I went for a quick visit back home over the weekend and my mom told me she needed more products (I just sent my cousins and sister some products). Her friend told her about qhemet and now she wants.
I'll pick her some up during BF along with some CRN products. In the meantime, it looks like I'm sending another package of products this week. I think I have 3x 16 oz BRBC in my stash, I MIGHT send her one lol.

Her hair is growing like weeds @IDareT'sHair . It's super dry though. She doesn't DC so I need to find really good ROs and LIs for her.

My corrected shipment from NaturalleGrow came in.
Not only did I get to keep the 2-ounce sample size that was inadvertently given to me instead of the 8-ounce size I'd ordered . . . not only did she refund me for the cost of the 8-ounce size and ship me the product as close to INSTANTLY as one can get . . . but when my product arrived it was 16 ounces. SIXTEEN. 16 free ounces.
16 free ounces, when I had ordered 8 ounces and was given 2 ounces . . . and when I ended up paying for NEITHER because she refunded me.
That's 18 free ounces, all because she wants to go above and beyond to correct a very easily correctable issue.
Why did I just place these in my cart?:
1: Lemon & Mint Detoxifying Cleansing Conditioner (Co-wash) for healthy natural hair growth
2: Asian Pear & Coconut Soft Curl Defining Cream for healthy natural hair growth
Mannnnnnnn, I love this vendor!!! Let her make a product with a nice hold!

Thinking about continuing my daily cowashing/ wet bunning routine throughout the fall and winter. It gets cold here but I can wear a shower cap, a bonnet and a hat to protect my hair until I get to my destination which during this time of the year is either school or work. It only takes 2-3 minutes to bun my hair and it fully dries in 3-4 hours at its current length. So this routine is doable.
But I also want to protect my nape as I'm trying to grow it out so I think wigs would be the best option so my hair won't be rubbing against anything.

You got a lot of great options for R/O's. I love HV's for R/O's. And they are all 16oz's.
You could also try SSI Sugar Peach (12oz). SD's Destination Hydration (16oz) CJ Argan & Olive (12oz) Koils By Nature. Claudie's. You got a lot of 16oz options.

When hubby disinfected the bathroom, I had to move a lot of my hair products around and rearrange stuff.
That reacquainted me with my jar of Shea Moisture's Professional Line Curl Memory Leave-in Conditioner. SM makes a LOT OF CLAIMS for this product!
The description read;
I tried it months and months ago and did not like it at all!!! But when I came across it again the other day, I had the humble thought: "You know, Yvette, your technique is still a work in progress. Maybe you didn't have a good technique when applying/using this product."
Reading reviews and blog posts about this product had me HYPE!!! I was like, "Yeah-uh, Boyyeeeeee! It's about to be on if this works!!!" Then I notice that the SM site lists this product as "NOT FOR SALE."
So . . . what does THAT mean??? I think it means that if I do INDEED manage to achieve a great wash-and-go with this product, that likely won't be useful in a few months: The product seems to be discontinued. Awwww!

I think SSI has a Labor Day sale...maybe I'll do a mini haul for her then. I don't know much about Claudie's or HV, but I'll check out their sites.

I just realized I have been stressing too much about my hair..the more I stress about something, the more difficult things get. I want to enjoy the little progress I make no mater how small they might seem.

Hi Sis...dont worry, you will bounce back in no time. Set backs are part of the journey but the journey doesnt have to end there...it could be the beginning to a more successful journey. We learn and grow through set backs.Looking at old pics, I realize how much of a setback I've experienced. Sigh

So Sweet of you! Thank you so much for the encouragement!Hi Sis...dont worry, you will bounce back in no time. Set backs are part of the journey but the journey doesnt have to end there...it could be the beginning to a more successful journey. We learn and grow through set backs.
I'm definitely going to keep it moving... and try to backtrack my steps on the things that worked then.

I got a free hair color from Ion at Sally's today. They sent me an email and I sure did mosey on down there on my lunch. Right on time, I need to color this weave.

The CJ Repair Me and SSI Okra are the same product - they have similar ingredients, they behave in a similar fashion and produce the same results (e.g., excellent slip, ridiculous moisture and softness). Get one or the other, but there's no need for both products, says the person that has three bottles of both items.

The NS is supposed to last through a few washes and the effect should decrease gradually unless you clarify. Hopefully that's what is happening.I tested aveda naturally straight on my nape at ~400 degrees and it's so weird that one side reverted after being washed and the other side is still mostly straight... Is this heat damage or a good product??

Sitting at work thinking of how I wanted to throw in the towel and relax my hair a few months ago, but the relaxer I wanted kept being out of stock and when in stock the neutralizing conditioner would be out of stock LOL! Must habe been a sign because I am loving my natural hair and have the perfect regimen down! My curls have been behaving, very little to no knots and detaning has been a breeze. Thank God!

I am going to try my best to take more pics of my hair. I know it's growing, I can see the added length, but I still need to take pics...next year
