:sad: i already placed my order lol

i think what convinced me is that i did my wng this morning. let it air dry-but here's the kicker. my hair air dried outside on the windiest day i've seen in for ever, while i chased down a pitbull to do a rescue, stopped a dog fight between a husky and a cocker, getting the pit to the rescue, walking my own dogs, doing a training class (dog training) outside in that terrible wind, go grocery shopping....


and i just got home and my hair looks fabulous!!! soft, no frizz, and shiny... so when that happened lol i went and got it. i was originally going to buy it on the 4th to make sure i wanted it. but after the day i had, i thought it held up to the job lol
 
HI I am in on this one too.

I have some layer issues and want them to end at tailbone at least the back ones . My front hairs are about apl.

I still use sauve naturals with some recipes and as the wash. Transitioning to all homemade. I use homemade products for conditioners, pre wash pacs. I am making my own hair oil mixture. Still working on the recipe. Massage oil at least 3 times a week and massage daily. I will wash and deep condition according to the moon charts. Use a water spray morning and night. hair butter cream recipe for the 3b hair / and baggie my braids.

Goals to get layers evened up at tail bone. Then move on to Classic and beyond. Maintain moist supple hair.

I can't do CD. with the amount of product I use, i would go broke just trying to keep my products in stock. I prefer cheapies that work well.

that's what i thought too. but my friend has had her prods since dec and she still has over half. and then when i used it, i literally used a quarter sized blob of poo for each half of my hair. a silver dollar size of the cond, and then another silver dollar size of the milk. i was shocked!!!


and to top it all off, with the crazy day i had yesterday, my hair looked great the whole day and nite. i went out with my friends and got sh!t face :spinning: and this morning all i had to do was lightly mist my hair with my home made juice and i can wear my hair down again and it still looks good with out any frizz!!! i've been sold lol :lachen:
 
so i've gotten my order and i'm still in love. i dont seem to have a bad hair day with it :D

now lets see how long it lasts me. if i go through it too fast then of course i will have to give it up. i cant shell out $60 every month for hair.

but my best friend who uses it has had hers since dec and she has A LOT left. she thinks it will lat her til may at least... so $60 for 5+ months that's like $12 a months... that's totally doable.

so far i use literally 1/4 of the shampoo i used to use per poo wash. about 1/2 the cond, maybe less than usual. and the hair milk.... well that's about less than half the amount of hair milk i use in my hair than the HE HH in my hair. like the squirt of hair milk i use for my whole head = 5 squirts of HE HH its ridiculous. i dont know how to explain it

but i'm really feeling it so far. but of course the true test is time. come summer if i'm still using it, it will be a staple and i will give away all of my aussie moist bottles and HE HH bottles.

now i still use my home made juice and i still seal with oil (way less of it now though)
 
Hi Ladies,

Stopping by to say hello. I've been MIA for a while......so much going on. Homeschooling and taking classes myself. Hair is in recovery from at least two detangling fiasco's! Hair is doing great now. I have not done a length check in a while and hope to do one soon. I have not taken my start picture for this challenge either, there's proof one thing has not changed, I am still HAIR LAZY! LOL.

Hope everyone is doing GREAT!
 
Umm I was supposed to CW my hair this weekend, but it's cold outside and I'm too lazy. Besides I moisturized daily so my ends are doing Ok.
 
so i'm supposed to do a trim this month...

i'm a bit torn. i want to do my own trim cause i know i will only take off what's needed. but on the other hand, i think i want to go get it cut to have a nicer hem line... only problem with having a nice hem line is that will probably take my a little below wl.

what do you ladies think?
 
MoMo- With the warmer months coming, are you going to be wearing straight hairstyles, if yes, maybe the nice hemline will e worth it to you. If you do not want to loose the length, maybe trim what you need and PS until your hair thickens up.

I am in this challenge. I have noooo idea when I might make TL. My regimine for the summer is bun and wash everyday. I wash everyday in the summer, because I have a really oily scalp and I live in a very hot and humid area. It just works for me in my situation.

My starting pic is my signature.

Now maybe if you try that hair cutting tool and get someone you can trust to trim for you or do Feye's self trim method so you can keep your length.
Then wait until you attain full HL and slightly pass HL to trim then make sure they only take you back up to full HL or passed WL. YOu don't want to start back above WL or worse like the trim that happened last year and left you at BSL I'm just saying.

i think you guys are right... i guess i should do this trim my self and wait til my mid summer trim to get it professionally done. when ever i wear my hair down its in a wng anyway so it really doesnt matter you know

Oh wow, now I know why people were *still* wondering whether my hair was real the last time I wore it down straightened. :spinning:

I know right? and your hair is longer than mine. But seriously people don't even really look once they see hair passed BSL they automatically assume it's a weave. Really you can tell if it's a weave or not regardless of length there's always a way to tell whether it's real or fake and I'm not above running my hands through my straightened hair and shaking it so they know it's real. :look: :lol:

irrisistable, did you press yet?
 
so guys, i've still been using the CD. my hair now not only is health but LOOKS healthy lol.

i used to hate having to explain to people that my hair was healthy when it was all frizzy and on the dry looking side at times (though when you touched it you could feel it was moisturized lol). but now with these products it still feels soft but looks shiny and healthy and doesnt frizz barely at all.

so the only thing i have to do now is see how long the prods last me. so long as they last a decent amount of time for the $$ then i will still with it. but if my bottles are empty at the end of the month... i'm going back to my old prods lol

Those products get expensive especially if you use alot and those CD bottles are small and expensive. Does CD work better than your old products?

How much are you cutting off? You could do a 1 inch trim and wait for the rest of your hair to catch up to the longest length. Your ends may not be as thin as you think just that some of your hair has grown faster and longer than the rest. You may be cutting off you lead hairs. (thanks Chicoro)

in due time, it's going to be such a job I'm planning it the best I can, thank you Lucia :kiss: I hope I don't go on a trimming srpee again :pray:
 
I'm going to relax and maybe do a small trim in 2 weeks. I'll be posting pics then. Besides that I'm not to happy with what's going on with my hair right now. I underestimated the time demands of grad school. I'm going to go back to moisturizing with avocado butter. It allows me moisturize ever 3-4 days rather than every other day.

And if all else fails.... KEEP UP WITH THE DEEP CONDITIONING!!!

Lucia yes i think it works better because i can go longer with out washing my hair, my scalp doesnt get itchy, i'm not left with flakes, and my hair doesnt get a crunchy feeling at the end of the week....

but again, my previous products worked good too, my hair felt good, it would just get frizzy a lot so it didnt look good all the time.

even though their containers for prods are small, you dont have to use that much (especially since i still use suave for co-washing and not CD).

i will wait a full 4wks of using it then post pix of how much product i've used. so far its been 2 wks i think? (i'll have to check my org post lol)

HI RAIN054,

HOW DO YOU USE YOUR AVACADO BUTTER, STRAIGHT OR BLENDED WITH OTHER THINGS. I JUST BOUGHT SOME AND I LOVE ALL DAY/ MULTI DAY CONDITIONERS.
