MHM Hangout

[KiWiStyle]

I'm getting ready for round three! My hair stayed moist and looked moisturized for most of the day, in fact, some spots are still damp. It's definitely much longer than any time before. Now if I can remember EXACTLY what I did last time.

Why do you ask? KiWiStyle I have no idea my gray hair is crazy. I was asking about the clay because I'm still trying to get my regi together and I still need to wet my hair daily (usually a cowash) and I was wondering if that is counter productive to reaching max hydration. I don't have time for much else and my MTWA is so smushed when I wake up.

I don't think its counter productive at all, unless you're using products with no-no ingredients. I think if I didn't have th time I'd do the same...CW daily until I can complete the regimen or at least do steps 1,2,4&5. I have to wet my hair daily because I haven't figured out 2nd day hair yet. Like you, I have helmet hair I'm the AM and just spraying water just seems to cause my hair to become more dry faster.

What are you guys mixing with your rhassoul clay and where is the cheapest place I can buy it from? I'm really excited about getting it since everyone has raved about it

Just henna, but it's hanging in there.

I just hit a snafu! This is day 3 of the NHM for me (but l skipped step 3 last time because my hair felt dry after the bentonite clay). I bought some Rhassoul clay so I decided to try step 3 again today.

I also bought some yogurt so I did the Cherry Lola treatment as step 1

2 cups plain whole fat yogurt
2 tbsps baking soda
2 tbsps liquid aminos (I use Bragg's)

I cowashed with KCNT and water for step 2

And my hair felt soft and I could run my fingers through it with ease!!

I did the clay treatment with the Rhassoul and my hair felt dry, rough, and it was tangled

I did step 3 with the KCNT but my hair still felt rough! I put in more KCNT and used heat and my hair was still no bueno!!

I might be messing up but I started over with the Cherry Lola treatment, the conditioner, and water. I put the conditioner in and my hair is soft and manageable again!!

I hope there are no bad effects from doing the Cherry Lola treatment twice but I would have lost a lot of hair trying to get the tangles out!

I think it will be a long time before I try the clay treatment again.

In an applicator bottle, I mainly mix mine (about 4/5spoons) with (a little bentonite- about 2 spoons), a tsp of honey, a splash of ACV (the bottle top has a limiter) and enough water to bring it up to about 10oz, then shake and mix and shake really well.

Sorry to read that the clay was giving your hair problems. At least you've pin pointed the problem and your hair is feeling better.
I don't know if you've explained already but how are you mixing your clay? What are your hairs descriptive properties? (hair type for lack of a better description lol)

 

[KiWiStyle]

Lisa, you might benefit from watching the video/reading step 3 again on the MH site. Its said that if you are not doing it right, your hair may feel dry. Make sure your consistence is right and you are getting it on every strand until your hair feels heavy or weigh down. Doing exactly changed the game for me so go back and watch Ms. Kay Dee's videos and look at her pictures.

Also, is your hair only dry after step 3?

I use an old KKKT bottle and a $1 funnel from the auto store which makes things a whole lot easier to pour in my ingredients. I only mix mine with water, EVOO, Raw Honey and a few drops of organ oil. Then shake line crazy to mix everything. I learned to add a little water first before the clay, otherwise the clay stick to the bottom after becoming wet and is hard to shake loose.

As far as the cheapest place, I guess you'll have to check around but for reference I order from Butters N Bars.

I keep it simple. 1 cup of water with 3 to 4 oz of rhassoul and 1/2 tsp of oil. I skip the honey because I noticed I have no definition if a I add a humectant to my clay mix. I'm lo po so I don't add acv, but if you aren't lo po a little acv is probably fine. I have also made it without the oil which it works fine but I needed just a bit more slip for my coils.

I get my clay from butters-n-bars. Don't know if they are the cheapest.

Follow your hunch and give the clay a break. What brand of rhassoul did you get and what did you mix with it?

I have permanent hair color and I haven't had any problems with the regimen- no fading or anything. I also co wash two days and do the regimen on the third day.

 

[Smiley79]

Good question, I still have yet to put the semi-permanent color in my hair but I plan to and always wonder if it will interfere with my progress.

 

[HopefulOne]

You know "I saw a picture of Lupita N'Yongo and she could benefit from MHM. If I had her email address I would send the regiment to her.

I won't but wouldn't she be adorable with the benefits of the regimen? Don't worry I won't start stalking celebs.

AbsyBlvd I've always thought I had fine high porosity hair but I'm questioning that since my hair responds so well to baking soda. I've tried ACV rinses in the past and it didn't do anything for me.

I mix according to the directions.

1 cup Rhassoul Clay (I bought it from Amazon)
3 cups water
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon EVOO

It is the consistency of pancake batter and I leave it in for about 15-20 minutes

Thanks KiWiStyle I just went back and listened to her and she did say if your hair is relaxed (I only have 8 months of new growth) it may feel dry, stiff, straw like, or tangled when you rinse the clay out. Because the clay is detoxifying your hair and it is trying to remove buildup from proteins, silicone, parabens. This process takes 3 to 4 weeks!

Yes, it is only dry after the clay step but now I'm torn....maybe I should let it detoxify

 

[KiWiStyle]

I need a really good curl defining cream and of course I wanna stick to approved products. I've tried Camille Rose Curlaide and Moisture Milk and neither do a thing to define. I'm looking at Blue Roze, they seem to have a curl defining cream and a cream gel. Anyone have experience with this brand and has type 4b/c/a hair?

I'm glad you now know why it's dry. One thing for sure, practicing this method takes lots of patience. I don't have it but I know my hair won't I improve overnight so I might as well work my butt off to help it along.

Clarifying for Day 4. I'm definitely losing momentum but I know it'll be worth it. Tomorrow I plan to finish step 5 with a cream and oh well to however it turns out, defined or not.

I am so happy that our water heaters are replaced and I can do my hair.

 

[discodumpling]

Finished my 7 days! My hair is still THIRSTY as all get out!! I will be repeating the process at some point during February but for now i'm gonna get back to my lazy natural style.

My curls continue to clump and separate but this is not only a physical hair transformation...it is mental also. For 7 yrs I have loved and gotten used to frizzy chunky nappy kinky hair....now my hair wants to do something different and my mind is slow to make the connection. By the time it does...y'all will be on to the next hair trend!

I am comfy with WnG hair for now. I wet it and forget it...for at least 3 days then repeat the process. I style my hair with 2 products and go...this is the life for me. With time and length more work will be required so i'm gonna sit back and enjoy the ride. Thanks for the knowledge Faith!

I know the regimen says to finger detangle only...is anyone using a comb? I used my jumbo rake last night and OMG, I had all kinds of knots, my hair never snapped, crackled and popped like that, Lol. I did it with conditioner on but still...a lot of shed hair was released but nothing alarming. How am I, especially with a 2" TWA suppose to not comb detangle?

Your clay recipe is interesting. At the most I can only mix 2 cups of water with 1 cup of rhassoul. Otherwise it would just be a runny mess. I guess different brands of rhassoul clay produce different results.

And yes it is probably detoxing. It should start to feel better every few washes.

I've heard good things about the Blue Roze Flaxseed. I have not used it though. Hold onto the products that aren't currently working because as your hair hydrates those same products will probably work better.

Use a comb if you need to but just make sure it is a seamless comb. And perhaps use it one time a week and then finger detangle the other washes. Eventually you will get to a point where you can just finger detangle when your curls define.
