I forgot to update on vitacost, i received my replacement package and the product was the same, so they will issue me a refund. I was satisfied at the attention and customer service so i will purchase from them again. I also found my shave cream at the grocery store so that is a plus.

no, honey water is a body spray i think. so its just the sprayerplexed.

Hey Hair Divas!

Evening. Hope all is well. I got my 32 ounce Bottle of Oyin HH in the mail today.

So let the Summa' Cowashing Begin! I am set for that.

I think when the warmer weather sets in good, this will be perfect. That & my HV Conditioners.

I gotta wean myself off those Cleansing Conditioners tho'.

Those are NICE.

Hmp. I don't want NUNNA that. ....

And Imma pass on the Frank's, Greg's and J&B in lieu of my HTN Follicle Booster. I have some other spritzes and sprays here too.

I've had all 3 before and either gave them away or sold them. I won't get those.

i still dont know what i will do with my hair this summer. i am loving my braid outs and that seems like the easiest to just continue with them. but i also miss co washing several times a week.

maybe ill just cut of shampoo and still do my braid outs. that way i can just co wash and braid out.

Yep, that's your answer right there. Just co-wash at night, put in some big braids, wake up, unravel and go. I didn't realize how simple it was till I actually started doing it twice a week. I used to think it'd be a lot of manipulation, but it really takes no time.

i think thats what i will be doing. like you said it really takes no time. i only do eight braids so that like 10 minutes and im done.
ETA: my braid out is still going strong and im loving it more and more each day. if i can get it to last until saturday then im good.

@Priss Pot @chebaby

So after you unbraid it in the mornings do you spritz it, put lotion on it or Oil or nothing?

Or is all the M&S'ing done during the braiding process?

mine is all done during the braiding. i try not to have to moisturize at all during the week. when i used just HH conditioner as my leave in i had to moisturize during the week. but using the dew to braid i havent had to moisturize at all. its very low manipulation

 

[chebaby]

i cant wait to use my kbb hair cream(i have that thang waiting until the summer )
my ends will be in heaven, because i think i will mostly use it on my ends. i remember it also gives amazing shine.

If I pack on the oil/butter when braiding damp/wet hair then my hair will take forever to dry. With my braidouts as of late (with the exception of the one I did 2 days ago) I just applied KCKT and only sealed the very ends of my hair. When taking out my braids in the morning, I emulsify a tad bit of shea butter in my hands and just smooth it on my hair.

I basically do what she's doing:

My hair isn't as long as hers, so I don't use as much shea butter. But the feeling I get after smoothing it on my hair is oh so nice.

Interesting.....For all you that do Braid-Outs. That's Nice.

I like the look at 2-3 day old Braid Out Hurr (Bed Head)

I think I like it a little more "Fluffy" /WILD and Less Defined.

@Priss Pot thanks for posting that Video.

 

[Priss Pot]

T, the less product you use the fluffer the braidout will be. When I don't put an oil/butter on the entire length of the hair while wet, I get bigger, fluffier hair. But if I do put it on the entire length (as I did with the castor oil the other day), I get more defined, structured hair that I have to pull apart and manipulate more to make it bigger.

it does look like bed head doesnt it.
i was trying to get fluffy hair on day one but with this last braid out i realized that letting it get big as the days go on is much better.

how long does your braid outs last?
i noticed that with my first and second braid out it was fluffy from day one but only lasted 3-4 days. this one was flat the first day and has gotten bigger each day because of my pineapple and the wind so i think it can last 5-6 days.
i normally slather my hair in a leave in and then braid with a styler and then try not to moisturize again.

So the Sponge-Bob Bikini Bottom Pineapple (at the top) Gives you a Fuller more Volumized Look?????

In the past when doing twist/braid outs, I always end up having to detangle and rebraid/twist my hair mid-week. My hair tangles so easily. I wish I were able to go a full 5-6 days with only doing a pineapple and not having tangles. Grabbing sections and re-braiding every other night works for me, while detangling mid-week. Before, when washing only once a week, I'd apply a liquid/cream moisturizer to dry hair mid-week and comb to remove tangles and re-braid. Now, I just co-wash mid week, detangle in the shower w/ the big rake comb, then re-braid.

You just don't know. I could literally unravel a fresh braidout right now...sit here in this one spot for like 3 days and NOT move...just sit here staring at the computer, and somehow miraculously, my hair would find a way to tangle. It's like some jedi supernatural force or something.

yes it does. i thought it would stretch it out and make it flat but it doesnt. when i take off the hair band i just shake my hair and it falls into place.
i wonder if i can do that with a w&g. probably not without having to spritz it with water first

lmao thats funny.
i think my hair doesnt tangle much because its so thin i wish it were thicker. my hair is like those pillows that look full and thick but when you lay on it it flattens out so easily like theres no feathers in it it looks thick but its not.

but i hear ya. you gotta do whats good for your hair(detangling mid week). i used to detangle daily when i co washed daily glad i finally learned how to get multiple day hair. now i cant imagine me co washing daily and i used to love it.

 

[Priss Pot]

KBB Hair Milk (original formula) used to be the bomb for that mid-week detangle session. The Dew is good too; I used that all winter for the mid-week detangling since I mainly wore twist-outs.

Oh, and since I've been back to my regular workout routine, I've had to try and find a way to keep my hair from poofing up. My head sweats up a storm, and I hate to ruin a perfectly good braid-out. I pineapple my hair when working out, and putting one of these things on until your hair dries from the sweat, keeps things pretty smooth. I was surprised it worked.

 

[mkd]

I don't think I like oyin shine and define. i think its what caused my hair to feel like straw last week. I used it on my daughter's hair sunday and her is soooo dry today. I am pretty disappointed. I think I am going to get another bee mine curly butter. that works well for me.

when i first used it about a year or so ago i didnt like it either. it made my hair dry and dull looking. i didnt see the shine in shine and define. so i would use it along with the whipped pudding for my twists once in a blue moon but then the two of them together can be heavy. i did not like it at all.
but for some reason now my hair loves it. it could be the dew because i used it on top of the dew. or maybe my hair has changed. i dont know but its funny how things can once work and then not, and the other way around.

 

[mkd]

I used it on top of dew chebaby at first I thought it was nice but then 2 days later, it was crunchy as heyall. Donna marie dream curl cream did that to my hair too. I wonder what ingredient does that.

hmmm thats strange. when it wasnt working for me i thought it was the flax seeds but i dont think thats in the donna marie cream though. i do know that most of donna marie stuff doesnt work for me. the only thing i somewhat liked was the coco hemp butter milk. and i have the super butter cream that i cant wait to try since i never tried the last jar. i hope i like it because so far i feel about her line.
but maybe its the flax seed gel, i know thats the new it thing as far as gels go.

Maybe it is the flax seed. I thought maybe the honey but the ohm pudding has honey and my hair loves it.
