I finished up a bottle of KBB hair nectar in pomagrante guave scent. Only 50-11 more open bottles to finish.

I'm not sure how I feel about my hair. In one respect its really cute-nicely defined, each curl separated, and a combo of my natural curl & the twist out pattern. On the other hand-I'm scared it looks like wet dog or a jheri curl. I pulled my bangs back and it helps it look better but I'm still a lil unsure.
 
Just finished washing my hair and now im dcing. my homemade shampoo is a keeper. It cleans my hair and makes it soft. Also wdt is a keeper it just soaks in my hair and doesn't sit on top. I love my cj but im using way too much. My bottle is half gone already and that won't do. I will figure out something before october. So far here is what im sticking with for fall and winter.

poo- homemade
dc- wdt
sealant- bsp
leave in-?
conditioner-?
moisturizer-? it maybe just water, haven't decided yet.

Your hair does not look like a wet dog. A wet dogs hair is sticking to its body and stankin:lachen:. Your hair is beautiful vonnie, remember that.:yep:

La, what's in your homemade shampoo?
Click to expand...

I eyeball it but about 2 tablespoons of suave tropical coconut shampoo, about 1 table spoon of shea oil, 7oz of warm spring water and 8-10 drops of tea tree oil. I put it all in a container and shake it up. I use the whole thing on my hair. It feels a little funny when i put it on but when i rinse it my hair feels soft and clean like my hair. Not coated or waxy feeling.

Are all the larger products sold out? That is the only one i want to try and im not paying $4 something for 2 oz when i can get the larger size for a few dollars more. I mean why even keep having the sale if no one can take advantage of it.:look:
Click to expand...

The Only thing I looked at were the Full Sizes.:ohwell:

I managed to get 1 of the 8 ounce Restorative DC"ers last week. I had the Jojoba Conditioner in my cart, but I don't need it.:nono:

And I have the Buttercream Leave-In that got good YT reviews, but I haven't purchased.:ohwell:

I think the Shipping is a little high.:perplexed I'll look at the Sealant another time.

I usually just watch anyone that comes up when I search. I don't really remember who I liked. Don't disregard some of the "shabbier" looking ones because I've found some great info from them as well.

Girl, I learned my Lesson on this one the hard way.:rolleyes:

I'm glad I finally managed to overcome that. It drives you 'batty':headspin:

It takes focus & determination to stick to only those things that are open.:look:

btw: Your Hair looks Very Nice.:heart:

No, but my one friend who introduced me to LHCF (and has recently joined) she makes & loves it.:grin:

I don't think she comes in our thread tho'.:ohwell:

I think we are too intense for her.........:blush:

*too many products*:lachen:

eta: i ain't mixin' nothin'
 
I may try it, using my he leave in instead of kknt. I don't mind a little mixing but i don't want to have to make all my products every week.
 
Vonnie, I know you have told me this before, but do you do flat twists? How many twists do you make? Che and Fab and anyone else who twists too?
 
Oh Well Ladies... I just put in a little HV Whipped Ends and tied my hair down with a Silk Scarf.:ohwell:

Nothing much going on....on my end.:perplexed *well...at least i haven't bought anything outta sheer & utter boredom*:look:

It's kinda 'cool' here today low 70's. I think it was like 97-98 just yesterday (so now today it feels cold). :freezing:

Anyway, I think I'll use up 1 or 2 things next wash day. I may do my Henna early next week since I am on vacay and can spend all day on it.:rolleyes:
 
I e-mailed Afroveda & Mozeke to ask if they plan to have L.Day Sales....:look:

*i know. sad. don't judge me*:nono: :lachen:

Actually, it's working out pretty good for me (so far). I bought exactly what I wanted (thought I needed). No 'real' implusive purchases.:perplexed

Although my HV Cart keeps growing.....:blush:

That Haul will all depend of what she's offering....:look:
 
Well I decided to go to New Orleans for the weekend since i dont stay to far (Biloxi). While i was out shopping at Target i decided to pick up a bottle of Shea Moisture Deep Treatment Masque and 2 bottle of KCKT. Right now im under a dryer with the Deep Treatment mask on.. It doesnt have alot of slip but i hope the outcome is great.

I tried it again a few weeks ago. I did 2 rows since my head is small especially at nape. I think 12-15 total. It came out decent. Didn't last as long as my other twist outs even retwisting at night. I couldn't get the spiral pattern I got the first time. I'll try it again in a month or so.
 
Hi MKD...
I just favorited some videos.. we must've been thinking along together.. you doing braids and me doing twists.. well the braid outs sound easier because people seem to only do 4 or 6.. that's what was gonna try... but these are my fave twist out tuts...

My hairdresser Rachel's (Flat twist technique) MKD you should try her one time!!!

hi ladies, i know no one is up lol.
today i purchased aveda be curly curling lotion. i never purchased it before because i could never figure out the difference between it and the curl enhancer. i used a little bit of it on a section of wet hair and it dried really really doft and elongated. so it seems much different so far. the curl enhancer leave behind a tiny crunch and it shrinks my hair. but you only get 3 something ounces with the lotion. that sucks.
tomorrow i have to go out early so i will co wash with trader joes tea tree(should finish it off) and then do a front puff with the be curly lotion. a front puff is where the puff sits so far up front that it looks like bangs. i love doing that.

when i come home i will slather my hair in mhc olive you deep conditioner for an hour while i clean. i might not shampoo, i might just rinse it out. then i will twist using kbb milk as a leave in and ori organics mango curler and ori organics curl styling butter to twist. i will leave the twist in for maybe 3 days before i do a twist out.

Thank you Fab!!! I will be watching these videos either at the kids naptime or tonight after they go to bed!
 
Hey ladies, not up to much today. I need to go get a little spray bottle to make my leave in up for the week. I think it will be ok for a week at a time without preservatives. My hair feels pretty good today. I used cold water to seal as a final step after rinsing my dc. Im thinking of going into mini braid mode for the fall winter and redo my hair every two weeks. I won't do them really tiny but smaller than i have been. I may do some today since my hair is stretched already.

So will you just re-braid every two weeks or does also include washing & dc-ing every two weeks as well?
 
Afternoon Ladies:

It's my day to sit here in my Snuggie! Yeah....I pulled it right on out. :blush: It feels "Fallish" Here today. It's sunny & warm but it has that Fall-Feel.:spinning:

I may even put on a pot of tea.:lick:

I did get an answer from Mozeke and she won't be having her Sale until October.:ohwell:

I rubbed on some Claudie Scalp Exlir today. And I am so happy that I will be wig-less for the week. YAY!:grin:

I may pick up another jar of Ends Insurance #1 from Claudie since she's having 20% off tomorrow & Tuesday. Prolly nothing else tho'.:nono:
