MHM Hangout

Lawd, I need a trim but I'm not good with this. I need a proper even trim. Letting a stylist do it where I live is out of the question. They're all incompetent. What to do? What to do??.?

Maybe watch some yt videos and do it yourself. You can always go to like the Smart Clips or whatever they are called. People seem to have good results there.
 
I just ordered 2lbs of Aztec Bentonite Clay from the Vitamin Shoppe. I'm going to try mixing this with the rhassoul to see how that works.

I didn't know that they sold the Aztec Bentonite Clay in 2 lb jars. I also bought some citric acid to make sure my mixes are ph balanced. I wanted some ph strips but Vitamin Shoppe does not carry the ones I want.

I'd like to see if you get even better definition as it seems some people see more clumping with the bentonite.

I liked how my hair looked today doing the modified MHM. It was a big difference and I almost ordered the rhassoul but the cost made me pause. If I could mix the two and still avoid my hair getting to dried out that would be great! I'll be following your results closely:yawn:

I'll definitely be following your results with the rhassoul/bentonite mix!

Yeah the bentonite dried my hair out even with all the conditioning so I stopped using it. Where were you looking to buy rhassoul from? Don't buy from Bulk Apothecary.

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?

My vote is to start with the modified. Then if you don't like it try the original. If you can get results with the modified why do all the work of the original.

Besides the ease, one of the purposes if the modified method is to get people to max hydration. They are people who have been on the original method for months showing progress but their hair just seems to stop at a point and they don't get that root to tip definition. Dubai Dee found by eliminating the conditioner her hair hydrated faster.
 
Good hair day today. I did a CLCT with leftovers from 2 weeks ago. I added more baking soda and a little bit of milk. I rinsed that out and deep conditioned with conditioner + milk then I did a clay rinse with rhassoul, honey, olive oil and milk. After rinsing everything out I had root to tip definition, then I sealed with the Sweet Soul Magic Curl stimulator. I think if you're gonna do the modified MHM and you don't like making flaxseed gel, Sweet Soul Magic is a really good alternative. You don't need a leave in at all!
 
Decided that I would start doing the modified regimen proper. I did a CLCT (as per DubaiDee's low po recipe) and made a watery clay with rhassoul, water, ACV and milk. I finished wih a cold rinse and applied diluted KCCC.

Separating my strands from webbing during the CLCT took an age, but I am noticing the difference- my hair wants to clump in smaller sections now. Although the clay consistency had me tempted to add more rhassoul, I didn't and my hair was still weighed down nicely. The cold rinse after the clay also helped my hair feel smoother when applying the gel.
 
I water rinsed and tried some other products in my stash. None of them worked on really wet hair. So I rinsed everything out. Decided I'm finished with wngs for now. They are probably best left for days when I do the full treatment starting with the clct. I will probably do a wng at the end of the month so I can take progress pics.

So put on a little oil and some BlueRoze flax gel and put in flat twist. I'm going to do a trim either tomorrow or Wednesday and will return to flat twist.
 
faithVA For dubaidee's flaxseed gel recipe, I know it's a tbs of flaxseeds that have been soaked overnight to one cup of water but how long do you boil it for?

I was on Butters and bars since you had a good experience with them. I had read in the thread that the one from Bulk Apothecary didn't work the same or something.

sweetpea I documented my mhm journey on this thread, so its here. I stopped posting pics after my 2nd BC because there was literally no hair to see and then I had a set back where my progress actually reversed very rapidly. I plan to do a 6 month comparison where you all will be very amazed at my transformation.

Here's a sneak peak at my hair at its best since my original BC, I think I posted it before:

Here is my hair today, on its way back to life:

Sorry about the sideways pics, I can't do anything about that.

For some reason my phone's camera doesn't show details, it kinda blurs everything and its starting to piss me off.
