Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

I really really don't like when I'm watching a YouTube video and all a sudden LOUD music comes on that does not even match the video and it's not balanced with the volume of the speaker. It blows my mind! My thumb has to be placed on the mute button at all times JUST IN CASE some LOUD, CRAZY, STUPID, OBNOXIOUS sound effects come blaring out unexpectedly.

I guess I must use heat when DCing. 2 weeks ago I DCed with no heat and my hair felt so dry and crunchy. Thursday I DCed with heat and my hair came out so moist and took forever to dry. It's so shiny and lovely looking, everyone is giving me compliments.

I agree, my heat cap is a staple. Conditioners are pointless when not combined with heat.
 
I remember being such a product junkie when I was relaxed or even as a "loose natural". Now that I'm loc'd, I don't spend nearly as much money on products as I used to. I read one post about Megatek today and went to buy some. :lol: I'm going to "dress it up" with a few things and see if I can get a some good growth.

@shortdub78 I know her products must be great. I would try them if what I have wasn't working. Last year I put three of her soap bars in my cart and realized that there was no PayPal. When my J.R Ligget soap bars run out I'll try to order some of her's.

You will absolutely LOVE her shampoo bars. They are like the J.R. Liggetts shampoo bars but to the next level.

And, PayPal works on her site. :smile:

Here is an LCHF thread discussing use of her products: https://longhaircareforum.com/threa...oduct-reviews-tips-techniques-regimen.807789/

I was wondering if loced folks used hair growth products. I have quite a few and don't want to part with them. Hoping it will help me bud and grow.

I'm glad you liked it. Did you get the conditioner too? I guess salon quality products may just work better. It definitely works better than all of the sulfate free shampoo I have used over the past 6 years.

I didn't try the con. I use to use it though and it was a staple. After my success with the shampoo I'm starting to think maybe all natural everything isn't always the answer. I never thought I would say that but I guess my hair needs have changed.

I'm glad it worked for you. I haven't tried the new Therapee formula, but the previous one was a tad stripping. I was still transitioning with the last formula so maybe that was why? Nexxus is the only line in always have success with. Always. I use Humectress for a quick DC and it always works well.

I'm using the new formula and love it. It's not at all stripping to my hair. I'd say try a small bottle of the new formula to see if it's still stripping. I know when I was transitioning and newly natural over the counter shampoo was very stripping to my hair but now it's not so it could have just been the fact that you were transitioning.

@KinkyRN I started lightly rinsing with water and mine started to bud around 7-1o days. I wouldn't advise using any creamy or solid products directly on your locs because of the risk of build-up. Water based products should be okay. I plan to dilute the Megatek and use it directly on my scalp. If I see any buildup, I'll discontinue using it.

I read that watering would help budding. I have been lightly misting with aloe Vera juice and putting a little oil on it. Thanks for the advice.

I have 4 bottles of CRN Ginger Rinse, so I'll buy a liter with Ul.ta has their next liter sale and keep it there until I finish. The good thing is a liter will last me roughly a year because I use less sulfate poo than non-sulfate Poo.
 
Does anyone 'find' products that they forgot they had? My mum treated me to a very nice haul from Sephora last year, and I kinda forgot I had it. I just stumbled upon them again this evening. :blush:

It's from the Madam CJ Walker range. I've got

Scalp Exfoliator
Brassica Seed Blow Out Creme
Silkening Leave In
Wonderful Deep Conditioning Mask
Pre Wash Protein Treatment

I recall not being that impressed, hence why I only used it once, but I'll give them another go.

Very expensive for what it is.
 
It's hat season *sings* It's hat season ye-e-yea! Time to cover my head. Yes I wait for this time. I can keep my hair in twists, don't have to keep a style. This'll be my third year doing this. I wait for October. I have a huge bag of hats in my closet and they are ready to come out. Throw on a hat and some earrings and go to work.

About to make a trip to Burlington Coat Factory and buy some more. I love hats.

@NaturallyATLPCH, I thought I saw you post that you are using the Jakeala Shea Amla Parfait. Is that correct?

If so, what is the consistency of yours? If yours is soupy, then are you seeing particles in yours? TIA.
Click to expand...
Yes I am using it. None of the jars I have ever purchased were soupy. They were nice and whipped.
If you have a consistency issue, take pictures and send them to her. Her customer service is great and you will get it resolved.

I really like hats too but it's rare to find them that can fit over my head and my hair. Now that I'm wearing wigs I don't think it's going to happen. :drunk:

I thought I had that same probqlem once unit I found 9west Newsboy hats or Apple hats. And I also crocheted a couple. And my wooly hair can morph into as big or as small as I want it and I'll make it fit.
