Problem of the day... my hair isn't drying after my workouts in the evening. I work up this morning and my hair was still damp. I use a no direct heat reggie so I really don't know what to do with my hair in the mornings....help!

so it's sweat still in your hair?! No good, that's drying to the hair because the salt in sweat, how often do you work out? maybe you need to cowash after each workout to put back moisture but rinse out sweat sweetnikki_6

do you have a diffuser on your blow dryer? you could use that to dry your hair on cool or medium. i would cowash, diffuse, and style. that way, you are not walking around with damp hair all day.

I don't think I have a diffuser. I haven't used my blow dryer in forever. I will check. Thanks.

Thanks kindred! :) I love curls too and they're easier to deal with... My hair will hold curls for almost the whole wk and no hair on my shoulders on hot summer days with this length. That's why I'm looking forward to natural hair bcuz relaxed hair never look as thick when curled. I want a big olé curly fro lol
 
So yesterday I purchased what I'm now calling hair magic! I got these hand made organic products from http://www.jmoniquesnaturals.com/ Decided to wash last night since my hair was still so dry and brittle after that disaster on Sunday and now my hair is softer than it had ever been in my life. I'm still finding it hard to believe since I thought for sure I'd be stuck with dry hair for at least a month bcuz it was so hard. My hair was completely detangled after rinsing out the DC and that has never happened to me before. I Co washed then used Organic Jojoba Deep Hair Treatment Masque and finished off with Curl Defining Pudding for my bantu knots. I'm going to get everything from her product line now can't wait to try the Green Tea leave in and the Green Tea & Honey conditioner! :)

i am glad you found some products to curb that dryness! as soon as i got my hair relaxed and had a good wash/conditioning session, my hair felt so soft and healthy!

i got an order coming in the mail tomorrow, so i know how excited you are! we are both on the same path!

Thank you and yes it would appear that we are! I can't believe all this time organic products are what I've been missing. It made such a HUGE difference. Not a frizz in sight and super moist. Didn't know I could get so excited over hair lol. Hope you love your products as much as I do! :)
 
I'll post pics tomorrow. She did exactly what was needed. I kept most of my length in the front and the back is pretty short. A cute little inverted bob is what I have now. Perfect for the summer. I want to try an do a silk wrap but I don't have a hooded dryer. Can I use my heating cap instead?

I let my hair air out after working out. This helps it to dry before placing a scarf over it for the night. If by chance it's damp by morning, I wear my hair in whatever style I choose - braidout, twists out, bantu knot, bun or other protective style. Damp hair doesn't impact styling in any way because by the time I leave the house, arrive to work, it's pretty much dry. If it's sopping wet, on the other hand, that's totally different -- it takes much longer to dry. The only style I can't pull off while damp is sleek, straight hair but I only wear it straight after a TU anyway so no biggie there.
 
I am 11 weeks post as of yesterday. I had so many shed hairs during detangling last night. Also, the front of my hair may be a little underprocessed for me even though I am texturized. I can see that the NG in the back of my hair is fine and very easy to manage but the front needed more processing time.

On my next t/u, I think i might skip the back and edges all together and just texlax the crown for about 7-10 minutes total.

I have to do it in the next week or so. My hair is telling me that its abt that time, lol!
