That Sounds Like an Agressive Plan Che!:grin:

WOW That will be 4 Down!:up:

I HATED THAT YTC. I actually sold it on the Exchange Forum, I shoulda' just 'gave it to the girl'.:nono:

I couldn't get past the 'smell' And Smells normally don't bother me per se, but It was something about this one, that could not be tolerated.

Alot of Ladies really Love it Tho':drunk:

the smells really doesnt bother me. i thought it smelled fresh like baby powder. what i didnt like is that it goes on really nice and smooth and even detangles really well, and then when you rinse it out its like you never put anything on your hair before. EVER lol. but i can go through it quick though because its a great detangler so ill use it for that purpose.

That's a Great Idea.:grin:

Finding a Dual Purpose for Products. Like Brownie and her Final Rinses (which I thougt was a great idea too). To use a conditioner you wouldn't necessarily use as a DC, and use it as a Final Rinse out Conditioner. Like a Creme Rinse.

La: With Her Natural Butter DC Mixtures, etc....

And now, finding a way to use a product as a detangler, that may not be good for much else.

These are helpful tips.

La, there was a progress thread last week, I think Kami. Her hair is beautiful but her edges were significantly thicker from JBCO!

I saw her hair is pretty.
 
I'm going to end up taking out these twists tomorrow morning and starting over maybe Saturday. I know how I have to do my whole head in one sitting, or else it won't look right. And know I know why stylists start from the back.

Here's the front (which I did yesterday), today, after it's been smashed while sleeping and shoved under two hoods:

And here's the back I just did, all perfect and shiny.

I'm excited to try again and actually finish this time. :lol:
 
I loooove jbco! I mixed it with my coconut oil and my hair feels great. I mixed it in my nourish and shine, with avocado butter, and coconut oil..... my hair is feeling lovely. I tested it on different parts of my head, lol. I am sooo happy!
 
I had bought a sample pack of Miss Jessie's garbage products about a year ago, and I am forcing myself to use them up. This morning I put some of the silkening or is it the stretching one in my hair for definition. I oiled my hair with some coconut oil before I put it in. It looks really pretty and defined, and I'm sure it won't be dry like it normally gets when I use their products. But the smell! OMGosh, it's so sickening and cloying :barf: too darn sweet.
 
Thanks a lot, ladies! :kiss:

La, my twists never stay in long. Maybe 2-4 days. Mostly because I play with them too much and I can't "sleep cute" to keep them from frizzing. I need to try twisting closer to the root to help fix that.

You can start the twist off as a braid and then twist. It helps keep it looking neater longer especially at the root. Some people flat twist then twist the ends but i don't know how to do that.
 
Last night i used tw mix and jcns to moisturze, Im going to dilute the last of my tw spritz and the bottle will be gone. But it will take me about another 2 weeks to use the diluted portion up. Im glad i found a way to stretch it out. I have 4 whole bottle of tw mist left and they will last me until spring.

Today is wash day and im going to prepoo with coffee butter and hibiscus oil. I whipped it the other day to make it easier to apply. Then i will wash with elucence moisture poo, conditon with califa conditoner(Im not opening another bottle of mbc until i finish this open califa one). And dc with aowc+jbco. Im getting a product in the mail today so im going to braid with tw mix and the new moisturizer. Use jbco on my scalp and edges.

Shay i tried to do the use one moisturizer before i go on to another but i can't :look: I like everything that i have so far and i can't help to rotate them. It will take me longer to use them up but i should be getting done with them all at about the same time. By then im hoping it will be time for me to reorder.

I found out last night that bony carries a few things that im using. Jc,tw,jbco so i will order those from them from now on. I like jbco.com but if i can get most of my stuff at one place then that's what ill do. It will be cheaper as far as shipping in the long run.

i wonder how that would look. i don't twist like a two stranded twist, i just twist the hair around my index finger. i'll try the braid idea, though. thanks.
 
hi ladies
my curlmart order hasnt shipped yet. they normally ship the next day so im shocked. also becuase of that i cant use the curls shampoo, i have to clarify with kenra. unless i still have that almost empty bottle of keracare 1st lather which i liked. i will look for that.

anyway my twist out sucked so i co washed with organix coconut milk conditioner and i have to say this time i liked it. it does have a good amount of protein in it and i love that. i used the whole bottle because i took my twists out and applied it to dry hair. then i wet my hair and detaingled with my fingers, rinsed it all out and then applied the rest and let it sit. my hair felt great. then i did a w&g using brbc, sebastian wet, and shea butter. my hair is still damp so i'll see if its soft when it dries. shea butter never lets me down so im not worried.
i think CURLS souffle either isnt moisturizing enough for me or i need to use it during the summer months. my hair is a very fine 3c(which is why i use so much protein) but my hair loves the whipped cream which is 10x heavier than the souffle. my hair LOVES heavy products so maybe i was wrong, souffle might not be for me.
 
I kind of want to flat iron my hair tonight but I know I probably won't. My sister bought me a sedu for my birthday back in August and I still haven't used it.

Ok, you can try a few and see how they look, take a section and start off a braid, take those 3 pieces and braid one time then twist around your finger how you normally do and see how that works.:yep:

Yeah Che: Before you 'totally Rule it Out' give it another try say Spring/Summer.:yep: Put it away for now and re-visit it.
 
Random Thought: I was thinking my hair came out so soft and shiny last night,:look: I may try to add another 4 weeks to my stretch which would actually make it 20 Weeks.:blush:

If I can keep it moisturized and de-tangled, because SSK's are starting to give me the blues, so I keep it combed to remove 'shed hairs.':nono:

That (SSK's) will be the only thing that will cause me to relax sooner, because it is a pain to deal with. Imma keep it moisturized, and go from there. Even if I relax at 18 (instead of the 16) that would be a happy medium.:yep:

I was thinking I could go longer, because I will be wearing my 'wig':yawn:
 
Oh Yeah, in "Other Hair News" My SheScentIt Came Today! YAY!:yay:

So, that's 3 down and 2 to Go! Still waiting on Afroveda and Hairveda (no doubt).:rolleyes:

OT: Where the DEBIL is Brownie:look: ???????? She's MIA!

In Hawaii Someplace?:beach:
 
I used the MHC shampoo, conditioner and dc today. It feels good in my hair but I won't repurchase it. I think I have enough for one more wash.
