Naturally Flexible Support Thread

[KiWiStyle]

Well...I still love the styling foam but the conditioner wasn't really happy about my natural hair. Back to the NG Herbal Blends..

Lol, it's probably for the best! I just used the last of my Cucumber & Melon :-(. It's no longer being sold so I emailed NG and they said by popular demand, they'll be adding it back. I was about to go all Sharkeisha on them, lol!

@KiWiStyle LOL @ Sharkeisha

My roots were so puffy that my hair was looking like a bad wig. So, inspired by @sgold04, I treated my edges the same way I do when I wear a bun. I moisturized them using the LOC method and then tied them down with a silk scarf. They look so much better and the wiggy look is gone. I'm so happy.

I think I may be able to wear my hair straight from time to time and still exercise. I'm on day 7 and still going strong.

I was scrolling through this thread and realized that I didn't reply to this, I'm soooo sorry. If I have a lot of alerts at one time, tags and quotes get lost in the shuffle.

I bought mine from Amazon, I just typed "moisture wick headband". I also bought the brand sponsored by Nicole Ari Parker, but the name escapes me.

hey ladies! just checking in to say hey.

lately i have been treating my hair twice a week to a deep conditioner with extra protein on the ends. i have been conditioning and then adding Elasta QP reconstructor, hydrolzed wheat protein, or Aphogee two step to the last 6 inches of my hair. i am still working on breaking the waist length mark!

i did a good trim in September and have been laying off heat since then. i plan to now only trim twice a year which means i will only be using heat 3-4 times a year to preserve my ends. my ends are sooooo weak that i have to take extra care to try to get them to retain.

i have been using trader joes conditioner to cowash which works really well.

i also cracked the code on the LOC method.....i used to do this sparingly with oil as the last step, but now i do it religiously using cream as the last step and i see a difference. every night i spritz with aloe juice, water, rosemary and peppermint. once a week i add a protein spritz to the ends only. then apply Jardin oil or olive oil. then Camille Rose Aloe Butter to seal. my hair drinks it up! and seems to be shedding less, more soft and moisturized.

Those are my regimen updates. I will length check in January.

if we had the app i would post pics....but i don't feel like downloading, resizing and then posting just to post pics.....


are any of y'all on Kibbi Hair group on facebook?

I had the last of my bonelaxed ends cut off a few ago (2-3 inches). I still have a few over processed texlaxed parts in the front so I can't wear my hair I a wash n go.

Next year I plan to keep touching up my color every 8 weeks and get it flat ironed. I may even keep timing my workout breaks so that I can enjoy my hair when it's straight. Maybe I'll even learn to flat iron it myself.

 

[Prettymetty]

I was way too busy to straighten my hair today. I did wash and dc with Kerastase Cristalliste. Tomorrow I will flatiron it with my new Frizz ease cream

@Prettymetty

What's your favorite Kerastace products? And why? I'm thinking of investing. I'm out of the Olio relax serum so it's time to shop.

Happy holidays, Ladies!

The elixir Ultime serum is great. I also really love the Therapiste and Maskeratine masks. Their heat protectants are all amazing. Nectar Thermique is for dry hair, Ciment Thermique is for damaged hair and Keratin Thermique is for unruly/frizzy hair. Sign up for their email club and get 3 samples with each order... that's how I tried the Thermiques.

I have tried a dozen of their masks and nothing compares to Therapiste, Oleo Relax and Maskeratine. Therapiste is a repairing mask and the other 2 help prep my hair for straightening.

I tension blow-dried my hair and then did about 10 twists with Camille rose almond jai.



Thanks @caribeandiva i was able to post pics!!!

My diy straightening technique is improving, but it takes sooo long. Last week it took a little over 2 hours.

I might just go to the salon for my next blowout. I'll be in an out in an hour as opposed to 8 hours airdrying and 2 hours of flatironing. I haven't been to my Kerastase salon since last Summer. I'm sure they miss me

 

[Adiatasha]

Bantu knot out on blow dried hair

 

[Prettymetty]

I have inverted everyday since New Year's. Now I am going to just chill out and wear my wig until I get my hair done at the end of the month.

 

[ajargon02]

I have been playing around with straightening my hair. The issue is that I sweat it out at night. Is there anythingI can do to help this issue?

 

[movingforward]

Whoever mentioned the PM Serum. THANK YOU!!!

My hair gets and stays straight, even in humidity.

The only thing is I have to remember to apply the serums from root to tip.

 

[Prettymetty]

I have been consistent with my wig regimen (weekly wash and dc with Kerastase mask, airdry in braids, detangle and rebraid).

My flatiron technique has improved since my last post. I can straighten my hair on 300 in an hour without a comb. Finger detangling is the business yall. I lose less hair now and my hair is starting to look thick again.

Turn on the ac at night and use a ceiling fan. Also if you tie your hair use a loose fitting bonnet or a cool satin scarf.

Beautiful! Love it!

 

[Prettymetty]

I'm going to whip up another batch of Mane n tail leave in with aloe juice and hot six oil. My ends love this combo!

 

[Prettymetty]

I skipped wash day this week, because I have been so busy with work and the kids. I will do a quick wash Sunday before work. Then I can detangle and straighten (on low).

 

[Prettymetty]

I washed and stretched my hair Wednesday. I'm going to wear this wig for a few more weeks. I'm really starting to miss my hair, but I'm so style challenged.

What is the PM serum?! This sounds like a product I need to add to my stash!

 

[flyygirlll2]

@Chocoluxe It's the Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum. You can get it at CVS or Ulta.

[Evolving78]

I'm glad this thread was bumped! Haven't seen it in awhile! I'm straightening and trimming my hair today. I was gonna wait until sept, but I need to see the condition of my hair and get rid of any damages ends. My hair is bleached and I have been lazy with the wash n gos.

 

[Prettymetty]

I want to wash and straighten my hair either today or tomorrow. I have a new heat protectant I want to use (Suave Keratin Infusions).
