mkd- Which size and style Sedu do you have?

I'm really leaning toward this brand for my new flat iron. I've been putting off buying a new one because I don't want to get in the habit of wearing straight hair. However I really need a trim and I can't trim on curly hair.
 
i was thinking about ordering from anita grant but i cant remember my username or password and i dont see where i can reset both.

Che you may need protein, i know using the hair nectar this time of year two years ago my hair got really mushy like wet carpet and held a lot of water. I had only used the nectar alone too, it was some good stuff.

yea i will do the treatment tonight. i used the milk alone so its not like i packed on moisture. my hair is just being a butt right now lol.
 
Well ladies the treatment helped also, just a little itch that i can rub with my fingers and relieve in the front. The back was my worst problem but it hasn't itched at all since i used the head and shoulders. Looking forward to wash day and staying on track with my scalp. I will see yall later, im going to rest before work.
 
mkd, i forgot to tell you i got the banana brulee in the mail today. thank you. i used it to deep conditioner for about 20 minutes to detangle my twist out. that stuff is sooooo moisturizing. probably why my hair is mushy lol. i know after a good protein treat i can use the BB and not have any issues.
 
Hey Ya'll...............:grin:

No, I still ain't got that stank 2 ounce replacement OR a response from my Customer Service Complaint.:ohwell: So, I guess she went on "Mute" about my particular issue.:lol:

At this point, I just want Vonnie to get some Justice.:yep:

I can 'live' w/o it, although I'm not happy how I was 'dissed'.:perplexed

Other than that, not much going on. Still using my CG Herbal Rich Hair Butter.:lick: Good Stuff.:lick:
 
T- I'm glad you posted in the O.O, thread also.

I wish i had seen that thread before I ordered. It may have changed my mind and skipped all this mess.

I wanna do something with my hair but I'm lazy and I just put these twists in.
 
And La I think you are onto something with mushy hair and KBB. Last week my hair was breaking a little and I think it was over moisturized. I have to be very consistent with my protein use.
 
Mkd- I think this is the one I was leaning toward. I'm just trying to figure out if I should wait to buy it closer to BF. I think the one i have now is 1inch and I can use it well for curls and flips. I've been reading the reviews there and here.
 
im glad you like the sweet hair pudding mkd.
i just looked at a few aphogee videos on youtube and i cant wait to get home and do my hair tonight. yes, kbb is very moisturizing, too moisturizing at times.
mkd, i think i had some breakage last week and i should have known my hair was too moisturized then but i thought it was shedding. whatever, i wont dweel on it. ill just take care of it tonight.
 
Che, I could tell mine was breakage because they were tiny pieces.

How did that banana brulee scent smell Che? Coconut and hibiscus?

oh ok maybe mine was shedding. it only happened during detangling in the shower and they were long strands.
is that what the smell was, coconut and hibiscus? i couldnt place the smell but it smelled good. i thought maybe it was sugar cookie or something. it was sweet but very light. i guess i can smell the hibiscus but not coconut. ill smell it again when i get home.
 
tonight after my treatment instead of using kbb i will be using curls milkshake. it is good at moisturizing the hair but doesnt keep my hair as soft as kbb. my hair is still very damp. and when i stick my fingers inside the puff it is wet. thats nasty lol.
im going to start doing my coconut milk and olive oil treatments again like i use to as pre poos. and i cant wait to get my kbb mask as that always kept my hair feeling strong.
 
I've learned that naturals still need protein. We are always trying to make our hair soft and moisturized but forget that we need protein as well. Protein helps to make moisturizers work better.

I try to add a lil protein to my DC to help combat mushy hair. I think several of the leave-ins I use have protein in it so I'm always getting a lil protein. But when your hair gets mushy you can't do anything with it-twists, braids and any out styles just don't work.
 
Che, I meant to mention earlier that I didn't get a shipping notice from KBB this time either. After my order was delivered, i got a confirmation from UPS.

I wonder how often naturals who need protein (like myself) can do a hard protein treatment.

:yep: i used to do protein twice a week because my hair for whatever reason holds on to moisture. it was like that when i was relaxed too. i had to use joico every week. when i became natural i was using giovanni protein and AO GPB up to twice a week. but for some reason i stopped. i dont know why. my hair started reacting to AO as moisture too. so now i have to do my first hard core protein.
 
I think I'm going to get the 1inch Sedu. They have an extra 15% off so it would only be $102 with free shipping. I'm debating if I should buy the straightening comb. I saw Nikstar use it during her straightening tutorial. They say Walmart has it by Goody for $5. I'll check that tomorrow before I buy the $15 one.

i was looking on her site and orders i made months ago still says processing :nono: so i guess it'll just show up.
i will be doing a hard core protein maybe once every 2 months. in between i will pre poo with ORS mayo, go back to pre pooing with coconut milk and evoo mix, continue to use AO GPB even though my hair responds like moisture now. and i may start using aphogee 2 minute protein. i dont know why my hair needs so much protein but it does.
i also think i will go back to using giovanni direct leave in because that had a bit of protein in it.
 
Sounds like a good plan Che.

It's funny how we stop doing things that worked for our hair. I know I get easily distracted. That's why I had to henna this week. That was the changing thing when I first went natural it got my hair right. Then I stopped because it was so time consuming and i was never home.

Does tresemme naturals make a moisture and a protein conditioner?
Click to expand...
im not sure. i think most of the conditioners are for moisture. but they may have a protein line. i just started using tresseme and its ok. i think aussie moist is better for my hair.

i was thinking about doing henna but i dont know yet. i might dabble in amla since that supposed to strengthen hair. but i have to do more research on it.
 
Decided to go ahead and get the flat iron tonight. It should be here by Tues-Wed. I really need a hair cut and I'm tired of my lopsided hair. I have some heat protectant and sabino so I'll be ready when it comes. And it has heat control which is exactly what I need. I don't even wanna think about heat damage.
 
i was thinking about flat ironing my hair last week but decided against it. if ever i do decide to do it i still have my CHI and FHI from when i was relaxed. ive heard alot about sedu brand though and was checking it out back when i purchased my CHI.

tonight im going to go ahead and order some amla powder.

I like amla...just dont do it in the shower if you have a white bath tub....it stained my tub and I had to use a magic eraser to get the stains out! I learned that I am supposed to do it over the kitchen sink (stainless steel)
 
^^^^thanx girl. i would have never known about the staining.

i just finished my aphogee treatment. my hair looks great. it feels soft and strong, while i was detangling i could tell how much stronger it felt. i didnt leave it on too long, only about 10 minutes but it did the trick.
