I need to find my HG, when I tell you I took a whole entire 3 yr vacation from hair. I truly did lol. I was soo close to BSB and it all broke off/trimmed off, disappeared lol. What are you HG products. I started dabbling in Ayurveda this past wash day. I am itching to make some teas and oils lol.

Shampoo - don't have an HG yet
Moisturizing DC - Mielle Organics Babbassu (sp??) DC (wish it came in a more cost effective size though)
Protein DC - Either a henna gloss or any DC w/ a healthy shot of Green Beauty Real Protein Treatment added
Liquid Leave In - DIY Henna tea
Creamy Leave In/Moisturizer - Mielle Organics Hair Milk
Moisturizer for swangy straight hair - Mane Choice Split End Serum
Scalp Oil - DIY henna oil (still tweaking recipe)
Sealing Butter - DIY whipped butter (still tweaking recipe, planning to make it an ayuervedic whipped butter), 2nd place vatika frosting whenever it arrives :lol:
Styles - Flat twists, braid outs, loose buns with the occasional flat iron when I feel like it

I figured we could just keep the same thread with all of our history and just keep updating the title. For this 2 year session, I plan to grow my nape to TBL. It's struggling a bit. It's very fine and very loose and fragile. I have already seperated it off from the rest of my hair and I keep it in 3 twists. I take them down and retwist them every 2 weeks after I wash.

And yep they will stay twisted until they reach tailbone. LOL

Your hair :drool:

I want to do something similar to my crown but I have no idea what. It's my most loose/fragile/shortest area and will break if you breeve on it too hard. :nono: Lately when I do my two flat twists, I leave that area loose and after my twists are done, I just gently bobby pin those areas into the twist so there isn't as much tension. I'm hoping that will help me retain more in that area.

I also realized that area will get hydral fatigue in a heartbeat, which is why I tend to avoid wet buns. When I wet bun, that area is smack dab in the middle of the bun and therefore never fully dries. Being wet all day is too much for that section and I end up having some breakage.

How many sections do you wash in? I noticed most do 4, but that can cause a lot of tension at the crown and lower middle section too.
 
I had to show yall how I cleaned out my jar of cp henna shea butter cream. This jar was filled to the brim and I literally scraped the sides and bottoms to get to every smear! :lol: I'm making more tonight

My mom used to do my hair with Vaseline and hot comb. The only heat damage I remember was the infrequent time when it was too hot and she'd have to cut out those few strands -- three hair turned light brown because it was charred. We never did a blowout first. I really wouldn't know what the proper techniques would be nor what to look for in a stylist.

Have you looked into the Revlon blow dryer brush thing?

I tried it on my sister's hair and it is worth the hype. It makes blow drying very easy and quick. Just a thought!

Do you know why it struggles? My nape is the same way. It' been sitting at my collarbone for 2 years.

@Taleah2009 do you plan on sealing with this butter? If so, I wouldnt add msm, it can be drying. How does your cream smell? Mine smells like mint chocolate! :love:

Hhmm I didn't think about. I forgot I planned to make the shea buttter with the oil. Thanks for the reminder! Maybe I blend that up and the. Add the msm to the remaining oil to use for my scalp. Mines smiles like chocolate too!

I just remembered I forgot to add some castor oil. Shoot I'll do that in a minute

I can't wait!! I'll give the oil one more day to summer and marinate and I'll make the butter tomorrow. I have a big ole bag of shea butter that has just been sitting.

Eta: just checked the shelf life of my shea butter and it has expired. Dang I'm going to have to order some more
