I found the Cleansing Pudding to be less stripping than the Cowash. I have never tried keracare though.
 
So this teenaged boy pulled a strand of my hair today. I never wanted to strike someone so badly. After I threatened him, his friend whispers to him "it's real..told you"

I can't deal.

Victoria44. Love your hair! Could you give me the 411 on your regimen and the products you use? I'm under the impression you wear twists or braids alot.

Hey Harina! Thank you :grin: I do wear twists a lot.

My basic regimen is to finger detangle with water and coconut oil, then wash and deep condition my hair in twists, and let it air dry in 10-12 braids.

Once its dry I usually put in small/medium size twists, and keep them in for two weeks and then untwist, and finger detangle and wash all over again. I don't use combs.

As for products I already mentioned water, and coconut oil for detangling
shampoo- argan oil one n only moisture repair shampoo (i think thats the name)
deep conditioner- castor oil layered with shea moisture purification masque over it
leave in- kinky curly knot today sealed with castor oil

and during the week I moisturize by lightly spritzing my hair with water, then apply oyin handmade hair dew or qhemet biologics burdock root buttercream and sealing with a little castor oil.

That's pretty much it! I try to be as low maintenance as i can tolerate.

Oh and I don't wash with the small twists in because if I do, I tend to get a lot of unraveling and massive tangles when taking them down.

:)
 
You know what question annoys me even though it shouldn't?

"Is that your real hair?"

For one, I find that incredibly rude. Also, why wouldn't my hair be mine? Why is that the natural assumption?

I'm sorry. I'm just venting. That question really irks me.
 
My mom bought me a gallon of Wen 613. I've never used Wen before. I'm intimidated to use a conditioner this expensive.

Me too^^^^^
 
Wearing a dress today. Totally lost my lotion so I sprayed my moisturizing hair mist in my knees and sealed with oil hahaha no more ashy knees!
 
I finally figured out why Mizani Rose H2O moisturizer makes my hair feel like crap. Mineral Oil, Petrolatum, and dimethicone are all pretty high up on the ingredient list.

Also, why would mineral oil come before glycerin? That doesn't make sense.
 
I found some split ends on my two strands twists and snipped them. Gosh, it seems like nothing can stop them from coming! :perplexed
 
I'm going to trim my ends today. I can't wait! I haven't done it since March I think. My hair has been more tangled lately so I need to spend time nursing my ends.
 
Back home in MD/DC. Definitely a different hair scene. I feel much more confident as a naturalista in Boston. Extension city in MD makes me feel a little self conscious.

I feel you on that, Boston is definitely pretty natural-friendly. I go to school here and I'm always feeling tempted to transition.
 
I've given it a solid two months and have concluded that pre-pooing is NOT for me. It does absolutely nothing.
 
Got my hair cut today after like 9 months by my long time stylist Anthony Dickey at Hairules. I just knew I was going to hear it when he got his hands on my hair, it's been maybe 9 months since my last trim :/ I was shocked when I got a clean bill of health:) He told me he doesn't think he's ever seen my hair this healthy and that I've been doing a great job caring for it and acknowledged how much it had (he's been cutting my hair for 6 years). He said I have nothing and you know I would tell you, keep it up. He didn't have to cut off much at all:)

I'm was so excited to get this feedback :)
 
I forgot about pantyhose headbands and ponytail holders.

They are so soft and stretchy. No more headaches.

I can't see any mentions on my IPhone. PM me if it is a must see. Allons y
 
Was going to get some Liquid Gold but realized I have the same type of oils at home already. All I need us some sulfur. So I plan to buy some and keep it moving...
 
I need to restock on my teas. Favorite it Rooibos. Putting on my shopping list for today. I am also on a personal challenge not to use any heat until Christmas...this will be interesting. It's almost a waste for me to use heat anyway because I end up pinning my hair up because as I am not used to having anything on my neck and super paranoid about my ends rubbing on my clothes or getting caught up in my jewelry.

What I decided to do was to melt the butters I wanted to use over a double boiler (big pot filledl halfway with water, brought to a boil, then lowered to simmer, then placed a big glass bowl on top of the pot to gently heat and melt the butters in) and then I added 2-3 teaspoons of fenugreek powder (I ground my seeds up in my vitamix), 1 teaspoon of hibiscus powder, and a a half-teaspoon each of amla, brahmi, and bhringraj. ReviveUk on YouTube says to use about one tablespoon of herbs for every 100ml of oil. I have had this mixture infusing in the double boiler for nearly an hour. I'll let it infuse for about an hour-hour and a half total, and then use some cheesecloth to remove the solid herbs/powder from the melted butter. Then, I'll let the butter infusion cool to a soft solid and begin whipping it. I'll also be adding some honey, glycerin, tea trea oil, and vitamin e.

I'll take a pic when I'm done to show what it looks like.
