1. I know this is the LONG hair care forum, but are there any ladies who don't necessarily want longer hair, but healtier hair practices? I hope that makes sense.
2. I see that alot of ladies want to stop or do things to slow shedding, but I thought that shedding was a natural occurance that I shouldn't be too concerned about. I go a week or two without combing my hair, so I know that I will see some shed hair. Am I wrong for not being concerned if I see shed hair?

That's it! Team Buttmeat. I was like wth? But there seem to be spinoffs as well, Team somethingorother. Haha, that's funny.
not sleeping, i know that much...probably feeding your hair forum addiction (didn't know i knew that about you huh
)

You're on your own w/that one!
My sleeping schedule is all jacked up. I take a "nap" anywhere from 1-4 hours in the late afternoon evening then wander around the apt. in the middle of the freaking night before going back to sleep.

thanks
i use water and conditionner in my spritz; so i dont know why it reacts that way
I'm thinking maybe the spritz is protein based? That would result in dry crunchy feeling hair.

, there are plenty. the general consensus is with health comes length anyway. most are striving for healty hair first and foremost.2. I think they are referring to excessive shedding...other than the normal amount. I believe it's normal to shed about 100 hairs per day (give or take)...depends on the person though. Depending upon what is normal for each person, any amount of shedding over that is usually cause for concern. (does that make sense?)
Since retention is a big issue, many women don't like to see shedding at all.

it may still have a protein in the ingredients. Can you list the ingredients? Also what do you mean by spritz? Like holding spray or like braid spray (water based leave-in condish)?
Smoothing: To work/comb through, concentrating on getting it smoother/ straighter.

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,
Na. I was talking about the one in the jar. It's creamy not hard.

Go to User CP (Look at the top of your screen, it's in white in the same row as 'Search'). When you get to your Control Panel, on the left hand side of your screen you should see 'Edit Signature'. You can either enter a link if you have your picture uploaded, or do it as an attachment.
Alot of ladies here seem to be using http://www.pikifx.com/ps/home . I haven't played around with it yet but it seems easy enough. Looks like your just upload your pics and it will create the little strip for you.
Posting a picture in a thread - It depends on if you're posing an uploaded picture or an attachment.
Uploaded - While you're in the "Reply" box, click "Insert Image" which is above the reply box. It's the little button that looks like this -
Then just copy/paste the link where you pic is located.
Attachment - While you're in the "Reply" box, click "Manage Attachments" which is below the reply box under 'Additional Options'. From there you can click 'Browse' to find the pic that's saved on your PC and then once you've selected it, click 'Upload'. Should show up in your post.
I hope I explained this well.. I'm kinda tying on the fly...
THanks I am going to try. I want a cute siggy. Mine is boring!

Here's Mine:
For those that are relaxed and who really don't do a lot of bunning / protective styles. How do you get your moisture and how often. Because when I bun I use S Curl daily and it's a bit damp but I pull it up so it doesn't matter.
If moisture is important how do you get it and not get the relaxed hair wet/ too moist?
THANKS!

When I am wearing my hair down, such as after a fresh blowout, I still moisturize. I use a small amount of a light moisturizer and put it on the ends of my hair (and a tad bit throughout my hair) at night and in the morning. I do not feel like my hair has to feel wet in order to be moisturized. Also, my hair does not like to be constantly moist because it gets mushy and breaks more easily, this is one reason I stopped baggying. HTH!

OP: Great THREAD!! 
This is a!! I read that if you "nap" for more than 20-45mins your body automatically equates this "nap" for nighttime sleep.

I have been stretching for the past 3 months. Can a relaxed head get a texurizer? I really think I want wavy/curly hair! That can be blown out when I want it straight. Will it work? Am I C R A Z Y?

First time posting y'all so bear with me......I've been wking on my profile and can't seem to get it together so I'm not sure what's going to show up. Anyhoo, I love this thread 'cause I have so many questions and the first is what kind of Denman brush should I get? There was about 3 different kinds - one was a paddle brush and I'm assuming that's not the one.

Most people get either the D3 or the D4.

To ladies with relaxed hair who co-wash every day or every other day, What kinds of styles are you wearing?
I would like to try co-washing, however, I would not know what to do with it afterwards
Hey tyrablu,
You could try to flat-twist your hair and put a roller at the end. I tried it on myself for the first time last weekend. I will do it again then upload the pictures to show you.

That is for a braidout, when you braid your hair and take it down to enjoy the texture created by the braids. The roller at the end helps the style to look better and more "finished."why do you guys put rollers at the end of your braids?
I wear my hair in a curly pony-puff. I use Aveda Be Curly on the ends and sometimes will put a little silk flower on the side of the base of the pony-puff.To ladies with relaxed hair who co-wash every day or every other day, What kinds of styles are you wearing?

Like 'massaging' but w/ 'mega' in front of it.
They're massaging the megatek in, or Megasagging.
Oh duh. I should have known that.

You can texturize your hair by intentionally underprocessing - leaving the relaxer on for a short period of time on your new growth. There is no chemical that can be added to relaxed hair to make it curly/wavy. However, you can intentionally underprocess and gradually chop off the straight ends to get the look you desire.
