I just read an article designed to curb pj-ism. I know the author didn't mean it, but it felt condescending and seemed unhelpful/ineffective.

Falling in love with one brand seems to be curbing my pj tendencies. Time will tell!

Thanks! I was having a good month! Lol! Lots of water, few skin issues, and a successful trial twist out.
In the photo I have on a very light layer of SM tinted lotion, too, so I have some "help."

I did this when I used Wen briefly a few summers ago. Came out nice, had more volume at the top

I do that now - oil rinse and go. I play with gel sometimes to see what it can do for me.

Cut the relaxed ends off a patch of hair in my nape, added water & conditioner then ran a comb through it...i'm in love with that lil patch and have been touching it all day. Seeing that nice thick patch next to my relaxed hair shows me just how much relaxing thins my hair. Yup ya girl is officially transitioning. I'll bc in March 2018.

On the Grow and Keeping it Simple
When I went out to lunch today, I encountered one of the worst weaves I've seen on a white woman. She had brastrap length, blonde extensions; but her real hair was dyed, fried, poofy, ragged, and shoulder length. Tragic.

Tragic. With YouTube and Google around, ain't no way in tarnation that should be happening. For her sake I hope she's just depressed and doesn't actually think that looks cute.

Gotta remember to go to Sally's soon. Aphogee vitamins are buy 2 get 1 free again. Hoping I can use this $10 off $40 in store and not just online. May do a 1 year supply depending on expiration dates.

Hey Ladies,
For all who may be interested in the Water Only Hair Washing Method, I've just bumped & updated the thread from last year. You can read about the process and see how different ladies experimented with it with both success & failure on LHCF, Youtube, blogs etc. It seems everyone develops their own unique regimen depending on their hair/scalp/lifestyle - for instance some who sweat more often rinse more often, some who produce more sebum clarify more often, some who have highly porous hair add natural strengthening "conditioners" to reduce hydral fatigue, and there are a variety of natural non-sebum stripping ingredients some use to occasionally clarify or condition (ex: vinegar, clay, banana baby food, rice water, etc).
I believe I started at the end of March 2016 and hit some bumps in the road in the beginning and documented the process throughout the thread. This method got really popular a while ago, especially on Youtube but I'm not sure how many ladies are still on the regimen nowadays. All I can say is that my hair & scalp has truly thrived ever since I made this change

Thanks Sis! You are more than welcome. Sorry they are not the best quality but I hope they give you an idea of how my hair looks. Thanks for asking me to post them.

I finally went and got mine done. I paid more than I ever expected but they look good.
I'm drying my hair now then I need to figure out what I'm gonna do with it. Let's see how long it takes before I'm over wearing my hair and back to wigging it.

So now I have to find a Sally's that has boxes that expire after October 2017.
Hopefully by fall or winter, I will be able to grab my hair myself and use the timer on my camera.

Got my flat iron, will report back
Okay ladies! The verdict is in: I love this flat iron! It made my hair feel so silky and my hair felt cool to the touch after each pass. No burnt hair smell at all. Ceramic gives off a sort of moist heat, but the titanium wasn't like that at all and seems to be more compatible with my hair type. I was really nervous to use it and was expecting fire and brimstone but I kept the heat at 340 and my hair was blessed lol.
I also purchased a FHI Platform hair dryer and that thing is bae! This was such a pleasant hair day all around for me. The FHI dried my hair super fast and it just felt so effortless to use. I am very happy with my purchases. Not knocking the cheaper heat appliances but sometimes a $20 blow dryer will give you $20 results, ykwim??

Thanks for this idea. I tried it today. I likely had the measurements wrong though but my hair felt good after rinsing it out.

Girlllll, I got a Yellowbird like 5 years ago or so and I love it to life! The hot setting feels like Satan is breathing on your scalp. But I recently developed a fondness for blow drying on cool. It feels great on my scalp and I seem to lose less hair.

Creme of Nature Snot (i.e., Gel) Review

I've never used it weekly (once a month at most) so it can last me half a year or longer. Its pretty strong so I'm surprised you can use it that often. Can you cut every other application with another conditioner to stretch it?
