Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[Embyra]

Embyra Where did you hear/read that? I didn't know that Dr. Syed was behind Syntonics. I know he has Affirm, Keracare and As I Am. I thought Affirm was his salon line, regarding relaxers. Sent from my Speak & Spell using LHCF

Yep Affirm and syntonics are both salon lines

Syntonics Is marketed as the more natural side as it has botanicals and extracts and thangs lol

It was on his blog and his twitter page

It uses cleasing waters that you make instead of shampoo and moistureizing teas which I use with a deep conditioner. My curls seem to likethis much better than co--washing, WEN, ect. And there are oil hair treatments to "pre-poo but only for 10 to 30 minutes.

They pre poo I use is Seasame oil. I never thought to use it before, I already had some so it wasn't an investment. The book has recipes for thinning hair oil treatments as well.

I have use two shampoos the rice water shampoo. You use the first 2 rinse from rinse and pour it over your head a few times. Or the Olive oil/aduzki been power shampoo. This is a light oiling then add powder rinse add dry powder rinse.

The Moisture tea I'm tried is Soybean tea, my hair really liked this one. I'm going to do a licoire tea rinse this weekend which is supposed to be good for curly hair. Will post results.

Since I've been in a Sewin I have continued the Rice water shampoo, soybean tea, and have been using camellia oil with regular conditioning.

I'm not trying to start a bang wagon, please don't start a bandwagon!

My hair's getting back to that point where I keep thinking something is crawling on my shoulder. Yes!

I know, right?! I've actually used lotion on my hair in the past, but never this particular one. This defined my curls like no leave-in I've ever used.

So this weekend, I plan to buy some for home and use it on my whole head and see how that goes.

Well, that's convenient for me because I bought this lotion but didn't like it for my body. I will try some on my hair.

I don't do protein treatments on a regular basis but how my feels right now I'll def be doing this every two months and sticking with GPB every other week

I recently lost about 15 pounds and this morning I was doing my hair for church and I realized my hair looked longer, especially around my face.

I never really realized how weight effects your hair length, I learn something new on this hair journey all the time...

Anyone else notice this with their weight?

Did a sake citron honey scalp treatment to cleanase my scalp. I was worried it would be drying, but no. It was great!

Also Licorice root tea OMG, Licorice root tea, OMG.

There is this conditioner that is sold in Dominican Republic that is not sold in the us and I can't find it online to save my life. I got it from DH aunt in NJ. It consist of vitamins, amino acids and collagen. I got a sample once and wanted the whole container.

So I came back to NJ to visit DH family and just took about 6 ounces of it in a cup to sneak back to NY. I need to take a picture of this stuff again and really do an online search for this stuff. I've got to be able to get it from somewhere. I'd never buy a protein conditioner ever again if I had this.

What's the name? I bet I would be able to find it in the Boston area.

I had got the wrap and go rollers (like flexible rods but soft) they were 99cents on clearance and they are very comfortable to sleep in. No sore scalp for me! Used six of them to do a braidout

 

[PureSilver]

Don't like combing my hair. I just want it to be really long so i can do various buns everyday.

Me either. I try to limit comb use. If I do a braidout or twist out in the mid week I do it over using a comb. So more than twice a week. I don't care how careful you are you will get some type of mechanical damage somehow. And using your hands doesn't get all the shredded hair out sometimes

 

[PureSilver]

This under processed left side is gonna be the stumbling block to my progress. I need a corrective soon, dumb stylist don't even know the term corrective! SMH

 

[PureSilver]

Gotta make uo mind to do this rinse before i start getting more NG than i can handle. My natural hair color is not giving me any life at all. Cranberry where are you.

Still had some breakage after doing a hard protein (2step) treatment...

Maybe I didn't use enough of the treatment to thoroughly saturate my hair? I dunno.

BUT my hair is thicker right now... So I'll take it.

I saw a vid where the stylist mentioned doing it more frequently if you have breakage until it stops

Well, my DIY loc extensions are a complete disaster. They're not as small as I would like and I really don't have enough time to start over. (I work 11-14 hrs a day). I'm trying to decide if I should just pay someone to give me 2 strand twists or mini box braids with human hair and just let them lock up on their own. I just can't afford to pay $1000-1500 and up for loc extensions.

I need some opinions, but didn't want to make any thread. Based on this old and blurry picture of my hair.. how long will it take me to get to MBL and WL ladies? Assuming I get the average amount of growth.

I'm taking out my weave in a week! Really excited about seeing where my hair is.

 

[Harina]

I'll upload the pictures

Interesting. It must be really good?

 

[Forever in Bloom]

Now I know why my scalp has been itching so bad - I need to clarify! I have so much buildup

I've never seen this product before. So it's basically a protein conditioner? I even looked it up online and I can't find anything either. Like BostonMaria said, it might be found in salons or some beauty supply stores in the Boston area. I live in the greater Boston area as well and live close to Dominican salons and supply stores.

I'm heading this Lynn (city outside of Boston, Dominican population is like 99% LOL) this weekend and I have a feeling I'll find this with no problem. If I do, I'll grab 2 bottles. I want to try it out.

Lol that's true about a lot of Dominicans living there. When you go there you may want to stop by this BSS called La Rapida Beauty Supply on 5A Union Street. My SIL worked in the area and they gave her a coupon, she's always being mistaken for being Dominican.
