Msa do you know any place on etsy that sells head wraps? I usually just go to the fabric store but i would like to look at some different ones.

Well I saw this posted on another forum...

And here's a headwrap tutorial by Virtuous Jewel...you can basically use any scarf

I usually buy scarves from target and I have my mom get them on her travels (I literally have like 100 scarves)...it's one of the styles I want to try out in the coming weeks.

This place also has a bunch of scarves...I haven't ordered from here either.

Thank you msa, i appreciate it. I found a few on etsy but they are taxing. I might as well stick to the fabric store. Im going to look at these you posted thanks again.

I've Decided the Amla and Heavy Cream is too heavy for my Hair. But it sure does feel really good going on.

Will finish up the sample. Love the Olive & Honey. I also have a sample of the Burdock Root (which I hear is lighter than the AHC).

Thanks again CharzB for turning me onto Qhemet!

I should have known they would have a lot of butterflies . Beautiful stuff. Saved it in my favorites. I will be buying from them in the future .

Aren't they just gorgeous? And the shipping is super cheap...though it can take a few weeks to get to you since they're coming from Vietnam.

Since I'm planning to wear my hair up for the next year I'm going to buy a few to make it interesting.

 

[Shay72]

I like this color one, I found her picture on google when i googled head wraps. That is sharp.

I really like this. Makes me think-- I wonder what my shrinkage will be like once I cut these relaxed/texlaxed ends off even after a 2 year transition. My shrinkage is ridiculous now.

Yes they are . I plan to buy quite a few in preparation for my BAB (Big A$$ Bun) !

Welcome to the Challenge CBFly:Flahsssss aka PJ Anonomyous

So....Items 1-5 will any of that be a Repurchase or will you search for other products?o

Thankss!
And no, I won't be repurchasing any of that stuff....the Burt's Bees did nothing, the Herbal Shampoo and CoN are mediocre, plus the Herbal Shampoo isn't worth the money, and the Break's Over is basically less moisturizing Hello Hydration in a different bottle.

And all this talking of steamers is making me start to give my debit card the side-eye. For those of you with stand up steamers, how are you storing them? I don't live in a big space, so storage can be an issue. And do you guys know of any comparable table top steamers?

I don't have a BAB but I definitely plan on getting some things from there, too. In the NEAR future.

Shrinkage is a beast. It took me a long time to even notice my hair is growing. But i keep it strethched now. Which is easier to manipulate. I have 100% shrinkage. My hair would go straight back in my scalp if it could.

You might like the heavy cream more in the cold winter. And the burdockroot for the warmer months.

So, I got 3 hairpins and the shipping was only 2.99.

I Personally think ALL Hair Afficianados Should have A Steamer in the Home.

I had No Interest in a Table Top.

It takes up Space. But I have a Walk-In in my Master Bedroom where I store both my Stand Up Steamer & Stand Up Dryer.

It's definitely worth the Investment tho.

Moisture to the 10th Power.

Dang when you said near future, you really meant it. Remember, it can take a few weeks to get them (that's what I read in reviews on lhc).

I have to save up since I want to just order all the ones I want at once.

I don't even "store" mine. It is sitting in my living room. If I ever get around to cleaning my front closet I'm sure it will fit in there.

Yeah, I think I want to order quite a few. I need to assess the damage and take it from there. I will order all of the ones I want at the same time because that's the way I shop.

Girl, You been Hangin' in This Thread Long Enough to KNOW When Serious PJ's Say: "in the near future"

You have neva lied, T, cuz I sure did have them in the cart when I said near future!!!!!!

I only got 3 because I want to make sure they are well-made. The reviews seem good, though. I will surely let ya'll know.

From what I've read they are really well made. If ladies with classic and knee length hair can use them, I'm sure I can too lol.

Which ones did you get?

I kind of, slightly, want a steamer...but I have absolutely no space or money for it so it's not going to happen. Maybe I'll try to do the homemade steam treatment and see how that works out. I've found this steam cap http://www.heatcap.com/ but I don't think it can be ordered anymore. If anyone knows of a steam cap let me know.

Oh and has anyone steamed with just coconut oil? That's what I'd be steaming with I think.

Well when I do the homegrown version I'll try it with the wc....even though that means I'd have to get out of the shower...but I'll do it just to see what it's like.

ETA: I forgot I don't have a hooded dryer to do it with lol.

I tried to copy the pics but no luck. I got 2 of the plain ones, one is two-pronged, the other three-pronged. And I got one carved into some flower design at the end. I only looked through about 4 pages. I'm sure I'll want more. I have some friends and family who I know will love them!

I want at least one from every page...I think I'll get them as my holiday present to myself.
