That's a nice chair. I hope it works out.

I know I've had this foam for over 5 years and have never used it. Since I used it with the serum I really don't know how well it works. I will try them separate next time.

Review of Bouncy Curl Rollers:
I need to use these again and do the back 1st, so I can get my roots more taut. My roots in the back are not as smooth as when I do the MileHighDiva (MHD) Flexi Rod method. This is probably my fault due to setting the back once my arms were fatigued.
You can get the same results using the MHD method using green flexi rods. Basically, you're doing a figure 8 with your hair around a bent/folded flexi rod.
I bought these to support black business. I love to support my business savvy/creative Sistahs,
It was interesting getting under the dryer, because of the way they stick out. It may have been easier, if I could've adjusted the chair I was using.
I'll update my thoughts the next time I use them. In the meantime, I hope she makes a lot of $$$

Lovely curls @faithVA ! Your hair looks so soft and touchable.So it's starting to revert but it's wearable. The ion serum isn't doing any more than water alone would do. Usually when my her is soft it frizzes.

Hey ladies, hope you all had a great weekend. I did a flat twistout with permrod curlers at the ends. This was the best set that I've done all year. I got so many compliments from friends and coworkers. My hair was soft, feather-light, shiny, swanging -- AND it held the curl well. I used just 3 ingredients to set: water, 100% pure aloe vera gel, and Oyin Handmade hair dew. I also used my new tangle teezer for afro hair - love it. Wish I could post video. Pictures don't do the shine and body justice.
I think what also helped was adding a teaspoon of henna to my DC mix. My DC mix was Oyin conditioner, 100% pure aloe vera gel, Silicon Mix, Joico Moisture Recovery, and henna all mixed together. People have been telling me my hair smells good all day haha. I DCed on damp hair, with heat for 30 minutes. Jumped in the shower and rinsed it out. Used ACV + water mix to cleanse my scalp.
I think I'll continue doing flat twistout rollersets. I love regular rollersets, but they're so much work. I'll save the full-blown rollersets for special occasions.

@coilyhaircutie Lovely! I bet you that shine is from the Joico. It makes my hair shine like no other product I have. I tried for months to figure out where the extra shine was coming from. One wash I decided to DC with something different than Joico and the shine was gone. Joico for the shine and moisture win!
Lovely sets as well @faithVA @MileHighDiva

I'm under the dryer with my weekly set.
Getting a facial and a skin peel Thursday evening so I'm meal planning for the weekend. I'll be staying inside away from the sun and watching football. I know I'll have overnight oats for breakfast, but I'm thinking of having turkey burgers with sweet potatoes for lunch and making beef and veggie soup in the crockpot for dinner.

This. I mean, I am happy that I have found my staples but I kinda miss the excitement of trying new products. I guess I will move on to body care products.

I know! I kind of miss the hunt. I tried a bunch of new body products but went back to dove beauty bar, cerave moisture cream, and Hawaiian tropic sunscreen. Boring, but my skin is smooth and even.
I may start buying more candles. I love home scents.

I pre-poo'd overnight with Philip Kingsley Elasticizer Extreme
- Cleansed with Joico K Pak Clarifying poo.
-I have a much need henna treatment in right now.
I'm not sure how I'm going to style my hair. I've been watching flat twist videos on YT trying to ignore the election results.

Sounds lovely! I did my hair on Sunday and I'm under my bonnet and on the couch watching CBS.
I don't think there's anything hair related I'll be purchasing on Black Friday. Maybe some silk pillowcases to stock up.

You'll have them for life. That will be an excellent purchase,

I always want to talk about hair. I just wish I had more of it to talk about.
Not planning on buying anything black Friday.

How is your hair doing? Have you accomplished any of your 2016 hair goals? Are you close? I see a great difference in your hair from mildly following you around the forum, but I know how hard it can be to see the forest from the trees.
I really want to assess my 2017 hair goals before the year begins. I know I want to keep setting, that has truly been a life changer for me, especially as my hair has gotten longer.

I love candles (Bath & BodyWorks are my favorite) and wax melts. Home fragrance is where it's at!

It's raining & gloomy in my neck of the woods. My grandmother always said that when something bad happens, God weeps first. I imagine today is that day.

I'm in mini braids at the moment. Washing and roller setting them as needed. Easy Peasy!
Not interested in Black Friday shopping for hair stuff. I'm saving up for 2 wall water fountains for my girl room. I can't decide between one that you mount on the wall like this:
Or a floor model (indoor version) like this:
So I'm saving for both.
They cost a pretty penny so I'm watching my coins. LOL
The hair products I have should last me another solid 3 months so I'll shop again for staples in February'ish.

I think my hair is doing OK. I know I've made progress but not sure how much. I will be ending the year better than where I started. That's my silver lining.
I won't have any idea of my true progress until I straightened in December. I'm hoping I am grazing SL.
