Have you tried design essentials almond/avocado shampoo? It is amazing and sulfate-free.
In fact (not to encourage you to buy more) I think you might like the whole design essentials line. Good ingredients and very moisturizing.
I haven't, but let me add it to the list
Thanks!trueheartofgold

It's definitely not a bad purchase.
Definitely not! I missed out though! The code was already inactive by the time I decided to make the purchase.

Was it you who recommended this earlier in the year? I got it and I like it a lot. It's really moisturising! Right now it's on my repurchase list!Have you tried design essentials almond/avocado shampoo? It is amazing and sulfate-free.

But I am seriously heartbroken over their Almond and Avocado Defining Creme Gel. They changed the formula!!

No!!!!!!! I need you to be set back as well, as you are the cause! LOL!
Well, when I review it I'll try to remember to tag you, though products act so differently on our hair. The green tea in it might be good for shedding.
You might want to try it anyway?trueheartofgold

I’ll see if they’ll offer another sale. I procrastinated too much and I missed it lol.

NYE side boob.
Maybe so, I have been on the design essentials train for a while
I literally don't need to buy a different shampoo ever, it's sooo good!

Me too I don't feel the need to purchase any other shampoo at the moment. I just need to use it a few more times before I assign it a HG status.Maybe so, I have been on the design essentials train for a while

It's floating around in one of those wish list threads somewhere.
I got through most of it last year. My goal was to be able to just coast in 2018, feeling very "uncurious" to try a whole bunch of stuff.
I'm ready! I've identified all my staples and a few holy grails. I have a "Use Up and Donate-to-Women's-Shelters Stash" plan. I've learned that the way I was handling my hair wasn't very damaging, so I can now simply proceed stress free. Finally, @Sharpened shared this AH-MAZING wash day video, and it has me hype! I have shifted my focus to fitness, and I almost can't believe I am free of worrying about my natural hair!!! I would kiss everyone here if I could, I'm so grateful.

I push that shampoo like it’s crack! Lol I used it Saturday after I used the Oat Protein to clarify.

The ingredient list is intimidating with 5 cleansing agents at the top, but it's very gentle on the hair.
Would you use it on your scalp as well?

I have, but I think I clarify more than anyone around here! Lol but anything that says detangling doesn’t get put on my scalp.

I need to figure out how to hack these used Bath and Body Works' candle jars to store my DIY shea butter and body scrub . I'm liking the decorative look of some. Off to YouTube.

I'm really enjoying the tutorials for the repurposing of the candle jars : q-tips, makeup brushes, cut flower holders, cotton balls... Etc..etc.

@Sharpened, thank you so much for sharing that wash day video you recently shared. I have tried to go back and find where I shared it so I can credit you, but I shared it so much I don't know where I did.
People were thanking me, and they really need to be thanking you. Thanks so much for it. It's really got me encouraged.

I do MHM, so I figured, let me try a lil Cherry Lola. Now, I don't do it often, about once a quarter if at all, but I'm just getting back to my hair, so I said, hey, let's start clean, right?
Well. I mixed it up and something made me get out my ph strips. Good thing I did. It was 9.0!!! Outside the healthy range for skin and hair. So I added some avg, tested at an 8.0. A little more, it slid down to a 7.0. And that's when I used it.
Cherry Lola is not a game, yall. I know yall already knew, but seeing it laid out like that was... stark. (I'm not too concerned about the effects of having used it in the past cuz I always halve the bs.)

stay at your best ♥
My hair is super light and flowy today. I’ve received a lot of compliments and it’s nice not to have my hair up in a bun today, especially since I suffer from frequent migraines and the tension can trigger them sometimes. I decided that I wanted to be a heat straightened natural sometime last year but the humidity over the summer was trying to block my blessing lol. I had such an easy time blow drying and straightening it this time due to some tweaks.
I Am So Blessed
I'm easy going.
Last night I had a dream that I had relaxed my hair. The dream was so real and sad I was heart broken! I was yelling and hollering saying "why did I do this, why did I do this?!!". My hair was long, but board straight. I said "NOW I have to wait two years to get my hair back" just the thought of those harsh chemicals touching my scalp Nooo! I was so relieved to find out it was just a stupid dream.

@YvetteWithJoy, Would you mind bumping those Komaza hair analysis threads? I know you reviewing them, with your (adorably) obsessive Scorp self. 
I gotta start getting ready, it's on the way, but I suck at searching on this board. Please help.

LOL! I will go find and bump. I've never had one! I hope it ends up being worth the cost.
