MHM Hangout

I want to wash tonight but I know I have better things to do with my time. I'm also planning on cycling tomorrow so I would have to wash tomorrow as well. Soon the back will be long enough for a puff so I can wash it when I want :yep:
 
So over the past few days I have been lightly spraying my hair with water, applying CM twist butter and grape seed oil. Although I have to do this at least twice to three times per day depending on the weather and how much I've been out in the sun, my hair is behaving well. I was under the impression that you can't moisturize over gel all these months. My new plan is to scrunch out the gel when it hardens, spritz with water, apply the twist butter and oil for sheen. .I guess I should see how the curl milk works too.

Im just happy I don't have hard and crunch and untouchable hair now. Hopefully sustaining moisture and hydration throughout the day will increase my overall hydration level.

Cosign. :yep: I'm doing my 7 day challenge (finally!) and my hair is popping. I replaced my step 1 (shampoo) with the ol' acv mix and am quite pleased.

I only took post cut/ pre wash pics cuz I really was not expecting to be able to post them. :yawn: We'll see.

Look at those curls!
 
Full MHM yesterday. The clay step was weird because my latest shipment of Rhassoul from B&B was different from the others. It was very dark and did not rinse cleanly. My curl former set was mildly successful. I had to try it again today after a cowash. It's birthday hair so I'm praying for "good" hair today! I will definitely post pics if I think I'm cute!

Well...it was never as cute as I think I ought to be, not picture worthy but next go round I wil use PM super skinny while my hair is wet to help with reversion. Not a total bust though.
 
I did a quick clay rinse yesterday and just threw a bunch of products in my hair to get out the door.

Tonight I water rinsed and then sealed with oil and a Shea butter blend.

I keep thinking about water rinsing more but definitely not feeling like it.

Can you list everything you used? I don't use leave-ins or styling products with glycerin. I also use a setting lotion under the PM SSS so it'll last. It should be better when you use the serum, that stuff is magical!,

When did you order the clay? I just ordered 5lbs during the last sale; I hope its not like that or I'm sending it back. My hair is super coily and things set up shop in my hair if it doesn't rinse easily.
 
Hey guys, i just made a thread about this, but have you guys noticed that conditioner frizzes up and shrinks up your hair? I noticed there was a huge difference after using aussie moist shampoo and then conditioning, and then cowashing again this morning.

After shampoo, my hair was curly and hanging, but after conditioner it resembled an undefined afro.

I know Dubai Dee talked about this.

Are yall using other stuff to condition/detangle?

I cowashed with Hello Hydration and DC-ed with NG Marshmallow Root... Condish, no leave-in.
I used DE foam diluted with water. It looked fine when I took the curl formers out but it began shrinking as I was getting dressed. Pulling the curls apart started the frizz. Next time I'm going full strength on the DE foam and I will apply the PM SSS on top while my hair is wet and see if that helps.

I stopped using conditioner earlier this year. I lost curl definition with conditioner so I let it go. I just use the clay for conditioning and I use conditioner every now and then.

I stopped using conditioner as well, my hair has never felt better! I really need to find a good gel though cause I haven't mastered flaxseed gel yet.

That should do it but even still, don't expect straight hair all day. I just use CF to stretch or if I only need her hair to last less than a day.
 
I mildly shampooed my hair last night (due to experimenting with some ghee lol) and used a protein conditioner for about 15 mins. I followed with a mix and blend of AO HSR and AO WC for a couple of hours (sheer laziness), without heat, wrapped in cling film.

OMG when I washed that conditioner out, my hair felt amazing. I will say that it has been my best conditioner experience to date on this HHJ. My hair felt soft and moisturised and clean. It didn't feel coated at all. I will keep this as my after-protein mix....until I can get my hands on that NG Marshmallow Root DC:look:.

I still followed with my clay (habits of the regimen) because I'd already mixed it up but my hair felt so good and 'clean', I contemplated not using it.

It's probably a bit too humid and warm for curlformer. Try it again in October when the weather has cooled. I found the fewer products I use with a set the better. So I usually just rinse and set or use a tea spritz. My set woukd last for 3 days before I would sweat it out.

Girl, please, that crap didn't stay anywhere close to straight for 15 minutes! I could watch it shrink and poof! Oh well, I'm doing my best Coffy imitation today. My hair decided to stand up and I just let it.

What is in your tea spritz? I'm definitely going to take your advice on the wait.

I'm so sorry for laughing, Lol. That sounds like my very first set with DD. She was so happy to have straight and curly hair...I had her wash up and when she walked out the bathroom...talk about PRICELESS!!! She fell out crying when i had her look in the mirtor and it took everything in me to keep from laughing in her face. If you keep at it, you'll get better...like in the Fall like FaithVA said.

Last time I used the Natural Oasis tea bags. It's an herb and flower blend. Not really sure what's in it.

I think any tea blend would work. My hair doesn't seem to be partial to tea. I just use it because I have it on hand.
 
DH complimented my Twistout the other day so I'm doing it again. I've decided to use the new clay again just to see.
Did a modified MHM...Clarify with Ouidad Superfruit Clarifying Shampoo, DC with NG Herbal Blends (warmed). I put the clay on top of the conditioner and then rinsed. The clay was still very dark and the texture very fine. It made a runny mixture and I made sure to rinse very well. My hair was so soft and curly. It rinsed pretty cleanly. Using my DE foam to twist and air dry overnight.
 
I've been steady MHM'ing, doing the whole thing every other day or so. I'm ready to leave conditioner behind yet, but I don't use l-i every time, so I'm testing the theory.

Anyway... I'm having a little problem. I have a scarf that's my boo, an old stand by, been with me for decades, silk, I love it. Sadly, it has died. So I've been using my back up, but its not comfortable. The knot is mad big. It gives me a headache. And so I've been sleeping without a scarf on a cotton pillow case. :eek: I know, yall, I'm wrong, but it feels so right. :lol: And here's the weird part: my hair actually looks better, fluffier, and stretched.

:scratchchin:
