Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

I wanted to try a hat on in a store today, so I quickly put my hair in a bun and it was wayyy to easy to do. So I've come to the conclusion my hair has drastically thinned within the last few months and I haven't even noticed b/c I fluff out my hair so much.

What about Beautiful Textures Moisture Butter or Elasta QP Olive Olive Oil and Mango Butter. Both are thick, rich and dense. I think they would sub nicely. Both can be found on ground and super affordable, 6-7 bucks tops.
 
Loving my braids! I will be a braiding addict for the rest of 2014 as I attempt to transition to natural by August 2014.

I wonder if anyone had success doing inversion monthly and got 6 inches in six months lol...
 
RavenSR Here is the thread luv! Irish Moss is a good conditioner!!! Today was my first time trying it. I had practically no sheading and my hair feels like silk.

And this time, I dont smell like curry (as Fenugreek made me stink last week). LOL

Oh and no, I'm not literally throwing them away, but using whatever I have left in the bottles then.....in the trash! LOL
 
@Solila

Thanks! I have some Irish Moss and Fenugreek that I haven't used yet (along with another 20+ herbs and powders). I'm going to try them separately and together over the next few weeks.

I also plan to try mudwashing soon and if my hair likes it I will be giving away, selling or throwing away almost all of my hair products.

EnExitStageLeft,
Hmmm. I wanted to say with stuff silicone free and I know the elasta qp has silicones in it, but....I AM washing my hair with shampoo twice a week so it should be okay right? (I am lo-po and tend to build up easy). Do you know if it helps combat frizz?
 
My hair is filthy. I gotta wash this mess b4 Christmas. Can't be bothered today . Even tho it's starting to mat. Ugh.

Eden Bodyworks has curl defining creme that is ALLA' DAT AND MORE! Don't let then name fool you the stuff is moisturizing and has a bit of hold so its perfect for styling.

Its 8 or 9 bucks at Walmart or Sally's. That should be a excellent sub!
 
i kept my hair wrapped because i was cleaning the bathroom, didn't want any moisture to get in and frizz my hair. just took my scarf off and moisturized and sealed with my hair still wrapped, im greedy, i want to retain all the length i can while not major trimming for a while
 
When I just went natural, my regimen had 50-11 steps.Now I only have 1 product for each step. I have been wearing sew ins for all of 2013 and will do the same for 2014. I keep it for 2 to 3 months at the time. I am going to try the simplicity hair oil while I am in sew in and see what the benefits are.

I've had my Senegalese twists out for a little over a week and I'm missing the ease of having them. Can't wait to get more next month. lol

How often did you wash your twist?

I didnt wash at all until I reached a full month in them. I didnt use alot of product, just braid sheen spray 2-3 times a week so I didnt have build up. I wanted them to last and not frizz up so this is what helped me.

After the first wash, I washed bi-weekly then went to co-washing weekly when I knew I was close to taking them out to up my moisture. I had them in for almost 10 weeks and washed around 5 times total.

The plan for my next install is to purchase the Dove Nourishing Dry shampoo spray and use that once a week. Other then that I will do the same as last time: leave them alone for the first month...then wash bi-weekly until take out. Co-washing them the last time really caused them to frizz something fierce so I will skip that altogether.
