Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

My hair has been through some thangs these last two weeks. I haven't gotten around to doing another honey treatment thingy because of it. Hopefully I can get back to that soon. Deep conditioning after an epic 3 lather shampoo session (2 clarify lathers, 1 moisturizing lather...I regret the moisturizing 'poo lol). Detangling was...interesting :look: but not too bad. Rinsed out the condish and my hair felt great; it was very curly and soft, so there's that. My hair masque went on very smoothly. Gonna let this marinate for a couple of hours. And, maaan, this DC is loooong overdue. I kinda skipped it last week :blush:

Hair is a labor of love.
 
My hair is about to be singing praises. I'm DC'ing under the dryer with heat, something I know my hair loves and I've skipped out on doing for the past few months because I didn't want to be bothered.
 
Gonna finally try this henna I have had for almost a year. Don't wanna use permanent dye, semi permanent didn't work at all (I must have low porosity hair) and I don't really wanna be this grey at 38. So henna it is...

I am going to do what I want. I'm just not 100% sure what I want.

I do have a lot of hair already, but it's not so hard to manage. How much more difficult can natural hair be?

I know I don't want gray hair, but the thought of demi-permanent color scares me. She said she'd have to do a level 5 peroxide. I don't even know what that means. I have to do some research before my next appt in 8 weeks.

Consider using henna to color your hair and make it more manageable. Reds, shades of brown and black can be achieved by mixing it with indigo. Just remember that henna is permanent, it has to grow out but the benefits are worth it. There are several henna threads here. Check them out!
 
I've been using the Alikay Naturals Shea Yogurt for the past few months, and I really like it. I have only about 1/4 of the jar left, though. Next, I want to try Belle Butters Unyevu Butter.

I've been wanting to try AN Shea Yogurt for a while. I've heard good things about it.
 
I secretly would love to be a hair fairy... Dropping deep conditioners and aphogee 2 min under the pillows of little girls with dry damaged hair.
 
For you ladies that want henna benefits but don't want to change hair color use cassia The best henna I've found and used to this day is mehandi website they're henna IMO is the best. And I've tried other brands and they didn't hold up color wise or give the benefits Hth
 
I had a terrible wash day. My hair was so matted. I used all that booty behind banana conditioner. V05 is much better. I lost sooo much hair, I hope that it didn't take a toll on my ends
 
Going to do another braid out with four braids. I might not rentals every night and just put a bonnet on and go to sleep. But then again moisturizing and sealing will only benefit my hair
 
Just saw Eclark6 (don't know her actual name just her IG name) do a wash and go. I'm gonna try and mimic her technique/product types.

Gonna cowash with Tresemme naturals and then do what I THINK is oil rinsing lol. And then apply my leave in and follow up with Eco styler.

Let's see!

Also, I keep seeing APB and it seems like some many of you all are using it...

Which scent do y'all recommend? I want to try the pudding!

Thanks in advance!
 
I think the only things that I can call staples are cleansers. Like, Giovanni TTTT shampoo and condish, as well as Shea Moisture's Purification masks are all things I have consistently used for three years.

Even if they make my hair feel great, I'm not loyal to a DC. It's like, once I'm finished, on to the next. :lol:

Light bulb moment...


The water back home in VA is classified as 'moderately hard.'

No wonder my hair felt drier after I washed it! So did my skin....and my face completely freaked out with breakouts.


These are issues that I didn't see when I was in OK for a month or even now in NC...
 
Birthday cake scent for the win!

Last question (for now), anyone know of a leave in similar in consistency to KBB Swee t Ambrosia leave in it KKKT... For under $10?

I go through I too fast to not find a cheaper alternative.
 
Thanks to EnExitStageLeft I went in my closet and found a brand new 16oz jar of Naturelle Grow Cinnamon DC. Soaking in it now.

Also found an unopened 16 oz bottle of Darcy's Botanicals PSC, not to mention a half used bottle in the shower, but we won't talk about that....

Have you tried the Elasta QP leave in in the jar?

It has cones, but is very froathy and smooth and provides slip. My Best friend swears by it.

Your hair will applaud you. When my hair was more porous it was just ok, but now its amazing! I just loaded up on it.
