Sl 2016 Challenge

I detangled my hair... Now I gotta rinse and wash this stuff out. Please encourage me to finish some beanies this week and get some scarves this weekend! I don't wanna do my hair! It's that TOM. If I can just keep it healthy and tangle free until I straighten again! That's only two months from now.
 
I purchased the whole line of TGIN. Today I used only TGIN products from prepoo to style. I have never found an entire line I liked. There have been a few that have come close. I like several things from the As I Am line but not enough to make a regimen. I think TGIN may be a keeper. I will see if I still like it a few months from now.

I kept my styling simple. I put flat twist in the back and pinned them at the crown. I put in 2 strand twist in the front and put them on rollers.
 
I am in!

I will post pics shortly.

On Thursday I prepood with coconut oil and washed with the castile soap from the Curlmix box. I deep conditioned with suave naturals almond condish. It was wonderful! My finger detangling took less than 5 minutes. I set my hair in 2 strand twists and wore a twist out for one day. I used avocado oil and devacurl supercream for that. :angel: it was glorious!

Friday night I blow-dried with treseme heat spray.

Saturday I installed my Senegalese twist and I love it.
:yay:

Sounds like you are all around happy.
 
I cowashed my hair in the shower. Used that dove conditioner for a leave-in sprayed that TJ mist bodifer, slapped an ouch less band on, and called it a night. One of these days I will stop being lazy. That's why I need braids. I just don't have it in me right now.
 
Refreshed last night by tossing some water in my hair and using some SSI sugar peach! Soft and defined this morning. I might have to do this midweek every week.

You are probably getting crazy growth though from not manipulating your hair with styling.

I cowashed my hair on Thursday and detangled under running water. This might sound silly but I've never done that before. Only ever detangled with conditioner in my hair then rinsed. So imagine how surprised I was when I did this and it worked and my length was showing. It looked really good. I'm hopeful about the end of August.
 
Somebody come and do something to my hair! Lol I need a DC with no protein in it. I'm prepping with pumpkin seed oil. It feels really nice. I got a small bottle of, but I will get a larger one this weekend. I know my daughter won't like the smell, so I can only use it for prepoo treatments.

I get to feel my length in the shower too! :lachen: I'm like my hair is on my neck! Lol yes I detangle in the shower now as well. I hope I get some growth. I feel like I will be the puff queen this round of being natural. My energy is shot and I don't have the funds to go to the braid shop. Gotta get ready for back to school stuff!

Naturelle Grow Herbal Blends doesn't have protein in it. It might have other ingredients you don't like though. Teraveda Organix Carmeltini doesn't have protein and its very nice.
 
I don't think I ever officially joined this challenge. I'm kind of glad I didn't because I will definitely not be making shoulder length this year. I will probably reach it by Dec 2017. In fact, I will probably be in the ream of between shoulder-apl by then. This year has been kind of a mess because I didn't know what the heck I was doing with my hair, but I think I have found a couple of products my hair likes, and I have an idea of a routine I want to stick to. Currently, I am staying in braids/crochet braids until my hair is long enough to bun or until the end of this year and then I'll re-evaluate. I'm going to be starting grad school in August and my program will end in Dec 2017 so it would be so awesome to also end the program with my hair at a longer length and healthy!
 
This heat completely dried my hair out. I'm not scheduled to wash until tomorrow and I wanted to leave my hair in Bantu knots all day but I have to go to the dentist tomorrow. Not sure what to do to it.
 
Using TGIN for the rest of July to see how it works in my hair. Started with a prepoo with the conditioner, shampoo and now sitting with the mask on. Need to rinse but feeling lazy.

Will rinse in a few, apply the leave-in, moisturizer, oil and styler.

I wonder if I can put my hair up into 2 flat twist.

ETA: I used heat and also extended the time for the TGIN mask and it was much nicer than the first time. Definitely enjoying this line.

I need to use up some of my old products though. I think I will start. Cowashing midweek again.

Trust your instincts. I don't usually use things with cones but decided to make an exception since they are pretty far down on the list. I started iwth the leave-in and liked it enough I figured i would try the rest. I also shampoo weekly so I'm not overly concerned about build up.

My hair was buttery soft when I finished today. It sin e it's back up in flat twist not sure how great the products are for an out style.

Joico is generally very heavy and greasy anyway. And it has some protein in it so the hardness comes along with it. I still love it. Just can't use it for straightening. I haven't used TGIN products but it sounds delicious.

I've never tried Joico. It was on my list but I got sidetracked. If I do try it I will buy the travel sizes from Ulta.
 
Ye i think i'll go with my instincts and skip,i'm just now figuring what my hair likes and cones ain't them...

Was eyeing it because it is coconut free(dry hard hair) and Shea free (too heavy)....

The search for an HG mask/DC continues...

You are right, Joico is very heavy. But my hair was acting a fool with other cone DCs also, it's only when i switched to SM and AO that my hair took a turn for the better...
