Re: JC Penny\'s Salon visit #3
Thanks everyone. I just had to show the results so that you would know why hair steamers seem to be a good thing. We at the LHCF have to continue to be in the know about what potentially might be good for our hair.
Kaela, Lee & Crownnglori: I'm always more than glad to share. Enjoy the buns I'll try and post more as they come to mind.
Nonie: Your time is up and coming. I don't know if you are a part of the bun challenge but here's a
link that might help with creativity and buns.
Mindymouse: I brought all the products mentioned except for the Keracare foam. She was concerned about using customer products (per policy) but I told her I would take responsibility for them.
Allandra:
your steamer awaits you ...
DSD & Mindymouse: I'm not transitioning at present....just wanting to stretch out relaxing times. I probably get relaxed before I past 4 months.
Lee: I'm presently part of the "Bun challenge". My regimen for the past 3 wks have been to get my hair done solely at JC's once a week. The reason being because of the hair steamer not because of any one of the stylist. This is what I've had done in the past 3wks:
Wk 1: Their shampoo followed by a deep conditioning w/Dudley's hair rebuilder (I had requested a moisturizing tx). Roller set w/Paul Mitchell Mousse and dried under hood dryer. Went home and rines mousse out and bunned hair.
Wk 2: Their shsmpoo, Dudley's DRC w/Dudley's hair rebuilder under steamer about 10 mins. I put Giovanni's Direct leave-in and/or Aubrey Organics' Jojoba & Aloe as a leave-in followed by WGO before stylist used Dudley's setting lotion. She tried to wrap 1st but couldn't get it right (breaking off my hair) so I told her to roller set. I later wrapped and then bunned it.
Wk 3: Their shampoo (I requested to clarify after she started to shampoo but she said it was a clarifier after looking to find a clarifier.
) LUST mixed w/Moisturefuse (old recipe) then steamer for about 15-20 mins (Sylist didn't know how to operate). I put in Giovanni's direct leave-in and WGO before stylist put Keracare Foam on my hair. Hair combed back then dryed under hood dryer, coiled into a bun.
So far 3 different stylist have done my hair because I wasn't satisfied with the techniques of the 2 previous stylist at JC's. 1st one cut off more hair than I requested. 2nd one didn't know who to wrap without rip out my hair and charge me extra d/t hair length (not so w/1st or 3rd one.). 3rd one has some more learning to do but I'm willing to with her (I tipped her). I won't be trusting anyone there to do my relaxers though. So beware!
Edited to add:
I have been using my spray bottle when needed in between visits to the salon. Spray bottle = 1 part Wonder Gro Shea Butter oil, 1 part Giovonni's Direct leave'in, 2 parts distilled water with a little Aloe Vera Gel at present. Sometimes I following up WGO when needed.
I plan to make my next concoction w/distilled water, Aubrey's organics Jojoba & Aloe Conditioner, and WGO. That is until I can get around to ordering some CD HHB.
