LOL! I will check it out. I will still do wash n gos, especially in the summer. But fall and winter I will be on rollerset mode.

@RossBoss Yeah come on over to the Setting thread! That's a great idea to start in the fall so you won't have to fight with humidity.
 
Thinking aloud:

If I let go of washing and going until my hair has the length required to result in a wng I love, then I can shift my thinking and activities surrounding my hair care. Concentrating so much on my hair is like watching a pot boil, and trying to get an "I loooooove it" wash and go has been the main culprit! :lol:

I'm hoping that if I move to simply doing ayurvedic hair care and wearing my twist-outs down for a few days and up for the remaining days of the week, that will pull me back a bit. :smile:

I hope. :look:

I'm going to test this theory for August. I'll purge a lot of my so-so products (give them to homes who may really love them) and see how my ayurvedic products do my hair. :yep:
 
I'm itching to straighten my hair but I'm terrified of heat damage. Maybe I should look into doing a roller set? I'm going to a salon on Saturday so hopefully I'll figure something out before then
 
I'm currently 5 months post. I'm too lazy to get a touch up.

I bought ORS Olive Oil cream after years of not using and my hair loves it so far, especially my new growth. I'm not sure why I stopped using it in the first place.
 
Found my 2016 favorite hair products list lol it's so different now and that was only a year ago smh product junkie problems

2016:

Alikay naturals black soap shampoo
Alikay naturals avocado repair mask
Pantene cleansing conditioner
Shea moisture Jamaican black castor oil leave in
Camille Rose Fresh Curl
Belnouvo Deep Quench butter
Oyin Handmade pomade
Camille Rose Curl Maker

2017:

Literally only one product from the old list

Belnouvo Deep Quench butter
Mielle Organics Deep Conditioner
Mane Choice Tropical Moringa Daily Spray
Mane Choice Tropical Moringa Daily Sealing Cream
Mane Choice 24k Egyptian twisting gel
Verb Ghost oil
Vo5 Kiwi Lime conditioner
Qhemet Biologics cleansing tea
Qhemet Biologics Amla and Olive heavy cream
Qhemet Biologics Aethiopika butter
Elucence Moisture Benefits shampoo

Also, Alikay Naturals Shea yogurt moisturizer. Funny because when I first got it I thought it was trash. Figured out how to use it and I love it. This is something I'll use if I wear my hair out (ponytail or fully out). The rude folks that took your hair without asking will be shook at how soft it is and harass you with questions.

@YvetteWithJoy Hey! Nice pic! :2inlove:

Are you still using the Hair Flair? If so, do you use it for deep conditioning? What dryer do you use and does it stay intact? Thank you!

Thanks!

I do use the HairFlair still. I deep condition with it and dry my hair when my twists are pinned around my head or when I have rollers in.

I was unable to use my super high wattage hair dryer with it. It got too hot.

I had to purchase and use a Sally's brand dryer. I'll share the specifications once I'm back home.

I wouldn't repurchase it. Instead I would get a hard hood dryer, either standing or table top. But it performs well enough.

My hair is solidly MBL now. When I was dentangling it today it actually looked and felt that way. My twists stayed on my shoulders and back after I detangled and put prepoo on them.

Also screwed myself over by forgetting to layer Xcel 21 first and then oil. Detangling took ~4 hours versus 2.5.

The hair blow dryer I use with it is the GVP Pro 1800. Someone on the forum told me that she uses it with the HairFlair, so that's why I got it.

It works perfectly with the HairFlair. Not too hot, and not too cold, as my other one was.

I think that would be best. I stopped all wash and gos until I got to a length where it looked how I like my wngs to look. It helped me not to obsess over length and criticize my wngs. It also forced to to experiment with other styles.
