Froreal3

I have a bunch of Oil(s) open & rationed out into 'smaller' bottles.

I always have a lot of Oils open for some reason?:look:

I'm not using any Lotions right now (more so in the Spring/Summer).

My open Cremes: Sprout, Green Magic, CCs Naturals Hibiscus.

R/O Conditioners: HH Dark Honey, DevaCurl No Poo, JC Too Shea!
 
@Golden75

By M-Day Sales, I want to have a Serious Dent in my Current Load.:drunk:

Spring/Summa' I'll have a bunch of Lotions going.

Right now, I seem to stick to a particular butter or crème until it's done.:yep:

Same here. I want to be down to 1 product in each category by then. 1 shampoo, 1 cowash, 1 moisture DC, 1 protein DC, 1 moisturizer, 1 oil, 1 butter.

IDareT'sHair - I'm hoping to get a dent in this load too, i gotta stop adding to it. I've been trying to use 1 cream/butter til gone. Took a lot of stuff off my dresser so I stop straying.
 
^^^That's exactly the key. I haven't added to it very much this month. I think I'mma be good for Feb too. I feel so excited. That's why I don't think I'm gonna commit to the C&G thing right now. I like to rake product through my hair too darn much. :lol: I ps 100% of the time in twists/braids updos. I gotta have some type of fun.

@Froreal3 What is the C&G Method?:look: I never really paid attention to it (because it's for Naturals).

IDareT'sHair - I wouldn't really say its for naturals. I basically did it while relaxed. Its just keeping hair braided up for at least 8 weeks, take down to wash condition braid back up. Wash/condition in braids alao. Keep it moisturized, use protein spritzers. Just a way to retain better. Does well for me.
 
IDareT'sHair

Keeping your hair in twists or braids with or without extensions for 4 or more weeks. You wash the hair in braids or twists with diluted cleanser and dc with a diluted conditioner and you use oil to seal in order to avoid buildup.

I wanted to be able to do it. However, it is not for me my scalp is not having that, it needs a thorough wash session in order to control my flaky scalp. I totally get where you are coming from Froreal3.

When I was on systemic medication for my skin I basically fell into crown and glory by accident because it was convenient. I tried to to do it again while on no meds and it seriously did not work out :nono:.

^^^Yeah like Golden75 said, although I've seen a lot of naturals do it. I've seen most ppl do it between 6 and 8 weeks. It's usually done with hair braided in extensions, but some ppl use their own hair. I am using my own hair and was only going to keep them in for 4 weeks at the most. This is the third week.
 
I should say, does well for me in extentions. I realized I can't do mini twists longer than 2 weeks, hair starts to mat a bit.

Yeah DoDo...my scalp is not giving me any problems because I still wash the braids every week. I also still moisturize and seal every other day and apply my sulfur oil etc. The only thing different from my normal regimen is I'm not taking down my hair and detangling every week, which is what I usually do.

I think I might take the braids out after next week. Then maybe I'll put in twists with braided roots to keep in two weeks. I think two weeks is the longest I'd want to go right now. I want to use my stuff.
 
I got a samples from a family member who works in the salon of the Devacurl No Poo and One Condition. She says if I like it she will get me the big bottles of both.


So, I will finally get to see what the hype is about for the No Poo.

:yep:

That is definitely part of it, I also need to use down this stash also. Let me know how the braided root twists work out. I have never tried that.
 
Lawd I was sweating like crazy!!! I've been pre-pooing for several hours, planned to overnight and wearing a shower cap, good grief!!! I AM HOT!!! Turned off the heat and took that thang off! My hair feels so soft! Thank you Vatika Frosting, cause I was getting worried. Hair felt so rough. Think I may have protein overload from MD Coconut Lime Repair Mask :sad:

Golden75 I have Vatika Frosting in my hair right now. Put a little KV Fenugreek in Buttercream Wedding in it. the Frosting always does my hair right.

Your hair can't take a lot of protein? Or have you been using it too much?
 
I like the "No Poo" a lot. Very Good Cleansing Conditioner.

The only other thing I've been slightly interested in from that particular line is the Heaven In Hair (or whatever that DC'er is called).

However, it gets too many mixed reviews and it isn't cheap, so I've always passed on it.:rolleyes:
 
Hey y'all! I saw target has that purification masque y'all love so much for bogo 50% and I almost got it. I may go back and get it but I'm trying not to buy too many products. I did just do a long overdue haul for silk dreams. I've been using alot of new stuff lately that just hasn't wowed me. Like that ynobe hibiscus leave in. Its ok on dry hair but if it doesn't work on wet/damp hair its going on the swap.

I'm prepooing with Sitrinillah and I could kick myself for not trying it sooner my NG was singing as I was applying it and I can't wait to see how my hair feels when I rinse it out.
 
Froreal3 - my hair is usually fine with protein, and I haven't used any recently, I don't think. I think I left this one on too long, first time using it and I didn't moisture DC after, why, I don't know. I just used SSI Avo for a few mins after. It's either the MD having my hair feeling off or the Ynobe Ayurvedic butter, used that last night. It felt a little off earlier in the week so I used CJ Rehab, things felt better, but not 100.

If you've been using a lot of Heavy-Thicker Butters/Cremes/Oils SM Purification is an excellent product remover *smells good too*:lick:

Golden75 Froreal3 DoDo

Thanks for 'schooling' me on C&G. I never really paid any attention to it.:look:

I thought it had something to do with using 'certain' products or not using them.:lol:
