Try a hair product exchange. Just got 4 items for $25. THAT is generous!

Saludable84 That was one of my biggest goals of this entire hair journey I guess you would say. To break myself out of time restraints of when to relax. Doing that really got me thinking and adjusting my actions. I relax when and if I want to and no sooner nor no later. I havent wanted to relax in awhile but I dont think that necessarily means I want to be natural. I hope Im making sense to yall :lachen:

Let me go. I have enough posts in here for today :lol:; don't want yall talking about me :look:

I totally get you. When I make my 2014 goals, I would like that to be one of them. I would like to relax when I want and not really when I need to. I know it will be a hard foal for me.

Thanks boo!
 
So I wasnt able to get to sallys to get that GVP conditioner I was gonna try because my husband had my bank card , lol/ So When I washed my hair, I took every doggone conditioner I had, 4 different cholesterols, some V05 Strawberries and Cream, Dove Volumizing, Split End Mender and added Jojoba Oil, Grapeseed Oil and Olive oil mixed it all up , and it was great! lol

After that I did the LOCO method and then bunned. Hair looks and feels great today :) - I have been slipping lately out of shear lazyness, but Im back on track!
 
Not sure who suggested applying conditioner relaxer style when stretching, but that suggestion may be the GREATEST advice I have received! Just wanted to say that out loud. Thanks ladies of LHCF!!!!!
 
Have any of you used MSM in your deep conditioner? It was on my to-do list for this past wash but totally forgot about it.
 
SuchaLady KhandiB, I love Kenra. I stopped using it for a while because the wheat protein content had my hair feeling kinda protein-ish. Now, I mix in some goodies (honey, oils, etc) and all is well. It's now back to being my boo. I'm glad because I racked up when Ulta had the B1G1. It would have been a shame to have all those liters sitting collecting dust. I love Aubrey. Will never be without it. Yes, the uses are minimal and I too purchase online but I keep a good stock on hand. It's the only retail conditioner I love that delivers 100% of the time without mixing in this or that. Plus, I use WC as a LI or daily moisturizer. Joico is a great line as well.
 
Just wanted to give my two cents =)

I relax every 4-6 weeks with Dr. Miracle's (Regular), and the best DC I've found is Garnier Fructis 3 Minute Undo... literally works magic & completely gets rid of that straw-like feeling after relaxing, especially if you wrap & let it sit for a bit (I use press n' seal :grin:).
 
Thanks!

Yep, every 4-6 weeks, depending on when I feel motivated/have time. No issues with over-processing, my hair just behaves better when I relax often! I also use super moisturizing conditioner/deep conditioner.
 
divachyk - Kenra is Out of my price range, LOLOL. And I think that my local Vitamin Shoppe has the Aubrey's, they carry a lot of the poos/conditioners a lot of people on here that dont use cones etc...

I like to look for things that I can just go and grab from the store.

Which makes me wanna bop myself sometimes. I KNOW WHAT WORKS FOR MY HAIR! But I always go try something else, usually because its on sale, lol

The conditioners that ALWAYS have worked for me are:
Motions Moisture Plus
Silk Elements MegaSilk Treatment
ORS Replenishing
KeraPro (Too little for what you pay)

LaurenMechelle, I use to relax every 4 weeks way back when. I then moved to every 6. I'm now 10-12. I'd go longer if breakage, dryness & tangles didn't cause such an issue.

KhandiB, yes it's pricey but the key is to get it when it's on a B1G1 sale. I never buy it at full price. Scratch that, I never buy it at full price. Don't change up your game, keep to what works.

I hear you... I went 3 months in between relaxers this summer (summer! what was I thinking :nono:) and hated it... I was spending way too much effort/time/heat trying to keep my hair straight - back to regular relaxers now!

I'm also (attempting) to get in the gym more often, and can get away with working out 3-4 times/week without washing/styling when I relax regularly.
 
Moisturizing and sealing this hair in sections was rough today. My new growth was super thirsty so I had to break out the olive oil and mango butter moisturizer
 
I tried bb foam today, I like it, I didn't see lottabody but I'm glad I picked it up, it really does help with detangling, it had great slip and I didn't have to use my tresemme heat protectant because bb was a heat protectant with the cones and everything. I also I like that it said light hold
 
LaurenMechelle I did bantu knots using 3, placed as you did in your video and it was perfect, thanks:yep: I ended up putting my hair up in claw clips but I could have left if down. It fell just as I like it:yep:
 
LaurenMechelle thanks for showing your hair doesn't have to be very long to have great styles :yep: checked out your videos great channel.

Actually all you ladies hair look great. anyone else have youtube channels? :yep:

I want to try the rest of the CURLS line. I can't be the only one that uses products marketed towards naturals lol
Click to expand...

Trust me, your not. I'm a very big fans of any natural product. It's just that the good stuff is usually marketed for naturals though they work equally for both.

Please excuse my iPhone
 
Before this year is out I'm going to post hair pic.

I just feel so shy. I wanna go to marshalls or .tj max but I already know the pj inside of me will act a fool.
