Gmornin Ladies

Vonnie .... ur hair is like 3 times longer than mine and I be using the whole pack (100g) of henna each session.

Im making it too thick erplexed

Id love to conserve my henna since the one stone (that I know of) doesnt always have.

I had made some observations after my latest henna

1. I'm going to need nearly a full pack (100g) for my hair now. So my stash is not going to last as long.
2. Adding oil made my hair less dry than when its just powders.
3. I don't see a big difference using a heat cap and not.
4. I didn't see a difference in shedding after rinsing and styling (which I kinda already knew)

Even tho it tedious and time consuming I see a vast improvement in the health of my hair by henna-ing so I will keep doing it. I will henna once a month and if I can't then I'll use cassia since its not as messy without the dye.

I remember us talking about bases and I snooze on this but I think I copied something. thanks

 

[bronzebomb]

Yay! I am officially chin length! I am so excited! I think protective styles really work.

(excuse this mini rant, I had to tell someone) my friends just smile and nod

 

[natura87]

Good evening ladies! I know you are on your way to bed! Im done under the dryer....I just styled my hair with DM Curly buttermilk, coconut pomade, and curling cream...the winning combo lol...I re-detangled again with the TT bcuz I didnt want to change a thing from what I did last time to get awesome results. I have an event tomoro and I want my hair to be gorgeous! It took me 2 hours to twist my hair up! I was just so meticulous about it, I dont even have that many twists lol, prolly 16 on each side! I realize how much time Im spending doing my hair and I have decided to go ahead and protective style next week. My regular sew-in lady just had surgery and may not be able to take me, so Im calling a salon tomoro as a back-up.

Speaking of the TT....I was on CurlyNikki earlier and saw where the ladies said that in the 10-PAGE TT manual the directions says to use the tool on dry or damp hair, but not wet like I do and to brush from the roots down, not from tip to root like we do....did u guys read that? I didnt read my manual bcuz I thought it was common sense lol...but I may want to go dig it up and take a look...How are yall using yalls tangle teezer?

I prefer to use it on almost dry hair from tip to root, just out of habit.

Are there any specific oils that you recommend adding to henna or just what you have on hand at the moment?Thanks in advance

I was using Amla (that's what most people recommend) cause it makes the Stain Darker. But I ran out and never replaced, so I use what I have on hand. (and haven't seen any difference by not using Amla)

I've used: Wheat Germ, Soybean, Kukui Nut, Olive. Same great results. A Splash of Oil definitely helps the process.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Hey Ladies.....No, I won't be purchasing any bases. I will either bite the bullet and spend that 10 bucks for shipping, or I'll just chalk it up to another 'great' product being discontinued.

I don't want to do a bulk base purchase. And I'm sure I can find something I like to replace it (just won't smell as wonderful).

Just rubbed on some Hydratherma Protein L-I & a little Avsoya Oil.

T, I would buy the product too but Jasmine don't have anymore Avacodo/silk. I'm piss off about that why I didn't get the email.

 

[Shay72]

I finished my last JBCO today. I will not repurchase. I have Cocasta. I'm slowly starting to throw stuff away. I'm tired of looking at stuff I wasted my money on and know that I will never use. By the time this No Buy is up I will only be using stuff I .

WOW! I can't believe she sold out that quick!

Especially with the $10 Shipping.erplexed

I wonder why you didn't get it either Ltown? I got it yesterday evening. I can't believe it Sold out already.

But, I guess she did say "while supplies last"

Nah....Not 10% I'll pass.

Yeah, I went out on Jasmine. That was Fast for A&S

The Babbasu Xtreme is still out there.

I used my current HOT mix which is WGO, Rice bran, Hemp, EVOO. JBCO.

This was my first time. Will probably keep doing it that way powders, oil, green tea, lemon juice.

For Cassia I'll add other conditioning agents: yogurt, egg, coconut milk, oil.

Me too!! Now 25-30% I'd reach in the pocketbook.

 

[Vonnieluvs08]

No hair plans today.

I used Shea Rinse for moisture & sealed with my HOT before bed last night. Rubbed a lil JBCO and sulfur on a thin area that is more noticeable with the braids.

It's things like this that keep me from going back to relaxers. I know this area is thinner because my hairdresser would always seem to burn me there and its along my hair line which is weaker already. No shade on the relaxed people just an observation for my hair.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Vonnie: Don't forget to post your Oil in the HOT Thread.

 

[fattyfatfat]

Hey ladies. I finished a whipped pudding from oyin. It will be a repurchase, but not any time soon. I'll be 48wks post tomorrow!

 

[Vonnieluvs08]

I decided to give my self a dusting today. I was reading so threads about splits and saw a couple of fotkis mention trimming so I decided to do it again. Think I'll give myself a dusting about 1/8 of an inch per month.

Not sure when I'll go get that real cut/trim.

I've also decided to keep these braids in until March. I have a wedding on the 4th so I'll take them out then and have a serious wash day on loose hair then.

 

[La Colocha]

Hey ladies, not doing anything to my hair today. Its hard for me to get motivated to do anything at all today.

 

[Ltown]

I'm do a henna today since tomorrow I'll be getting ready for Superbowl(black/yellow)
tomorrow. I'm dc probably with sample komaza then braided up to dry, it dry faster than in a bun.

 

[Brownie518]

La, I feel the same way. I don't want to move from this couch. SO made me some soup and Im watching I, Robot. I could lounge here all day.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Hey ladies, not doing anything to my hair today. Its hard for me to get motivated to do anything at all today.

Hey Lady!

Glad you're having a 'restful' day. I've been in my Stash rearranging some things and did a quick Jasmine Inventory.

Other than that, things are slow here too. We got a little snow

Hair still feels nice from yesterday. Will pull out my Shea Butter Oil later in the week to put on my previous relaxed ends.

ETA: I'm making a pot of Tea.

 

[Brownie518]

I checked my Jasmine last night. I have 3 A&S left. Those will last me a long time.

I wont' be doing my hair until tomorrow, after the Super Bowl. Still thinking about what I'll use...

 

[La Colocha]

I need to move around because i have things to do and i sure don't want to do them tomorrow before i got to work. People are taking off the the super bowl so i know it will be a stressful night. I haven't really sat down and watched a super bowl since 20 something, its in the 40's now ain't it?. My mom used to have parties and it was a big to do now if i only go get a plate if someone is having food.

Those are Ltown's Steelers! So, I know she is Hyped!

 

[Brownie518]

It's raining/sleeting here right now. It's actually coming down pretty hard. I think we are getting yet another storm either Monday or Tuesday. I am gettin real tired of this s**t right about now.

 

[Charz]

[IDareT'sHair]

Gooo steelers!!!!! Woot!
