“setting To Success” 2016

@KammyGirl im cracking up! I love hair experiments, but they don't always turn out the way we want them to. I bet your hair soaks up the oil as time goes by.

@L.Brown1114 Honestly? I have no idea if anyone is relaxed! We mostly just set our hair and keep it moving so you wouldn't really know. I would imagine roller sets are an excellent way to keep the hair uniform between re-touches, so come on in.
 
@toaster Last night I was like ummm this is not what I was going for when I decided to oil rinse. Haha. Funny thing though when I took the rollers out my hair was kind of stuck to them because I probably used too much gel. I'm heavy handed with products. But as I was separating the curls no crunch whatsoever because of all that darn oil. Only plus out of the whole thing!

-One A Day Women's

Lunch Supplements:
-Beautifully Bamboo

P.M. Supplements:
-Citrical Maximum
-Swanson's Evening Primrose 1,300 mg
-Swanson's Bamboo Extract 300 mg

My doctor told me to stop taking the Citrical and Multi at the same time of day, because you can only absorb so much calcium at one time.

HH, was always OOS for the products I was intrested in. That saved me from crazytown/mold/PayPal Gate.

@lulu97, you know I love a good hair lingerie stash. You have to post pix of all of it :look: This weekend I'll post my hair lingerie stash to the "show your stash" thread, if you post yours. I've seriously considered changing my alias to CrazyBonnetLady, :lol:

@KammyGirl Great PA haul! :yep:

@Janet' I'm happy you're active again on LHCF! Your posts are always so encouraging and supportive (in all threads)!

@coilyhaircutie Anti Climatic. Hairorexia is Real. I covet member's hair that's naturally thick and high density. I'd be a mess, if I didn't know how to "bring to volume" to compensate for low density.

Right! I just meant because I haven't been relaxed in years and I keep treating my hair like its natural. I tried to buy Shea butter lol. But yeah I just wanted to see who was relaxed so I could PM them about their regimen

My regimen is the same now as it was when I was relaxed & transitioning. I still detangle first, wash, deep condition for 15 to 20 minutes with heat, then roller set. The only difference now is that I only do protein treatments the week before I color (every 4 to 6 months) with Colorful Neutral protein filler. Relaxed/transitioning, my hair required a harder more frequent protein as I was relaxed with bleach (highlights in the crown) Back then I used Aphogee 2 step every 2 to 4 months.

My other products were kinda all over the place as I was still learning my hair, but now they are solid.

Did you already relax or are you just weighing out your options? How did it turn out?
 
I meant to give yall an update on the Mane Choice Hydrating shampoo & conditioner! I tried it on my hair and they are nice! However, I don't like them nearly as much as my Joico shampoo & conditioner so they will not be a repurchase. I've been using them mostly on my youngest DS hair and it always leave his hair nice and hydrated. I would give them an 8 out of 10. Minus 2 for the smell. It's not bad smelling, but I don't really care for the smell and it lingers. That will surely be my last new hair product tries until my staples have been discontinued (God forbid) or some other crazy force of nature. :lachen:

@coilyhaircutie my vitamins are the same brand as yours! I do like the fruits and vegetables component of the vitamins. I'm not sure what I'm looking for as far as results but I feel good knowing I'm giving myself more nutrients.

@lulu97 YES! Mold! The worst part for me was that several members posted our experiences receiving brand new moldy products and people kept ordering from the company. I know to take things with a grain of salt on here, but why mess around with mold?

Cool, I just googled your specific vitamins - you have the capsules. 4 is a LOT of pills to swallow lol! With the tablets, I only have to take 1 a day. The tablets might be bigger than the capsules tho

Yeah I already did it. She just touched up my NG. The rest of my hair is heat damaged but they both crave the same thing thank goodness (protein and lightweight moisturizers)
Yeah I think I'll just keep my regemen the same but just use more protein. I'm excited to start rollersetting on a regular basis
 
Very nice @lulu97 ! I rolled my hair mohawk method and I'm under the dryer now. I do think the mohawk parting helps with using larger rollers. I used my pink halo rollers, 6 down the middle and 4 on each side.

I'll try to take pictures when I take my hair down if I can remember.

I'm going on a quick overnight trip tomorrow and also need to pack, have dinner, face mask, listen to my audio book. :drunk: But it could be worse... I could be at work.
 
image.jpeg Here's a quick picture collage. My hair turned out nice! Dry time was a little longer than normal, but I think I used more leave in.

I may order the entwine couture butter hydrator to moisturize my sets during the week. I'm almost out of my Mizani oil and I remember the entwine butter working well on stretched hair. They cost the same so I'll decide soon.

I attempted cornrows, failed, put some Shea butter on my hair and it's in two Bantu knots.
 
@toaster Just all the way fly! :drool:
Safe travels and have fun Sis!

*******************************
Even though I positioned the flexi rods flat against my head to sleep in, they were just not comfortable. I ain't about that "get no sleep for a hair style life" :hand: :nono2: so after about 10 minutes of tossing and turning, I took them out and pulled the curls up into a pineapple. They had been in all day, so hopefully it was enough. We will see upon take down later. :pray:
