I am thinking that I have ramen noodle curls. My curls super defined and they are not that thick . I hope the heating the clay continues to make them thicker.

:yep: Mine start to get a lil ramen-y around days 2/3. Day 1, they're so thick and bouncy, I call them my little caterpillars. :lol:
 
This is my f/u. I think I washed my hair maybe last Tuesday? Anyway, I do the mhm as my wash day regimen. I don't follow it every three days because I have fine threads and its breaks easily. Anyway, I try to find styles that will last me at least a week. Nightly I use castor oil, I refresh my hair with a little water and oil every 2 days. The first picture is from today. I did not pick it out, nor styled it for today because I'm not leaving the house.

KiWiStyle, I'm sorry that happened with the cut. I know how it is to be upset over a bad cut. It will grow back and you will be comfortable before you know it. I would still keep MHM up if I were you because you are starting from scratch. All the new hair coming in would be "MHM trained" and you might have more uniformity amongst the strands. Just a theory.

Got mine day before yesterday...can't wait to use it. I hate being tethered to my chair but I love deep conditioning. This way, I can DC and do my chores or take a nap or just hang out.

I'm getting one too when I heard it mentioned. I'm under the dryer now as I type and I HATE this part. This is why I hardly sit under the dryer and I have a professional dryer. I think it was about $25 but if I can move around it's worth it.

I haven't washed since last Friday and don't think I will get a wash in until Sunday. I wet my hair last night and twisted back up with Camille Rose and will wear a twist out for the rest of the weekend.

I may not have any definition but MHM is definitely giving me more moisturized hair. Its been a long time since I have been able to wear twist for a week and then do a twist out after it.

I hope to get back on my every 3 day starting on Sunday.

With all due respect, you are the Queen of this thread and can't go that long in between a session. LOL

I'm just talking junk because I'm in the middle of the regi on step 2 under the dryer. This is my 2nd session this week. The last one was on Tues - Weds because I didn't have time and kept the DC in for a whole day then did step 3 - 5 on Wednesday. Anyway, I've tried a lot of regimens but have had a hard time finding something since I went natural but this might be it.

I just cowashed as I do in between MHM and my hair still felt thicker and I didn't have any tangle issues so I am really happy with this heated clay step. I am due to do the entire treatment tomorrow and I will report how it goes heating the clay again.

That sounds like an idea for me because I workout and sometimes I don't want to do the whole regi after but want to at least rinse my hair. How many days after and before doing a full session do you cowash?
 
My pH test strips came!!! I tested the Castile level and it's an 8. How are you guys mixing the baking soda with this or you're just using the Castile soap on its own for step 1?

Thank you nycutiepie....yep my thoughts exactly so thanks for your opinion! I'm using Oyin Greg Juice now as a midday refresher but I think I'll be fine, glycerin is 8th on the ingredient list.

YIKES! Like msbettyboop my scalp itches especially in the back! I wonder if doing the treatments back-to-back with the baking soda was too much for my hair?

I used some warmed Jojoba oil last night and it stopped the itching but it has started back. I guess I need more oil but I'm also going to try my scalp Invigorator (e.g. massager) to see if that helps.... anything has to be better than me scratching (like I have flees)!! :lol:


On the bright side I've completed the 7 treatments so I should be at maximum hydration....right? :perplexed :lol:

I do the entire regimen every 3rd day and I co-wash on the two days in between. I use diluted approved conditioners and it works well for me.

I cannot do the entire regi more often than once a week and I can't deal with second day hair yet on the regular because I have helmet head every morning. I cowash each morning and do a WNG. MHM has made that process a breeze and leaves my hair really nice. Before MHM I was always doing something trying to make curls and breaking my fine stands in the process, and never a WNG because the fuzzy poof was just evil looking; since MHM the curls make themselves with zero breakage and minimal shedding. I only do a serious detangle on MGM day and only with my fingers.

Mix the castille soap with conditioner or the baking soda with conditioner. Don't use baking soda and castille soapnin the same mix. My castille soap is a 10 so I buffer it with conditioner to bring the pH down and to keep it from stripling my hair.

OK I will let you give me a hard time since you were bored. :yep:

Had to skip some washes since I was sick. I think it was the right decision.

No. The 7 days are just a jump start. You are at max hydration when your hair is defined and clumps from root to tip. It could be weeks or it could be months. It depends on your hair.

Your hair is gorgeous!!! I love the shine. It looks so healthy!!!
 
Question-

I've been in a sew in for 3 months..

Should I do something extra for the MHM since my hair is super super dirty?
 
I'm so happy I decided to continue the regimen inspite of having very little hair! Its been less than a week and my hair is less scalpy and I have visible curls...it appears that I have quite a few curls that clumped and that have reached max hydration. I'm excited to see what another week will reveal!

Not sure which ph strips you purchased. Did you put your ph strip in plain water to make sure it is giving you an accurate reading? It should give you a reading of 7.
 
I finally did the regimen last night. Considering it had been over a week, my hair was in pretty good condition.

I have a bottle of As I Am Cleansing Pudding that I am using up. So I mixed 2 tbsp of that with curls ecstasy conditioner. Next time I will dilute the conditioner and add a bit of baking soda to it. But this cleansed my scalp and hair quite well.

I used diluted curls ecstasy for step 2, finger combed and baggied for 15 minutes.

I added acv to my clay this time around and let it sit for 1 hour.

I'm starting to see much more definition. I'm probably seeing the definition that most people see after a month but it has taken me a while to get to this point.

It seems like I need to keep humectants very low in my conditioners no matter which step. And that I definitely need acv in my clay to start to close my cuticles and hold in the water.

I'm still working on the leave-in step. As soon as I put on the leave-in, my hair frizzes. Since I'm wearing flat twist, I'm just using up an old leave-in which isn't approved. So by the end of March I should have more curl definition and I will try a more diluted version of the KKNT. I also bought the Giovanni leave-in. My first guess is that I also need a leave-in with very few humectants.

Even with the increased definition, I don't think I will try a WNG until some time in March when the weather is warmer.

How much are you ladies diluting your leave-ins? Does it almost look like water or is it still pretty creamy? Seems like when I watched DanaB hers looked like water.

Anyone not use a leave-in?

I delete mine until it is at the point that it is still creamy but anymore water would make it totally watery. I think that works well with my thinner hair.
 
I heated my clay today and has the same results. My hair was thicker but I didn't have any tangles and it felt good. I found out that I really don't like TJTT. I think I am going to stay with This clay heating while I have these good results.
