It was great, I'm going out with him again tonight. He's like me as a white guy. ratchet as ever. screw the opposites ish, I need someone like me.

 

[Eisani]

My favorite phrase. Any tips? What's your routine like when doing wash 'n gos and maintaining tangle-free hair? How often do you go in between styling sessions?

I have yet to master those because once I go to sleep, its usually a wrap. Where are you getting tangles, at the root or the ends? Sometimes my wash n gos last a good few days w/o tangles depending on what conditioner i use, but protein is vital. For example, I had one last a week and after pooing w/a clarifying poo, i used ssi fortifying masque (protein), detangled, rinsed and did a quick rinse with EMB. I used emb as a leave in on soaking wet hair and applied a bit of Donna Marie coco curl creme in sections. I swished my head back and forth very quickly under the water then plopped. Light, bouncy, well-defined AND tangle free all week! The thing is, its always hit or miss for me.

ETA I refuse to go beyond a few days between styling sessions unless my hair is in good shape, but i check regularly for tangles. If I feel any, Im detangling, washing and restyling. Im tenderheaded, and I want boo to be able to touch my scalp

Yeah, I can't sleep with my hair out or else it's a wrap for me too. I made that mistake on Saturday night and my ends had gotten tangled. Usually if I bun my hair (twisting my hair around itself into a bun) before bed, then it'll be okay. But constantly laying on my hair in the wash 'n go style causes tangles for me.

I was detangling with the Jumbo Rake comb whenever I co-washed. I also didn't remove any shed hairs during this time either. I attempted to in the shower once w/ a detangling comb, but the water was about to get cold so I quit.

I've also noticed that I don't dc as often as I should when on a strictly wash 'n go regimen. I just co-wash. I'm gonna up my dc-ing in the warmer months when wearing them more often.

Wow what a coincidence! I was just looking this up about tangles and wash n gos because I don't like spending the time on twists/braids, but I hate tangles, and wash n gos = shrinkage = tangles. I'm sure I could also get less tangles if I applied my product in smaller sections (I usually just do two) but I'm lazy....sigh.

i used up a jar of kbb mask today. after i rinsed out the henna today with vo5(found a bottle) i dried in a towel and went back to bed. later on i realized i still had some left in my hair so i re conditioned with kbb mask and a little pumpkin conditioner to detangle. i love the way henna makes my hair feel. like the most beautiful protein treat ever. the funny thing is i was always worried about henna loosening my hair but henna gives my hair major texture.
my wash and goes have been looking a mess lately because the front of my hair has been so stringy. but today the front of my hair was very wavy/curly like its supposed to be.
the only henna i have left is 2 boxes of jamila but i dont like jamila. plus it doesnt say BAQ on the boxes.

 

[Ltown]

I'm 3c/4a. Generally after washing I do an elastic-free bun or I twist until it dries then take them down. I wear more wash n gos during the warmer months, but I just try to stay tangle-free. Im low maintenance on the hair tip. Sorry, does that even answer your question?

Yes, appreciated! Most of products been leaving my hair crunchy or waxy.
I usually bun too, but I'm trying to catch me a man, let them see cougar with different spin

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Evening Ladies.....I got my HTN Haul today (haven't opened it yet). Just did my little HTN Regi. Will seal with HTN Oil a little later.

Looked at the BFH "Sweet Steals" had some stuff in a cart, but not really sure if I will get anything.

 

[Brownie518]

Got quiet early, huh?
Just stopping in to say Hi...about to start doing my hair right now. I'm about to check the stash, see if there's anything I can use up.

Yes, I did get a 'few' things from BFH.....

 

[chebaby]

hey B
i need to shampoo my hair tonight or tomorrow to get the red tint of my forehead lmao. i didnt even realize it was there but it looks like im glowing
if i shampoo tonight i might do a braid out.

 

[mkd]

What did you get Brownie?

Well, the diffusing is ok for me. Not something I will be doing regularly. It made my hair dry. I made an appt to get my hair cut Saturday. I am really excited.

 

[Priss Pot]

My KBB Mask from BGLH Marketplace came in today. Since I just washed/dc'd my hair yesterday, I'll try out the mask next week.

Yesterday when I dc'd after my ApHogee treatment I used SSI Banana Brulee. That conditioner is so thick. I'm realizing that I don't have to use too much or be heavy handed with it cause it seems so concentrated.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Speaking of SSI Banana Brulee, I got a nice 16 ounce Jar on a "Swap" w @Hannan
It's the Lavender one. I didn't even know BB came in Lavender?

Anyway, I may use it on Saturday. I haven't had SSI BB in a while. So, it will be a nice treat.

I'll go ahead and post my F&F Code in the Vendor thread. Doesn't seem like anyone was overly impressed. *except @Brownie518

 

[mkd]

T, I may order from BFH soon. I am not really feeling my hair right now. Maybe after I cut it I will get excited again.

@mkd

I hope you get excited again. IK it's very pretty (because Fab said so!).

So, gone girl get excited!

So, are you trimming OR...... cutting?

I'm still not sure if I'll get anything....maybe later this montherplexed

Just a coupla' cleansing conditioners maybe....

Girl.....Brownie518 will buy enough stuff for both of us ......

 

[mkd]

I m not sure yet, I think cutting back to APL.

 

[hannan]

Hi ladies

I'm going to try shampooing 2x a week and see how that works out. I shampooed with some Burt's Bees Soy blah blah something. It kinda smelled like apple juice.

I dc'ed with a sample of Komaza Intensive Moisture and that stuff is thiiiiiiick. Loved it! Glad it came in 4 oz. Can get two uses outta that thing!

Now I'm just chillin in 2 pocahantas braids with CJ smoothing lotion and grapeseed oil. Very smooth.

....I was planning to order anyway . I got the stuff I had planned to get and a couple of the deals.

I'm sitting here now with conditioner on my head. I wanted to use up this last bit of SE Mayo.I added some Methi Step 1 since the Mayo was almost done. I'll also finish an HV pH Rinse and 2 BFH conditioners - Shea Mango and Shea Almond. I gave my sister a Shea Mango and a Shea Almond conditioner, plus some Moist 24/7.

I just opened package that the KBB mask came in and like half of it spilled out inside the mailing envelope! grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! The lid was busted. I salvaged what I could and put the remainder in an empty jar. I knew something was wrong when I went to open the package and it was a lil bit too easy to open. The spilled conditioner had softened the adhesive on the package, so I was able to just peel it open.

 

[Brownie518]

So I ended up finishing the BFH Ginger Macadamia and Mango Macadamia. Both just had a small bit left.

Some stuff that have one use or less left:
AE Garlic Treatment
Paul Brown Hawaii Reconstructor
Shea Almond Coconut cond.
Shea Mango cond.
Claudie's Protein

I like that PB Hawaii...

 

[La Colocha]

Good morning ladies, nothing going on as usual. Using up products and getting my list ready for my haul after april 1st. I know i want to go buy something, anything. I don't need anything but yall know how it is. Compulsive shopping is therapy for the soul.

 

[natura87]

I did some flat twists last night, they turned out pretty good.So right now I am wearing flattwists with 2 strand twists. I will take these out tomorrow and try again just for practice. I've got one more use of the Giovanni Wheat poo. Initially I hated it bu I actually like it now.

 

[Shay72]

I met my mama at her job this morning to do an exchange . We're always giving each other stuff. She gave me two Starbuck gift cards and a tea strainer. I only gave her that freaking BB&B coupon. She hoards those. Anyways, why did my mama molest my hair? I had it in the two puffs. She loved it and had her hand all in my hair talking about waves, curls, and how soft it was .

Oil rinsing & steaming has made it easier to detangle my hair .
