Dang! Ok........
*did you use up anything?*
SE Mayo
HSH Pumpkin Puree masque
A few other things. I posted them the other day. Not doing too bad with using up. I could kick it up a notch but my hair needs me to stick with staples more.

Good Girl!
Please let us know how you Likey!
I don't know how I feel about the smell...it's super sweet. Hopefully when I actually use it it'll wear off quickly.

Are you going to dilute it with water?
Alot of the Ladies say it last longer or isn't as concentrated.
La Colocha, what does diluting it do?
First use, I'll do it full strength. I like to use things according to directions the first time.
If it works well and I like it, then I'll probably dilute it (which should help with the smell as well).
I saw that someone (I think La said this) diluted it with 2oz of product and 6oz of water and it still worked well so I'd probably try that mix. Then it will last much longer.
If I really love it, then I'll order the 32oz from the website because it would be much cheaper in the long run.

I use the braid spray on the length of the extension only but I use a daily moisturizer on the length of my own hair in the braid from roots to ends - say to about 12 inches from my scalp for good measure.
I want to make sure I get the moisturizer on all of my own hair. The braid spray I use mostly for a little shine.

Well bless your heart
I would like 3 total although I must admit that her terrible 2s stage had me rethinking.THANK YOU, THANK YOU! I just watched it on YT before getting in this thread. It was very helpful. ETA, you are funny!
Ok, that explains it
Pusha!Charz! Great Review ! Yes, the Steamer is worth every single penny!
IMHO: It does absolutely no good to have so many Fabulous Conditioners and Not See them Live up to their Potential to the Fullest!
Straight pusha! Don't you eva stop?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.
Did you find any other tw products there? My BSS marked up the price on tw products so I'm hoping CVS will eventually carry everything.
That;s what I should do. I've been kinda heavy handed with it.Are you going to dilute it with water?

La Colocha, what does diluting it do?

They had the lock it up and the african healing oil...I think those are the only products they'll be carrying until they see how it does.

Diluting just thins it out some if its too thick for you. I can use it either way but it works the same thinning it out too so might as well get more for my money.
Yep this is what i do and it has the same effect. Another posted mentioned it first in the orginal thread, i just experimented with the ratios.
I hope that you like it.Well bless your heart

Thanks! Get the steamer, fo real.
I used the TW mist on my daughter's and son's hair last night. Then I sealed with a butter mix. When I pick them up this afternoon, I will see how moisturized their hair looks. I haven't used it on my hair yet. I am going to co wash tomorrow and then I will try it. It is definately heavier than the shescentit moisture mist but that could be a good thing in the winter.

I took my braids down last night (4 days short of the 8 weeks I had originally intended to take them down) and will be trying Hesh Mehandi henna Powder today with some hibiscus, amla and brahmi powder mixed in to see if I'll like this one. I don't want a henna gloss today so I won't be adding any conditioner to it this time.
I just used up a box of Hesh Mehandi Henna and finished a box of brahmi powder in today's henna mix.

Girl, I knew I could count on you to try this out
. You or Char. Let us know how it works out. I believe it is Uncle Funky's Daughter. It is a salon in Houston I believe. From what I hear this was the name of a dj in Houston and I guess maybe she is his daughter? Also they carry Qhemet and some of the other "for us by us lines". Of course this is from their own line.What? There is a place called Funky Daughter...
I am officially addicted to you tube and fotki. Not a bad thing because it keeps me going with this transition. I think I may have found my hair twin. My hair has been stretched (by braiding it at night & the different styles) but I swear my new growth unstretched looks just like hers. She has a very detailed fotki and she is a member here. Once I am 4 months post which will be on November 1st I will take some pics and contact her. I will send her some pics and see what she says. This is her 2nd time going natural so I would love to hear why?

About this tw mist....
1) I think I used too much because it still isn't dry...but maybe that's a good thing. Anyway, I used like 2 oz to detangle my whole head. So maybe I will dilute it next time. We'll see.
2) I thought I was going to hate the smell at first...but when I was using it I liked it and now that it's dried a bit I still like it.
3) This stuff has some real detangling power. Like for real for real. I detangle in sections and this stuff was so slippery that it made detangling super easy. At first I tried with my new horn comb but I think I just don't like it. It sounds like it scrapes against my hair. So then I was like let me just do this with my fingers...and it was sooooooo easy. Like super duper easy. Usually I yank hair out if I try to detangle with my fingers but this was great.
At the end I had half the hair ball I usually have...and I'm not sure if it's because I broke less hair during detangling or if I didn't get all the shed hair out...but I'm going to monitor it while I work to use up this bottle and see.
4) My hair is super soft this morning. Like it feels like silky baby hair. It's amazing. I love the moisturized feeling. When I first rinse out my AO conditioner in the shower my hair feels so silky and soft and I've never been able to replicate that out of the shower...until NOW. Woohooo!
So all in all, I give the tw mist an A. Great for detangling, good smell, didn't have to use an obscene amount, moisturizes, and has my hair feeling yummy.
I have to see how my hair acts while I use this bottle but I think it'll be a repurchase.
On a side note...I think I just don't like combs. I seem to not have the ability to be gentle if I use a comb, no matter what kind of comb it is. And combs aren't soft enough...maybe I need one of those rubber ones? I don't know. So I guess I'll just stick with using my fingers for now.
ETA: It's a few hours later and I just took my braids out. I love how soft my hair is...and there's no oil/grease on my hand when I touch my hair...which I love even more. It still didn't dry all the way so I clearly used far too much. Next time I'll use less.

You know what, I need to stay out of this thread.
Now I want another doggone comb. But I'm not going to buy it because I have enough combs already.
