By the way, last time I washed, I used 1/2 teaspoon baking soda and nearly took my scalp off with a rake before the next morning so bye bye to baking soda for me. Moving on to Castile soap and conditioner.

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..

aharri23 I see lots of people who has frizz free hair after the clay step. Maybe we haven't reached that point yet in our journey, keep working at it because I will.

For all of you who use plastic caps/shower caps for each step, do you re-use your plastic caps? I am going through so many plastic caps! I mean they aren't expensive but I don't wanna have to buy them every week

I reuse until it looks bad, I probably get 2-3 uses from one cap depending on what I used it for. If I overnight DC, it goes in the trash.
I use trash bags during steps 1&3.

Wow, I hope your scalp is feeling better now. What's your Castile soap recipe?

Have you tried no leave in and let you curls dry?
 
I have an interview on Tuesday so I am doing my MHM every day until Monday to make sure my curls are on point in the atmosphere where a straightened style might be expected. Wish me luck
 
I did my hair last night but didn't like the way it turned out. So I'm doing it again but this time im doing a protein treatment first and will do a quick cowash before using the clay.

I will see if I can truly replace my protein with clct.
 
OK I think I want to try this. Lady wash day I did something similar by accident ( hair was dirty so I did an acv pre poo, left conditioner in to long after washing and had to do a clay wash)
How do you do mhm during protective styles? I plan to leave my hair braided under wigs for 4-6 weeks at a time

I recommend you just do it in between. Just try to keep your hair moisturized while in the style. Don't go weeks on end without water rinsing or cowashing.

No never lol I couldnt my scalp would rebel. Maybe I could do all the steps severely watered down that way less chance of anything getting caught in my hair
 
I buy those silver self- heating shower caps and use them till the silver wears off and longer lol. I also tend to use carrier bags for my DC/ clay, which contains the drips much better.

After sleeping in the clay, my hair felt normal washing it out. I messed up adding aloe vera juice to my leave in (I don't know why, I know what it does to my hair:nono:. My hair started frizzing up. I abandoned that mix for when I am wiggin it.

Anyway I applied wheatgerm oil and castor oil after my leave-in, and sealed with diluted KCCC. My hair feels really soft, but is still damp in the middle. The rest is dry. I think I will try either of the milk options again.

ETA: Corrections, plus I slept with my head loose and uncovered last night:blush: and today I have that wondrous second day volume I lust after. It's also still soft. I was told it smells of cake:lol: (I guess that's not a bad thing).
Will repeat the regimen today.

The protein worked fine so I may use it versus the clct. No real change in my definition after rinsing. It looked good with the clay on. So starting next weekend I'm going to see if I notice a difference in my final results based on what I do for step 1.

I had better definition at least once last month but I don't remember what I did. So not sure if its what I'm doing in step 1 or if it was when I was using the Jessicurl conditioners.
 
Whew! Haven't been here in awhile so I had quite a few pages to read to catch up. I've been mostly doing co-washes lately. Tried As I Am cococonut cowash for the first time tonight and I love it. I plan to start back doing the full regimen when my rhassoul comes in, just ordered it today. I've given up on Terresentials. It worked well the first few times but the combination of aloe vera and bentonite are a no-go for my hair. Speaking of aloe vera, I'm looking for a new gel where aloe vera isn't so high up on the list. I adore Hello Curly but my hair seems so dry by day 2. I ordered Beautiful Curls Curl Defining Gel today. My hair tends to do well with shea butter and it's the 2nd ingredient if I remember correctly, and aloe vera 4th. I like Curls Goddess Curls but I don't like that a humectant is the 2nd ingredient. Anyway...all this buzz about coconut milk and clay has me excited. Can't wait to try it when my clay comes in. Even though my hair does better with the rhassoul, I still don't get the results you all get with it so I'm hoping the milk (and heating it, I want to try that too) will make a difference.

HopefulOne no I haven't tried that. The clay is cleansing and somewhat stripping so I need the leave in the impart more moisture before I seal it with the gel. Have you skipped the leave in step before with success?

I'm still trucking along with the MHM. My hair is doing well and is retaining a good amount of length. I plan on MHing my hair on Wed.

Sounds like everyone else is doing well with the method:)

I have but I may not be the best example because my hair is always defined.
 
I need to start wearing my hair out. I have been wearing a wig for the past 2-3wks. It's just easier for me. I've been applying the DC, then twisting my hair and I let it dry and then I put my wig on. Then in 2-3days I take the twist down, rinse the DC out and do a 1-2 min clay wash. Once that's done, I do the whole process again with the DC or I just do twist w/o the DC if I am using the ACV 1st, then I DC and then the clay (if that makes sense:lol:).
 
I didn't do anything last night but chill- why try squeeze in a wash before work, when I have tomorrow off:grin:. This morning I decided I will do a CLCT. It's been about 9 or 10 weeks since my last. Looking forward to seeing if I notice any difference in my hair. I've been suffering the occasional bit of breakage at my nape:sad:.
On a plus, I took of my baggy this eve and I've got short little coils springing up out my head. Is this a sign that it's thickening up?...I hope so:yep:
 
So I MHM'd today and after wearing my hair in a pony puff for a couple of days I feel like I set myself back a little bit. I've lost some definition.

Anyway I just restocked on my rhassoul and other items over at New Directions Aromatics..they're having a sale if y'all are interested. Great quality stuff i've ordered my rhassoul and oils from there for over 5 yrs!

I hope so too
 
I've done every 3 days for 1.5 months to see if it made a difference. I think it helped with moisture retention. I'm didn't see any major changes in definition though. It really doesn't look like I'm anywhere close to having enough definition to do a wng.

I was supposed to keep it up through the end of February but I'm ready to take a break. I'm going to try two strand twists for two weeks to give myself a break. I will incorporate steam to help with the moisture.

I will reevaluate in march to see if and when I will get back to the full regimen.
