Thanks Gymfreak! I will definelty get this tomorrow. Is it light, can I use this while maintaining my rollerset? It doesn't take much to weigh my hair down. I know Ambitious uses this & her hair is beautiful.

It's semi light. I only have to use this once a week. I put on a day old rollerset and I am good until the next wash. They do make a lighter cream version too in a tube
Thanks!!!!!

It's da bomb, ain't it? I love it!!
Is this the one with peanut oil in the ingredients? I used a shea butter lotion and it had peanut oil as an ingredient. If this is the same one those with peanut allergy beware! bonjour
I am interested in hearing more about the Jane Carter Nourish and Shine, do most of you use this product once per week? I went on the Jane Carter website and viewed the list of ingredients in the product and the first ingredient is shea butter which can be a little heavy. I'm looking for a product that will give my fine hair moisture and help my curls set when I pin curl or roll my hair.

ATTENTION ALL MY THIN/FINE STRAND SISTERS!PRODUCT & PROCESS RAVES aka BIG HITS!
- Oiling hair (Amla Oil) and then apply henna/indigo gloss (made w/Humectress & more Amla Oil)
- Ojon Revitalizing Mist Leave-in
- FHI Hot Sauce (with Jojoba Crystals)
I have breakage in my crown that my stylist said was a result of my henna treatments and suggested I stop. I was devastated. Anyhow I asked Sareca and Henna Sooq what to do and they recommended I oil my hair (I saturated my hair with Amla oil) and then do my treatment. I did this over the weekend and it was HEAVEN. The gloss just slid off when rinsing my hair. I DC'd with Nexxus Humectress after.
I then spritzed in the Ojon Revitalizing Mist and airdried to damp.
I detangled and there was only a few strands in my comb.
I then applied the FHI Hot Sauce for my heat styling.
I blowdried using a nozzle attachment so there was less directed heat.
I then sectioned my hair and flat ironed.
RESULT - Hair like Silk, shiny and swingy AND moisturized. It's been 2 days and I have practically no hair fall whatsoever - none in the comb or sink or on my clothes.
As discussed previously, I think a little heat used properly on healthy hair and with heat protectors are a good thing...

I usually have really good results with henna but I'm curious about this process you mentioned. Do shampoo, oil and then henna?

Hi Cayenne! Happy Sunday!
I did not shampoo my hair prior. I completely covered my hair in oil from root to tip and then applied the henna gloss as usual and I let it sit for 3 hours.
Then I rinsed with conditioner and water and then poo'd (I used CON).

Thanks for the tip. What difference does it make?

It made my hair more pliable and soft, not as hard as it used to be when I gave myself a treatment.
Again my breakage issues are, I think, a result of the henna drying my hair out.

Yea i agree, i do that after henna glosses & all the time because that shampoo leaves my hair more detangled, and feeling more moisturized and soft then after rinsing any conditoner out...if my hair is hard, its instantly soft after using that shampoo

Relaxer - Affirm
Shampoo - Keracare Dry and Itchy or Humecto
CON - Keracare Humecto or Africa's best hair mayo
Using BT 1-2x week and EVOO or Dudley's PCA 1-2xw
I find that I have been needing more moisture lately for my new growth due to being at 10 weeks post-relaxer.
Question: I have been experiencing lots of shedding lately (no breakage). Can that be attributed to me needed a relaxer now?

Do you think I should decrease my stretch next time?

Hey Love!
How many weeks post relaxer are you?
I get a touch up every 7 weeks from now on because I tried stretching several times and in my 9th week, all "H-E-double hockey sticks" breaks loose. I lost a lot of hair and my stylist told me for MY hair, 8 weeks is too long.
Many of us with fine and thin hair shouldn't stretch for long periods like our sisters with thicker hair.

Thanks JN! I'll be at 10 weeks this coming Tuesday, but I have an appointment on Friday for a relaxer. I was just trying to stretch beyond my usual 6 weeks. I'll aim for 7 or 8 next time. I'm glad I found this thread!

8 weeks has been working good for me. I actually think I could have gone to 9 weeks this time but I was anxious to see the condition of my hair with a fresh relaxer and trim.

I am one that can actually go up to 16 weeks and if I hid my hair I can go 20 weeks but I think that from this point out unless i am in braids I will go no more than 12-16 weeks. I can go that long because my hair grows slowly so I really don't have a major problem with ng until about week 10. Once I start to take vitamins I will see what if anything I need to change

I used to be able to go up to 16 weeks at least because my hair grew so incredibly slow. But now I am noticing that I can't go much past 10 weeks, and that's even pushing it. My NG has become a forrest. It's hard and unruly. I did a wash and deep conditioner last night, then did about 6 bantu knots. Got up this morning and hair turned out nice but was still a little damp. However, the NG was very dry. So I'm going to have to relax very soon, within two week, so that'll put me at 11 weeks. From now on, I will not go beyond 10 weeks. I hope this stretching business is well worth it and I got some darn thickness and growth. I won't know for another 2 weeks, but I'll keep ya'll posted.

I usually stretch anywhere between 15-20 weeks and it's worked out great so far for me. I'm aiming for about 24 weeks this go round, since I am doing the sew in thing. My last touch up was June 8th and I'll get another one right around Thanksgiving time. I'm hoping I can hold out that long.

I can't wait to see your results when you take your sew-in down! I want to do that sooooo bad. With this last relaxer, I see wonderful changes in my hair so I may be able to get a sew-in about 2 weeks from now...IF my hair continues to behave the way it is right now.

Girl, I can't wait to see my progress either. I'll probably take this first sew in out around the first week in October. Once I assess my hair and if I don't see any breakage or damage, I'll get another sew in just in time for my birthday weekend in Vegas (October 18-21).
