tresses in the b room
and I noticed my edges in my side part.

The baby hair..
Is it supposed to be long like the rest of the hair or really really short?
It looks like breakage, but not completely sure.. because I think on he opther side its a little longer.

I did a huge chop..
but didnt cut my baby hairs ..lol

The line of demarcation is where the new growth hair and the previously relaxed hair meet. This is a very delicate area of the hair and must be handled with care.

Now as far as the dry hair after spritzing, I don't know about that because I don't know what you're using to spritz it with. I don't use any kind of spritz as they are extremely drying to the hair. Airdrying does seem to make the hair act a little funny, it doesn't dry as smooth as it does with heat. It is said to be better for the hair than heat - causes less breakage I think.

Baby hair is just that - they're usually finer than all the other hairs on the head and shorter too.

I think it has more to do with preventing overlapping....

I think black hair tends to look healthier/fuller.

People stretch because they want to give their hair a little break from chemicals and to prevent overlapping the relaxer on the previously relaxed hair.

How do you "multi quote"?

 

[Neith]

How do you "multi quote"?

I click on the quote button for each post that I want to quote, but I open each one in a new tab or window, then just copy and paste them into one post.

There probably is a better way to do it, but it works for me.

ORS Olive Oil - The lotion you mean? If you're speaking of the lotion, then it's a moisturizer.

Mink Oil - Good from what I've read. Seems like it add an extra something special to products, particularly Lacio Lacio. But I'm not 100% on that.

I guess I feel like answering questions today, Lemme fall back.....

How come oils aren't considered moisturizers?

How come oils aren't considered moisturizers?

Water moisturizes, oil lubricates.

Brownsugaflygirl breaks it down a bit here: http://www.longhaircareforum.com/showpost.php?p=2715519&postcount=8

I think that sebum coats and protects our hair shaft. I think that the first round of moisture comes from the inside. Over time, we add additional moisture that needs to be sealed with oils in order to maintain that balance.

However, I believe that oils and sebum are lubricators, sealers, and protectants that do not moisurize our hair regardless of the size of the molecule. Which doesnt mean that when it penetrates the hair shaft it doesnt have positive benefits like softness or shine...but its just not a moisturizer IMO...only water and water-based products can do that.

How come oils aren't considered moisturizers?

Water molecules penetrate the hair shaft while oils are bigger molecules that can not penetrate the hair shaft. Oil just sits on the outside of the strand. That is why it is important to use a waterbase moisturizer, then a oil to seal in the moisture. HTH
