Lesson learned: Miss Jessie's Coily Custard or Kinky Curly Curling Custard for wash and go's

I tried the Cantu custard and had minimal definition and increased frizziness.

How far are you ladies willing to drive to see your hair dresser? I may move 30 minutes away and I'm trying to decide if I'll just drive every 8 weeks to stay with my current stylist or go through the the pain of finding a new stylist. I usually go after work so every 8 weeks I'll have a late night if I stick with tried and true.

30 minutes isn't far to me. But everyone is different.

Natural hair is fun thus far but I miss the length of my relaxed hair when looking at old pictures.

I finally found a replacement for my staple leave-ins that were reformulated.

The PBN Muru and Sapote are divine and were my staples until they were reformulated. I haven't found anything that gives me that soft, smooth, highly moisturized and ridiculously emollient feeling that they offer until now with the CRN Milk.

I've been known to drive from Brooklyn to MD for a hair appointment, so maybe 3.5 hours is my max.

But maybe I'm not normal... Lol.

If this is a good stylist id would do the 30 mins drive. It's not long to me. If your hair has been doing well with her it's worth the drive.

I'm attempting to do cornrows with Marley hair tonight. Wish me luck.

I've done an hour and a half before.

I had the same hairdresser for 17 years when I was relaxed and when I moved over an hour away that just meant I was driving over an hour away every 2-3weeks. I will say that she was very good to me to because she opened the shop up for me at 8am on the Saturdays I would come down. I was finished and walking out by the time her other customers were coming in. If you like the service and the stylist 30 minutes will be time well spent!!

I do get a tiny, tiny bit envious when I meet a woman who has gone natural after me with bigger, lusher hair than I do. I think, What have I done wrong?

But then, I just appreciate that there's another head of lushous hair in the world and I give props.

 

[vevster]

Yeah, I'm in NY and there is no salon within 30 minutes of me that I want to go to. The last three places were all the way in Long Island, Harlem and Soho.

If that was my criteria............

 

[divachyk]

My average daily commute is 30 minutes to work. Anything I do beyond that is at least 30 minutes or more, including the hair salon.

@PJaye, what does CRN stand for? I'm drawing a blank on the acronym. Thx! ETA: Is it Camille Rose?

 

[beingofserenity]

Took a week off and now I'm ready to get box braids again this friday. This time I want them cut into a long bob, and maybe not as tiny. My hair grew maybe half an inch or slightly longer in five weeks last time.

I'll do a protein treatment, blow dry it as straight as possible. I don't think I will be washing my hair thia go around because it looks so sloppy so quickly and it still isn't actually clean. I think I will focus more on oiling my scalp. No other products to avoid buildup.

Yes, it's Camille Rose Naturals.

I have been itching for this style, it is too cute. But alas, I'm broke.

Aww lol

The place I go to charges $100, maybe less this time since I want them shorter and slightly larger.

It is so freaking hot outside. Going back to my roots and daily cowashing starting tonight.

 

[Jas123]

I just got my Pibbs 514 Qwik dryer... I got it from Ebay, ordered it Monday night got it this afternoon (Wednesday).... And the cherry on top is I only paid $165 including shipping.

I was going to do that too but this week it cooled down. When the weather gets hotter I'll be doing this as well though

I decided not to go to the Devachan salon because its too far for a daily commute for me. I just finished the second part of my stateboard test on monday and i'm praying I passed. I went all the way to albany to take the test or i would have had to wait until august. I had a better offer at the local JC Penney salon near me but i just needed my full license. I should get it soon (if i passed) Pray for me y'all because this job is much better, has benefits, paid training and paid vacation!

Crossing my fingers for you! @Napp

I was really hoping I'd hate the Miss Jessie's pillow soft curls ($18) but I love this fluffy wng

Happy birthday @AbsyBlvd !!!!

Thank you @shawnyblazes

I want to try the Shea moisture line with the pink and yellow label after I finish my suave professionals. I like to use up my cheapies and use redken or Paul Mitchell when I have my hair out.
