1:41 am and I am finally done with Step 3. It takes an hour to get the product through her hair for each step. I have wrapped her head in saran wrap and she's down for the night. I feel so awful because she looks over my shoulder while I watch YTube videos. She helps with making products and everything. She's never expressed much interest in having her hair done until she saw my hair yesterday. She's so excited about her hair and I am on pins and needles that she won't be pleased. I don't see the possibility of curls without a twist out.

Meanwhile, my 19 year is old is done with is treatment and is very pleased. He just walked in and told me he's doing it again in two days because his curls are not defined. I just yelled at the 18 year old as he walked in at 1:44 am talking about, "What I need to do?".

I wish my girls, well atleast my older two who are 11 and 9, would be interested in trying the method. I have 4 girls, 6 kids altogether and my 1-yr old has special needs so though I would love to do it on my girls (and even my oldest son), I just don't have the time. Thank God their hair is healthy and I'm not having any issues but I am interested in seeing if doing MHM would make things even better. Maybe one day...

Btw, hello from one fellow homeschooler to another :grin:

I know this is the MHM thread but I have been doing MHM only since November and I wish I had a pic from pre-MHM but the only comparison pic I have is from August. At the time I started MHM I was doing twistouts and breaking hair every time during the smoothing process. Since MHM I am primarily a WNG girl and I'm attaching pics...check out the difference between August And now I'm retaining length...I can do this!

Congratulations you made really good progress.

I'm trying to encourage my DGD to continue. I tried to give her a small taste of what her hair would look like and she was impressed initially. After her hair was completely dry she lost all definition. I didn't use any gel because I wanted her to feel the softness, I guess she's going to need some gel. She was patient with the shortened version. You really have your hands full. Good luck with your little people.
 
Ladies,
I am interested in purchasing the Q-Redew hand held steamer. Do any of you have any experience with it or recommend it?
 
I did another style today with this regimen. I hope to get a week out of this. My leave in is kckt. My hair felt so slippery. I add water to the leave in. I topped it with a cream and a little bit of flaxseed gel. image-2909315165.jpg

I love this regimen.

I haven't tried one. I've been looking up cheaper 'multi purpose' hand held options though. tashboog did a good review of the Q-Redew either early on in this thread, or the previous MHM thread.

trebell how did you like the gel? Are you able to compare it to another gel like KCCC? I bought it once and returned it after reading poor reviews. I should just try it because I LOVE the entire line. Sent from my SM-N900V using LHCF

Okay about the products the lady used. She's now on day 10 of her wash and go. But, she said she actually just bought the kccc today. And once she tries it she'll let me know how it compares.

I love this! Are you going to undo the curls?

Can we substitute the KCNT for kimmaytube recipe? Cause at 12.00 a bottle the KCNT is getting expensive

I usually make a mix with the KK leave in. Water, lavender and Rosemary oil. It last me forever. The extra water helps it penetrate the strands also. But you can definitely use the kimmy tube leave in.

KiwiStyle,
You hit the nail on the head. My son just woke up ten minutes ago (11:00am) to head to class and I am not kidding you, the first thing he did was look at his curls. This is hilarious. He made me look at them too and then said he can't wait to do it again. Of course its incredibly easy for him, his hair is short. I forgot to have his start with the CLT so I will get a banana today and as soon as it is over ripe I will have him do that one.

Meanwhile, little girl is still asleep with clay on her hair. She sat through three different one hour sessions!! Incredible for a little girl Never complained, just looking forward to her curls. If her curls don't appear, and I don't believe they will, I have decided to pin my hair up so she doesn't have to keep looking at my curls. My day two hair was so full and pretty. I couldn't believe it was actually my hair.

I am going to try my hand at my first flax seed gel concoction or start trying to make my own butters. My daughter's hair is he one that is going to break me. Her hair is so thick and long. Are there any aryuvedic powders that can stretch the clay? It looks like I will have to budget for one tub of clay and one TJTTC (I used Tresseme on her hair for the first step and assuming I continue with TJTTC) weekly which would run me about $10.00/wk.Well, maybe that's not so bad for two heads of hair for a month....let me run my numbers again.

You're such a good mommy! I understand how you feel about DD and making sure she remains confident with her own head of beautiful curls. When I decided to transition back to natural, I would tell my 11 yr. Old DD how I hope my hair is as beautiful as hers is (she's 4b or something). Continue to tell her to be patient with the regimen and even if her hair isn't as curly as yours, point out how beautiful and unique her hair is, she'll be fine . I take every chance I get to swoon over DD's hair...you can't tell her a darn thing now.

I agree with you, as long as their hair is healthy, I wouldn't bother...you have plenty of taking care of to do, why rock the boat unless you really want to. I'm only doing the treatment on my hair, I can't be doing my DD's hair all the time, she has way too much hair for that. If she decides later that she want to try the regimen based on my results then maybe but until then, no way am I going to offer to do it .

Good!
I don't want to muff this up
 
Anyone not wet their hair on 2nd and 3rd day hair? I woke up today and decided not to wet my hair, but just fluff and I got bigger but a still defined fro. It also has more of a natural shape because I slept on it and whatnot.

Your second picture is freaking me out. Is there a door affixed between your head or it's just my phone?

It's day 4 and my twist still feel very moisturized which is rare but I'm happy :yep:

Not sure if its because my hair is more hydrated or its because of the way I sealed. I let my hair dry and then twisted the front with MHC type 4 hair cream, followed by a little gel. I will try sealing like this again at the end of this week.

1. My scalp itches sometimes but it's not bad. 2. I did MHM for the first time back in June and seeing all the hairs in the sink during the gel application was bothering me so I stopped. I started back in October and instead of raking in the gel, I started smoothing it in and saw less hairs. I smooth and rake now and while there are still some hairs in the sink, it's not a whole lot. I'm retaining length like never before so it doesn't bother me. 3. Haven't had any issue with tangling while doing the clay step.

My scalp itching over the last week has been insane which I've determined is because the baking soda is drying out my scalp. I've decided to start oiling my scalp inbetween washes every evening with my JBCO mix. I'm also going to reduce baking soda to 1 tsps and ordered Castile soap.

I tried my now European clay yesterday and the tangling was greatly reduced so the ghassoul was definitely causing tangling. I have 5 jars though so I will have to find a way to make it work. Will be mixing with the now clay going forward.

I guess the hair loss was from ghassoul tangling my hair. I also think I'm imagining over moisturised hair. Have a cherry lola treatment this weekend for a quick protein fix just in case.

You may want to just lay off the baking soda all together. Unless you were using too much or not watering it down enough, your scalp shouldn't be itching.

It's very possible that as you switch up step 1, the ghassoul may work better for you. What are you using for step 2?
