I had a really cute bun / ponytail today but of course, I couldn't find my camera. :sad:

im playing with the idea of trying out a no dc regimen...

to test it out and see how my hair responds to it.

if i see that it's causing a problem, i'll definitely go back to it...but if i see success with it, i just might knock it out of my regimen. the less i have to do to my hair the better.

gonna mark the date...the last dc i did was saturday september 29th. we'll seeeeeeeee

youwillrise NNNNNOOOOOOOOO Don't do it! Can you do a 'deep condition' for 10 -15 minutes? I tried this back in my NP days and :nono: My hair had a fitttt! I started cutting shortly after that experiment.
 
First PS of autumn/winter: Senegalese twists! They're bigger than I normally do them but I'm hoping to get at two months out of them. Three would be too much plus I'd be so sick of them by then.
 
Yesterday was my two month natural anniversay!! :yay: I'm so glad I chopped when I did! I love my natural hair! :reddancer:

Thank you, LHCF, for all the knowledge!
 
I hate when im trying to use up a product and it seems to not wanna die.

Especially when im excited to use a product i already bought to replace it. -_____-

lol awwww...what type of regimen were you using when you tried it out?

im just kind of feeling like dc'ing only gives my hair a tiny boost and for a short amount of time... the experiment will either prove me right or wrong because my hair will either continue to feel as good as it does now or it be screaming at me. i'll listen to my hair, though...wont push it if i see it's not working.

orrrr actually, i may reduce the frequency to every few weeks to once a month when i cleanse my hair with a shampoo bar or bentonite clay. i'll definitely want to dc on those days. so, i guess i shouldnt say "never" dc again...but not weekly any longer
 
My edges are still killing me softly...but there is nothing I can do to reverse this gotta take this one step at a time. I'm continuing to use JBCO and I will be ordering and trying another product next week...

Ughh

Have you notice a difference in your hair? Perhaps you could try a shower filter,a bit less hassle i guess . :)
 
I think my hair has reached a point to finger detangle only...... No more combs!
 
I'm doing BSL 2013 :yep:

Sent from my Android...Boom.

I will definitely be in that Miss Lady, I thought for a second: I wrote I am doing BSL 2013, I was like HUH, who did that, I didn't say that.... Then I looked again :giggle:

Going to HENNA and Study tonight :yep:
I am so glad I bought the 500 size bag of Henna, because I am going to be using this at least twice a month :yep:
 
Speaking of henna, I need to check the exp date and use up what I have. Before the end of this use up your stash session is over.
 
I use the clear produce bags (from the fruit and veggies section) as a DC cap.

youwillrise I had a similar regimen that I have now, but I was also in London and using commercial products. My hair was not happy with my bootleg Herbal Essences 10 minute conditioning sessions.

Perhaps your hair will fair better, since you haven't seen a marked difference using deep conditioners in your hair.
 
I've been kinda discouraged about my hair lately but now that i think about it, i only claimed APL 4 months ago and im already grazing BSB. i cant me that upset. I'll probably feel a lot better after i get my TU.
 
Decided I'm growing this relaxer out, I rock twist-outs and braid-outs most of the time anyway.
 
I guess I'm gonna go look in some typing threads to see if I can find a hair twin.
 
I mentioned this in the Relaxed Hair Thread... I was at Big Lots today and they had a ton of HE Long Term Relationship.

Thanks for the post. HE LTR was great on my hair for washing out mustard oils and amla pastes. I hope its cheaper at Big Lots because the bottles are small.

Benefits of living in a developed country eh. What we do with a bottle of water when people are dying for thirst.

Oops, sorry, have I gone all heavy on the hair technique?? lol SORRY!!
I guess I'm saying, Thank God for our privilege. We are truly blessed.
 
I saw the new bottles of HE LTR Leavein at BedBathandBeyond for the regular 2.99 price. I wonder why Walmart and them are charging $4.99.

I really like this ORS moisturizer, it's really DD, but I may have to add it to my moisturizer must haves. It's not too heavy, a little goes a long way, and my hair absorbs it overnight well.
