Smiley79, henna color takes a while to build. And you can add things to change the colors. Like cocoa powder for a chocolate red or hibiscus tea for a vibrating copper red.

Even with weekly application it takes about 3 to 4 times to notice anything. After a couple months my hair was very red all over.

It's not a waste of time if you're patient. And for me, dyes disintegrate my hair. Henna makes it thicker and keeps it healthy and is my only alternative for color.

DarkJoy thanks girl but do you think I could ever achieve beautiful honey blonde with henna?
 
thanks girls, no i wasnt trying to go blonde. I ventured into henna simply for the conditioning benefits after having such great success with Cassia. But at the same time, I have been wanting to color my hair (which is where the brownish/honey blonde comes in the story) and I would have loved to be able to achieve a nice fun and vibrant color using Henna. After researching, I saw that most women who henna'd got that reddish/orange color it any color at all. So I'm at a point where Im wondering if I should have dyed my hair first THAN begin my Henna journey afterwards. (Incase you ask why I dont jsut stick to Cassia, I just wanted to experience the stronger results of Henna)
 
So I'm on my third bottle of Bamboo Silica , once its finished I think I will cycle on to Collagen Keratin for 90 days in addition to my next HSN.
 
Got my hair straightened over the weekend but my stylist trimmed my ends. He very rarely does it unless I ask so they must have been really bad but still. Grrrrr... This seems to happen whenever my hair's in twists for a while. Hmmm...
 
The way I braided my hair for this sew in makes it hard to thoroughly wash and oil my scalp. Idk about doing this every 2 weeks.
 
Seeing all these reviews for PBN Murumuru Moisture Milk made me finally order a sample of that and the Cupuacu Hair Butter. If I like it I'm buying some raw murumuru butter to experiment with.

I've had two women approach me separately these past couple of days to ask if these are my natural curls and to compliment them....I felt so special :)
I'm loving being natural
 
I've been low key trying cone/sulphate free and my hair when fully dry is much less rough feeling and doesn't shrink as much.
On the other hand my shampoo bar is far too soft, i've only used it like 6 times and it has halved in size. That is not value for money even if it does smell like the best thing I have ever smelt and makes my bathroom smell amazing too...:perplexed
 
Despite my negative comments about not getting any color, I must admit, applying Henna to my hair makes my hair feel SO different. Stronger, fuller, just so different. I wonder if I can do this weekly for the first month and then use it less thereafter. As someone with weak hair, this was a nice surprise.
 
My roots are sooo dry right now :sad: That keracare shampoo really messed up my moisture levels. It didn't even cleanse my scalp, so not worth it :nono:. I think after dinner tonight I will shampoo (with one I know my hair likes), use a protein DC, use a moisturizing DC for an hour or two, air dry and dust my ends. That should bring things back to normal.

On the plus side...I've got a LOT of growth coming in! :grin:

Excited for my mom today. I sort of live vicariously through her 3c/4a hair haha and she is getting a color treatment. This will be the first I have ever seen her with any color ever although I've been told she was a color queen back in her day.

She is done with the back so far... highly dense the stylist said she had enough hair for 3 (not two which I have always thought) which made me think about my own density as I compare my hair to hers.
She is also getting a cut from waist length so I hope the stylist isn't scissor happy.

My mom complains about her hair often so maybe several inches off wont be bad for her (I'm just being selfish.)

Will be looking up natural color treated high porosity hair... She will be clueless.
 
The hair growing out phase is upon me. Still short but not cute short where you just hit it with a little spritz and go. Ordered myself a cute wig to get through this LOL!
 
Got a touch up after 16 weeks post last week. My hair feels amazing again. I regret nothing. I'm gonna keep to a solid regimen going forward of touching up my roots every 8-10 weeks and avoiding heat in between by doing a wrap and set for my hair to straighten my hair.

I'm really happy though that I attempted to transition that long though. I feel that I learned a lot. Through using braids again, I know that I am not a big fan of long hair. It looks gorgeous and stuff, but it feels like a hassle more than anything else. I can't imagine having my OWN hair down my back like that. I think I'll hit SL sometime later this year but it's just not a concern for me anymore. Health >> Length.

Also, I kind of love not using heat. My hair grew a LOT from avoiding heat. Maybe it was from retention via braids as well but I don't think so. So I'm gonna see if I can be a no-heat relaxed head :3 I know I can go without heat for a few weeks but I'd like to see if I can stretch my use of heat to only when I get a touch up.

Finally, attempting to transition made me realize that I prefer the ease that comes with relaxers, it made me think a lot about my hair and my sense of beauty. That I rely too much on the opinions of others to bolster my self-confidence and that's just not a healthy way to go about things. So yay personal and hair growth!!! :D
 
The last time I bought a hair product was over a year ago lol I ran out of DC and ordered BASK YAM. this stuff is amazing.I love it. I used to have boxes of hair products, now I only own 1 shampoo, 1 dc, 1 butter, and 1 leave in lol
 
My hair smells amazing, feels good & has the nerve to be flaky because of the gel/moisturizer combos I used to bun. :wallbash:

I just washed my hair; I may be rockin headwraps & hats until my next wash day.
 
These vitamins are making my roots softer and silkier and my nails harder. I seem to be getting that half inch a month too. I need to get on that sulfur oil or something, I need to trim this year and still make waist.

Which vitamins are you talking about please?
 
IF WGHO came in a better scent I would be hauling it hard. It makes my hair so soft, but the smell leaves much to be desired.
