hello ladies
T, the coco tree detangling gee is amazing. i swear i didnt know what to do with myself because the stuff just melted away in my hair. i took a pea size and ran it along the braid and then started taking the braids out with NO problem. and i didnt even make a dent in the jar. it is now a staple.

then i shampood, lathered twice, and then deep conditioned for 30 minutes with AO rose masquite. i really like it. as soon as i put it on my hair it dissapeared. i had to add more to make sure my hair was coated before i got under my cap.
then i dried my hair for a couple of minutes with my towel and then put my hair in chunky braids for a braid out with jc twist and lock. i hope it comes out nice.

You know, the bolded has been happening to me since I now have so much new growth on my head but this never happened with my relaxed hair.

Sometimes I feel like I don't even put enough conditioner on my head but when I go to wash it out, loaaaads of conditioner come out. Where does it all go when I apply it:perplexed?
 
aggie this has never happened to me before, at least not BEFORE i even deep condition.
i thought it might be because i lathered twice to remove all the oil and maybe my hair was just sucking up the moisture or something. and then i found out that AO RM is supposed to be light protein, thats great for me because yall know i love love love me some protein.
also ladies my braid out turned out fab. this is the first braid out that actually turned out great. all the other ones i ended up co washing out and doing wash and gos. i am sad to say i only have 2 more uses out of my jc twist and lock and im gonna cry when that day comes. i am really gonna miss this stuff. i can not come out of my pockets over $20 for 4oz everytime i run out. the only product i know that even comes close to the twist and lock is miss jessies curly meringue and thats even more exspencive. i will get a jar when she has her christmas sale, i still have half a sample jar left so im good. when i do run out of the jane carter i will pick up a jar of taliah waajid twist lock stuff. its under 10 bucks so that would be amazing if it gives me the same result.
im gonna braid my hair again tonight with the twist and lcok to wear another braid out and this time i will fluff it even more to make it even bigger since i have had compliments on it today. i was scared to fluff too much lol.

I am jelly Che. I am determined to learn how to do a good twist out. I am going to keep trying until I can get it right.
 
mkd in you pic your hair looks much silkier than mine. my hair is a fine 3c but its not silky so the braid/twist out turns out sort of bushy which i like because i can make it look thicker even though my hair is not thick at all.
keep working on it, you will get there. like i said this is the first time its actually looked good enough for me to wear it out.




OMG i dont knwo if yall remember the girl i say works in my building with the big natural hair. im always talking about her. well anyway she just recently colored her hair black and i think today she is rocking a weave because its straight and like apl and is so darn cute. its beautiful. its a blunt bang and the rest is striaght and omg its beautiful. she normally wears what i think are wash and goes but sometimes she wear exstention braids or a flat iron. her hair always looks so cute. when i first big chopped i was secretly hoping she was say something and she did:blush:
 
Yeah Che, my hair is pretty silky and fine to the point where it really doesn't do much of anything. I prefer twist outs and braid outs that have volume and mine just don't. I will keep practicing until I get it right though.

Do you rebraid at night?

im gonna re braid tonight to make sure that in the morning i still have definition. also i will rebraid to protect my ends.

have you tried foams? they are suppossed to be good with thickening the hair or helping the hair appear thicker.
also im trying to picture it in my head so forgive me if im wrong but it seems like the smaller the twist/braid the fuller the hair would be. maybe you can do the regular two strand twists and then when all done take the twists and tiwst them together. that should create waves and curls on top of the waves and curls the twist out would already have and maybe that would make it bigger.

Good Morning La,

OT - You and I were trying stuff out on our skin it seems. I used Hesh Neem and hesh Orange Leaf powder mixed with 1/3 squeeze of lemon and distilled water. I made a paste with it and applied it to my face and let it dry. It felt like a clay masque, it tingled and tightened my skin and when I washed it off first with warm water then with cold water, my skin looked like a baby's bottom.

My skin was so clear, clean, soft and smooth. I will be doing this again for sure. Now that I've tried these two powders, it's time to finally get that Hesh Skin Tone powder as well. The powders last a very long time because I have some left over that I have in the fridge to use for my next facial session maybe tonight or tomorrow night. Hmmm, I'm thinking about using my steamer to take off the masque when I do it again. I can't wait to try it.

Hi miss aggie im sorry i missed you this morning. You are doing your thing with the powders, you should make some ready mixes and sell them. For those who don't want to or don't have the time.:yep:
 
Good day ladies im dcing right now with banana brulee and i used it up. Im not getting anymore. I like the smell (black coconut) but i can do without it. I wish she had some soaps:look: or something body wise in that scent.
 
i had to throw away my oyin honey wash last night :/
when i was using it i didnt really like it because it made my hair waxy and i just didnt like it. that was like 4 months ago. i was gonna use it last night but it turned really really thick. it wouldnt even move when i turned the bottle upside down. and when i shook it up it was lump lol. i hope nothing was growing in it. i got it from the oyin shop so it couldnt have been old. oh well.
 
chebaby said:
lol no we traded the GPB which i love love love.
i am gonna try the RM tonight but i will use my heat cap instead of my hard bonnet dryer because i dont feel like setting that thing up. to me the heat cap doesnt do as good as the bannet but oh well.

Awww Che!:kiss: You're So Sweet!

Thanks! But I have several Items in My Cart.

Maybe Next time!:look:
 
ok. have you ever noticed that the smiley getting kissed eyes are so close together lol.

i just remembered i have some blended beauty curly frizz pudding and that may be great for braid outs so i will try that tonight. i need to moisturize with something light first though because my hair feels kinda dry. i might use the TW mist as a moisturizer and the blended beauty as a styler, well see.

I got a lot of uses out of the sample jar and you know how I do :lachen:. Think--this is with me detangling 2x/wk and sectioning my hair in 4 sections. With Qhemets' products you don't need much and that is a sign of quality for me. 8 oz jars of her products will last forever. Shoot even 4 oz.
