MHM Hangout

[msbettyboop]

So had a conversation today and tried to explain to a lady about mhm and how it helps with curls but she insisted with all her energy that I was born with curls like this and nothing can make her 4c hair curl.....insert perplexed emoticon...

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.

You look pretty with that cut. You pull short hair off really well.

And this is why I keep my mouth shut about it. People are so closed minded and refuse to leave that little proverbial box they live in.

Just did a clay rinse and gel only application and I'm happy to report that mu coils are coming back witj avengance!!! Sent from my SM-N900V using LHCF

I am really loving the two-step...I cowashed today and applied some gel and got the heck outta here. I tried to use the leftover clay from my adventure with the grands and it was too thick and I couldn't get it rinsed completely. Still not a bad WNG. I'll be back to two-stepping directly...LOL.

Just let folks witness your miracle girl!

My cousin stays asking me what kind of twist out i'm rocking. I told her I just washed my hair and put gel in it. She still asks! If they can't handle just that part I don't have the energy to tell them anymore! Funny thing is if my cousin did MHM her curls would be GLORIOUS! but she'd have to take her weave out first.

This is today's hair after Co-wash, Leave-in and gel. I only have time to DC & clay on the weekends. I know it's gonna slow the hydration process but it's cool. My hair has come a long way and is kinda on auto pilot with my version of MHM.

Next i'll be focusing on trimming this color outta my hair. It's killing my ends!

Maybe you can talk her into letting you do her hair in between weaves. When I make more progress I'm going to talk my girlfriend into it and do it for her.

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.

I am so happy for you Fatih, you give everyone else such good advice and now it is workings for you That is great

I had every intention of rocking 2nd day hair...until I got in the shower and that warm water felt sooooooo good. I'm a complete co-wash addict...AGAIN. Pray for me as the weather heats up my addiction gets worse. I've cowashed 2X per day during the dog days of summer!

I'm the same way. I love just having that warm water on my scalp. What prevents me from doing it everyday is the fact that I hate styling my hair.

Its all over for me...I don't even care about how much gel I use anymore, I just want water on my scalp and a fresh wng everyday. Thank goodness its getting warmer outside! I'll be buying that $40 jar of KCCC this week!

Say WORD that's what they're charging for KCCC these days??? $40. That's why I comb the .99 cent store for gel. I'm just now getting to the end of my $4.99 giant jar of Wetline.

In michigan the 16 oz is still 28 bucks. Every pay day I go back and forth wether to get it or not lol

85% dry Co washed with Perfectly undone condish ( soooooo much slip) and slapped some KCNT.

 

[nycutiepie]

I've been lazy or in a funk and have not done a cycle since last week sometime.

faithVA do you think I can just jump into the "2-step" even though it's been about a week since I've washed my hair? I haven't been using any heavy oils or anything and I've been misting diluted KKNT every other day. I don't think I will get to do the full regimen until the weekend.

I hate styling my hair too It's going to have to be much easier before I start just wetting it often.

Do you dilute your gel to make it stretch farther.

 

[faithVA]

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

Sent from my SM-N900V using LHCF

tashboog had good results with 3 tbs of rhassoul with 2 tbs of bentonite. I'm going to do mine this weekend with a slightly different ratio since my hair doesn't like bentonite.

If you are using rhassoul, I say just do step 3, 4 and 5. If you are doing bentonite then yes you can just start with step 2.

Yep I had very good results with the rhassoul/bentonite combo. My hair felt clean but soft after rinsing. I had good definition and clumping with this combo and detangling with the clay was super easy . However, I must add that I am a hi po gal so my hair likes bentonite clay, and I've never had any issues using it by itself. Lo po ladies may need to add more rhassoul clay for their mix. faithVA recipe may work better for the lo po ladies but she hasn't tried the 4:2 ratio yet so I can't say it's a winner just yet, but the 3:2 was a winner for my hair .

I use a mix and I measure by sight but I use more Rhassoul than bentonite. I'm gonna try it from step 3 and see what happens.

Make sure to add ACV to get enough slip to detangle.

I'm glad you are seeing improvements in your curls and coils.

Ah I was wondering when the folks doing the modified routine detangle if they're not doing a conditioner or leave-in step. I mix my rhassoul clay with coconut milk but it definitely doesn't get slippery enough to detangle with.

Yeah the ACV really smooths the clay out and giving it slip. Low porosity hair needs about 1/4 cup of ACV with the rhassoul. I think normal and high needs less. tashboog was able to get buy with just 1 tsp and had enough slip.
