thanx T. i may use it to seal tonight after i spray my twists with ojon.
also shay just reminded me that i have a ton of those little skinny things that you make straw curls with. instead of twisting i may do straw curls this weekend and put my hooded dryer to use since i havent used that thing in forever lol.

So there are special straws that you buy or can you use any old straws? I saw someone on you tube use regular straws and just cut them.
 
chebaby said:
i sure will T. i think if i use it just 2-3 times a week i should still see an improvement.
i know in the summer when i puff everyday it will be good to seal on wet hair and use to braid at night to get second day hair but thats a ways away lol.
also even though i have a pretty wrap i think im going to invest in a satin pillow.

I have a Couple Satin Pillowcases I bought a coupla' years ago........Have Never Pulled them out:look:.

hmm?????:blush:

*goes off to look for them*
 
Shay you can use a regular straw. i've seen people use them. i just use flexi rods, the blue ones, because i dont have time to be cutting no straws lol.

I'm taking a break from putting in my kinky twists and now I'm trying to find out more about this Taliah Waajid Spray.

Type in taliah waajid here in the seach feature and there are a few threads on the mist. Also if you google it there are some youtube videos. That is what really made me get it is all the reviews. And when someone posted she was protein sensitive and could use it that sent me over the edge.

Eta: let me get some links for you real quick.

How long does it take to go from SL to APL?
Click to expand...

No matter how long it takes, it seems like forever. But the best way to figure it out is to measure the distance so you can get an idea of how many inches you need and then divide that by your growth rate. For me it's at least a year since I have like 7 inches between sl and apl.


Ladies, do any of you use emu oil? I've been having this itchy/sore scalp issue for years and I think it's a follicular problem and emu is supposed to help with that. Let me know how it worked for you if you've tried it.

I love emu oil! Its weird because it is kinda cloudy, but it really absorbs into the hair/skin. It is kinda expensive, I would try vitacost.com, for pure emu oil.
 
I'm so excited, I don't have anyone else to tell. I went to my PO Box and finally, three packages were there:
- My Rollersetting DVD from Macherieamour
- My Length Check T-Shirt (just in time for my relaxer on Friday)
- My Qhemet moisturizer samples!!

Woooooooooohooooooooooooooooo!!!! It's package day!!
 
why are my twists so frizzy already? its getting on my last nerves.
i just put these in monday night and by saturday they are gonna look a mess. i think its because of the ohm sweet hair pudding. i like the products but idk. that the only thing i can think of because my last twists with just thw twist and lock held up better than these and the ohm is the one that has hold lol.

Wow, I didn't realize that I missed all that. Yesterday I was working on my law school applications.

And today was me and David's two year anniversary.

He fixed some snow crabs and rented a Denzel Washington movie <3.

Does the pudding have more moisture than hold? That's maybe why your twists are frizzy. try just your leave in and shea butter or leave in and twist and loc. The butters should give you the hold you need.

Good day ladies im letting my dc marinate then im going to sit with it on for a spell. Im using silk elements dc mixed with oils, avocado butter and glycerin. Moisturizing with tw mist and sealing with shea amla butter. And oiling my scalp with african healing oil (ive been slacking on this). What are you all using today.
 
I've just finished up a 2oz Jar of MT. I have 16oz Bottle that I squirt into the 2oz Jars.

I will also be finishing up JBCO by Friday.

I have one more bottle of JBCO in the Stash.:grin:

And 2 Bottles of MT Stashed Away.

It helps me to not go too Crazy with the MT (by putting it into a Smaller Jar).:look:

La, the sweet hair pudding is very moisturizing and so is the twist and lock so you may be right about too much moisture. but the shp gives an ashy look by itself so thats why i mixed it so i can have shine but i may have to use it by itslef and just rub coconut oil through my hair when im done.

Are you still making your shea coconut oil mix? I have not been really mixing lately:look:. You can use your leave in and butter mix then seal with coconut oil.:yep: See if it gives you better results. I would think the ohm pudding would be better for wash and go's.
