Luscious Healthy Ends Challenge 2025

[keranikki]

My press lasted a week with all this working out I’m doing, lol. I’m currently pre-pooing my hair with The Doux co-wash (not a repurchase), Bask and Lather Hair Oil (not a repurchase), and Infusium 23 Leave-In (staple). I’m trying to use up products I found after my New Year cleaning/organize session.

I have decided to install small braids (no weave) and keep them in for the winter. I will tuck the ends by flat-twisting the braids into a bun.

Perhaps I have overlooked it, but I don't see the link to the product you use to moisturize your hair. Is it in another previous post within this thead?

Thank you for the detail regarding your process.

Ooops, it seems like the linking did not work. Let me look for actual links to the products where I got them

I hope you will be able to see them now. These products definitely work for me, and I think I will buy more from this line

My hair still feels good. But I still want to pampering my ends so I stuck to my schedule. I sprayed my scalp and ends. I tried Mielle leave in one the bottom half of my hair instead of the hair milk. Then I added a bit of water. I just need to make it to Saturday.

So ahm...I want to know why nobody told me that Snoopy had afro textured hair?

You know Snoopy got that bathroom door on LOCK!

Just because he hang out with Charlie Brown and his crew of friends, doesn't mean that
Snoopy can't enjoy his literal and figurative 'ROOTS'.

Do, it Snoopy!

I wonder if he does his hair care routine on Saturdays, or during the day when Charlie Brown
is at school struggling to hear that muffled voice teacher of his.

Afro Puff's Snoopy style, ya'll!



Look at that blow-dry technique, the healthy distance he maintains from the actual fur.


The fur on the tail must be a bit coarser and able to withstand the more intense and closer
proximity of the hot air from the blow dryer.


He loving his private time alone with him and his fur. I think that collar around his neck may be
be causing a bit of thinness of fur in that area.



Look at that expertise he got with the brush, to lay that fur down straight. I didn't see
any heat protectant. So he must be doing something right to avoid heat damage
all these years.

I'm not sure why he's chosen to not wear his natural fur out. Perhaps one day he'll
embrace it publicly as much as he does so privately. But what do I know,
this could be his Private Joy and he just doesn't want to share it with the world.

I’m adding my starting photo for the year. My ends are starting off in good shape and I plan to keep them that way. Bunning for the win!

I got my funnel a few days back. It is much larger than I anticipated and I like the quality. I bought it so I can strain and decant my oils faster and retain more oil. I don't like paper filters as they suck up too much oil and take forever to work.

I will try this out with my next batch of oil. My current batch will probably last about six (6) months. But we'll see. Thus far, I am glad I came upon this by accident and happy that I purchased it. Of course the real test will be when I use it. I feel confidant that it will be a positive experience, too.

Is there a requirement to protective style your hair with this challenge?

Also, how do I learn about the process for sprouting fenugreek?
