Transition Over
Awww man I'm so sorry! And here I am ready to post 'bout my beloved steamer. I'm about to give it a name... maybe Jose
I went to class last night and came home late. I didn't get a chance to say good night to the kids because they were passed out by the time I got home. BTW DH and I had a very long and serious talk last night so we're going to stay together. After that I let down my hair.. you guys do the mathAnyway so this morning I wake up and my stepdaughter has the most awesomest curls ever. I'm like get back in here, what the heck did you do to your hair its BEAUTIFUL (wish I had taken a pic) and she was hesitant but then admitted to me that she used my steamer last night
while I was in school and her hair came out so pretty. I told her to just be careful with the steamer, its very fragile. I also made fun of her because she's been always crackin on my PJism and laughed when she saw the steamer, but somehow she's reapin the rewards of my craziness. She still wants me to cut her hair though. My DH would have a heart attack if I did that.
At black bolded, yay!!
That's wonderful! I'm glad you two are going to work it out.
At red bolded...I named mine Shaitan.

thank you. i hope you get over your hump too. see when you first go natural or transition they tell you there is an in between stage or as you say "the ugly stage" lol. but i didnt take it seriously.Che--Hopefully twisting will help with how you're feeling about your hair right now. You and I are -->right here<-- because I am in the ugly stage of this transition and I am so not happy right now.
but yea im optimistic that the twists will help. ive alwasy liked the way my twists looked, and you cant tell my front is thin in twists.
itll also give me reason to take care of my scalp.

same here. I didnt like the sitrinilla, but I used SBB today as a pre-poo and I liked it. I used it as a DC once and I didnt like it at all. As a pre-poo its great for my hair.

really????? i love aussie moist conditioner. i was planning on getting the big bottle but then i decided to stick with natural products but i loves me some aussie moist.
washnset i love banana brulee as a pre poo, deep conditioner and co washed. i was surprised at how well it made my hair felt as a co washed because it was only left on for a couple minutes.

I do Che. I like the sintrinillah and the banana brulee equally I think. They are my staple DC right now. I am glad I gave my AO away. The only one I will continue to use is the GPB. I still want to try the curl junkie banana/hibiscus conditioner too.I ended up buying the karishma henna because the store that i went to didn't have any other brands that I recognized. I only used a tablespoon mixed with my other powders but I am so paranoid that it colored my hair. When I take my rollers out, I should really be able to tell.

I am lazy. I have to accept that. This weekend I will just retwist into mini 2 strand twists, cowash and moisturize. I'm almost done with my 32 oz Suave Humectant and my 33.5 oz Giovanni TTTT. Both should be gone by the end of February (my Bday
) depending on how often I was and how heavyhanded I am and I will finally be able to touch another conditioner. I am trying to use up what is open before I open something else.

oh and im gona start using qhemet detangling gee again. i stopped when i stopped doing braids and twists but now its needed again.

My old roomie sent me a care package, included in the care package was a satin cap and an ORS pack.....she is a white girl with stick straight 1a hair from the burbs!! I know she knows about my "obsession" with haircare but whoa!!
However her mom is Jewish with 3b hair so maybe momma let her in on some some hair secrets.

I went from glam to HAM in 2.5 seconds LOLOLOL
I am in my pink thermo jammies, hair in a bun, black satin scarf on. All I need is green stuff on my face ha ha
Today I let my hair down and I got so many compliments. I did notice the twirling so to punish myself I get to wear a bun tomorrow. I got a hair grow oil sample from the blogger of Texture Playground. She asked me to do a review so I promised her I would in 6 weeks. It can't hurt, right? I am bunning every day and putting the growth oil on the left side where I twirl alot. I want to see if I can catch up to the neglected right side of my hair that is longer. I also got a really nice hair butter from her that melts in my hand. I think my DD stole it from me because I can't find it.. yet my granddaughter "mysteriously" smells like my hair butter. Hmp.
Tomorrow I have to run a bunch of errands and I'm going to just keep my hair in a bun to protect it from this cold weather. My God its like 12 degrees here.
ALMOST FORGOT - Went to the Christmas Tree Shops today in Somerville and bought a large bottle of Tresemme shampoo and conditioner. That's it though for hair stuff.

They sure will. They will give you a gift card so you can get ur next PJ fix
Hmm...since its under $5 they may give you cash. I believe you can only make 3 returns w/o a receipt in 6 months though.IDareT'sHair

Okay Ya'll..........
About The Cinnamon Oil.......It Should come with a WARNING: Kids Do Not Try this At Home.:burning:
Seriously......My head is so sore. I had to do a HOT with EVOO under my Heat Cap to see if I could soothe my aching scalp.
And I co-washed with a Olive Oil Conditioner.
I did go back and read some previous Threads on the Subject (while lurking at work yesterday). Which I shoulda' done before using it.
I finished up and "Steamed" with my AO GPB mixture. I will either mix the remainder of the 'deadly' cinnamon oil in with a coupla' conditioners OR get a Q-Tip and apply like it said in some of the former threads.
I sure hope it doesn't scab.

Someone sent me some and I used it to wash out Henna/Indigo.
The Entire Bottle. And you're right, it smelled great. And since it was used for washing out Henna.....I didn't care about it's 'performance' because I knew I would be DC'ing afterwards.
But, it won't be something I'd purchase. Unless it was a $1.00 and it was for Henna Rinsing.

Shay.......Girl.........That Stuff To' My Scalp Up!
I will look for the receipt and possibly ship the unopened bottles back.
I've been worried about that @bolded.
Yesterday, I was in so much pain
I wish I woulda' read up on it first. Most people said they used it before they shampoo. and apply with a q-tip. But Me, Being GROWN LIKE YOU.........Didn't read the Directions.
ltown, I didn't let it sit because I didn't want the color to release.

I wish you had told me you were trying to do a hot oil treatment with that stuff. I don't use it because its no joke, its like pure cinnamon or something. Its like those hot jaw breakers (cinnamon candy) that makes your mouth feel like its on FIYAH, except you put it on your scalp. Throw it away or mix it with something else. Leave your scalp alone and the feeling will subside.
I just made a Youtube video on Chicoro's method of using a nylon to secure a bun. I tried doing a YT search for a fellow PJ and all I got were results for people with nylon fetishes LMFAO
After I rebuked them in the name of my sweet Jesus I created the video. Its being uploaded now and I'll edit this post to add the link. Not too much hair porn going on in the video. I have no make up on so please forgive my look LOLI'm off to Ikea!
OMG that's so funny!!!! I'm not even gonna ask where you got that name from! I am going to do a YT video about my beloved Jose (steamer) and hopefully post it next week.
ETA: Here's the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8IXoYAg2ok its still processing so the quality will hopefully be better
