Can I ask a DUMB question

:lachen: @ fluffy bunnies!!!!

I have 2 different textures (mostly 3b but some 4b at the nape) so sometimes my nape does weird things.. :drunk: but I *do* think it's both a products secret and a technique secret.

I have the best wash and go's when I co-wash, rinse but leave a lil conditioner in (or add some back in), use my fingers to detangle/shingle (instead of a comb which can break up the curls), shake my hair to seperate the curls then scrunch it up a lil with oil in my hands. :yep:

But some ladies use a Denman brush to separte the curls. It's kinda trial and error til you find what works for your hair.

For products, (this is what works for ME) V05 works well as a leavein, as well as John Frieda Frizz Ease conditioner. I have used Beyond the Zone Noodlehead (from Sally's) and that worked well too. I use any random oil for scrunching. I know Queen T uses IC Gel to scrunch.

Oooh okay.

What if you don't have any actual curls? I have (seriously and don't laugh it will hurt their feelings) two locks of pretty little spirally coily curls, and the rest is varying waves when it's wet.

Should I find a product that enhances the little bit of curl pattern I have?

Thanks so much. I am going to try that after I get over my little swoop of bangs w/a bun.

Do people use MN on their hair?:spinning: I see post reffering to MNing hair. I think I have the initials right. Maybe I'm remembering the initials incorrectly.

Hey Penny, it is applied on the scalp only and I have a recipe in my fotki. You don't need all the ingredients I have in mine. One oil, a moisturizer, something sulfur, and some essential oils would be enough.

You might be sleeping now! I was up late last night too reading some of your posts...so perhaps that's why you were up, to entertain us :yep:
 
4a ladies, what moisturizers do you use in your hair to get your hair to lay down when you're 9 weeks post. Please tell me something I can get at the bss. Thanks

I would say, go to a stylist you trust. It is possible to DIY, but you don't want overprocess due to the time it may take you to apply the relaxer. The trouble with going to a stylist is she may try to relax the previously relaxed hair. I think a stylist is the best option if you know someone who won't overlap.

I agree, 30 weeks is a whole lotta of ng and you don't want to have underprocessed/overprocessed hair.

Can I flat-iron after ayurvedic rinse or is that too much manipulation?
Click to expand...

I do. I usually rollerset then flatiron afterwards. I might be missing some of the benefits doing this but I still like the way my hair feels. For me the bad outweighs the good. I remember when the "movement "started I asked HERicane the same thing:yep:. She said it was ok, its just a different way to wash your hair. Be sure you rinse really well with water after the tea rinse though.

When applying oil from an applicator bottle, how do you keep your hair from getting overly-oily. My hair gets so oily that I have to rinse it out the next day. Do you just use your fingers if you are trying to avoid getting your scalp too oily?

hahaha Girl...I luvs you too... you better be glad you're my idol hahaha




Okay another question: What is the difference in cholesterol and protein treatments; how do I know if and when I need one?
 
Are u meaning lay down in a bun or ponytail? if so, for me spritzing it with water or water and condish and then using a little aloe vera gell, using a soft bristtle boar brush to smooth and then doing the 'scarf method' is a beast. Can't even tell i'm 8 weeks post.

The scarf method period is the bomb--but when the newgrowth is unmanageable--add misting/spritzing---soft brush---and aloe.

ETA: as far as moisturizers---ORS Olive Oil Cream is still my staple and i've added Profective Break free into the mix sometimes too.

I part my hair into four sections. I then direct the oil onto my scalp but I only put one "swipe" at a time. Then, with the other hand, I massage it in and spread it around. I repeat through each section. This way, my whole head has a even very very thin layer of oil. I just apply a little and massage as I go.
