Made my banana pre-poo, used banana, mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon of coconut oil, 1 teaspoon of safflower oil and conditioner. I'll tell you guys how this works.

Applied evco all over my hair a few hours ago. Now I am off to take a walk with my DD. When I get home then I wash the hair and use my conditioner I mentioned a few post back. I hope it works the sme this time as it did then.

Funny you mention that, I was just about to write about the smell. In the bowl it smells a little more like mayo but on the hair the banana is more overpowering. The consistency is creamy even with the banana chunks. I feel kinda like a banana split sundae right now though because for whatever reason this thing is drippy. I have old pants wrapped around my neck acting like a scarf to prevent more leaking. Under the plastic cap and grocery bag, I feel like my hair's going to come out soft.

My hair was so soft and easy to detangle today! Im in love with my hair again. I also just trimmed 2 inches to get this itch to BC out of my system.

Did you mix it with conditioner??

Hopefully they don't get stuck. I've read stories about banana chunks being hard to remove

halee_J -- For some reason, I don't toss old spritz bottles. I guess I feel like I have a need for them.
Myjourney2009 - how's the hair doing since the breakage you mentioned a few posts ago? I applied warm evco to my hair last night. I felt it was kind of pointless since I clarifying on today's wash. I'm glad I applied the evco, it had a positive impact on the entire process. Kept my hair feeling soft the entire time.

Sometimes I feel the need to be reminded as to why I'm on a HHJ. The cost of this journey is pricey (my own fault, I know). I spent way less going to the salon. I'm singing the blues because a few items will require purchase soon and both cost $30 a pop. Kenra DC and Alter Ego Garlic. I need to scale back on the amount I use. Less is more, right? Factor in the not so staple items...ya know, the items you want to try just cause. Sheez, that makes for a heck of a hair bill. ETA: The good is, I think I have my staples now. So, if I experiment less (or within reason) and focus on staples more, my pockets will be happy.
Today was first wash post relaxer TU. Clarified (Quantum Clarifying). Protein under hood dryer (Ion Effective Care Treatment). Currently steaming DC (Kenra). Hair felt great upon rinsing out Ion. I know some do not follow up with a moisture DC. I might be tempted to do the same the next time I use it. Hopefully my hair will be kind to me once I'm fully air dried. Hoping my TU took well. The first wash post TU is tell all to let me know if my TU was a hit or miss.

She looks like 4a, which is weird since members that claim to be 4a here look like 4b and say her hair is looser, so is Kimmay supposed to be 3c? Ugh this is why I don't like hair typing, too confusing.

Yup! Either you or another member gave me that idea in this thread. I only used real banana because they were just sitting there having no taste and spoiling. I was going to try whipping it but got lazy. Thanks for the reminder.

I love EcoStyler gel! The clear one 
Not sure if I moisturized properly so I ended up using some SheaMoisture on top of it (the Moisture Milk and the Mist). I had prepooed with coconut oil (my hair doesn't seem to like it...), put Smooth as Silk deep conditioner on top, rinsed it out, sprayed Waajid's bodifer (I thought it could be used as a leave-in... I typically used Alba Botanicals then bodifier), then used Eco Styler for hold.
Let's see how this hair experiment goes down... Hopefully If all else, I can always wash it out! I had used these products last week with GREAT results so I'm hoping for the best

My DD has the same type and texture
Kimmay is 4ab, she has fine strands.
If you watch a video she has of her version of a wash and go it looks nothing like a 4a wash and go.

This is a balanced conditoner that is why many (including me donot). Try a half and half next time you use it to see if you need to DC after.

I don't think she is 4a anymore unless that is what it looks like long. She's looks 3b kinda the coils seem to loose for 3c even.
Droid typing leads to typos for me

Her hair is wet in this vid and hair type doesnt change its just longer and gravity has taken hold. Take a look at her vids when she wears her hair out and its dry it looks different. Nothing like 4a or 3 anything

Love it. I use 99% all natural/organic products but this one right here will always be in my arsenal. Cones and all...I thought the exact same thing...4A and even maybe a 3c? 4b = AfricanExport to me.
OMG ME TOO! Mine aren't completely empty but I have a bunch that have like 1-2 more uses and they are just taking up room...I really wanna clean up and streamline my storage area!

I gave a box of products that didn't work for me last week to my niece. She has worn weaves for years and has very thick long hair. She now wants to start taking care of her hair so I knew they would be helpful, plus I know I had many products that I would never use.
I didn't realize it until I started to clean out my bathroom cabinet that I am a bit of a product junkie. But thankfully those days are over cause I think I have my staple products now. I am going to be consistent with them for this entire 12 week stretch, no more experimenting for me right now.
