Really interested in trying cassia but I don't want to "color" the few grays I have! I've looked forward to going gray and would hate to tint them (my paternal grandmother was silver by 45 & looked stunning, never colored it).
I'm also itching to buy during the upcoming APB sale and I have no fridge space to sustain buying anything else!
Maybe I just need to have a seat...or several...
 
So I'm at an International Natural Hair Day event & the stylist told me I was a 4c from 7 feet away. Yeah.....ok. not sure how you can see from there

Ugh... this white woman with half black children just posted a picture of her daughter holding a new "KORS" flat iron. Momma writes, "Welcome to the Jungle. Just love our new straightener."

Thanks mom.

I thought cassia was neutral and didn't deposit any color unlike henna? Speaking of that, I have some henna gloss conditioner and bars that I still haven't touched. I want to get something for the APB sale too but my mini fridge is filling up quick.
 
For once I'm pleasantly surprised by a new combination of products. I was prepared for a let down & instead had an excellent experience.

Hooray for drama free wash days !

flyygirlll2 I remember where I saw that bit of info. From mehandi.com Ancient Sunrise Cassia Obovata page: "This has a golden yellow dye molecule, but it won't show up on your hair unless you are very pale blond or gray. Cassia will not make dark hair golden. Cassia will make gray or blond hair golden."
Henna Sooq is supposed to be selling cassia gloss bars soon and I wanted to give them a try for the shine and strengthening benefits.
 
My bun (on a stretched, frizzy W&G) looked SO good yesterday that I'm currently laying in bed with it still styled. Yep, wearing it to work tomorrow. And let's be real...maybe Monday too.

Heck I might even push it to Wednesday :look:
 
I have no idea what to do with my hair for the summer. I did a small chop and now my 3a/b hair touches the bottom of my neck when stretched out. I have been wearing a wig all winter. Don't know if I can do it in the summer. Sent from my iPhone using LHCF

MileHighDiva And it's always the ones that love to battle and fight in the ET or OT forums over celebrities and you tubers who wouldn't look twice at them if they saw them on the street. Like please can you leave your messiness over there...we like peace over this way. Geeeeeeesh
 
Why have I been pretending to braid my hair for the past 2hrs? Because my blowout is amazing & I want my hair to be free. Sad part is, I can't leave it out, I'd be playing in my hair so much through work that I'd become a distraction to my clients.

Smh.
 
I really don't like this length of my hair. It's not a TWA and its not long enough to go in one smh. hoping to get more length when I take out these braids.

If I had to do a BC again. I wouldn't do it.....I am not hair savvy and is very green when it comes to styles....even after looking at you tube sigh.

Wow, you haven't bought conditioner in a while? That's where I want to get to but I still need my protein deep conditioner from Claudie's!
You were totally right about not needing any citric acid to lower the pH. The pH of one of the trials was 4.11 without any citric acid. I wonder why it is so acidic (from a chemical standpoint what might be happening? It could also be the raw materials as agave nectar and raw cacao are acidic).
Thanks for all the great information! I'll be back in a couple weeks with the results (and hopefully still with my hair lol).

Thanks @girlonfire!! In person it looks like a yummy pudding..I get hungry when I'm making it lol.

I use Komaza for protein. When I'm mostly finished with the bottle I'll try making my own. I have some hydrolyzed keratin, phytokeratin, and silk amino acids in my stash.

I have no idea why conditioner is naturally acidic. I tried googling it but nothing really came up. I'm really curious about it now and I might find myself researching each ingredient individually.
 
I cannot get my Bantu knots right. My process must be off or maybe it's the products that I am using bc my ends look straight and the waves aren't consistent! Any advice ?!? I was really hopping that us could be another summer hairstyle :-(

i'm going to flatiron and get a trim later. haven't had one since i shaved my head a year ago!! i'm sure these ends are rough as hell.
 
It's freezing in my office at work. I normally turn on my space heater but not today. My hair feels so great and moisturized that I don't want the heater to suck the moisture away. :giggle:
 
Third day wash n go: accomplished

I don't know why I slept so hard on Kinky Curly Knot Today! And for hold I used 3 Sisters of Nature Curling Gelo?

Magic! My hair isn't as defined, but it's hella soft with movement still. And my fro looks bomb.
