What did they say?

I want to get one soooooooooooooo bad now. I once had my hair down to a science, but then my natural hair decided to become Low po (or so I think) and now I'm lost again.

Ohhh no. Girl that's why I'm so afraid to relax again. I originally went natural the first year of my hhj partly to grow a new set of hair to relax later after I reach SL. The other reason is that I had really bad shedding.
After almost 2 years of dealing/learning/mastering my 4c hi porosity hair I don't feel like starting over learning about stretching, 2 textures, relaxing, mid step protein and all of that stuff.
I hope you master your new natural hair soon so I can drool on your beautiful tresses again.

I know :(. Low porosity ain't no joke. Trying to moisturize my hair is like putting peanut butter on a brick......pointless :nono:. Wait, you were thinking about relaxing again? When and why? Your hair is alla' that:yep:!

I'm going to try some things out and if they work I'll be doing it from here on out.

The plan was to relax a year post BC. What happened is that I don't feel like starting on a new relax journey after all the work I put in to get to where I am (although not very far). I know my natural hair better than I ever did my relaxed hair. So there s no way I will relax again.
And thanks for the compliment Chica.

Have you tried APB. Unlike most people, I am not impressed by ANY of the scents I ve tried. The scents themselves are good but all of the products i purchased have this after smell that annoys me. I believe it to be the preservatives she uses as it is the only common ingredient in the products I have.
But I see a lot of the ladies from the lo po thread swear by her products. You should try them.

I can relate. My hair is very hard to moisturize. I'm not sure if it's low porosity or what... All I know is my hair is finicky as all get out.
 
EnExitStageLeft ronie what are the scents that you wasn't fond of? I just got my order and I wasn't too thrilled about the scents but the products seem decent...she always has sales so I would like to know what if any scents u think I may wanna steer clear from? TIA
 
Just moisturized my hair and scalp sealed and put back in a bun. It feels good for the most part. I can't wait to relax.
 
Welp, Im loc'd up now and I love it. Everything worked out at the salon. I sat in that chair for 4 hours....thought it would be longer.

They are about 4 inches long barely neck length. I love them. Im just just trying to get used to the look on me. I guess I can throw my comb and brush way now :lol:
 
Ateyaa had the right idea about the aphogee reconstructor, my breakage is nonexistent right now. I usually prefer joico reconstructor(mainly for the scent, I just love it), but aphogee definitely does the job well at less than half the price of joico.
 
EnExitStageLeft I'm gearing up to put my summary in the Komaza Care Hair Analysis thread.
The biggest reveal for me was that I'm normal (new growth) to high-po (relaxed ends). Lots of raised cuticles that was all new to me since I thought my hair behaved like low-po. Very interesting overall.
 
After cutting 7+ inches of hair, my wng still has straight pieces in the front and sides. If I cut again, it will be very uneven since the left side is more straight. But if I wear anything but a wng(which I know I won't keep up with) the length difference will be noticeable..

Guess I'll just leave it be for now and just do twistouts until I can find a longterm PS to stick with for the year.

Please elaborate! I haven't heard about this. Why would it be dangerous?

It's a new feature. I got an email about it a couple weeks ago. Basically PayPal pays for your purchase up front and then withdrawals it out of your bank account 14 days later. They are supposed to send a reminder before they take your money.

I said it's dangerous because you can buy stuff ahead of time and not have to pay for it for two weeks. That's like two paychecks away lol. I just tried it for my Curlmart purchase. We'll see how it goes.

ETA: you can also pay back paypal before the 14 days is up... If that makes sense.

I wasn't planning on washing my hair today but I might because I mind as well do it and the clean the bathroom from that slippery conditioner. Doesn't make since to do vise versa or just do everything tomorrow since it already 7 pm and my wash days tend to be so long for no reason

This turned out to be an unexpected wash. I wanted to get my schedule back in washing on Friday and clean the bathroom after. Dc now for 20 min with heat and going to put it right back in the same style. Might not do the two twist because doing it wet with scarf makes it look flat anyway. Had a easy detangling session before washing and in the shower. I will never want to strange outside of the shower after washing again. It takes up too much time.
 
I was kind of scared while washing my hair fearing it thinned out because when I wet my hair, moisturize and seal twice daily my hair looks paper thin when pinning it back up but it's common since I'm weighing my hair down and it's wet but you know sometimes we have to calm ourselves because that inner voice is saying "are you sure". Well I am because twisting my hair in four sections with conditioner still showed thickness
 
This hask placenta no rinse is the bomb. It reminds me of childhood.and my mom doing my sister and I hair; and it stops breakage. It didn't have much but it stopped the little breakage I had from manipulation. It a heavy protein but I never do heavy proteins anymore. Just light to medium and I do see a difference
 
I wonder if I could get away with once a week using hask and using only moisture based conditioners.

I got my banana conditioner from the body coming. Talking better order it's 40% off and temporary Free shipping. The usual price for the 8oz bottles are 8. They are $4.90 now. I got 3 bottles for $15 something. It has protein BTW. So I guess that week I won't be using gasket to spray my hair after washing. I will just use my Shea moisture mist.
 
Hang I keep posting but I'm under this dryer and my little butt is dripping. Once again no hot head yet. I am getting it or ordering it on the 25th
