MHM Hangout

Hey guys! My hair is a hot mess. I have been sick since last Sunday...found out on Tuesday that I have pneumonia . I dragged myself to shampoo and do a clay treatment on Saturday. I "may" have gotten sick from going out with a soak n wet head everyday with all this funny weather but I don't know. Now I'm terrified to go out with a wet head which means I'll have to dry under the Pibbs from now on. My fever is completely gone now and I'm getting some energy back!! Hopefully I can get back to living in a few day and deal with my hair and prepare a meal for my family. Be careful with the wet heads...I wouldn't wish pneumonia on my worst enemy.
 
My hair was feeling a little wiry so wanted to add some moisture (I think I was still feeling the overload from forgetting to do a moisturising condish directly after my last protein session, plus I did keep it on a little longer than recommended:nono:).

On my Saturday wash, I ground up some hibiscus and added that to my rhassoul/bentonite (3:1) clay. I also steeped some marshmallow root as well as some hibiscus and used the liquids to mix my clay. I still added the silk amino acids because I love how it makes my hair feel.

Today, my hair feels back to its (now normal) moisturised self- soft and springy, instead of hard/wiry.

Glad your feeling better.

image.jpg image.jpg Thank you I was looking for this thread. How is everyone doing? It seems after the upgrade I haven't really navigates to the all the forums. I've been trying to grow my taper cut out so I've been wearing protective styles for a while. I wore my hair out this week. I guess I did the modification mhm. I just did the clay with acv, water, castor and coconut oil. Then did leave in with gel. I water down my kckt conditioner but it's making my hair flaky, what do I do?

I suspect it's the castor oil.

Start from the beginning. Clarify with a sulfate-free clarifying shampoo, do the Cherry Lola treatment, finish the reggie using approved products only (bc this is a test) and tell us what happens from there.
 
Washed my hair today. Instead of a little ACV, I used a little hibiscus tea and water to mix my clay. So glad my hair is finally feels back to normal after my dabbling session.

I will try to wash every 3 days. There was a fair amount of shed hair today. Not difficult to remove...just endless.
 
I did a water rinse and then conditioned with the Tresemme Undone. As long as I just condition every now and then my hair seems fine. Conditioning too often though was leaving me with hard and dry hair. I will use clay next wash without the conditioner.
 
Butters-N-Bars is having a 25% off everything (except bulk shea butter) sale until midnight today (7/17/15)! Stock up on some clay ladies. Use coupon code OOPS7015.

I already have so much clay, but its not like it expires. I want to try Australian Ivory clay and sodium bentonite to compare to the calcium bentonite I've been using.
 
Update on my MHM journey: I'm trying DubaiDee's simplified method after not having done MHM at all since last year in September. Although I haven't done it since then, I kept reading this thread and her blog to remind me to get back on the wagon. A few days ago I clarified with AO swimmers shampoo, then a day later I did an overnight calcium bentonite clay treatment followed by KCCC to seal. My coils were popping on the ends, even though I am nowhere near max hydration. Since then I've been water rinsing and reapplying gel as needed.

Glad to have you join us. It has been getting a little quite in here lately.

I'm having a hilarious debate on yt. So, there's a yt'er who claims to have modified the method to make it shorter. But all she did was reverse steps 2 and 3 (dc and clay, hers is clay then dc). I'm like, but wait, that don't even make sense, tho. o_O

who is it?
 
So, I hope it's ok that I need to ask a question even though I am not doing modMHM for a few more days. I'm in the process of combing out my locs :pepper: Any recommendations for a sulfate free, clarifying shampoo? I know it's not approved but I know I read someone is shampooing......? Once I'm all combed out, I'm thinking a good shampoo, CLT, clay wash & some KCCC are in order.
Other question: What slippery additives are people adding to their clay? and where do you get them?
