I thought about that but I think there is too much good info here. Im not saying I dont want any1 to talk I just think some of us are ahead of others and its only right we give everyone a chance to catch up. I understand not everyone can be on here to read every page in one week and I think we can slow the thread down and wait for them after all they were willing to do this with us
However if you do think its too slow and you've read all 54 pages and want to start your own thread I wouldnt mind. I like having you all here but I just want us to do this 2gether.
I think giving everyone a week to catch up and all the ladies who are up to date can answer some of the question others will have when they are catching up to us.
Im just trying to meet the needs of everyone

I have never tried the Hot Oil but I love the Cholesterol....what did or didnt you like?
You are correct!!! Maybe my hair likes cones.....further investigation is warranted...here is a pic of my dry crunchy hair after using NTM Silk Touch Leave-In for 5 days. I sealed w/EVOO or castor oil.Funny enough, I HAVE THAT IN MY STASH OF PRODUCTS!!
I never use it because some of the natural ladies on BHM said "beware of Silicone products" because they are a no-no for hair. The third ingredient is a cone. I'll try and find where I read it and post it here. I am willing to try it. I paid for it $$$.

Nice Ponytail!!! :sweetokahontas uses this ponytail method of rollersetting. She called it a "cheat set".I was thinking about giving it a try this week.I am encouraged by your ics:.Hi Ladies,
The last time I posted was about a week ago and I was very far behind. I've been trying to keep up. If the new question of this week has been asked, I'll have to dig and find it so I can answer it. First I want to ask a question, then I want to vent about my Boyfriend, and last I want to tell you about what's been going on recently with my hair.
The question: Are ponytails okay as a protective hair style as long as they aren't supper tight? I wear my hair in a ponytail everyday.
The Vent: My boyfriend is so not being supportive. I'm so glad I have you guys. He thinks I am insane because I have been so serious about my hair care lately. He said I bought 100 new hair products and to him my hair looks exactly the same. Then I ask him do he see as much hair on the floor as there use to be. His response? Well that's just because you don't blow dry. When I try out new styles like the donut he says: What the hell is that on your head? Aggravating.
Hair progress: I'm going to post some pictures here, but I will be updating my Fotki tonight also. I tried to roller set my hair, but i got a really big head and I couldn't get the rollers in right and my arms were tired, lol. I gave up, but then I decide to try to roller set my ponytail. Below are the results which I love and Even my bf said my hair pretty. I don't have a digital camera yet so pics are with my phone. My bf swears someone is going kill me or steal my identity every time he hears my camera phone snapping away. Then he had the nerve to ask me to go to the store and get him something for his hair because it's dry. I got him some S curl activator. It's all I saw really for guys in Sallys. Then he's starting to use my Organix Shea Butter Shampoo and Conditioner, which I was about to through out because it sucks for my hair.
Pics:
so much. Those curls hide a multitude of sins.I luvvvvv the way ur hair looks. It turned out really nice
Thanx Finding Me....I was thinking about that I have to find it.. Which one r u using?
Hey y'all, I just found this link on Hair Breakage 101. It's some really good info that will help us on our journey. I wanna post the link, but I'm not sure what the rules are on that kind of thing. If you are interested, PM me and I'll give you the 411.
I just want to make sure I'm "compliant" up in here!
I picked it up at my local BSS. It's a Dominican product, and the PJ that I am, never saw it before, until the sales lady recommended it to me, for the breakage I was experiencing. No it's like I see the stuff all over the place .
Price wise it's up there. I paid $12.99 for the shampoo, and $15.99 for the con. But for me I see it's really working, seems to be doing something good for my hair.
I think that last time I washed I just left it on there too long, I'm not going to DC with the conditioner anymore, I'll probably just leave it on for about 10 min under a plastic cap and was out.
Hey, tell me whatchu think? This is my daughter's hair 10 weeks post. Since we are progressively stretching we will do 12 weeks next relaxer. She is not seeing the progress. I do but I may be biased.....
Whew, getting this 4.0 is looking harder than expected. Classes and midterms are kicking my butt. I do have updates, though!
Saturday got a relaxer (affirm sensitive scalp) with a new stylist and I was very pleased with the results!! I let the stylist even out the back and snip off what she thought needed to be trimmed so I could start my hair journey off right. Pictures are in my fotki!
Answers to Weekly Questions:
If you could wake up with perfect hair what would it look like? Like Macherieamour's
How long do you think it will take you to reach dream hair? Hard to say, my hair does what it wants.
What steps are you taking to get there? My latest step is buying buying hard water test strips to pinpoint the cause of dryness.

Hi Natural ladies! I'm glad to see it's a few sprinkles posting. I need help with my regimen too! Lately I've been doing the following and my hair never seems like it's getting enough moisture:
This is what I do 2x's per week
Pre-poo w/EVOO & Honey overnight. I think it's working okay, but I think it could be better
Co-Wash & DC with Nexxus Humectus. I don't think this is enough moisture for my hair but it's what I have. BTW I dc for 1 hour under dryer.
Gently finger and shampoo comb my hair and moisturize with Kids Organic Moisturizer and Detangler, Carefree Curl Gold and seal with Castor Oil. The KOMD is okay, but again...what I have. I tried using Glycerin and water, but I think I used to much and my hair started breaking like crazy.
I gently brain my hair into about 6 box braids.
I've been wearing wigs and falls lately so, my hair sees no heat.
The main problem is that my hair will not get soft and moist!! Sometimes it feels like wire near my roots. Any advise is welcome. Please help a sista out!!
