I did a reconstructive treatment last week and a hendigo treatment today. MANNNNNN! My hair looks and feels fantastic. Like fine silk. SO kept looking at me while I was applying my leave ins. He complimented my curls constantly. I was like "Ummmmm....you want something?" :lachen:.

Lol. Okay Hotness!

Do you normally do a reconstructor the week before you do a hendigo treatment? I'm trying to up my protein and use henna more regularly. Do you think Claudie's renew protein would be okay to use during the same day as a henna treatment?

Honestly this Hendigo gloss was a bit spur of the moment. I was lurking in the Henna thread and realized I hadn't done one in months, like 3. So I went ahead and made it do what it do. So no I don't normally do the protein a week before. I do however make sure I shampoo the week before, so that the henna can better penetrate. Shampooing/Henna'ing on the same day seems a bit much to me.

As for Henna/Protein on the same day......I wouldn't recommend it. But if your hair prefers protein then I say go for it. I would use a mild reconstructive treatment though. Like SheScentit Okra or MilCreek Botanicals Biotin. Save the Renew for heavy duty business.
 
My hair is thick! It's almost thick from root to tip I still have that little part in the back that was ripped out from the curlformers playing catch up
 
I was seriously going to ship my curlformers to my sis and mom because I'm scared of them but SO was like NO! JUST take your time next time and we will get more packs so I won't feel the need to part big sections
 
Sometimes you think your hair can't do certain things, then you find a simple technique that works for you. I had tried all kinds of pomades to smooth my edges but always woke up like I didn't put anything on including using a tooth brush. My hair is coarse but not that coarse to be super rebellious. I started to wet my hair moisturize using a looser moisturizer and a thicker one and I used that like a gel and applied it try my edges and smoothed with back of comb and sealed and my hair lays down perfectly. I thought it was because I was early into me getting new growth but it's still working
 
Officially 21 months post relaxer. Hoping to get my box braids installed next weekend. I hope to keep them in for 8-10 weeks.
 
I should've reupped on the SM Purification Masque. Was going to use other miscellaneous conditioners to pre-wash detangle but nothing has the detangling power of that masque. :(
 
Found two 20oz bottles of Darcy's Botanicals pumpkin seed conditioner in my stash. Stopped using then during pregnancy because of a couple oils that aren't safe, but now.... Aww sookie sookie now.
 
Birth control. smh.

A year later after stopping and now I'm playing catch up in three spots on my head. At first, I was furious but now... I'm just like eh.

Thanks! I never know how to work the Millcreek biotin (or any reconstructor) into my routine.
 
So after weeks of watching YT relaxer reviews and finally decided on what I am going to try no BSS in my area carries it. I thought of ordering it online but to wait another 2 weeks to receive is ridiculous. I'm gonna find something else to like and slap some relaxer on this NG this weekend. I'm not stretching for another week. No I ain't.
 
*looks in mirror* MY HAIR IS LIGHTER IN COLOR?! WTF? Was it the sun? But I haven't been out in the sun that much except during my lunch break. Wait a minute. I used honey last week in my deep conditioner. DAYMNIT!
 
I can't wait to straighten my hair! I'm waiting until October for homecoming, I haven't straightened it since December. I'm taking my crochet braids out in two weeks, and if my hair has held up well, I will continue with crochet braids until Oct. I had a trim in June...I think one side is shorter than the other now (she said she was a pro at trimming hair in it's natural state, lies!)....but I won't be able to tell for sure until it's straight. I'm hoping I don't need another trim in Oct. I should be MBL by then if all goes well.
 
Trying to convince my mom to go natural. I colored her hair and noticed tons of shedding, breakage and small bald spots from her last relaxer. Her hair was coming out in clumps. I wonder if the stylist neutralized properly. Im in the process of relocating, so I want to help her as much as I could before I go.
