Doing a scalp treament with white vinegar, ACV, EVCO, and tea tree oil. Whew, scalp is smelling sour. :look: Hopefully this helps my scalp's aggressive dandruff until my psoriasis shampoo gets delivered.
 
I don't know what's going on with my hair. First off I'm just trying to keep my edges growing and I'm doing a good job at that now my usual part down the middle is missing a piece like I have a bald spot right at the beginning of the part. I'm just getting really frustrated with my hair right now.
 
Oh my goodness, I LOVE the Organix Repairing Awapuhi Ginger Conditioner, this one is so moisturizing. I know I talked about the Organix Hydrating Macadamia Oil Conditioner but it feels a lot like a treatment. It's weird... it's like it's the other way around for me, the Macadamia feels repairing whereas the Awapuhi feels hydrating. Anyway absolutely LOVE it! Ugh I want to wash my hair all over again just to use it, I'm infatuated. :lovedrool:
 
Nix08 - I'm not sure if they sell the videos separately. It was included in one of my orders when I wasn't on the monthly purchase plan.
 
I'm in a Dominican salon under the dryer right now. I have a few observations while I'm here:

They seriously over process the mess out of hair. I'm watching a relaxer take place while cringing. This poor woman has relaxer plastered to her head brought down at least 3 more inches than where it needs to be applied and of course the rest of her is bone straight.

The blow dryer is the devil. I really finally see it. I def do not see the value add in using the blow dryer it is simply not made for fine hair types - especially fine, coarse, and kinky. It will break off this type of hair pretty quickly.

This whole wash and blow business is def not suited for many of our type of hair. This is why I think some hair types fare better at the Dom salon than others. This is just my observation from years of going on and off to them. I have a friend with heavy thick and very curly 3b hair. She use to get a rollerset and blow 2x/month and within a few months her hair became terribly dry and she had to chop off the back of it. Her blow out results were always flawless but the massive amt of heat really took a toll on her hair and her hair can withstand some wear and tear lol.

I think the flat iron does pretty well on all of our hair types. It gives a very smooth finish and seems to be the lesser of two evils. I love the idea of rollerset and flat iron. If there were shops that offered that as an option for relaxed hair I'd probably go more frequently.
 
I had to rush my routine this morning, and my curls look jacked. Not pleased...may quickly cowash tomorrow, just so I can refresh my hair. Psh...I look like a wild woman.

Should I take these twists out? They've been in for three weeks and still look pretty good to me. I do want to wash and deep condition though. *sigh* Maybe I'll just let it ride for another week.
 
my hair is ugly ugly ugly!! i may chop soon. It's been exactly one year since i bigchopped (well, i did it on 11/11/11). I'm sick of this hair.
 
I just realized that I've officially passed that awkward stage. My wash and go sits at SL and my hair is APL. Shrinkage isn't so bad anymore.

I was just about to say the same for my own hair. I made it to APL this month and my braid-outs and twist-outs look much better with the added length. I really hope this awkward phase ends soon as my hair grows to BSL.

The journey to BSL is going to be a beast. :lol:
 
Seriously thinking about coloring my hair to track growth. But I think I would probably transition. I cringe at the thought of being double processed. Off to do more research.
 
Just oiled my scalp and hair with Amla oil...I have on to scarves and I'm ready for bed...tomorrow I will wash and dc then it is back in a bun. I hope to make WL by my Bday in March.
 
My scalp is unbelievably itchy and flaky. I think it's the change in seasons.:ohwell: Normally I'd use ACV to take care of it but I'm going try Aloe Vera Juice this week. Just hope my scalp can last a couple more days.
 
Will probably put some green tea extract on my scalp for shedding. I need to get some protein in here so am going to try my kerapro. I'm feeling really lazy so don't want to use my steamer so I may triple up on the heating cap. Ugh. Ready to air dry
 
I saw a girl with the most awesome hairdo on the boat. She had locks in a twisted updo like @bajandoc does and then the ends were in a folded loc fro. It looked so cool!!
 
i've really stepped up my haircare game over the last year....i really hope wsl is on the way in 2013. i was bsl when i went to the salon last month. i have been very lazy since this hurricane and not untwisting my hair....maybe that's a good thing cause its low manipulation and just mositurizing & sealing. going to untwist/detangle, pre-poo, wash, do a hardcore protein treatment, and condition later today. if i don't work on monday i shall leave my twists in again instead of taking them down for a twistout.

Taking care of black hair is not nearly as difficult as people make it out to be.

Agreed. Two basic principles work for my hair: keep scalp clean and keep hair moisturized and in balance. I don't have problems as long as I stick to those two principles.
 
Thinking of switching my relaxer to the ORS (Lye of course) line. I've also been thinking of that Lineage line. I want just a little more texture than I have now without adding oils and stuff.

I am not a fan of ORS because when I was younger and using it, it's always made my hair too straight. I have a jar, but I used the Mizani BB HG Lye my last relaxer and it softened my waves nicely. Still texture there. I'm not a fan of texlax ing as I relax between straight and texlax so I will continue this. Idk I know ORS is good but that was my experience even when I didn't want it.
