Who buns a lot? I know BM but I can't think of any of our other ladies? Charz, how often are you bunning? I need some new bun styles, I am about to hit youtube. I am tired of looking at the same bun in my head

Hey, I'm coming from Towson Town Center which is right by Pikesville. I am getting a consultation with one of Bobbi Brown's National Artists. I am going on Saturday.

i'm going sunday, when all the classes cost money. it's the only day my girlfriend is off and she wanted to go.

you are gonna get all the good stuff!

MKD, I bun a lot. Not much variation though. I just switch headbands and bun placement. I am now trying out/figuring how to use my quecraft sticks/toys. I bought two and a flower scrunchie (which broke ). I do like bunning though. I just try to keep from having to use a scrunchie, or bending my ends underneath. I mostly do the bun where you twirl the hair and bring it around (i guess a donut bun without the sock/foam filling?).

hello ladies.
I was wondering for those who had "bad batches"from sunshine..when did you get your sunshine? was it when she had to wait so long for her shea butter to come and did a video about it?
on my end, I just finished njoi creations nourishing pomade. It is nice but not a repurchase.
I am focusing on using up her coconut cream hairdressing and monoi pomade as body butters. I love using hair butters as body butters

My quecraft hair toys slide out of my hair. They are just not functional for me.

^^^ aaaww. Mine has a tendency to do that also, unless I like hook them just right. I thought that was just a part of the learning curve, no?

Maybe it is. I guess I will keep practicing.

Yes when she did the promotion for the cutie juice.

hello ladies. im really failing my diet lol.
anyway i really want to figure out how to get second day hair. i know i wont be able to get it tomorrow because my hair is sooooo dry right now so im gonna moisture it down. but tomorrow i think for my w&g im gonna use kbb hair milk and la bella gel and hope to achieve second day hair since the gel has a hold of 7.

know what i noticed??? im sad to say i have been feeling the be curly so much that i have been using it more than my kbb hair milk. well at least i know if push comes to shove i have a replacement.

 

[Day36]

uh, ladies can you answer my questions about the natural products to make a thick dc and the sleeping messing up the pattern ^^^^^^ pleeease? lol

 

[IDareT'sHair]

and the sleeping messing up the pattern ^^^^^^ pleeease? lol

Ever tried a Pretty Wrap?

Not much help on the Conditioner making....

 

[Day36]

lol. no, I was scuured to try a pretty wrap because dont they tend to get raggedy? Also, it's only on the side on which I sleep, would a pretty wrap even help that? lol. and thanks for answering. lol@ your conditioner response

 

[chebaby]

uh, ladies can you answer my questions about the natural products to make a thick dc and the sleeping messing up the pattern ^^^^^^ pleeease? lol

you can use an avocado, coconut milk, bananas (but make sure you have a good blender lol), and the easiest thing is to just melt some butters(shea, olive, avocado) and mix it with oils and use as a pre poo. you can also use mayo and eggs for protein. some people use yogurt but thats not something i would use so i cant tell you about that first hand. i think it loosens the hair.

as far as the sleeping, are you saying its messing up your pattern for the next day or its changing your texture completely the more you sleep on that side?

 

[Day36]

no no, just for the next day che. like my pattern on my right side are all like popping; but, the ones are the left look all sad by like the 2nd/3rd day. lol. and thanks for answering love! I am def gonna try your above concoction

 

[mkd]

Have you considered by a natural base Day? I think BM bought hers from camdengrey.com You could add butters and other ingredients to it.

 

[mkd]

Che, I could get second day WNG hair with KCCC if I spritz with water. I don't wear my hair down after the first day though.

 

[Day36]

I've thought of a natural base, but I was trying to buy more things locally, ya know? I think if my concoctions dont work out, Im going to bite the bullet and try one too from http://www.organic-creations.com/servlet/the-1610/organic-oils-hair-conditioner/Detail what do you ingredient ladies think of this one?

 

[mkd]

^^ that sounds really nice.

really?? thats good to know. i think people get second day hair with something that has a ton of hold on the first day. thats why i assume the kccc works. i cant wait to try it. the 8oz jar looks so tiny compared to the regular jar. it looks less than half the size.

what exactly are you going to use for your mix?

i love mixing an avocado with evoo, and honey. you can use other oils but i keep it simple most times. but i use most of my mixes on dry hair for a pre poo. when i used it on wet hair it made my hair hard
but my fave thing is coconut milk, honey and oils. the only thing with that is coconut milk isnt that thick. but it is amazing. when i was transitioning i use to use coconut milk by itself on dry hair and my hair was always sooooo soft. i need to by another can.

 

[robot.]

i got a whole week of hair with the kccc. the hold and curls were great, but i used way too much product and it made me look like i had jherri curl juice in my hair.

it also feels really weird when i'm putting it in.

 

[chebaby]

DAy, i just looked at that link. if you get the base and you still want to add something to it, just add something simple like melted shea butter, evoo and coconut oil.

 

[Day36]

I wanted to use coconut cream, avocado, honey, jbco, and olive oil and see how my hair reacted to it. Also, reason I wanted to make sure it stood by itself as a DC is because if I clarify, I need it to moisturize me! lol

thats one of the reasons i hated it when i had a twa. i hope i dont look like that now.
it does have a weird texture. qhemet gel kinda feels weird too. you know how if you rub water in between your fingers it feel rough? thats how the qhemet gel feels to me. but kccc is just like smell good snot

 

[Day36]

Thanks for the suggestions Che!

@ Robot, why'd I think of Souuulglooooo?! lmfao


Oh, and since I'm transitioning, I need something tick! (the Jamaican in me is coming out. lol)

 

[chebaby]

i dont care really if the kccc makes me look like i have a jerry juice lol. theres already a guy here who believes i have a "curl" anyway lol.

 

[chebaby]

no problem. i hope you love whatever you make.
you actually just inspired me to start making pre poos again. i stopped and now my oils are just sitting there

i've been playing around this week to see if i can find a good amount. so far, all i've learned is that i'll need a defuser or microfiber towel. i applied the cc today and then let the shower run over my hair really quickly. i love how that turned out - no extra globs of gel and defined curls that aren't crunchy at all.

only thing was i was so scared to touch my hair and disturb anything, i think i drip-dried for maybe two hours. and i have a tiiiiny twa, so that's clearly not going to work every day! especially when my hair gets longer. so instead of washing tomorrow morning in the shower, i'll see if i can revive with some some spritz of water. i did it before, so hey, i should be able to do it again.

and the kc is so weird... when i cowash, my hair feels so soft (once i rinse and there's nothing on it). then i add the kt and cc, and my hair feels... raw. like there's nothing on it but doesn't feel soft at all. i wonder what gives with that. it even feels a bit rough!

 

[Day36]

Che, you dont dc @ all? or prefer to use already made products for that?

 

[chebaby]

Che, you dont dc @ all? or prefer to use already made products for that?

on wet hair i use already made products. for deep conditioning i usually use oyin honey hemp, giovanni protein, or kbb ll hair mask.

but i find the more i pre poo and use a good shampoo i can get away with doing a quick five minute in shower conditioning. sometimes i do and sometimes i actually do get out and deep condition with heat. i dont feel its necessary though if you do a great hour long pre poo.
