Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

[curlyTisME]

Finally got my shedding issue under control. The Mane Choice.

Just restarted taking them too. They're decent.

I don't take the pills. The products.

I feel as though SM sold their souls to the devil when they got investors. I REALLY hope that I am wrong because I have quite a bit of SM in my stash.

Rich and Nyeeme (sp?) sold their entire souls, the shea nut and possibly villages in Africa to the devil himself for the almighty green.

DH knows them and believes Rich is behind it because Nyeeme did not have the same spirit.

My son said there was a woman sitting on the floor in Walgreens studying the labels on the conditioner bottles, he said she must be from my "online hair group", bwhahahaha. I said she probably is and she's looking for a cone-free conditioner.

I actually may end up going back to using cones and sulfates. I am getting some really good results.

It's crazy that the ors neutralizing shampoo works so well on my natural hair. Cleans, conditions, doesn't detangle my hair, but it also doesn't further tangle it. And it has sulfates.

Bwahahahahahahahahaha!!

It is so sad because once those investors get what they want, and the SM name is left in shambles, they will be left to pick up the pieces. The thing is, most of their customers will be long gone by then..

Yep. Look at what happened to Carol's Daughter.

I've been using that ORS neutralizing shampoo for years! On both my relaxed and natural hair and it's one of the best shampoos I've ever used. Go figure lol

My Kanechom Acai Conditioning Masks came in the mail today. I got two 32 oz. Kanechom Acai masks for $23.00 and free shipping off of Amazon. I can't wait to try some of their other masks.

I can't believe it works so well. Better than my shea moisture shampoos

I've only tried the growth oil and I liked it. Didn't repurchase though. What goodies do you use?

ITA. This line is above average for me.

 

[ItsMeLilLucky]

I am really being reminded why I kept my hair in stretched styles when I was natural. My scalp is not playing when it says it needs some air. My head is so itchy

 

[TamaraShaniece]

I don't want to alarm you but it might be a good idea to see a dermatologist to rule out a staph or fungal infection in those areas.

Yup... that scared the bageebees out of me.

 

[ItsMeLilLucky]

Well I finally got the itchies to calm down...

By watching relaxer day videos and laying on my side.

I guess this will be life for the next couple of days

I use the Green a Tea and carrot hair mask, the daily moisturizer, and the 3 in 1 Leave in. I also have the gel but haven't played too much with it yet.

Does anyone use products with vegetable glycerin during winter? I read before its a no/no during the winter time. Is this true?

I think it depends on what region you're in. I still use products throughout the winter with glycerin. However I live in Georgia so cold weather isn't really that big of a factor for me.

I'm in the Northeast so it can get very cold here (down to single digits feeling like negative). So I'm guessing its a no?

I would say no but you should test it to see how it works for you. You will definitely need to dry it before going out. Wouldn't want to go out with a wet head in single degree temps.

I live in Michigan so it gets extremely cold here and I use glycerin all the time. I don't really change my product line up based on season (except one product in summer because of my summer routine). I never have any issues.

 

[vevster]

Made my appt for my DevaCut and Color! I love going there. It is $$$ but I get what I want....... I go every 6 months.

I'm in NY. My hair does fine with glycerin.. I'm thinking in the summer when it is hot and humid it may be a no go...

With a rinse-out product, like a DC, you should be fine. With a leave-in, it depends on how you hair behaves. For me, glycerin high on the list means potential dryness or severe shrinkage.

 

[trueheartofgold]

Thank you @Coilystep, @KinksAndInk, @vevster and @Sharpened! I will try and see what happens!

ETA: If you don't mind answering: Is the DevaCut really expensive? Do you go to the actual DevaChan salon or a Deva stylist?

What do you consider expensive? I go to two Senior stylists because I tried to go cheaper not deva and I did not get what I wanted. I go to the Deva salon in Soho. It is $$$ but for me doable. I go twice a year.

Anything over $100 for a haircut to me is expensive. But it is NYC so it's expected. I know Deva Senior Stylists are more expensive than the other stylists. I also know that they are skilled at what they do and "you get what you pay for" so the end result looks good. Do they shampoo your hair? I don't cowash so that's why I'm asking.
