Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

Embrya after boiling and straining it was definitely a gel, but a bit runny. But once it cooled it got super thick, esp after o/n in the fridge :yep:
 
thanks halee_J i read leaving it overnight gets more gel so thats what im doing but the water isnt thick at all maybe i need more seeds:perplexed did you use the brown or golden seeds?
 
Embrya how are you making your gel? Are you soaking the seeds first?

I followed naptura85 recipe 1/4 cup dry seeds : 2 cups water. Boil till thick, strain. I used regular brown seeds.
 
the sallys argan oil line :love:
it's too soon to say but i may have found my staple line. as in, i can use ONLY this line.

halee_JYeah im soaking them first only because i heard you get more gel that way on NC ......looks like i added too much water i added nearly a litre even though i watched the naptural vid already smh.......ill boil it off tommo :lol:
 
Embrya Lol you nut! Trust you to drown the seeds :rolleyes: :lol: Yeah just boil off the excess, it should be good. I'm going to try soaking the seeds first next time too :yep:
 
The regimen I have now is fantastic! My hair feels so soft and healthy. My new growth has never felt so moisturized and manageable:yep:.
Almost daily cowashing
1-2 steam sessions a week
Frequent dc's
Maintain balance:yep:
 
Brand new 32 oz jar of EVCO but my hair feels too good to disturb. *sigh* Ah well. There's always tomorrow. :ohwell:
 
I'm only 12 weeks post, but I think I'm going to go ahead and get a touch-up and corrective next week. I'm really tired of trying to work with this underprocessed hair and the way it's been breaking and tangling, I don't think I can afford to wait another four weeks.
I'll probably have to get a trim too.
 
I love this forum thanks to Allandra I am water spraying my hair everyday consistently. It seems to reactivity my leave in. I used 8oz water and 2 vials of 619;)
ETA I only use distilled water

kinkycurlygurl I read your post in the terressentials thread, and I'm considering this too :yep: I'm thinking of trying this first and if I like it, I go full speed ahead and make own with all the infused herbs and whatnot. I'd like to get away from shampoo and my hair doesn't like washing with conditioner.

Do you DC before or after using it? Is it mositurizing? I can see from you avi you're a type 4 something, are you coarse medium or fine textured?
 
Sitting putting in twists for a future twist out when I realize maybe I should let my hair air dry to about 50% then put the twist in for some length, duh! :spinning:

Went a little crazy just now and ordered 6 half wigs. I have never worn a half wig before but after watching too many youtube videos I decided to buy some to give me a break from trying to figure out what to do with my hair. Now Im wondering if synthetic was the best choice.

Does anyone know how long these synthetic half wigs last???:perplexed
 
My hair is not as sebumy as I'd like today. Coloring over the weekend stripped it to nothing. It's feeling like it will take at least a week to get my sebum coating up to snuff.
 
Dear CCCA ......Please Stop this torment on my scalp.... I want my !@#@ hair back.... Thanks Sincerely, iztiredofmyhair

sugahoney I usually wear mine for 1-2 months tops and then it's time to go in the trash. I don't try to wash them or detangle them b/c I just get too frustrated and say *** it :lol:
 
Wondering why a poster make 50million threads week after week asking about "help me" hair breaking and people tell them to stop with a certain product and m/s and they don't do it. Instead month after month their hair is getting shorter and shorter and keep asking for advice. Yet they refuse to make any changes.

I really don't understand this. It is like complaining about tripping and falling. Everyone tells you to tie up your shoes and you keep letting them drag on the ground and you keep falling down. Then you are all bruised up and sore but you still won't tie your shoes.
 
I appreciate all the advice given here and to me personally. Thanks so much ladies the information is invaluable.
I have learned so much in a year.
I am passing on this knowledge to my daughter. I wish I had been armed with this knowledge years ago.
 
My new fragrance oils came and smell sooooo damn GOOD!!!

This cocoa butter........i want to eat it and by the end of the day i know i will have tasted some there i said it....I FEEL NO SHAME :look:

I wonder if you could get your hair reasonably stretched, smooth and silky with a roller set or curl formers, would you then be able to blow it out and get it fairly straight with less damage than flat ironing?
