Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

Bwahahaha.

Prior I made like 5 ounces of oil and just poured it on like it was nothing and wondered why my hair was hard. @Sharpened told me I was using too much oil. So I used much less this time and applied oil right after I washed, then used deep conditioner.

After rinsing the conditioner, my hair was softer but still had a little stiffness. Probably the clumping. It was detangling that bomb. The knots and tangles definitely come out easier.

I'm going to keep using it to see how it works long term, because you know the LoPo life :rolleyes: love and hate is daily change.

Girl, ALL of this. I tired oil rinsing earlier last year and loved it at first. But I felt as though over time, it caused buildup. Now I wonder if maybe I too used too much or maybe I should try another oil.

What oil are you using?
 
@FelaShrine
Mielle Organics Babbasu & Mint. You can fine the Line at Sally.

Sally has quite a bit of the "once" Handmade Naturals now. (I still mainly support the on-line Handmade Natural companies primarily).

You may also want to look at the Mane Choice as well as Alikay Naturals and many other brands now being featured there and Target and some of the BSS.

A lot of folks are also liking some of the new Design Essential products as well.

I just used HV Shikakai oil. It has castor, sweet almond and herbal stuff.

I would like to try MCT possibly mixed with Wheat Germ or Pumpkin Seed. Something a bit on the lighter side. I'm going to avoid JBCO because it leave terrible buildup long term. Regular castor and HBCO do not.

Yes, It wasn't anything coming out of those jars; and they were sitting on the porch for awhile before I came home.
@AgeinATL
It has such a creamy texture, but only a little is needed for my low-po fine texture. Of course, you guys have a lot more hair!:drool: As soon as I applied the Mango and Pumpkin Conditioner to my hair , i noticed that it was able to soak in nicely before I applied my conditioning cap :toocool:.
It absorbs really well and rinses clean. I didn't notice any buildup or film on my hair, which is important since I'm wearing a flat twist/2 strand twist combo for a protective style . I also took a little and applied it as my leave-in. Again, no film or white cast noted on my hair.
This is my review for a first time use. However, I definitely would like to try more products, and I've been lurking on the Etsy site. The sale starts tomorrow.Based on the professionalism of this Etsy vendor, I definitely will continue to buy. I'm hoping for many more products!

Yeah I will be picking up some CES this afternoon from Target. Might get a SM deep conditioner too. I need a hair treat for this Sunday.

I have some other products under my cabinet that I do not like and cannot return. Suggestions ladies??

Thanks sis for the awesome review! She is a great vendor!
 
@victory777

Excellent Review on Kindred Butters. :goodpost:

I agree. The Products are Great. Sales are Good and Customer Service has been stellar (so far).

I look for many good things from this particular vendor. I know she is really into Healthy Ha.ir Care just by her ingredients and her back story on her ETSY Page.:infatuated:

I love supporting the Handmade Naturals community and see BW Winning.:trophy:

@Beachy Did you get in on the 50% HQS Sale B1G1 Free?

I thought about it but I was little disappointed the last time I ordered from her. Everything I ordered came but the consistency was much lighter than my original orders and actually became a little frothy when I put them in my hair. My hair likes THICK conditioners, so with all the other challenges she was having I decided to end my brief affair with HQS.
 
I'm using a product that my hair loves and defines it like a dream. My twist outs actually look decent, and in 10 years of being natural that has never happened to me. Normally my twists look terrible (fine hair problems). Okay, they still do, but the twist out is on point. Only one problem: not black owned.

I only bought it because I might have to throw it in the trash when I move in a few weeks.:look:

I am planning on going back to Oyin and QB. There are several lovely black owned beauty supply stores that I am planning on throwing my hard earned coins at.

Feel like I'm pullin a Jesse Williams with my hair. Think I'll feel less guilty when I rub some BRBC in it.
 
I did find a way to stretch my wash days to 2x a month, but doing so required more regular manipulation than I am used to. I figure its better to end this experiment now, 1 month in, rather than wait longer and risk a setback. I am far too close to my next length goal to let that happen. Soooooo, I'm going back to weekly washes with a midweek moisturize and rebraid.

I might just keep using the cream! :look:
 
Macadamia nut butter reportedly is similar to sebum, chemical structure -wise. :scratchchin:

I'm attending a free natural hair conference tomorrow. They will have a natural hair fashion show at one point during the day. :up: :smile:
 
@shortdub78 I finally flat ironed (sort of) my hair so I could attempt to clip the ends. I ran out of relaxer on the left side so that's why the right side looks less puffy. I'm not the best at flat ironing or trimming so there's that :lachen: I didn't do the back since I can't see back there lol. I tried to take some good pics but it kinda didn't work out

Edit: I did take pictures but for some reason I can't upload them. I keep getting "there's a problem with your image"
