Yeah. :yep:

I mixed YAM & SD's Razz and I'm under the Steamer now. :lick:

I felt like I needed a Mid-Week Wash.

Tomorrow will be my final day of M-T and I'll start prepping for my T/U 5-9.

Oh that sounds yummy. Yea I'm washing bc I just added Scurl to my hair last night. I'm not a fan of Scurl but my hair does feel soft.

I might use yam or either just use honey. I'm not sure yet

"If" b.a.s.k. has a decent Sale, I may get the Cacao Bark DC'er (even though I have E/N's Cacao Bark DC'er):look:.

I'll finish up my 1st Jar of YAM by mixing it. Next Wash-Day (Friday), I'll mix it with KBB.

And I'll also mix it with E/N's Seabuckthorn & Horsetail and whatever else I have open.:grin:

1st time trying it "Mixed" It felt good using as a DC'er follow-up, so I want to see how it feels Mixed.

I like the Apple Sorghum. Smells good too.:lick:

I should use that again on Friday or the Chai Tea Pre-Rx from BlueRoze Beauty.

It's a sticky-oil Combo.:grin:
 
I like the possibility of Mixing b.a.s.k. YAM with my existing opened DC'ers. :love:

Even with SD's Razz, I feel like it gave it an extra added Umph.:drool:

Can't wait to try it mixed with KBB and Enso Naturals Seabuckthorn & Horsetail.:yep:
 
My Dryer just died.:cry2:

I can't beweave it.:sad:

I can't be mad though, because it lasted longer than I ever woulda' imagined.:look:

It slowed down & then it sped up, and then it started sounding like it was popping/crackling.:blush:

I was afraid to touch the plug.

Anyway, I just bought another one.:rolleyes:

It is suppose to be here between the 1st and the 7th.

So, I don't know if I'll get that wash in on Friday or not.

That right there just killed off 1/2 of my M-Day Purchases.:spinning:

Which dryer did you purchase?
 
@Rozlewis

I had a Hot N Gold Ionic Tourmaline 1875W (Stand Up).

I got another one that is 1875W (different brand) on Sale for $100 Bucks - Free Shipping.

If I ever graduate to Roller Setting, I'll replace this one with a PIBBS.

I am also thinking of investing in a Blow Dryer soon too.
 
Oh noooooooo IDareT'sHair, sorry about your dryer. I purchased a Pibbs 514 when that was trending. I can count the number of times I've used it.

Re: SCurl...I was just mentioning the new formula doesn't work for my hair.

DoDo, what's your glycerin / water ratio? I don't recall trying that specifically. I have added some glycerin to my conditioner. Results didn't sweep me off my feet so I stopped doing it.

Girl No!:blush:

Don't tell me that.:nono:

I was going to buy one when I first joined and Charz talked me out of it.

Telling me she never used/uses hers either.:perplexed

She said the same thing.:sad:

We also both bought FHI Runways ($450) and I ended up returning mine. I think she kept hers.:ohwell:

That's terrible. Oh Well, I guess A Hunnen Bucks is the best way to go.

That Unexpected Purchase took a Huge Bite outta my Mothers Day Dollas!:sad:

OT: Naturalista refunded me and wrote a very nice note that they were sorry I decided not to complete my Purchase.:look:
 
That's messed up about your dryer T. :(

I just have my hair in flat twists going back into a braid in the back. Moisturized with a little APB Buttercream hair cream and sealed with some HV Vatika Frosting. :lick:

I used up my SD VS the other day after my Komaza protein treatment. Luckily I'm getting another jar of it. I will also be revisiting RCA and trying out the Avocado Pudding. Can't wait.

1/4th glycerin and 3/4ths water. I sometimes adjust it upward so that I can feel the glycerin on my fingertips without it feeling sticky. I always seal with something afterwards to hold in the moisture and moderate the effects if there is a sudden rise in dew point. My hair will swell and shrink up to its heart's content if I play games with glycerin when it is humid out and I have found that sealing with an oil or butter moderates those effects.

Glycerin when used in a personal mix can be extremely conditioning. I managed to over condition my hair while using glycerin to baggy my hair twice a week. I had no idea at the time that over conditioning was even possible in my hair :shocked:.

I am hoping the ladies in this thread find this article useful. It may explain why glycerin is so useful in softening new growth and helping with the line of demarcation.

From the Natural Haven Bloom:

"Moisture Issue: Glycerin is your friend
Glycerin is a friend and a foe. In one breath it can be praised but in the next it can be cursed. So here are a few quick facts about glycerin.

1. It is a humectant which means it can hold onto water (3 molecules of water to be precise).
2. It is moisturising i.e it helps maintain or increase water levels of hair.
3. Natural hair treated with glycerin is resistant to premature breakage. This means the hair will break but not as much at low levels of force. Relaxed hair does not benefit from this property (J Soc Cosmet Chem, pg 39-52, 1985).

Why is glycerin so hard to use?

Glycerin is usually quite effective at high levels. High means 20-25% mixed with water (1 part glycerin to 3 or 4 parts water). However this mix tends to feel sticky to the touch. As the scientists say, 'it lacks cosmetic elegance'.

Therefore glycerin is normally changed to very low concentrations (between 2 and 10%) and mixed with additional ingredients such as oil.

Glycerin IS a very effective moisturising ingredient, there is even an entire book dedicated to it. If you need to troubleshoot your glycerin use, consider these tips.

1. Do not use straight glycerin, always combine it with water. Start at around 25% (1 part glycerin to 3 parts water) and keep increasing the water until you find a level you like.
2. Glycerin can feel sticky. Try using a small amount in a spray bottle. Do not thoroughly wet the the hair, just a few short sprays.
3. Glycerin is easily washed off. If you don't like a particular concentration, get rid of it by wetting your hair or washing it.
4. Does your hair feel mushy after using glycerin? It may be because your hair is moisturised enough or you have applied too much product. "
