Re: I am adopting LadyPanialo's reggie.. Deep Moisture Method, Wig and ALL for 12 mon

Well last week I took down my cornrows and I had a lot of shedding. I think it was due to the MT, Ovation, WGO combo I was using on my scalp. Once I got all the shed hairs out I realized I didnt loose any thickness in fact it was even thicker than normal. I am loving this PC style. I get too tickled when I cowash and my cornrows are APL (which means my hair is longer then APL). I almost bust my arse dancing in the shower!

Anyway here is to round two. Happy growing ladies.
 
Re: I am adopting LadyPanialo's reggie.. Deep Moisture Method, Wig and ALL for 12 mon

Question:
This past Friday, I washd, DC'd and DCM my hair using Joico K-Pak and Infusium 23. My question is this. For you ladies sealing with castor oil/thicker/heavier oils, what is your method? I sealed with Cator oil and my hair became very...hard to handle as I braided. It was soft, but it clumped together, even though I'd detangled moments before. Did I use to much? Should the oil be heated up a bit before applying it to me damp hair?
Thanks!
 
Re: I am adopting LadyPanialo's reggie.. Deep Moisture Method, Wig and ALL for 12 mon

^^ Hey KBD! I seal with shea butter (SB) when I'm braiding and the DC/SB mixure also makes my hair a little hard to handle when I'm braiding. I haven't been worried about it at all though, because even though the cornrows are a little "hard" for the first couple of days, they eventually soften up and my hair is obviously very moisturized. I think it's just a function of the amount of product on the braids....I wouldn't worry about it too much.

As you suggested, you could melt down the butter or oil a bit and see if that makes a difference, but I think that would only affect your ability to braid it a bit easier, and won't change the effectiveness of the DMM.

HTH!
 
Re: I am adopting LadyPanialo's reggie.. Deep Moisture Method, Wig and ALL for 12 mon

Hey Ladies,

Its been a month and i took my beehive cornnows down this past weekend. I didnt loose as much hair as I thoguht i would. I also Henna'd for added strength. Im going to continue this for six month. I feel like my hair grew alot. I grease my scalp more since i have more access to it. Loving this challenge so far!!
 
Re: I am adopting LadyPanialo's reggie.. Deep Moisture Method, Wig and ALL for 12 mon

Am I the only one NOT using a wig cap? :look: I cut the combs out then I secure the halfwig using hair pins. My scalp feels like it can breathe without the wigcap and it's also the only reason why I know that I will be able to do this challenge for a year! :yep:

I have to admit to sometimes not wearing my wig cap either. I do exactly what you do- I cut the combs out of my wigs and secure with pins and/or the wig drawstring only. I work from home, so usually when I do this, it's only for a couple of hours when I run out to pick up the kids or something. So it's not all day. I haven't suffered any setbacks from it, so far so good!

Do you feel any friction on your edges?
 
Re: I am adopting LadyPanialo's reggie.. Deep Moisture Method, Wig and ALL for 12 mon

Just checking in. Last night I did my shampoo and DC,but this time I decided to try a jar of Soft Sheen Carson Roots of Nature Shea Butter Green Tea Reconstructing Deep Treatment andOMG my hair feels AMAZING even in the braids!!! My NG is so soft it's bananas! And to think I got it on the clearance rack at Sally's for like $2.50. I'm going back tomorrow and RACK UP!!!

I don't use wig caps either. The hump in the beehive braids kind of holds the wig in place. I haven't cut out the combs but I don't stick them in my hair either.
 
Re: I am adopting LadyPanialo's reggie.. Deep Moisture Method, Wig and ALL for 12 mon

Okay, I just took down my beehive and woo my hair feels good to be free. I will wear my hair "out" for a couple of days...I like the air on my scalp. Will edit to post pic after I charge my battery.
 
Re: I am adopting LadyPanialo's reggie.. Deep Moisture Method, Wig and ALL for 12 mon

Hey ladies!! Hope all is well. I have been cowashing my hair every night, now it's time for a wash. I'm prepooing with Vatika Oil under my wig for the day and will shampoo and d/c my flat twists tonight. I'm also rocking a new wig by Sensationnel this week and will post pix today or tom...Lastly I'm thinking of purchasing some face fronts, any suggestions on brands with a natural looking hair line?
 
Re: I am adopting LadyPanialo's reggie.. Deep Moisture Method, Wig and ALL for 12 mon

Hey guys. I've been gone from this challenge for a while but I'm still attempting to use the method. I now have kinky twists. I tried to use the DMM method but my hair drys so fast that all of it wasn't wet. Its been almost two weeks and I'm going to wash them soon. I will DC with Aussie Conditioner-Moist I think. For any of you who use Aussie conditioners for your dc which type should I get?

I will keep this twists in for another month and then its off to wigs. I already have my wig head and brush. I can't wait to get this twists out although they are cute.

Re: I am adopting LadyPanialo's reggie.. Deep Moisture Method, Wig and ALL for 12 mon

I am still doing the dmm technique but I am not leaving my hair braided up for weeks at a time because I am using boundless tresses a few times a week on my scalp and ayurveda cowashes and hair pastes twice weekly on my hair.

The good thing is these practices are leaving my hair so soft that I rarely need to comb it. I have mostly been using my fingers to detangle.

Today I wore my texlaxed hair in a wash and go and it felt good to have my hair out for a minute. It is however back under my wig tomorrow. I got a lot of compliments on my hair today.

My friends were saying how cute it looked and that I should wear it out more often. I told them, "Nah, not yet" :grin:. I'll wear it out more often when I make APL again I think.
 
Re: I am adopting LadyPanialo's reggie.. Deep Moisture Method, Wig and ALL for 12 mon

Lesson Learned and Warning to the Fine hair ladies....

My last DMM session was done immediately after washing on soaking wet hair and that led to breakage for me. When I took my hair down this weekend and finger detangled broken hair were everywhere. It's been years since I've had that shock.

I'm not ready to ditch the method yet. Next time I'll just allow my hair to dry after washing...finger detangle...spritz with rose H20...then my DMM conditioner. Normally my hair hates sealing so I'll assume the same in this case. No oils or heavy emollients will be applied on top of the conditioner.

Caution: if you are cowashing that often, you will need to take your cornrows down way earlier or they may mat/dred up.

Sounds like you need more protein. My hair isn't fine but I get the breakage you described when I go too long w/o an Aphogee treatment.
 
Re: I am adopting LadyPanialo's reggie.. Deep Moisture Method, Wig and ALL for 12 mon

I just applied some boundless tresses to my scalp and Aussie Moist Conditioner for my DMM sealed with shealoe butter.
 
Re: I am adopting LadyPanialo's reggie.. Deep Moisture Method, Wig and ALL for 12 mon

LadyPaniolo

I dont remember if you mentioned this, but you only do the DMM when you braid your hair, right? You don't redo this every so often while in braids?
 
Re: I am adopting LadyPanialo's reggie.. Deep Moisture Method, Wig and ALL for 12 mon

I did a co-wash with VO5 conditioner and final co-wash with Tigi Bedhead Moisture Maniac and all I can say is..... :wow:
My braids loved it and my hair is so plumped up afterwards! i'm going to keep it simpler from now on!
Time to head off to youtube!
 
Re: I am adopting LadyPanialo's reggie.. Deep Moisture Method, Wig and ALL for 12 mon

I'm taking my braids out tonight and tomorrow I'll prepoo, DC, use Aphogee 2 min and braid back up. I've had them in for 2 weeks this time. Not too bad. i might try to go for 3 this time.
 
Re: I am adopting LadyPanialo's reggie.. Deep Moisture Method, Wig and ALL for 12 mon

Not sure of the name, but I just told the lady at my local BSS to find me one that touched a little pasted my bra strap in the back...she return with this wig. When I take it off tonight I'll check the inside for a tag or name.

Re: I am adopting LadyPanialo's reggie.. Deep Moisture Method, Wig and ALL for 12 mon

Sorry the above was actually in reply to a question asked.

I'm still wearing the same half wig and have been in my latest braids for two weeks. I washed my hair and conditioned this past Saturday. I didn't flatiron my hair in front this week, as I'm just wearing it pulled back under my half wig with a "cut wig cap" as a headband. This way, I'm not applying heat on the regular. I also purchased two new half wigs last week. I think they're both Full MBL. The one I'm currenly wearing is actually BSL.

74 days until BSL Goal deadline
211 days until MBL deadline
