mkd we always feel this way around the same time. i felt this way today too. i just didnt put it in my earlier post. but im tired of my thin spot, tired of the damage in that same area and the fact that it waves when the rest of my hair curls. its frustrating. which is why im just going to keep it twisted.
if i can get an opening i may even get a weave during the winter

i hope you find a style/cut you fall in love with

I feel you pain about the damaged area. I have one in the front and then and damaged it again by accident when I straightened in Feb. It doesn't help that my hair is thin and wavy naturally in the front already.

When I rinsed out my hair the first inch of hair from my hair line going toward the crown was straight with a slight curl at the end. I was so frustrated that I just put some big chunky twists for a twist out hoping to hide it that way. Not the way I expected to bring in my Anniversary

 

[mkd]

im so tempted to twist my hair tonight but i really want to deep condition before i twist and i no that aint gonna happen lol. i had school and had to rush to work for a meeting today. i do not feel like doing hair.

Che, I want to do something with my hair today too. It is really looking a shi**y HAM today. But I think I am just wait until friday.

I am thinking about trying porosity control this weekend too. I may try that first and see if I still want to try the aphogee.

I liked the way my hair looked when I used PC esp when I would wear WnGs. I don't know if it "coated" my hair or just changing the porosity helped to define the curls so much better. I got tired of the extra step and after a while of wearing only twists I didn't feel the need to repurchase.

Think I'll try a ACV rinse this weekend and see if that helps if not I'll go pick up another bottle of PC.

Some time I wonder if the damage is really at the follicle from getting relaxers and burning in the front. Over the course of the year I have pretty much cut out all of the initial damage and even the hair that has grown since Feb doesn't curl. So I'm really starting to thing its damage from relaxerserplexed

Let us know how it turns out.

*tempted to run to Sally's & rewash with PC*

I have the PC 'Poo (haven't tried it), but I love the PC and the Roux Mendex.

thats what i think about my hair too. i never had scalp burns or anything but i transitioned for 11 months. when i cut off all my hair it took an additional four months for the hair in that area to even wave up. it was bone strait for all that time like a fresh relaxer. now the very front curls really loose but some areas are still waves and straight at the ends

i dont know which PC i haveerplexed. i had it for at least 2 years and used it once lmao.

Hey ladies... Well i found out the wrong way that my hair hates aloe vera gel. My hair was crispy and tangle up. I have to up my co wash game for the rest of the week to get the moisture back...

I use up a few products today..
Curls Cream Shampoo: Hate it
Curls Sublime Coconut Conditioner: 14oz i love it.. Have a 32 bottle left
TW Protective Mist Bodifer: Have one more bottle left
Beemine Deja Milk: Use up one and have one left
Qhemet Biologic Burdock Root Butter Creaam: I love it and will reorder

 

[chebaby]

ok i decided that i will use a mix of afroveda hemp seed butter and miss jessies curly pudding together for my twists tonight. i love miss jessies and i cant wait to see how my twists turn out. im actually excited to have my twists back. its going to feel good on the weekends to not have to worry about if the sun will eat my hair up that day

i will be using oyin juices and berries as a daily spray before i hop in the shower. i hope the hemp butter and curly pudding allow the twists to stay for a long time without becoming frizz city.

****Waiting on the 4th of July Sales******

btw: I'm on vacay July 2nd -- 12th so I hope some of ya'll will be around to keep me company!

I didnt really like the target version for some strange reason. I may have to try it again. I left the bottle over my mother in law house. That conditioner melt my tangles as soon as i apply.

Have anyone tried the Beeutiful Deep Conditioner (BeeMine)?

 

[Loves Harmony]

Im in need of some Qhemet Biologic Burdock Root butter cream...

Vonnie, I am getting a bottle on friday before I wash. I use ACV once a week but I just switched to Braggs unfiltered and I honestly think this is what has my hair feeling awful. My daughter's hair is looking a bit off too.

 

[chebaby]

i forgot i have a sample jar of bee mine curly butter. i will use that up in condition with curly pudding next time i do my hair.

I have the one with the "mother"/unfiltered. I used the regular one but I was transitioning at the time and don't know if I saw much of a difference. I know sometime if you use too much (proportions of water/ACV are off) then it can be too acidifying.

I'll see how these twists turn out tomorrow. If it looks a H*M then I'll pick up a bottle of PC.

I'm going to a Philly LHCF Meet up tomorrow night

I want this


Butter Bar Conditioner Shampoo Bar

We have received so many requests for an extra moisturizing shampoo—so here it is. With double the extra oils and butters of even our soap bars, it is a buttery lotion bar hair conditioner and shampoo combined into one super moisturizing bar. Nourishing unrefined cocoa, shea, and mango butters make up the bulk of this recipe. There’s no denying the natural scent of unrefined cocoa butter! These butters are concentrated, protective emollients that penetrate and provide deep nourishment for the hair shaft as well as moisture and protection against dryness and brittleness. They are particularly beneficial for processed and heat-treated hair. The addition of coconut milk adds another layer of deep conditioning and imparts silkiness and shine to your hair. The lather is rich and creamy.




Ingredients: Saponified oils of unrefined cocoa butter, unrefined shea butter, safflower, babassu; coconut, mango butter, and castor bean; organic coconut milk; filtered rain water; and rosemary oil extract.

My bad JJ. I forgot all about it until I read a PM just before I posted. Definitely let you know in the future.

Glad you had a good salon visit. How short did you cut it?
