I predict a new trend in the natural hair community, sweet potato! :supergrin: on a serious note, I am intrigued to try it, I don't think I have the patience to DIY though lol

I think Mahoganycurls did a sweet potato dc a couple years ago. Looked great but I never tried it.

ETA: On second thought, it may have been pumpkin. Also, I hate the all caps "I did xyz" video titles everyone does nowadays lol. Reminds me old click bait articles "SHE DID THIS AND YOU'RE NOT GONNA BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED!"
 
Hair rant

Nubian twist suck as a protective style on my hair. They dry out my hair and cause knots during the take down.

Shrinkage is one of my hairs worst enemies. I took my hair out of twist to deep condition and didn't put them back in. That was a big mistake. I had to detangle all over again! The ends of my hair like to hug too much to be washing loose natural hair
 
Gave myself a protein overload. Haven’t goofed like that in years. :wallbash: YEARS I tell ya! Ends feel amazing. Roots feel like Velcro.

Same here. I remember trying to wash my hair loose once like I’d seen others do, just revisiting the idea. It ended in tears and frustration.
 
I wish the puffcuff worked for me. Right now I'm using those round banana clips and they work wonders for my fine hair. There's just too much of a gap in the puffcuff to keep my hair secure but I love how durable they are. Also the price.
 
Question y’all: Are you supposed to dye natural hair freshly washed or on dirty hair? I poked around on the Internet and I found conflicting answers.
 
I'm tired of wearing my hair in a bun and bang style. Plus when I use too much gel my scalp starts to get overly itchy. I'm thinking about doing a co wash tonight and just wearing my hair in two french braids until my wigs come in.

Off to go order atleast 3 new wigs now.
 
I’m thinking about going back dark... I bought a chestnut rinse today and I plan to rinse and straighten Monday. My honey will be here Tuesday so I have to look goodt.
 
I quantified my shrinkage today. My hair shrinks by 2/3!! And this is after sleeping in a pineapple

At my nape 12 inches looks like 4
In the back 16 inches looks like 6

So for my hair to look an inch longer, I have to grow 3 inches. So best case my hair looks 1.5 inches longer every year.

:cry3::cry3::cry3:

I miss a lot of the hair products I was using back in 2011-2013 ish. Tresemme Naturals, original YesTo products, HE Drama Clean, etc. All cheap and worked great.

Yep, and as soon as they started changing the formula or discontinued the products, I had to start all over. That’s why I became a product junkie lol, these people weren’t loyal.
 
uggghhhh!!!! My hair has been doing SOOO GOOOD!!!!! I've been making it a point to nourish my hair throughout the whole wash process and its paying off BIG TIME!!!

I start off my wash with an herb infused oil prepoo (making sure to coat hair and scalp thoroughly while detangling section by section)
I wash with my tresemme botanique shampoo (i need sulfates) diluted with a herb brewed water.
Then dc with whatever (myhoneychild honey hair mask w/ or w/o neutral protein filler, homemade dc, etc... ).
Use good ole giovanni direct leave in.
And seal with my whipped herb shea butter.

My hair feels and looks so yummy!!! It's growing so fast too. I found my routine. Only thing is I've been needing to up my protein game a bit but its nothing really. I do what my hair wants me to and it gives me what i want from it!!!!
 
Why is my hair soft and I only dyed my hair, deep conditioned it, and let it air dry. I finger combed it and sprayed some water on it. Thassit. I didn’t add any other product. No oils, creams, nothing. I feel like this is a trap :scratchchin:
 
I played myself. Shea Moisture added proteins to the raw shea butter conditioner. It’s still very moisturizing but I’ve got to watch for protein overload - I’m probably going to start looking for a new leave in eventually
