Mkd, I have boring back of head or on top buns. I'm only sl that it for me. I bet if you find protective and bun thread here you will find alot. I loved Tiffer and Dlewis buns they are very creative. With all that long beautiful hair you will be turing them out.

Robot, I have not used the knot today but I agree with you that kinky curly products do not seem to be moisturizing at all! I have to layer moisture products underneath or my hair is like dry straw.

 

[redecouvert]

thank you for the answers...gasp i also purchase the scented sunshine around that time.let's hope for the best
I am using up njoi creations monoi de tahiti pomade as a body butter. I should be done with it in 2-3 weeks

ITA with KCCC for WnG. I get great definition with KBB underneath but the KCCC and even the Ecostyler leaves my hair dry.

Today I tried KBB with VF and HV Whipped Gelly. My hair is drying pretty fast but I'm not sure about the moisture factor until its completely dry. Though I find if my hair is too moist then I don't get the definition I like. I guess I have to trade one for the other. Defined hair or moisturized hair.

Do you have to rewet everyday, what are you using to moisturize? I try to use it at night but it dries up and I rewet but don't get the defintion. I ordered some kccc and knt so I'll see.

 

[robot.]

so, sunshine sent me another email today.

she overnighted the replacement products to me and said she would like me to accept a refund in addition to the store credit! she would like for me to offer my opinions on the new products. she says she's not quite happy with the consistency and wants to continue working on it before she opens her shop. if i don't like the new products, please send them back and she will pay the return shipping. she also said when she is finished, she will send me ANOTHER jar of sunshine to review.

that's what i'm talking about!

eta: just opened my package. she upgraded one of my small sunshines to a bigger size and included a sample of a new scent.

Ltown, I use it last night and this morning, I spritzed it liberally with water and its fine. I used a little too much so its kind of jeri curlish today erplexed

Just finished mixing up my butters (I plan to give one to a friend)

Ilipe Butter
kukui Butter
Shea Butter
Mango Butter
EVOO
EVCO
Jojoba butter & oil
Sweet Almond Oil
Vitamin E
Fragrance Oil-Cherry & Coconut

I like this batch the best as far as consistency. I whipped it up good. I found another in the deep freezer when I went to add the 2 of the 3.5 new ones. This combo is similar to another I made and is great for skin and hair.

Depending on how the first day hair turned out determines how I restyle each day after. When i get the definition I want the 1st day then the subsequent days (no more than 4 or I'm to tangled) i just let the mist from the shower refreshen it. If the curls are too flat from sleeping then I'll let the water run through my hair quickly and add a lil more product (if needed).

I have a pic in my Fotki Jan-March album that shows a 3 or 4 day old WnG that all I did was refresh with a lil water once. HTH!

Thanks Vonnie. Checking out your fotki.

 

[mkd]

Vonnie, your hair is pretty!

Your curlformers set is nice!

 

[chebaby]

sigh.....now that its hot my hair dries out more than when it was freezing. i used my kbb hair milk today and my hair is not as soft as it normally is. i think because i was sitting out in the sun.
at least now i get to start using my kbb hair cream again yaaaayyyy!!! i love that stuff. infact im gonna do a wash and go with it tomorrow. ofcourse im going to use the kbb hair milk under it.

let me tell yall what i now HATE. that darn AO rose masquite. ok the bottle was already half gone so i said let me finish it. plus its for color treated hair. ummmm no!. as soon as i put it on my hair it LOCKED up. for real. i almost had a fit. i had to then slather my hair in garnier moisture works conditioner and detangle each side twice. never again.

That sounds really good, yesterday i made a hair butter that actually turned into a whipped heavy cream. I used:

jojoba butter
avocado butter
olive butter
shea oil
jbco
vit e oil
ylang ylang and vanilla essential oils.

 

[chebaby]

yall butters sound so yummy.

 

[BostonMaria]

Hey ladies
Its finally feeling like spring around here. I co-washed this morning and squeezed the last ounce of KBB hair milk out of the bottle. I used my daughter's Sammy curls gel (cheap stuff I got at the dollar store) and my ponytail looks nice and curly. I don't know if its the cheap gel or KBB.

 

[Day36]

La and Vonnie, I's a loving all these butter mixes. I loooove it. They sound so damn yummy. Keep 'em coming.

I will, im making my own moisturizer from now on, i know what's going in it and i can put it in my hair without having to worry. If its not a natural butter or i don't make it, its not going in my hair..

Vonnie, awesome fortki and the WnG looks great.

tomorrow im going to have to do my hair a little earlier because i want to shampoo. maybe thats why my hair seems to be acting up, or maybe it was the AO RM, idk. anyway im going to shampoo with a mix of CURLS clarifying shampoo and black soap. then i will do a 10 minute conditioning with AO blue camomile. im going to throw out the AO RM. i just refuse to use that conditioner again.
i can wait to do my w&g tomorrow with kbb milk and cream. i missed that stuff.

i forgot to tell yall that my hair has gotten so big. it really poofs out. so anyway yesterday i wore my hair parted down the middle and big on the sides. i liked it. why did this older YT lady tell me i should pull my hair back. i didnt even catch it at first. i thought she was just saying she generally likes hair pulled back because she went on to say how her friend wears her hair pulled back. but then i thought about it BEFORE THIS WEEK MY HAIR HAS ALWAYS BEEN PULLED BACK IN A PUFF. people just dont know how to keep their thoughts to themselves. when will people learn i do not care what they think about my hair. i will NOT change it for you. ever.

Ya'll Ain't Bumped this Thread???????

For Shame

Ya'll let this baby end up on page 6

 

[redecouvert]

aaaw....on my side, nothing new.
I asked darcysbotanicals when she plans on restocking the watermelon oil. I use it for the oil cleansing method and i am running low
other than that, I've come to accept that i don't have a routine/regimen
I go with the flow

 

[chebaby]

the sun is changing my hair color already. that was fast. it looks like one side of the red is getting really bright. i hope both sides ends up even lol.
anyway now that im about to hit my one year mark im getting paranoid about protective styles. i think sunday im going to put my hair back into some twist.
i know ive said it before but im also going to start braiding my hair every single night that i do a wash and go so that detangling in the morning wont be so bad. or at least put it in big twists.
tonight im braiding with sunshine. and that might be the last of that jar. but i dug my big jar out so im good on that lmao.
also i need a new satin or silk bonnet. mine is too small and the inside material is kinda rough and i dont know if thats doing any harm to my ends. i dont have many splits so i guess its not doing anything but my hair is too big for my bonnet. i want the kind thats kinda slinky in material and has like a band around the front. but i never see it in the bss. maybe sally's has it.

 

[redecouvert]

I command you chebaby for being so disciplined. See, It is only this year (this is my 4th year being natural) that I am doing somewhat protective styles...before..I was wearing it out all the time.
I want to do the same but it takes me more time in the morning to undo the flatwists, moisturize..and i'd rather use that time to get some extra sleep

i agree. i love to wear my hair out and it doesnt take long at all because you do the bulk of it in the shower. im like you, i dont want to have to undo braids or twists in the am. thats why when i do braid out the braids are always big and chunky. but when i protective style i try to keep the twists in for a week so i dont have to touch and manipulate my hair.

Good You Ladies are really Learning how to deal with your Hair and Adjust your Products, Techniques and Regimens accordingly.

That is Major! I am very proud of You All!

 

[Charz]

Any DC/MD ladies wanna order anything from Jessicurl, while I make my bulk order? Or and other ladies to? I don't know how much it will cost to ship it to yall.
