Hi Ladies!
I think I have the flu. And we are getting a ton of snow this week.
I gave away some hair stuff this weekend. The rest is going to the women's shelter.

The delusion in that thread is uncanny.
got mad at myself for even considering it and just gave it up. That was about a year ago...I should try it again.

Getting the roots straight by far. Especially with shorter pieces like baby hairs. My crown is 15 inches so it's like I have to wrap it a ton of times and my arms hurt lol.
That's awesome! I'll be 3 years in November!

I just co-washed 
I haven't done that in months. I co-washed with AO HSR (in an effort to use it up) and detangled with the Magic Star Rake. Afterwards I used Curls Milkshake as a leave-in and sealed with castor oil and some shea butter, then put my hair in a bun, while still trying to keep it as stretched as possible by twisting the ends of the hair and then wrapping it around to form the bun.
I'm not about to give up my stretched styles just yet since the weather is still cold, but it was nice to do it again. I'll go back to my usual co-wash pattern in the late spring/summer.

SimJam--I'm natural. 7 months post bc and 19 months since my last relaxer this week.
Charz--Your hair looks so beautiful. I just ain't got that type of patience. At some point I will be going to one of these natural salons in the DMV and ya'll know I will come in here and do a review.

Yea I just did it since my hair was still wet and I didn't want to get my pillow wet. It makes my roots really puffy and my hair smushes in the cap.
When I DC I do not detangle my hair. I use my leave-in to detangle. I am trying to figure out if my leave-in's should be more high quality or my DC. I might just DC with only AOHSR. It does a wonderful job, is cheap and all natural. And I might just use Qhemet Biologics leave-in's to detangle with, including the CTDG and the Moringa...hmmm

I was wondering why in hecks name u wud STYLE your hair then sleep in a plastic cap
when my hair is still wet at bedtime I just tie it down as I wud normally, then put 2 towels on my pillow.
one I wrap around it and pin with safety pins (thats the backup) and the other one I double up and place on top of the pillow. usually I the loose towel stays in place.
if ur a crazy sleeper, this may not work for u lol

Hmmm...well I normally sleep with my hair in puffs, like little kid pigtails...but I think I would mess up my hair even more if it were still wet. The cap used to work when my hair was much shorter but now...
I just need to do my hair earlier in the day lol....

SimJam, me too my hair is even wet in the am and I sleep wild.
I've used alot of leave in and have more that then DC. I've used Jasmine, SSI, Taiiajh to name a few. The one that works the best is Mane n Tail detangler.

I was gonna ask if u DC on wet or dry hair but u do both right?
was thinking abt this the other day too re: quality of DC vs leave-in, Im fine with a good performing DC, as u said one that performs to your liking with the ingredients your hair likes, and a great leave-in - since thats what, well Im going to leave in my hair (hehe Im easily amused)
a good DC should provide a sufficient base of moisture which the leave-in should boost
I use the CTDG as a leave in and also baggy with it on clean hair.

I forgot I have a jar of Qhemet CTDG in my cabinet. Back in the summer of 2009, I used that leave-in exclusively when detangling my hair for a twist-out. I've gone through 2 jars since I first tried it. Now, this is my 3rd; it's not even nearly done. I've only used about 1/4 of it probably.

Hey now!! My styles only consist of 2 strand twists and box braids, but I can only style my hair when it is wet or damp. It would laugh at me if I tried to style it when dry.
Yeah, dry since my leg is messed up. it's easier.
