Well good going. If you haven't done the baking soda, it doesn't look like your hair is missing it. Your hair is looking great
. You've got me wondering how long (excluding your break) you've been doing the regimen (sorry if you've alredy mentioned). Your texture looks similar to mine but your hair looks thicker and you have way more hydration/definition than me. I'm being a proper nerd at the mo- keeping track of how many wash cycles I do and any problems I encounter, for future reference.HopefulOne

I did another cycle using the coconut milk and I love it. It makes it so thick and creamy and easier to rinse out. There isn't any gritty feel like I had with water, honey and olive oil.

I was in a sew in for almost three months .. (Yeah I know)
So back in November I started the MHM then I got a sew in for 3 months and I took it out 2 days ago and did the mhm twice already.
I'm going to do it for a third time tomorrow morning and then go in later in the day for a wash, cut and blow out.
I desperately need a hair cut by a professional.
The clay step is like pixie dust .. It's just so magical.
So my hair is halfway dry and I put it in some bantu knots.. I'm just playing around with it now.

Yes, that hair is something special. How often are you doing the full regi?

Getting some coconut milk next time I'm out. Are you using just the coconut milk and the clay or are you mixing something else with it?

No judgement here
. I also would keep my braids/ crochet/ twists in for months at a time (at least 3) with ease lol. I once kept pick and drop braids in for a year and a half (I think just because I was too lazy to find someone else to braid it for me again). I would just redo the braids one by one to remove shed hair and to stop them from doing that 'hanging on by threads' look.

I am using bentonite or rhassoul with honey and coconut milk. I don't add any water. I am also going to try it with molasses which I like.

I have that book...gonna have to look it up, thanks for the info. I bought some coconut milk about 10 minutes ago. Going for it tomorrow.

You're welcome! Be careful with the olive oil...I don't know why she uses 1/2 cup per 1 cup of clay. I'm thinking it was a typo.

I couldn't wait to try milk/clay combo tonight. I thought I was gonna DC overnight...but I decided to do the clay tonight/this morning instead. It's 2am now, but I'm a night owl so I don't mind.
I used more bentonite than rhassoul (3 heaped spoons:2 sort of level spoons), the smallest dash of ACV, a bit of molasses and milk. The mix was super thick (realised I could've used less clay) and took a lot to mix it properly, even with my chopstick. It did feel different going on- creamy. I'll sleep in it. We'll see if I'm still smiling when I wake up
ETA: I also used cayenne in my clay.

Same here, my curls pop after the clay step, but frizz up a little after applying my products. I figure there is no way around it..

I throw mine in the washer and reuse them until the elastic wears out. A pack of 100 usually last me all year. You can also use plastic wrap. I've seen DubaiDee use it in her page.

I thought it was just me. Tonight I super diluted my leave in until it was watery and it didn't frizz. I'm still playing around with this step though.

Same here. Just be careful because the ink on the bag can bleed. It comes out of fabric easily though.

I use one per session. I don't wear a cap for step 1 and I use the same one for the DC and the clay step. I was just thinking tonight that I want to be frugal enough reuse my bags.

I use cling film. Each box lasts about 2 months going through the process 3 times a week.

My gel is ready and going to try it tomorrow. Very excited. The first batch I made sucked. The second batch looks really good and smells nice. I used lavender oil for fragrance.

I completely ran out of EVERYTHING yesterday and had to DC with whatever around the house. Thank goodness coco milk is a staple that I use not only in my hair but also to cook my rice, my creamy curry etc
I after literally scraping conditioner from every bottle under my bathroom sink I mixed it with coco milk and honey for my DC.
Had to skip the clay step cause after having my rhassoul for 18 months this MHM reggie used it all up in the last 3!
Leave-in with watered down KCKT and sealed with my homemade cocoshealoe mix.
My hair is soft and conditioned and moisturized but pulled back into a low pony puff. I've reached the point in my winter where I refuse to go outside with wet hair! I'll probably braid or bantu if I find the time this weekend!
