Word of caution to all ladies of LHCF. Please take your time when heat styling. I just jacked up my blow dry and flat ironing job by rushing. I was feeling extra impatient today and couldn't bare to stand on my feet doing this doggone routine again. Hairs were ripped out and my arms were hurting from being up the air so much. It came out so ugly and uneven I had to wash it all out and deep condition. *le sigh*. Lesson learned. Unfortunately with our hair, there are no shortcuts.

My hair has been feeling really dry lately. I've been trying to keep it moisturized with water but it's not helping. I'm at my wits end here.
 
I just measured and my hair has to be 22 inches to reach WL. Given my growth rate and how long I've been transitioning I won't be fully natural with WL hair until September 2018. That's sooooo far away. I'm going to be on this journey forever. And with my shrinkage my hair will still look short. I may have to become a straight hair natural.
 
I hate companies that change formulas for products. S-Curl did it and I was angry, but at least they made the original formula available online. But Creme of Nature are just deceitful and once they change their formula, it's a wrap for the product. I hate having to find a new product I love and even then it's just not the same.

When my hair has difficulty remaining moisturized, it usually means I need to do a protein treatment. Perhaps, this may be the underlying cause to your problem.

@KidneyBean86 in addition before doing the protein treatment start with a clarifying wash and follow up the protein treatment with a moisturizing conditioner. If you are low porosity try doing the conditioner treatment under the dryer. For me using the dryer when conditioning makes a huge difference.

Have you tried replacing water with aloe vera juice? I had the same issue water only made my hair drier, but once I started using aloe vera juice that all changed. Try spritzing with aloe vera juice instead of water or diluting your leave in with it.

Does it matter what type of conditioner? Any suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks for the suggestion. I will try that..
 
:confused:Murphy's Law was in full effect for Wash Day today:

1. My hair won't fit the jumbo conditioning caps I bought from Target
2. My LCL hood dryer stopped working during my deep conditioning session
3. My old back-up Gold'n Hot bonnet dryer also went kaput
4. I couldn't find my emergency/apocalypse back-up hand-held dryer & bonnet
5. I had to get a package from the post office. So I pulled a Tim Gun and had to “Make it work". I tied a head scarf over my caps & went on my merry way.

You want to make sure the conditioner you use is moisturizing and not another protein heavy product. What do you have in your stash? Let's see what you've been using before setting you lose in the store. ;)

Shampoo-Hello Hydration, Shea Moisture (10 in 1-that's the only shea mositure product that doesn't make my scalp itch)
Conditioner- Herbal essences long term relationship conditioner, Aussie Moist (sometimes)
leave in- As I am leave in or Shea Moisture JBCO leave in
Oil- Shea butter, olive oil

I also use the As I am double buttercream before sealing my hair with olive oil
 
Going to do unexpected green tea rinse. My hair isn't shedding a lot, but if I could reduce it even more, that will be awesome. But because I just found out they snuck a cone into the creme of nature argan oil shampoo, I feel the need to clarify before hand and then do it. So it's in and out twice smh
 
I stopped by HomeGoods the other day and found myself wondering over to the hair care section in TjMaxx. I found JOICO Moisture Recovery Balm for $7.99/bottle. I got two. I now have a stash of 4 unopened bottles waiting in the wings (I got 2 bottles during the Ulta sale). I feel so giddy. :lol:
 
I'm going to be added maple syrup to my conditioner today just because it's in the house and I don't have any use for it. We will see. I assume it's like honey and will add shine and added moisture. Apart of me finds this funny
