Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[EnExitStageLeft]

Rozlewis

Sure will. The Elucence is Sulfate Free, but divachyk/Saludable84 prefer the Redken and saids that it is more gentle. So I had to try it out.

 

[divachyk]

Oh I love it much, much better than Elucence EnExitStageLeft. For me, there's really no comparing the two.

Lilmama1011 cwmarie, I love Redken Cleansing Cream much better than Elucence. I did a review about both on my blog. Redken is far more gentler than Elucence. If I mistakenly glob on Redken, it still doesn't strip. I have to control my usage with Elucence. It can get a little stripping if I use too much.

My twist outs come out way better than my braid out. My braid outs looks slightly frizzy and just crinkled. My twist outs have a curl and come out much better

I wish I liked how buns look on me, since it's my main protective style for 4-5 days out of the week. No matter the style of the bun I always feel so plain.

But you're so pretty! You should never feel plain.

Lilmama1011 I totally agre because mine do too. Today I undo my 2 twists I did on 60% air dried hair with no product after doing my first ever Rosemary tea rinse. See pic below. I think it came out nice considering they've always failed

I wish I had enough hair to put in a bun!

Does your hair feel stronger when it dries after doing a tea rinse, maybe its just my imagination. If so what teas are you rinsing with?

It makes my hair extremely dry too along with feeling hard and crunchy.

Victoria44, I'm with Dayjoy on this one.

PureSilver, black tea and coffee are too strong for my hair. It made my hair feel beyond strong, much like you're explaining. I use gentler teas - marshmallow root, burdock root and slippery elm are great ones to try. They are far more moisturizing and provides softening & slip benefits.

divachyk, thank you. Glad to know that I was not going crazy. I did my first rosemary tea rinse after my wash and DC yesterday and my oh my, taking down my air dried twistout today, it was like the Sahara. It looked a little shiny more than usual because my hair always looks dull.

 

[SuchaLady]

Working out has me wanting to relax my hair. Ill be so glad when its cool enough for my weave *sigh*

You're definitely not going crazy PureSilver. I totally know what you're experiencing. I hate that feeling.

 

[Victoria44]

Dayjoy and divachyk thank you soo much! You both made me smile I've been trying to get out of the habit of hiding behind my hair. Easier said than done lol

 

[Victoria44]

Your hair color is so pretty, and enjoy that length for as long as you can, it must be so low maintenance!

 

[Lilmama1011]

My hair takes in and keeps moisture in well. At 10 weeks I can run my hands through my new growth easily

 

[Lilmama1011]

I really can't wait to relax to really see how my ends are . I hope that the reason my ends look so iffy is because I have differences in length of new growth all over. Because I swear certain parts especially when I twist my ends look really thin especially my two front sections. I can't afford to cut anything off. Even apl isn't long enough. I still don't think I can do a bun

That cantu curl activator cream is the bomb. It's so slippery and I can take big sections at a time and smooth it down quickly so I can detangle properly. I'm forever buying this. I never had a leave in that had this much slip

I can't find Eco styler pink gel on my side of town. I just want a small jar to try out. The search continues............... I bet I will find it on the south side of town.

 

[ImanAdero]

This new Eco styler... Not sure how I feel about it. It doesn't give much hold, but my hair is still very soft with no crunch whatsoever.

Has anyone else tried it? It's orange and blue (the container).

 

[atlien11]

Pre-Pooed for the first time ever with oil. Used avocado overnight and washed/rinsed this AM. Co-washed with Ouidad and styled as usual.

Ok i get it now

thank you for posting a pic! I've seen that before. Did you get good definition from it?

It was just okay. My hair is moisturized, but not as defined as I thought it would has been. If my hair was 3b/3c, it might work better.
