I think I am going to be in love with this Zen Detox. Didn't detangle, no shampoo, no conditioner, 30 minutes ... my hair feels soft and moisturized. 
I let my hair air dry and shrink and no tangles. I actually twisted my hair with no product 
For a minute I even thought I might be able to do a WNG
But I'm not that crazy.
I can't wait to do it again next week. I have a feeling I have found a staple.

Washed hair and have it pulled back instead of the rollerset. Want to baby my edges more so need to lay them down. I have a nice ponytail back there, but still not sure what style I'll wear in the morning..Eh

Tonight I will oil my entire head. It's itchy, but like I said before I can't trust this cheap weave I have in so I can't wash my scalp.
Next week this is coming down after I get my full 4 weeks worth of wearing lol. Try to find a cute updo to put this weave in for tomorrow.

I have found that Taliaah Waajid Protective Mist Bodifier helps to remoisturize my twistouts. Its like a natural, glycerin free S curl or Hawaiian Silky spray. New staple.

i am going to buy a new wig this weekend. it is going to be the same one that i have. i am going to buy that same wig for awhile. everyone thinks it's my hair and it's short. i swear the process for washing my hair is getting more time consuming, but whatever.
i used that Hair One cleanser to wash and detangle my hair in sections. i really love it. then i twisted each section, rinsed, then took down each section to apply dc, and retwist. now i got a plastic cap on. i will rinse in an hour. i had to do all of this mess at the sink, instead of the shower. didn't want to waste water.

I ran across it in CVS yesterday. I thought I'd found gold or something. However, I resisted actually purchasing it because I bought some oyin stuff online yesterday afternoon.

NikkiQ- that is the route i'm taking for the summer. I look like something straight up out of the Color Purple!
but i know my hair will thank me for it in three months. i am rocking the Mommy Wig this summer. i bought a satin spandex cap to wear underneath the wig, so my twists won't dry out, or get damaged from the friction.

I'm probably going to try to make my own wig or half wig with all this extra weave I have laying around instead of paying to get a sew in done. I relied on Celies during the last half of my transition and Lord knows that helped me out BIG time! lol

I'm having the urge to chop the rest of these relaxed ends off. Might do it this weekend

kandake, I actually purchased the spray little over a year ago while I was transitioning-for my new growth. I hadn't heard the name, but the ingredients were on point. Then I didn't know how to use it. I was wearing my hair bone straight and the spray made it a litle too oily and weighed the relaxed ends down. I just recently started doing twistouts. Now I have a use for it.

After reading Riverrock's thread about sister locs, I kind of had an epiphany about pipe cleaners. I've never been able to have a successful twist out and braidouts sometimes flop because my ends are straight. Perm rods don't work for me. Hmmm... :scratchch
For the next six months I am committing to no heat and deep conditioning at least 2 times a week.

^^^ I may be biased but I think people are flocking to it because many of us having print outs of the authors articles from AC in our hair journals. The what's and why's are nice to have on hand without having to read through several threads on the topic....again I may be biased because I loved the articles and thoroughly enjoyed the book. Amazon.com seems to have stock.

@EllePixie if that's the case someone's getting rich quick
The author is aka sistaslick she has posting on here from years ago and similar writings on Associated Content.
What else are you reading anything good?
Gotcha - if she is already an established writer on black hair care, I feel better about it. Someone told me yesterday that she suggests condishes with cones are better though (not that I am anti-cone), so I was like
.I'm getting a couple of books on feminism - Full Frontal Feminism and The Feminine Mystique.

I'm starting to see where I went wrong in my previous 3 transitions--yes, three failed transitions, but I think it's gonna work out this time!

Are you going to write about your thoughts in your blog? Just wondering
Anyways... I braided my hair in individuals this Monday... and I'm already itching to take them out. I miss my hair! My mom goaded me on to do it, and I don't like them. They look nice... but argh. I miss my hair ;__;

I was talking about the latter. But now I'm thinking about both
LOL my thoughts on feminism would probably cause firestorm, so no way. But if I got that book I'd def review it...but I dunno if I feel like spending $25 on something that isn't going to offer me any new info....

dear acquaintance,
Do not interrogate me about my hair every time u see me and make backhanded compliments as you feel through my hair uninvited with your dirty hands. Don't tell me my hair is pretty but then say I have a teensy weensy ponytail with your gap toothed smile. And i'm not stupid, I know you're gently tugging and/or feeling for tracks. Get a life, hussy!
Signed,
Back the *** UP!
