Yes LC, PLEASE don't relax. That has been my biggest regret, after being natural for almost 7 years I went and relaxed and I regretted it within 2 weeks and did my third BC 3 months after the relaxer. Get you a pretty half wig or something to take your mind off your hair sometimes.

Yup:yep:

That's a Great Diversion:look:
 
i have to agree with lamara. i never want to relax but sometimes i do need a break from my hair so i just do twists. i have even been thinking of cornrowing my hair and getting a wig or getting crochet braid. now that i realized they havent gone outta style:spinning:
 
i think im going to have to ditch the qhemet amla pomade. i think im having some sort of reaction to it. i put some on my scalp on monday night and the next day i had a nast greasy buikd up on the front of my scalp. i didnt pay it any attention, just thought i put too much(even though deep down i know i didnt because i hate putting stuff on my scalp). today my scalp is very very soar to the touch and when i scratched it there was build up under my nails.
this is why i hate putting stuff on my scalp. i usually dont but every once in a while i do so that i can feel like im taking care of it. i think i just need to leave my scalp alone lol. if i put anything else on my scalp it'll just be coconut oil and thatll probably only be once a week or once every two weeks.
 
Whoa! Don't use this anymore. Put it in a box and send it to me LOL jk
Seriously though please don't use it anymore

:look:Pssst......Hey Ya'll......Don't Forget to continue to VOTE for RedC!:grin:

The Last Day is tommorrow...........:yep:

We Gotta Do Our Best to Get her to Da' Big Apple!:lick:
 
i want to make love to my denman.

it's that serious. :love:

i bought one when i first BC'ed and returned it a week later. i used it once on dry hair and was like, "this thing sucks." :lol: well, i repurchased on a whim yesterday and used it this morning and i am in love!

i shampooed with a sample of something i got from lush... i wasn't sure i would like it but it was very gentle and didn't strip! :up: then followed up with my honey hemp.

once i hopped out the shower, i parted thick, 1-inch sections and slapped in some kccc and then brushed it through with my denman... my curls look :lick:! they are so JUICY, i wish i could eat one. :lachen: and it only took 15-20 minutes! shingling (and not the lazy shingling that i do) can take me up to an hour and my results never look this good.

i'm still drying, but today is most definitely a GOOD HAIR DAY! :grin:

I think I may revist my Denman. I plan on cutting out some of the teeth to aid in getting rid of my shed hairs. I really think shed hairs tangling and knotting up with other hairs can be a setback for Naturals.

I take 1 hour to just detangle my hair every week. I try to get every shed hair out of my hair which is 350-700 hairs after a week. I think that is why my hair has progressed so much.

agreed. i never (as in literally, never) detangle my hair other than ripping through it with my fingers. :nono:

i know it's much easier for me because of how short my hair is, but my denman was very gentle and i could get it through my hair without any snags in about two passes, and i didn't start from the bottom either. :look:

def give it another shot.
 
I finished an Amala Cream Rinse yesterday. I've got like 3-4 more in stock :look:. Next week I think I will finish a sunshine and claudie's moisturizing conditioner. I'm good on sunshine right now and I will get more Claudie's when I do my June restock.

Yesterday I got my gleau oil. Today I got my two sunshine samples. I like it so far looking at it and testing with my fingers. Whipped and creamy vs just creamy (original sunshine).
 
My pony is going well. Im going to change the position one last time today and then i will wash my hair tommorrow. Im surprised that my hair is not matted but ive been on my moisture. I also need to invest in a bottle for my oil to get to my scalp without having to part my hair. Im really liking my green tea butter but im scared to get comfortable. We will see.
 
Evening Ladies!:wave:

Wrote out my Regi for Saturday a.m. (looks pretty good too:look:).

It will be my Last Wash-Day until April 2nd when I get my Relaxer. I will Clarify and do a Protein Treatment.:yep: (Can you believe it's almost April:nono:)

Will try to use up something during the Co-Wash. Worst case: I will use up a couple vials of something. i.e. Deep Fuel, Ceramides, CoQ10 etc...little stuff.:ohwell:

I do have: Joico(the pump Fab sent me), Keratase, L'Oreal, and Sexy Healthy Pumpkin in my Current DC Rotation (since they're all open). Been workin' that Joico Moisture Recovery....for the past 2-3 DC'ers, it's nice....:grin:

I wanna use up somethin'.:perplexed
 
Ya'll......I think I'm doing pretty good using stuff up.

I have given away a few items, but all in all Project Use It Up is working out pretty good.

So....I think by June, I will really hit my stride.:drunk: That is, if I Quit Finding "Stuff" on top of stuff on top of stuff.....:rolleyes:

I know I said March, And I have used up quite a bit of stuff,:yep: but I think June and this twice a Week Summa' Co-Wash will put me closer to my goals. By 12.31.10 I should be real good.:look:

*but don't hold your breath ya'll*:blush:

It is all about making a good faith effort, T. Even if you stumble, just the fact that you are trying is enough for us. :yep:
 
well i think since yall brought it up(robot and Charz) i will detangle with my denman this weekend. my denman is gentle too but it flatens my curls a lot which is why i stopped using it. however i have noticed that my hair is harder to detangle now so maybe i need to go back to using it once every 2 weeks.

Now is Dustin Rhodes Dusty Rhodes son? I grew up on wrestling :yep:. Now why do my stepfather and stepbrother still think its real, ya'll? They will argue with you too :lachen:. The best ever was when my mom told me that my stepfather really believed Vince McMahon was dead (I think that's right). Maybe its because they from Georgia :look:.
 
i can't find the shampoo on the lush site and the girl didn't put a sticker on my sample, either.

eta: nvm, i think i found it.
 
Vince stays coming up with crazy ideas!!!!!!!

I cant wait to use my steamer tomorrow!!!!!!

LOL *so protective*

Chebaby, is your hair fine? I find when I use a lot of leave-in when using the denman my curls are flaten too. So if I remember I use the brush before I put my leave-in, oils on.
