This is second day hair for me. I used the Design Essentials Coconut and Monoi Soufflé today to moisturize and refresh my hair. I like it much better on dry hair.




Since the forum will be down over the weekend I'll let you ladies know now that I'm going to Sally's to pick up the new Shea Moisture Professional products. I plan on getting the leave in and the curl enhancing co wash. I couldn't tell if they had a styler.

I've been running around all day! Finally have the chance to share my results:

Today I used the Ampro Pro Styl Curl Enhancer (curl activator gel) for my wash and go. It's thick but not as thick as Eco styler. As I applied it it clumped my curls, but didn't overly clump them...lol if that makes sense.

wet results

I didn't really have to do much separating. As I applied the gel it didn't seem to be quiet heavy enough on it's own to keep the frizz at bay, so I went in with some Olive Oil Eco over the parts that were already frizzing up. Overall, despite it's thickness, the gel felt light on my hair and my curls were extra curly and springy.

mostly dry

This is the best hair day I have had in a long time. It was very windy today, and my curls were blowing and bouncing all over my head. My hair feels soft.

I would recommend this gel if you are looking for a moisturizing, non-greasy, protein free gel that won't weigh your hair down.
 
I've been having some pretty good hair days and it felt like I had no one to share them with :eek:. Glad we are back up and running. I've been keeping it simple been using tresemme conditioner and gel. I did something I never thought I would I brought some shampoo last night. :lachen: I got the tresemme flawless curls shampoo (it has sulfates and sorts of things I'm not necessarily feeling :confused:). I used it last night we shall see how my reacts when I style it today, I will say my hair felt normal when I was done so I may incorporate shampoo in my regimen occasionally.
 
I got my hair cut a few weekends ago. I thought I should just get it restyled into a tapered TWA but the stylist said he could remove the damaged ends without going to that extreme. But I wish I'd just gotten it all cut off. The condition of my hair is good but the style is no bueno. I look like the black grown up version of Little Orphan Annie. :oops:

PS. Cool thing. I started posting this, then when to look at my photo gallery. When I came back , my draft post was saved automatically.

:) Lol. Glad to see you too. I was starting to think I would never see you ladies again. I have a ton of new products that I inherated from a reformed PJ and looking forward to sharing the results.

Today, I'm in a styled old wash and go but I will be washing and conditioning again tonight.

Lol I was was having some serious withdrawal issues while the forum was down. I feel like that scene at the end of The Color Purple.
 
So glad the site is back up! My WnGs have been looking an absolute HAM :(

I think it's because I'm really growing through the in between stage coming out of a twa. I picked a huge tub of the wet line extreme gel I plan on using it tonight. Hopefully my results are good and post worthy.

Hopefully picture posting will be available by then. I don't think anyone has been successf yet.
 
I usually post from my LHCF album, and I'm still having problems uploading files.

Another new feature: While I was typing this, I was alerted that a new comment had been posted in this thread and I was able to see it without losing what I had already typed.

It looks nice, but it looks like they cut a lot!

Yeah, he had to. I had a lot of mid strand splits -- sometimes 2 and 3 splits on the same strand -- and splits that started 2-2.5 inches up from my ends all over my head. I came in knowing that he was going to have to take off at least 3 inches and had already poured out some likka for my ends that weren't going to make it. I thought I'd end up walking out with a tapered TWA but he said the cut didn't need to be that drastic to get rid of the damage. I think I'd feel more stylish had I stuck to my guns and had him chop it all off.

That said, after I took that sad mopey picture this morning for today's hairstyle, two people at Starbucks said they liked it, so it probably didn't look that bad. But I'm still considering getting more cut off...

Do you know what caused the splits and damage? That seems like a lot.
