I've been out of comission for awhile. I have pneumonia and really haven't felt like washing my hair.(No Energy....at all!).
Pneumonia is no joke. I hope you feel better soon.

9 hrs to do this regimen on one head is a bit much (without overnight DC), even for me, and I can't seem to go fast if I try lol. I don't include drying time but if I did....bwoy.... it'd be longer than 9 hrs. I don't even think my hair dries in 9 hrs

And see that's why I think most people do not want to try MHM; b/c of misinformation like this. Trust and Believe if this reggie was a 9hr process I would not partake.

Exactly. I take my sweet time and take long *ss breaks and it doesn't take me that long, but ok
. At least she's cool with how long it takes her.

How'd you finish so fast?!?! I'm just now getting ready to rinse the clay out. I "was"going to 2 strand twist today too but now, it ain't happening. I thought she had low density...sh....I almost cussed, Lol! Your DD couldn't finish, Lol...I'm sure mine wanted to quit too! We're shooting for MBL by the end of this year, Lord help us all!

faithVA I followed your advice with my regimen and it does look and feel better, I can definitely see it improving over the next few weeks. Thanks again for guiding me . What do you recommend I do on my off days which will be only 1 day because I'll be repeating every 2 days??

LOL,
I know. I should of wrote the length is coming back to their hair. Like you can see the Lola treatment working its magic on your children's hair. I tell you, shrinkage is the devil. I can't wait to see the end result.
Do you plan on doing a twistout on their hair or a wng?

Glad you had a good experience. Is this the first time you had good second day hair?

Just finished the modified regimen for the third time, so far so good. Can't help but wonder if it's the clay or the method since I'm still using the Naturalicious 5-in-1 clay treatment. I guess I'll find out when I make my own mix. I know one thing, I feel like I'm gonna go crazy if I do another wng! I'm one for switching up my hairstyles and I've been wearing wngs since last May. I've been tired of them for awhile now but every time I go to twist my hair up I can't bring myself to do it since it's so much easier to slap some gel in and go. I'm thinking about a cut and some color. I'm super bored with my hair.

I would just let the steam from the hot shower reactivate the gel or at most water rinse and gel if you can't get good second day hair.

Lol, oh!! Yes the treatment really did work magic on her hair, its so soft and hydrated! I put in some chunky two strand twists for now because it got really late...I'll retwist on Tuesday or Wednesday to stretch it more for the twist out. I hope it works out because all I know how to do is mini twists on her, which are usually in a bun, Lol.

Ok, I like the idea of water rinsing followed by gel. I was getting good 2nd day hair before so I guess I have to work my way back to that. Thanks!

It won't take long. I've only been doing the modified a little over two weeks and I can already get 2nd day hair.

I did the clay and the gel step last night. I decided to comb my hair this week to try to work on my roots. The hair at my roots go in so many different directions I think it will take a lot of finger combing to manage that. I used my wide tooth comb after I did a water rinse. Then I applied the clay. Then I used a smaller comb to comb through a small section. Then I used a fine tooth comb to comb down from my roots. It made a big difference when it came time to apply the gel. I wasn't having to fit with my roots. I'm going to hold onto the comb for a while until my hair starts to separate more.
It took me 1.5 hours from water rinse to gel to cleaning the bathroom. That really isn't that bad. As my hair defines more hopefully it will get faster.
I used kccc here - 2tbs of kccc and 4 tbs of water. I may try it 50/50 next time. I also think I'm going to buy a small jar of As I Am gel. I think it gives me more definition.
I slept on it so it was all packed down to my head this morning but it was still wet
I'm not rinsing it tonight so my 2nd day hair may be a wreck.

I water rinsed and gel only this morning and I'm loving the simplicity and coils! I can see it bouncing back within two weeks, I should've listened to you when you said I should try it. From now in, I'm following your lead, Lol.

Thank you hairtimes5 & KiWiStyle. I'm surprised I can actually do a wng even though it is still a tight fro right now
But as long as it doesn't shrink down so far that I can't do anything with it, I will deal with it.My SO hugged me and said oooh look at all of those curls.
I said, you see curls. He said, yeah I see them all over. They are just popping up everywhere. And this was 2nd day hair which I thought looked like a frizz ball.So I'm going to soldier on through to see if it gets better.

Yes, my DD13 is my oldest, the one with the 4c, so I did the whole regimen, but not the CLCT. Since she has her mini-twists in I plan to do it again for her when we take it down. I will update how it goes with her. I look forward to hearing how it turns out for the other moms doing it for their daughters, or other little girls!

Y'all about to make me try the modified MHM
I would have to order the rhassoul though so we'll see.

Aw thank you. I'm excited too
If you want to try it, you can try it with the bentonite but just do it once. Because you have been conditioning often, you will be fine doing it the first time with the bentonite. You probably won't have to clarify with the shampoo if you use the bentonite. Just keep your honey and oils at a minimum. Then if you like the modified you can then buy the rhassoul. It will at least give you an idea.

I see curls!!!!! Great progress. Are u noticing more curls with the modified method?

Pretty! I wonder why the CLCT gives better definition than regulary MHM or the Modified MHM steps. I wish I could recreate that effect every time.
For the modified MHM FaithVA and KiwiStyle do you plan to do the CLCT every two weeks as your Deep Conditioning?

Yes. Definitely more coils. With the original method with each wash I was moving from coils to waves to almost nothing.
I think the original method works best with bentonite. I think the heaviness of most conditioners, with multiple applications in a session with the conditioning effect of the rhassoul are a bad combination.
I think rhassoul requires no conditioner or at the most a really light and heavily diluted conditioner/leave-in like the kknt or something like Jessicurl Aloeba.
I'm looking forward to comparing my end of March pictures with my end of February pictures
That will be 30 days on the modified regimen.

Your hair will get there over time. Eventually your hair will have the definition dry that it has when you do a clct. That is the goal. And you won't have to do clct as often from what I gather.
I am doing the CLCT every 2 weeks. I promised DubaiDee that I would stick to the regimen. So far she has been right about what she was telling me. I dread it though
But since my hair isn't close to max hydration, right now I think its better for me to stick to 2 weeks. And as my hair progresses I can start stretching it out to 4 weeks or longer.

I'll be starting MHM in July. I've been lurking since the first MHM discussion board moved over here.
Question: at this point, would you recommend a newbie to start with the original method or the modified? I have both calcium bentonite and rhassoul clays.
I read DubaiDee's blog but I'm still not clear on the pros of the modified method (besides being quicker). Is anyone still doing the original and getting good, cumulative results?

I was doing the original method- with a couple of modified cycles on my last couple of washes. I've had good results, although slow because I was mainly doing the bald spot regimen. I don't feel like I've had any setbacks since I started in September. However, I think I will give DubaiDee's modifications a try, as I want to see if I can improve my shine factor. My hair was looking rather dull and I want to see if this is because of the conditioner. Or maybe me leaving the clay on too long (although my hair never felt stripped).
I am in two minds when it comes to what I should do let alone you
. I'd say if you can get over the need to have conditioner, it can't hurt to try it and you won't spend as much money. If after a week or so, you find your hair responds negatively, you could always try the original method.

Could it be the lactic acid in the yoghurt in some way? I use heavy cream in my clay step and it is is very moisturizing. I am 3c with total definition but I think that anything "dairy" has a moisturizing effect. If this sounds like it doesn't make sense, call me on it.
