Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

Thanks ladies!!

Now that Papaya Ultra Nourish Conditioner is wonderful...I mean if you're in the market for rinse outs

How does it compare to the Sugar Peach Conditioner?

 

[NaturallyATLPCH]

The only SSI that worked for me as a rinse out (and DC) was the Avocado conditioner. The Sugar Peach was just okay, but I'm sure I'll pick up another bottle to try it out again lol...
That Pomegranate Pear has been on my radar for weeks.

I find that the Papaya conditioner has more slip and allows for faster detangling plus leaves my hair softer than the Sugar Peach.
I also have to use way more of the Sugar Peach to get closer to the results I get with the Papaya one.

My recs -
If the Sugar Peach is working wonderfully for you, keep using it.
If the Sugar Peach is just okay on your hair, try the Papaya Ultra Nourish and/or the Apple Nectar Nourishing Conditioners.
If you just want more, all three are a good part of any stash

IOW, all of the above; exactly the answer I was waiting for while reading your post. Thanks so much for the detailed response. I really appreciate it.

Uhm, yeah, that touch up my happen this weekend. I washed my hair yesterday and i had a hardtime detangling. I lost more hair than usual too.

 

[Smiley79]

After being on this board for so many, I finally want to try Henna. Since my hair is short, now is a great time to give it a try since I don't have much to lose. I need to go research what to order and what recipe to try. @Aggie I may be hitting you up for some beginners tips.

Camera found; crisis averted.

I tried to upload the first gif I ever made and it is not working, saying I exceeded limits. It is only 15MB! I feel like a second-grader whose cool project failed, LOL.

I can't wait to try out the Hairveda vatika frosting. Gonna order some on black friday. I'm mainly getting it because of the lauded smell. I just got some Senegalese twists Saturday and I want to oil my scalp with the smell good of the vatika. I guess in the mean time I'll use my regular vatika oil.

I’m wearing my bob u-part this week... I’m just waiting for the influx of “you changed your hair.”

 

[GGsKin]

Lol. I put my hair up in a bun and everyone is 'loving my new hair'. At least they are being complimentary.

Lol I so hate that

 

[beingofserenity]

I think I've almost completely fixed my breakage problem..... my hair in a pony for the week so I'll have to see how the next few wash days go. But if I have fixed it, I'll be so happy. I'll have an easy, no fuss, and quick hair regimen for the first time in my life!

Then I can just focus on health and maintenance. I eventually want to grow my hair down to my hips.

I can't wait to get some the bolded myself. I used it many years ago and now revisiting using it again for the same reason as you and because I'm incorporating more ayurveda products in my hair care regimen.

Okay so I'm starting to think it's not about the shampoo it's about the sulfates that my hair likes. It may be too early to call but I just washed my hair with the tresemme botanique shampoo and my hair felt just as soft and easy to detangle as the nexxus. I'm not mad because the tresemme only costs $5.

I'll use it a bit longer to really see but I would love to be able to use any old sulfate shampoo and get the same great results.

I remember my hair was never picky about shampoos until the second bc. My hair may have never had an issue with sulfates. It could have just needed some time to adjust.

I too fell in love with the magic of nexxus earlier this year. It left my hair clean, soft and easy to handle. But I plan to switch to the Aussie moist 7in1 line which leaves my hair soft nearly to the point of greasiness and is cheaper and more accessible. I am fickle and don't like to use the same thing for too long.

And I love cones.

I regret I never got to try Darcy's Botanicals. I hope all is well.

Her pumpkin seed was goat ... I'm def gonna miss it. It was a staple of mine for years.

Yeah I've since gone the cheaper route as well. I've found that as long as it has sulfates it works for my hair. I don't know if I would ever go as far as using suave or something but tresemme, aussie, etc... works just as well as the nexxus so why spend more for a name.

I just realized not only is aloe vera a great prepoo....it's an awesome detangler. Soon as it hits my hair, my strands melt. Thank you God for your creations.

I feel the EXACT SAME WAY!

 

[I Am So Blessed]

I love that I don't have to have tailbone length hair to have a HUGE bun.


With natural hair you can make SL hair into a full bun....the secret is all in the volume not the length.

Do you make your own straight from the leaf?

Wow, I love this.

 

[Virtuosa]

I melted raw, organic, unrefined cocoa butter and applied to dry hair while in liquid form. My hair melted and I haven’t had to moisturize in 4 days. This is heaven. And I smell like chocolate. Glorious.

 

[Smiley79]

I buy the leaf from my grocery store, peel the edges and one side, then rub it directly on my edges, scalp, and hair. Instant melt down.
I haven't tried blending it yet.

You have been quiet! Lol where have you been?

I been working!! Lol. Just busy with life stuff, traveling, school, relationships

I'm solid with my hair right now so I don't spend as much time thinking about it anymore.
