I heard this Segment on the News the Other Night, Talking about "DRY AIR". How the Air is dry this time of Year. The Office Buildings we work in are "dry" The Heaters in our Cars, "dry" the heat in our Homes "dry" and the effects it has on Skin, Sinuses etc.....

I have rosemary oil and I've been using that daggone CD's Mimosa Hair Honey since last week trying to use it upI'd do a HOT with EVOO or EVCO and add in some Peppermint, Tea Tree or Rosemary EO for additional stimulation and massage in + heat cap.
And then a Nice Co-Wash with something really moisturizing.
It also seems like Da' Buttas would be helping with that as well?
*this is the time of year when dryness prevails*
. I will go back to my butters 
. Yes, I do have the Afroveda Shikakai
I clarify once per month.
As usual you all came to the rescue
. Thanks!

Girl, I was thinking the Exact Same Thing
I was just sitting here making a "mental note" of what more could I do to ward off any negatives that this weather may bring. I will definitely keep my moisture levels up. WE ALL got to make it through with Retention, Retention. Retention. (And Growth).
*goes off to look for more moisturizing products*

i will be upping my moisture too. right now i plan on rocking a puff this whole week. so i will probably co wash a couple of times and deep condition again this week. after that, when i go back to braids and twists i will still deep condition twice a week. once when i out them in and then again mid week.
right now my hair is soft soft soft and i want it to stay that way.

She was 4, she is now 5 i started her this year when i joined and learned how to protect my hair at night. You can find kids satin bonnets at sally's or your local bss. Make sure they are satin and not polyester. Some say satin on the front but when you look in the back it says 100% polyester
erplexed. Sally's may very from city to city what they have. My little one sleeps wild but hers stays on and its loose. If your baby sleeps through the night it should stay on, unless she pulls it off. Also if you get one and find that its too big just take a satin scrunchie and loosely bind the excess material. Sorry so long. Hth.

You know, I was once confused about this. I couldn't find the article I read a few months ago but I think this might help.

Good morning ladies, tonight im going to dc with banana brulee. I want to use elucence mbc but i have to get rid of the bb first . Im also going to moisturize with tw mist, and jojoba butter and use some oil mix on my scalp. Hope everyone is doing well and finding their staples. Im settled at the moment and my goal is to stick with these products. Its always easier said than done but im loving my products right know and im hoping that it will continue. Everyone have a good day.

This sounds like me last night. I DC on dry hair with AO GPB and and then CW with Elucence MBC. Then I DC with banana brulee. After that, I used the TW mist and sealed with my mixture of shea and avocado butter and a bunch of oils. I really like the TW mist. My denman glided through my hair. Today, my hair feels good and moisturized. The real test for me will be using it on dry hair tonight.
I love babies, I wish my DH wanted one more

So I figured out the moisture from the tw mist lasts about two days...I probably could have gone a little bit longer but my ends were dry so I reapplied a bit last night (my roots were fine). Also, my hair just has this silky feel to it that I really like (seriously it's like new born baby hair). And, moisturizing with the tw mist made it much easier to oil my hair (it's easier to section and I use less oil).
I've also figured out that unlike when I use conditioner to moisturize, I need to let my hair dry COMPLETELY in my braids before I take them out if I use the tw mist otherwise my hair shrinks right back up and tangles.
Once I get down to half the bottle I'm going to dilute it and see how it works that way as well.
Oh and tonight I'm going to try my experiment with conditioner, water, and gelatin powder as my cowash. My hair needs some strength and Aggie's been doing it for a while and says it's working really well for her.

when i do my twists and braids its not for a twist/braid out. i usually do them small so they can stay. if i were gonna do a twist out i would make them bigger so that it will be a full chunky look when i take it out.
have you tried the curly nikki twist and curl? that may make your hair seem fuller. you do individual twists and then curl the ends with a rod and then when you take them out you fluff the hair. my hair is too short to do all that right now but all the pics ive seen of women who did it their hair comes out so full. my hair is fine as well. and not to thick

yea i think im gonna do braids tonight. monday this contractor that works here siad to me "i like your hair that way". i said thank you but i got the feeling he didnt like my hair in the braids(he was saying he liked my puff. so then yesterday he sees me again and says "i like your hair like that, i really didnt like the other one". i just laughed but found it funny that he was so comfortable with telling me what he didnt like about me. it was just odd.
but yea, tonight i will braid my hair with shea amla on dry hair. i miss my twist but they dont last as long or hang as well as braids.

Thanks Che, I have tried the twist and curl, I didn't like the way it came out. Maybe I will try again.
