Did you take a beating on shipping? I'd love to sell stuff but by the time I factor shipping, it's not worth it. oneastrocurlie

I order the padded priority envelopes from usps. They are free of charge. They hold a lot of products, and they are very secured. I have not any issue with anyone I ship products to. It's 5.95 flat rate shipping. I am in NY and I have shipped to FL, MA, CA, TX, and many more. I always ship many products at a time though. Good luck.

I need a protein treatment but I don't feel like being under the dryer for the aphogee two step so I think I'm going to mix a little two step with either Joico or SM JBCO DC, slap on a plastic cap and snuggle back in bed.

don't do it! I went to sleep with that two step in my head and it took months to get rid of the protein overload!

I don't have issues with protein overload. My fine hair needs medium-hard protein treatments almost weekly. It thrives more with protein than moisture but I still try to keep a good balance. I wasn't going to go back to sleep though lol but I did mix it with Joico but only for about 15 mins because I've never used the combo and didn't know how my hair and scalp would like it.
 
I'm never one to care about other people's hair. I take the "not my hairx not my problem" approach. But, I'm really concerned for my roommate's health. I was detangling in the shower and notice the tub was getting clogged. Figuring my hair trap wasnt on right, I went to clean the drain afterwards, only to find a generous fistfull of my roommates straight hair that definitely was not there yesterday. I know she was doing this fad 5 day shakeology detox, but now I'm just concerned because excessive hair loss might mean malnutrition :( It's none of my business so I am not going to say anything, but I hope she feels okay.

She's an awesome stylist!! She was my stylist back when I was in Bham. I believe that she used her products on my hair. My hair did fine with them. Pretty solid line from what I can tell. :yep:

I remember reading your review and your spot on her blog! I have been following her for several months now, and I've been wanting to try her products. I'm just tripping on the price and size of the conditioner!
 
Whoever came up with the idea to wear vinyl gloves while washing/DCing your hair is a genius. My nails thank you, mystery poster!

(If the stupid search function worked, I could find the thread and thank you properly.)

How do you sharpen yours? I just did a dusting two weeks ago and already my ends are fuzzy :nono:

imaginary - I use the Fiskars scissor sharpener, had them for at least a year so they probably need replacing however I will be buying some new professional scissors (I just started a new thread on how much the ladies here will pay for quality scissors) with my next pay check.

Reminiscing about how easy my texlaxed hair was...
I could come home from work and wash, DC, air dry and flat iron all before my plans that same night.
Those days are long gone smh.
 
Ladies, I have a question/need advice:

Last wash session was moisture-based: verrry light protein/EVOO pre-poo, cowash, oil rinse then moisturizing DC. Hair was soft and fluffy, felt great after.

The wash session before that one was probably 50% moisture 50% protein: pre-poo, cleansing conditioner, ACV, oil rinse, DC. My hair was stiff and very clumpy after, I believe I used too much protein and/or the ACV wasn't diluted enough.

Last few mornings hair has been crunchy after LOC the night before, so last night I tried sth new and did OLC. Tonight hair was extremely soft and very very quick to accept moisture when LOC, but I noticed lots of very short broken ends when handling. Do I need more protein or more moisture in my next wash session?

Thanks in advance for your input, I will be washing tomorrow so need help asap!

I think it was the acv. I would do strictly moisture
 
I tried Crisco as a sealant on Sunday and I liked it. Today, my hair still feels good. For some reason I want to keep it a secret. I don't think I'll mention it again after this post.

Crisco is the bomb. Lots have used it over the years. My sons eczema cleared up with it and I used it to twist with when the weather was really cold a few times.
