Fall/Winter Wash n go challenge

[Karmi]

My hair in a wash n go puff. I co-washed once this week (tuesday) and used Eco styler clear. I was so lazy this week.

I try not to do puffs often anymore they pull on my edges. I love the look but i can see things going downhill quickly. I don't use brushes to get me hair laid, just water, a little gel and a silk scarf. Also, I soak my stocking in oil ( tip from a LHCF member). But still my edges can't handle this style often.

Very pretty

I got a 1-2 inch trim today. It'll take a while to grow it back, but I needed it.

Cowashing and bunning will help.

did a prepoo this morning that left my hair sooo soft. Followed that with a dc using one n'only mask and oil rinse using coconut oil. Then decided to do a conditioner only wash and go using suave Shea Butter and almond. Let's see how this dries...

No updates really. Other than Garnier Fructis Pure Clean Gel has been a favorite of mine in the last couple days. Think I'll use my J.Monique Mud Wash again this weekend.

I've had to wear a bun all week. I am presenting compliance training to my firm and wanted to have a very professional appearance. San Francisco this week and New York next week. I am so ready to go home, wash, and detangle my hair. I can't even imagine how difficult detangling will be... I miss my curls.

stephanie75miller, what are you using from the Cantu natural line? I really liked the curling custard, but I haven't tried anything else.

I didn't missed a day of washing my hair, but it looks pretty okay and it's still really soft

 

[Coilystep]

ckisland I have the moisturizing curl activator cream, define & shine custard, and complete conditioning cowash.

 

[beauti]

stephanie75miller did you do a review for each of the cantu products? I use the curl cream and its very moisturizing. Yesterday I bought the define and shine custard. They didn't have the curl activating cream. I want to try that, their deep conditioning mask, and moisturizing rinse out conditioner

 

[Coilystep]

beauti I used the products everyday this week and I think they were a success. I Cowashed every morning then I layered the define & shine custard with the curl activator. I did notice today I have white flakes but I think I was a little heavy handed when I applied the products yesterday. I did not notice flakes yesterday or any other day for that matter I think it's noticeable today because I have done my hair yet. This maybe a problem for people that don't cowash everyday. I plan to get the coconut curl cream today and try it out tomorrow. I have to say I'm pretty happy with this line so far.

I have been struggling to find my go to cleanser...I had almost resigned myself to Wen because I love that stuff and my hair does too...hate the price! TJM has this wall of products and I thought I'd give one a try after reading the ingredients. Prosys organic conditioner is now my fav conditioner for cleansing. That stuff is da bom! My hair feels soft and my scalp feels clean with no additional product and at 10 bucks for 33oz, it's a steal. I'm going back and get all they have.

 

[Coilystep]

Cattypus1 where did you purchase? I have never seen this.

Cattypus1 where did you purchase? I have never seen this.

TJMaxx. I had never heard of it either but like I said I have been looking for my Wen replacement. I'm a PJ so I've tried anything and everything...even Cantu. I love the way Cantu smells but my hair didn't feel or look like I would have liked. I didn't even have to buy the Cantu because my DH loves that stuff and he did, I was glad I didn't. They had a shampoo too but I didn't really want a shampoo.

 

[Coilystep]

I wouldn't get shampoo either. I just use cowash of conditioners

 

[beauti]

Cattypus1 that conditioner is definitely moisturizing..you used it as a cleansing conditioner? I didn't know it was cleansing

I didn't either, I just took a chance and used it that way. I felt great on my scalp and hair and my 4-something hair felt like the proverbial butta that I've heard talk of after I rinsed. It was sooooo incredibly soft. I brought it home and looked it up. Apparently it's been around for a while.

 

[Cattypus1]

stephanie75miller beauti ...there is always a downside Prosys conditioner contains Parabens and Cones. I'm gonna have to rethink this...at least it didn't cost me a fortune.

 

[Coilystep]

Oh no Cattypus1 I try to avoid those.

aw shucks!

 

[beauti]

MissMusic does your flaxseed gel...stink? I made it once and that flaxseed smell stayed in my hair! People rave about it so much and I always wonder how do they cope with the smell

 

[whiteoleander91]

[krissyhair]

Ugh!!! I need help! Finally got my hair braided but the braider did ONE thing that totally ticked me off and now I'm trying to see if there is a way to fix it.

First off, I really like the braids. She did them the size I wanted, she was gentle with my edges, and she did the job for a great price... So what's the problem right?

SHE BURNT MY ENDS!!! I specifically said at the beginning that I did not want my ends burnt. Not sure what happened, must have been because I was there FOREVER and she spaced it but my ends are burnt and now I feel like I'm 12 years old again lol

Does anyone know of any tips to fix this? I was thinking to just cut the burnt tips off and dip in boiling water to set like what should have happened from the get go but then I thought it probably wont solve my problem because now the ends of the braids will be blunt and not look quite right.

If anyone has any advise please share. (and you know I'm posting this in every thread I can think of lol)
