How you doin? To those who all ready know me..heyyy!!

I've been really boring with my hair, doing the SAME OLD THING! I've subscribed back and ready to learn again.

My hairs still near-enough waistlength, but STILL an off-red colour, i really want to find something permanent to dye my hair with thats not damaging. i've heard about Indigo on anouther hair site, but i'm not sure hwo safe it is to use on black peoples-relaxed hair??

Those of you who dont know me, HI!! :D
I was on here for 2 years, and grew my hair from collar-bone to waistlength in around a year and a half-2 years.

KINICAKES!!!!! YOUR HAIR HAS GROWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWNNNN OH MY DAYS! I might have to ask you some advice on your henna dying thing u go goin on! your hairs amazing.

SARECA!! hey chick, i hear you are the queen of henna and indigo? help me ?! lol

heres a recent pic...

its not as dark as it looks, and an adore rinse i used not long ago rinsed out in about 1 wash lol! MY HAIR IS SO NON-POUROUS...its not always a good thing. THAT AMLA OIL is still my friend...and so is my darling KERACARE. I have the HUMECTO tub, you guys are correct thats its much thicker...its great.

I honestly dont do anything specialto my hair (as usual) still water spritzing, and coconut oil. its stil lgrowing, much slower than when iwas @ brasteap though. My goal is still hiplength. I'm not near waistlength @ the front yet, its underneath my boob (sorry!) which is about brastrap @ the front. I stil dont trim, only the splits, and my hairs as thick as ever.

So if anyone wants to give or recieve any tips from/to me...let me know!

ps. i dont use heat, i use it less than ever
pps. my hair hardly ever gets combed lol, its too much WORK!
ppps. i dont use topical growth aids...i dont disasgree with them though, i dont use em cos i never comb my hair! hehe
pppps. I actually now distribute a conditioner i made (avocado - remember me ravin about that??) and its doing quite well! I still always use it. And i still wash once a week, btu i might increase it after being on here for 5minutes! i remember how many benfits i had when washing every 4-5 days!!!

So just thought i'd pass thru and say hey...

tell me what it do

have i missed anything?

mwah

Welcome back Candy_C!
You've had some good growth!

I'm sure indigo is safe. It's most effective used after henna. I think Sareca is an expert on henna/indigo :)

Enchantment: hey! sorry bout the mix up last year - you know i couldnt keep away for much longer!

Tia - i went to my local beauty queens and told them to get it otherwise i wont be coming to them again!!! lol my friend owns the place so i can be fiesty with him liek that. But you can go to you local black hair product provider in the town/city and ask them to order you the large tub. If they can get it in my town they must in yours! i live in a village lol!!

Indigo is easy to use, and I love the jet black color it gives...it can be messy, but to me it's soooo worth it!

My hair is finally happy and healthy, growing all the time! :D

the kind that can be used for hair, it's not hard to find.

Do you mix anything in with it?
I just use water and amla oil, others mix it with pectin to make a smoother paste.

Does it dry the hair?
I also use henna with it, and yes, that can make your hair crunchy dry...a deep conditioner is in order afterwards.

Are you relaxed?
Yes ma'am, I am! :grin:
