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.

I know my twists shrink up. I do like the braids better, they show more length.:yep:
 
I bought protein filler and ion hair color (semi permanent rinse) in black and dark brown. I need to do a rinse, I am over the red from the henna.
 
Well.......I'm excited it's Almost the Weekend.:grin:

I think after reading Shay's Post yesterday, I may Clarify as well. Thanks Shay.

(It's been a minute). So, I may use my Clarifying Conditioner (or 'Poo) Co-Wash and then Co-Wash with the Garlic Conditioner, Reconstruct, DC and Go from there.

Don't Know if I'll be using up anything. But I will definitely "try.":look: I am hoping to use up at least 1 or 2 things (for sure). I really want to.

I am also keeping a watchful eye on Moisture levels as well.

Im going to jump on the train too and clarify. Time is flying by so quick i don't remember when i last did it. What does a reconstructor do? Is it like protein?
 
i think im gonna use my afroveda totally twisted butter along with the shea amla tonight. im also gonna do my braids smaller so that they will stay longer and i wont be tempted to take them out. also when i get the itch to take my braids out, i will just co wash. if i have to co wash every other day then so be it. i want to leave these bad boys in as long as possible. im talking maybe 2-3 weeks(i doubt it though lmao).

my heat damage parts are really messing with my mind. im at the point(again) that i want to chop all my hair off again and start over with no damage.

It is protein. Repairs & reconstructs. Of course there are light ones and heavy ones. I finished my Giovanni Nutrafix Reconstructor tonight. This would be considered a light one.
 
Used up a YTCa mask and Chi SI. Terri sent me an AO White Camellia Condish a couple months back so I'll either use this as a DC or one of my YTCa mask. I have another bottle of SI to use up. I'll be done with my YTCu condish by my next wash.

I picked up another bottle of Chi Keratin Mist today.

^^ I feel the same way except for me its that I want to chop off the colored part of my hair. But my roots are only 5 or 6 inches and I don't think I can cut that much.

I am kind of close to using up a pump bottle of aussie moist, a bottle of TJ Nourish Spa, and banana brulee. I have replacements of the aussie and the banana brulee and I don't think the TJ is something I will replace. Once I use these, I am going to start looking for new stuff to try.

I'm at work not wanting to do a dayum thing so that's why I am on here early. Anyways I got my Claudie's (finally). I'm kinda hoping I don't like the stuff but we shall see. If I do I can just make big orders and plan to wait for a minute. The edge gro balm I don't think I would need to order again bc my edges are coming back in nicely with what I've been doing so far and this will just add to it. I will probably have this for a long time to come. The protein deep condish smells nice, it's creamy, and thick. I will give it a try on Monday.
 
So, I'm so excited to do my hair this Saturday -- feels like it's been forever. Thanks to Terri, I think I'm going to go all Phyto for the next several months. Also, I don't think I'll need to buy another conditioner through 2010, so that will be a personal challenge (I was going to get that banana brule, but I guess it will still be there in 2011, ETA: and the Dominican conditioners - Silicon Mix, 10 en 1, etc.....oh boy...). If anything, I'll probably buy shampoo and maybe a leave-in. Still buying the Qhemet Burdock Root full size on black Friday.

Charz, I hate SSK too. When I was cowashing my hair every day I was getting them like crazy. I don't have them anymore. It took me like 2 weeks to figure out I was doing too much manipulating. I know you do co wash like that but just thought I would share.

Aggie, are you still taking fish oil? Are you liking it?

Thanks girl. I stopped cowashing a month ago, now I just wash once a week. But I haven't gotten a good trim since then. I am having second thoughts about the weave thing, so I may turn the installation appointment into a trim appt.

My hair has been looking so good lately. Someone at work just told me how nice it looked.
 
I need a trim too. I made an appointment for next weekend. I have discovered that I can't go for longer than 4 months without trimming.

I love that jacket. And its a good price.

Yes I am still taking fish oils. I started taking them in June and have kept up with it ever since. I think I when I run out, I'm getting the Carlson's Labs Fish Oil next go round:yep:. I heard great things about that one.
 
I take the NSI fish oil, like 2126 mg. I really like them. If you like the Carlson, I may switch over.
 
hi ladies
i love that coat Charz.

i did my braids last night and im keeping these suckers in FOREVER. it took me until 5am too finish and no i did not take breaks. they are much smaller than i normally make them and they look beautiful, you cant even tell that some of the ends in the front dont curl. i really like them but will never do them this small again. i am still so tired lol. i used totally twisted which i now LOVE, it has more slip than my beloved shea amla. i used the shea amla to moisturize because i did them on dry hair and then the TT to braid. when i was finished i sprayed my hair with ojon and then saturated my hair in a lot of coconut oil(made sure to get my scalp), tied on my pretty wrap and called it a night.
saturday i plan on co washing these bad boys with the jasons conditioner T gave me (thanx girl) and sealing with castor oil. if i get my afroveda buy saturday then i will moisturize with the cocolatte butter.
the guy who said he didnt like my briads didnt speak to me today:giggle:
 
I was so frustrated at work (lack of communication) that I forgot my Claudie's products there. Granted I have like an 8 minute commute but I refused to turn around. Now I'm over it and thinking I should have turned around :giggle:.
 
i would have turned around in the middle of the street going the wrong way and parking on the side walk to get my stuff.
