I only detangle once a week, because doing otherwise is too much manipulation for my hair. If you are cowashing often you might want to detangle more if you are not washing in braids or sections.

I have become a real skeptic about detanglers. IMO anything that has good slip will detangle. There is no miracle product that will magically seperate knots and matted hair. I have tried allot of detanglers, included Qhemet's. I had to give it up because it really wasn't doing anything that a cowash conditioner with slip, like Moist 24/7 can't do. The CTDG says to leave it in too, I think its a personal preference, to use it as a leave-in as well.

I hope this makes sense.

Btw, do you know of a good place to get pedicures in the DMV?

It makes sense. I've been in denial. I have been half a$$ing my detangling and not doing it enough.

Modern Nails at Tyson. Haven't been there in years but when I did they were thorough and very clean.

Alot of detanglers double as leave-in, they keep the hair soft and manageble. For your other question, In what styles do you wear your hair? I keep mine in plaits most of the time but where i work i can wear head wraps or scarves, i barely wear my hair out. I only detangle once a week on wash day. The key is to find styles that keep your hair untangled that you can wear to work and still look professional. Buns,updo's, etc.

I bun all day, everyday. If I do anything different it is a twistout.

I've decided guys, if I like the afroveda moisturziers I have coming in the mail, then I will end my moisturizer quest. I already got some good ones like AOHC, OHHB, Juices and Berries, Burnt Sugar, and Afroveda Curly Custard.

Unless there is a moisturizer that combs my hair for me.

Oh, and leave-in conditioners don't count *cough* Coco Cream *cough*

I'm with you Char. I got about 10 :look: different ones and I may add one more and be done with it.

When do you think Hairveda's fall sale is gonna be and is it better then her black friday sale?

You know I had just joined this site mid August so I don't even think I knew what a Hairveda was. I would have to go back and look at my checkbook registers.

I don't know, this would be my first year, you have to ask shay, she knows from last year. Im not going to be ordering from them anymore when my stuff is gone. Winter is coming and i don't want to wait a month or more for my products. My conditioners still aren't here and its been since the 8th of august. No emails, nothing and with sales coming and all. My patience is too thin. By the time my stuff comes i could have spent the money making my own. Real talk, and i don't want to have to buy tons of products just because of waiting time. I want to keep my stash small.

i dont know if im gonna order from hairveda anymore either. the only thing i use is the vatika frosting, cocasta oil and whipped gelly.
im in love with afrovedas whipped gelly and i dont really need vatika frosting as long as i have coconut oil.
i may order the cocasta here and there since i really like it but an 8oz bottle will last me forever.

i traded a blended beauty butter for someones afroveda shea amla butter so i cant wait to get it. that means i will have almost all her butters and stylers but i need the 8oz cocolatte which i love.

i love afroveda her butters are amazing. i used the pur whipped gelly and shea amla butter today and my hair feels and looks amazing.

See first response :lachen:.
 
@shay, You co wash right? How is your hair fall? If your hair gets tangled everytime you wet it, you can finger detangle through the week, then comb detangle on wash day. Just keep an eye on how much hair your losing. If you start losing too much (what your comfortable with) you should try detangling once a week.

One thing I am definitely thankful for is coming here and learning how to take better care of my hair. When I first got here there was hair everywhere. Now I barely lose any hair. Bottom line is I need to detangle more and do a better job with it. This is practice for when I am natural. I will try your suggestion this upcoming week.
 
i detaingel once a week with a wide tooth shower comb. thats usually sunday when i deep treat. but i finger comb everday because i wet my hair every day.

if i dont have time to detaingle the way i need to then i will use KC KT as a leave in so i dont get extra taingles.
also i've learned to apply coconut oil to my scalp before i wet my hair and that helps ease the taingles out.

Okay Girl...IK It's A Sale & All.:look:

But Yous a PUSHA! Especially using the Big Font and Errthang.:perplexed

Uhhh....You weren't even tryna' be discreet.:sekret:

:lachen::lachen::lachen:
 
I detangle now only on wash days. I try not to touch the comb any other time. I find that I also experience far less breakage and no more pieces of hair all over the place. Wow, I am learning so much since coming to this board too.
 
Ok ladies i made a deep moisturizing treatment. Heres what i used

3Tbs- Yes to carrots mud mask- I needed a good conditoner base, or else it would be just oils and butter. Next time i will try full fat yogurt.

1tsp- spun honey:lick:
1tsp- avocado oil
1tsp- sweet almond oil
1tsp- apricot kernal oil
1tsp- veg glycerin
1tsp- avocado butter:lick:
1tsp- mango butter- this butter is horrible, really gritty, i had to put in the microwave. I won't buy this again:nono:.
I used a baking teaspoon and tablespoon.


I whip with my handmixer for about 3 minutes, very creamy and thick consistancy, and surprisingly not greasy. It rinsed off my hands easy. You can tweak this how you like to. You would need more if you have alot of hair. I didn't use more ytc because i only needed a good base, i didn't want the mixture to be mostly conditioner. I wanted to see how good everything worked together. Ive had it in my hair for a bit and will rinse out tonight and give results.
 
i cant wait to hear the results.

i was thinking about doing the banana thing again this weekend since i plan on staying inside most of saturday. the bananas are ripe now so they should be able to mix easier. if i do that then that means i can hold on to my ashlii amala deep conditioner a lil bit longer and im kool with that lmao.

Are you using a hand mixer? That will make it smooth or get some cheap banana baby food. Ive used that before and it works. I will rinse my hair in about an hour.:yep:
 
So, T linked me to the code for the JBCO. I only ordered two, and now I'm thinking I should have gotten a few more. Can't beat the price. I'll get some more before the discount ends. I also ordered some more Ayurvedic hair butter from Njoi.

I don't think I'll use anything up this coming week. Maybe my Oyin Honey Hemp. Oh, I just remembered I have one or two more uses of my Hydratherma Moisture/Protein Balance leave in. I think I have a 2 oz backup of this, but I'll have to reorder next week.
 
I have some JBCO and I haven't even't used it yet. I think I'm still traumatized from trying to use the pomade.

LC that deep condish sounds yummy. I'm supposed to be doing my hair but I've been in & out of sleep so I ain't getting much done. I've been prepooing for hours now.
 
It stank T. I felt everyone knew and kept looking at me all day. Many times I would think what is that smell then realize it was me. Very thick , grease like consistency.

The stank was horrible wasn't it:lachen:. I rinsed the deep treament out and i love it. My hair really soft. I will try the same thing next week and put in yogurt instead of the ytc. But i like what i came up with.:yep: I then put in s-curl and sealed with avocado butter.:up:
