I will do mine starting friday, i was lazy last week so im going to do mine sitting under a bonnet dryer. I don't know if i should do it as a prepoo or before or after my dc.
 
I used up a bottle of HE Hello Hydration conditioner. I love it so I will definitely be getting more. I don't actually need it right now but I like to have it. I also used up my 32oz of Porosity Control but I have a backup of that. I don't think I'll use anything else up this week but I'm still going to buy some new stuff this week.

I do mine as a prepoo.

I don't think I will order anything from FNWL because of course I want 20% off. I don't think I can find $75 worth of stuff that I want.
 
Okay I found the post by Traycee. She was sharing what she does in the summer. I also thought I would include a quote about how she buns.

Traycee said:
I spritz daily with Aloe Vera Juice , Glycerin, and Water...I ran out last month of Aloe so I have been spritzing with just Glycerin and distilled water....I spritz my new growth and hair in the morning till very damp..then use my moisturizer and seal with oil ...Then bun..Put a little aloe vera gel on my edges and scarf



Because its been so hot...Im going back to spritzing in the morning and at night for the summer



After co-washing or washing..After I apply my leave ins and oil ...I just let my hair hang for about a hour or so ..Then bun while my hair is damp..



Thats it....

Traycee said:
Oh I forgot...When I bun I use two Goodie Elastic bands....I use the first one and make a loose pony tail...Twist my hair then wrap it around and use the second Elastic band to secure my bun....



I only take down my pony every couple of days...Everyday I just undo the bun leaving the pony and spritz moisturize and seal the length of my pony.And rebun..Put a little of Elasta Qp Mango Butter and Aloe Vera Gel to my edges ...



Staying out of my hair has allowed me to stretch

Here is what I said. I didn't even do this :nono:! I gotta get back to what works so I will start this up. It's easy to do it in the fall and winter because if you have the right moisturizer you can saturate or dampen your hair without it looking or feeling too wet. I miss my hydrasoft :sad:.

Shay72 said:
I've been bunning everyday/all day since 10/08. My routine is quite similiar to Traycee's for spring & summer. If I have cowashed in the morning prior to work I will do spray leave in, moisturize, seal, then bun. I actually do it on sopping wet hair. My hair has been so strong with me upping the protein & using the ayurvedic powders I don't worry. If it is not a cowash in the morning day then in the morning I will use a spray leave in to saturate my hair, then moisturize, seal, then bun. I use all kinds of things for my edges and put on a scarf also. I repeat the process before I go to bed at night.

OMFG this Komaza Shea Butter Hair Lotion smells so goooood! Thanks Char! It's so thick and creamy too. I'm hoping it's a keeper just because it smells so good. Don't ask me what it smells like because I'm terrible at that. All I can do is tell you is it smells goooooooooooood :lick:.

Your welcome! Its like buttercream frosting!

I got my order from Shescentit today and I'm not really happy about what I got. The containers were light so I weighed them. The Gillian butters where 2.72 and 2.92 oz with the container while the Banana Brulee (sample) was 2.04 oz which seems about right keeping the weight of the container into consideration. I'm not happy about being shorted and sent an email. Lets see what becomes of this.

Other than that, they smell so good. Thanks Charz for recommending the Pink Lemonade.

ETA: The containers weren't full.

hey girl. i know you didnt ask me but i buy my essential balms black soap from almost any bss in MD. closer to the dc side. i think you can only buy essential balms products in dc and md.
 
i used up my bottle of AO GPB today for a co wash. i have another bottle thanx to T.

i think the next thing im gonna work on is my curls milkshake. its like 40% full and i really like it so starting tomorrow i will work on getting rid of it. it will not be a repurchase.

Just bought the red one! Thanks <3

I AM NOT GETTING BRAIDS/TWIST

My hairline can't take it. I had a braider put a kinky twist in the front, so I could see how much pressure it would exert on my hairline and it was too much....I got little bumps around the braid, even after she took it out!

yea my hair cant take it either. oh well. isnt it funny that when relaxed it seemed like i could put my hair through so much but now as a natural im not even taking chances?
