Oils,Grease,Pomades,Butters,Lotions,Cremes Challenge 2014

Moisturized twists with APB leave in spray, creme, and sealed ends with the hair and body butta.

Repeated this last night and the night before :yep:.

Will repeat for this evening as well :grin:.

I keep forgetting how good my hair feels when I moisturize and seal daily with no exceptions. I am going to keep on going with this :grin:.

ETA: I paid special attention to my edges as I feel like I have been neglecting them. I also am practicing cornrowing so I have been cornrowing my twists down after moisturizing. I think I am slowly getting better at cornrowing :grin:.

Welcome and Glad to have you! :welcome:

Just post a list of the products you'll be using and then please come back and post what you are using/used and if possible a mini-review of how it works/worked on your hair.
 
Welllllll,

Last night I used hawaiian silky 14n1 to moisturize
I applied jbco to my scalp and coconut oil to my hair...
I also used the as I am double butter cream...

My bantu knots have definition for the most part, but I'm touching my hair and it feels kinda hard... I'm gonna hafta reevaluate what I used... also, and as I should have expected all though I dont like it, everything I touch is shiny and greasy like my hands... because I keep touching my hair... :nono::ohwell::perplexed
 
Misted hair with Aphogee KGT Reconstructor+Fairy Tales Rosemary Repel conditioner mix.
Oiled hair & scalp with Darbur Vatika+Majabhrinraj oil mix.
Applied Darcy's Botanicals Pumpkin Seed moisturizing conditioner to length. Heavy sealed last 4 inches with Tropic Isle JBCO Hair Food.

HAIR STATS: I have natural, dense, coarse, low-porosity/high shrinkage (waist to above shoulder) 4B hair. Live in a high dewpoint & humidity climate with hard (google "karst or sink") water. Lost some density due to illness & treatment. The current strands protein-sensitive. My new strands are not & like to web among the old hair.
I can use protein sprays without overloading my hair. The ceramides + herbs detangle, condition,protect against UV damage & prevent protein loss.
 
Used Soultanicals Mango Dip to moisturize, Keravada Fenugreek to seal and some Soultanicals Knot Butter to twist.

OT: What kind of books do you read and/or collect?
I'm drawn to rarities- fairy tales in their original form (check out Sir Richard Burton's "The Arabian Nights"- not for kids); ancient cookbooks (Apicius); little known pieces of history of people of color (Mrs.Henrietta Lacks & Ghanian King Peggy); books on Ayurveda, herbal medicine & natural skin/haircare.
In college I actually got to hold & read an early edition of Phyllis Wheatley's book of poetry. Had to wear white cotton gloves & everything! :-)
My favorite author is C.S Lewis. His "On Christianity" is the most eloquent, humble & respectful explanation of the faith I've ever read.
I grew up on the PBS show "Reading Rainbow" If I ever meet Lavar Burton I'll sqeee like a teenage Justin Bieber fan. :-D
Don't want to hijack the thread...PM me for more. I can type about books all day.

I used my TPS peppermint Growth Foundations and MN on scalp. I M&S with SM Extra Moisture a Transitioning Mulk and KeraCare oil.
 
With my "new" regimen of stretching my hair with twists I throughly soak my hair with Kinky Curly Knot Today and Curling Custard. Once I take my twists down every night I lightly spritz the air around me with water, apply coconut oil, Entwine Butter Cream, and BASK Sevenfold on my length.

I'm almost finished with the BASK, but I have an 8 oz SSI Seyani Butter that will take months to finish, I'm sure.
 
Cowashed last night and sealed with Hairveda Shikakai. Oiled my scalp with nature's blessing. Just my regular routine.
 
Overnight Prepoo with Darbur Vatika Naturals enriched coconut/neelibrigahdi oil mix+SM Coconut Hibiscus Curl & Shine conditioner.
