@JunMom2Be Thanks for posting this product - I just ordered one. Some the reviewers posted that the bottle is intended for one use and you should dispose of the remainder. They commented that made the product expensive. One reviewer, said she simply covered the bottle with plastic wrap and use it for more treatments. I'll see how much left after me and my daughter use it.

Thanks again!

Hmm... Thanks for the info. I didn't read all that. lol. I also ordered a bottle. I'm waring crochet braids for protective styling. I've been doing sugar scrub in between installation. I will try this treatment this next time.
 
The Phillip Kingsley Exfoliating Mask came........shampooed, rinsed, the pointed end which made it easy to apply to the parted hair. Massaged in applied Sweet Greens to length, slight tingling feeling on scalp, left on 20 minutes & rinsed.

I like the results, my scalp felt clean & refreshed. I had some mild itching and this mask seemed to have stopped it. Hair is moisturized and smooth from the deep conditioner. I will continue to use this combo and see if it helps with growth.

You got the little tube right? How many uses do you think you can get from that?
 
Putting my Hercules Sagemann brush up for sale in the exchange forum. Just got it today, looked at it and realized that's going to be a no-go for my relaxed hair.... I'll do the Philip Kinsley and maybe the Phyto for scalp exfoliation instead.

@Ltown
Good Point. It does have Kanolin Clay? This is a good question for @g.lo

It is more creamier I assume than Bentonite and Terressential?

So, in essence, I'm really not sure?

I know they all are suppose to "Detox."

Yes the small one, maybe 5-6 uses, my head isn't that big, close to peanut size:lachen: glad I have the larger one coming that CodeRed posted the link for.

Oh that's good to hear, I was worried that it would only serve for one use...
 
@g.lo Thank you for sharing this information. I want to try to exfoliate my scalp. My scalp has been feeling congested since I have been co-washing my hair. I have a bottle latic acid and aloe gel I was thinking of using.

Though I do have a keratin treatment in my hair. I wasn't sure if that would strip that from my hair at the roots .

If you ladies have any advice let me know.

My hair and scalp always feel a little coated after using this mask by itself. I prefer to use my own clay mix.

People mentioned clay earlier. I use clay regularly- bentonite and rhassoul mixed. Would that do the job or is it still necessary (is there more benefit) to use one of these exfoliating products?

Do you know if it also removes sebum or just dead skin?.

@snoop, Komaza said....

Pona only helps lift the buildup; helps to maintain a healthy scalp and promotes healthy growth.

Prevents hair loss and minimizes excessive hair shed.

Thickens hair shaft and stimulates hair growth.

Promotes healthy scalp and eliminates dandruff.

Prevents shampoos from completely stripping hair of necessary oil.

Great for those who suffer from folliculitis, psoriasis, and eczema

Pairs perfectly with the Anagen Elite for those who suffer from hair loss

@AbsyBlvd This is probably a question for @g.lo

Thanks for your feedback on the SM Purification Masque
 
@g.lo

The question I have is, how does a healthy amount of sebum for into the equation?

If we add oils and moisturizers to our hair because the curl pattern prevents is from getting that sebum coating down the strands, could we exfoliate to much as to not allow our scalp create that coating? For example, exfoliating once a week versus once a month?

Looking at Neutrogena T/Sal Shampoo... Thanks @Nightingale for that suggestion. That would be easier to incorporate into my regimen as I started shampooing again recently....

Added the Nioxin to my Amazon cart. Will probably start this exfoliation routine in October.

I just used the Neutrogena T/Sal Shampoo yesterday, thanks to this thread. The box says it's for crusty, flaky scalps so repeat the shampoo twice and leave it on for several minutes. (It actually used the word crusty! :biggrin:). Since my scalp is neither flaky or crusty, I only shampooed once and left it on for about 15 minutes. I can't really tell a difference, but I'm sure it had an effect if I could see it under the microscope. I'll repeat every wash day for about 5 times, and then after that I'll probably use once per month.
