Got a random urge to henna my hair but there's no coconut milk here.... Yeah I'm not chancing it.

why do you need coconut milk when you are doing henna? what does it do that aloe vera juice or water doesn't? (just asking because i see a lot of receipes call for it, but i often just substitute with avj, not sure if i'm missing out on some of its benefits tho).
 
Does anyone know of a good place to buy bone combs other than hairsense.com? I just purchased two combs from her and they're both trash.

Hey no problem. I used to henna my hair with only tea etc. but I've found that coconut milk mixes are the easiest to rinse out. Otherwise I have really irritating henna on my scalp.

thank you for this! i'll add it to my next henna gloss. do i replace it with the water/aloe vera juice or do i still use avj?
 
I co-washed my hair yesterday with Deva Curl No Poo; my curls are super defined and bouncy. I'm not a fan of the smell, the floral scent is a little overpowering, but the intensity doesn't last that long. I'm going to alternate this with my ORS creamy aloe.

And I finally found Curls Blueberry and Mint Scalp Treatment at Target. This winter has done a number on my scalp and it's been so dry and sore. I applied this yesterday on my really dry/sore spot in the back after my hair dried. And my scalp drank it right up and it feels so much better. When I go to Target next week, I'm going to but another bottle as back up. I also like the fact that the cap has a dropper attached, because I can applied the treatment right where I need it.

Friday, I straightened my hair for the first time since my BC (my one year anniversary is tomorrow:toocool:) . I used the splitender after straightening each section. Then I trimmed an addition half inch with my shears throughout my entire head.

So, yesterday I was styling my hair for the day and this one particular section was being unruly. I sectioned the hair off, grabbed my scissors but, before I cut it, I looked at the ends... not a split hair in sight and it was even! There was absolutely no reason for me to cut it. I really need to hide my scissors!

I’m just as scissor happy as the stylists that I talk about! :look:

I cant find this treatment locally at all
 
I love Woopie Goldburg's hair on "Sister Act" come to think of it she was always always natural. Her and Rudy Huxtable are the only naturals I remember seeing back in the Day.
Thinking....Oh yea there was Maxine Shaw from Living Single I LOVE HER!!

Her and Kyle Barker made a beautiful chocolate couple. Oh man were they gorgeous together.

Back in the day we were "SHOOK" to go out with "nappy" hair. Now look at us, like lambs.

But What happened to all that Fro Love from the 70s?

Just thinking out loud...

Especially when your trying to not break one single hair.
I always forget to bring a plastic bag, gotta go all the way back downstairs to grab one with conditioner still on my hands.

Wash days.

See I'm barely touching shoulder length right now and i'm already over it. :lol: i can't imagine how you feel with all your hair!

it's worth it though. i can see a difference in the sheen and appearance of my hair when i don't DC. it's bouncier too.
 
Annettemint got me turned out right now!!! Every. Single. One. Of her videos is pure hair porn. I just finished watching her co-wash routine video and oh my wordddd :drool: She has the most beautiful, thick hair I've ever seen, and her videos remind me of old youtube. I can't believe she's so unpopular.
Imagine her hair at TBL :eek2:

All my life, I thought I had "bad" hair. Over time I've realized that I just didn't know how to properly take care of it. You can't abuse something and expect it to thrive

I think black women as a whole thought they had gotten the shorter end of the stick regarding hair (at least once in their lives). At the bolded: SO TRUE.

I remember being in junior high on a "nature" field trip once. I happened to be in line behind a white girl with long hair down to her waist or butt (not unusual for them). I remember thinking "I will never have hair that long". I just knew black hair could not grow past shoulders. I would have never believed it could grow. I believed that "black hair don't grow" as much as I believed water is wet! How stupid I was. I could have had a long butt length braid too, just like Sue.

I agree that her hair is beautiful and also shocked that she isn't as popular.
