You're welcome! @IDareT'sHair. Since incorporating protein, using sulfate shampoo and laying off steaming, breakage is so much better. You're not afraid to use protein though so I would think it would be harder to over moisturize your hair. I never had the stretchy, gummy feeling so I had no indicators of over moisturized hair.

@divachyk

That's Great that by implementing many of their tips, your hair is turning around.

Still unsure how to incorporate steaming vs using the dryer for DC'ing Rx's. Cause I still wanna DC x2 a week.

 

[Beamodel]

Today's wash routine has left me with THE MOST MOISTURIZED AND SOFTEST HAIR I've ever had...

No Joke!

 

[divachyk]

I don't see why alternating would not work - DC 1 (steam) and DC 2 later in the week (dry heat). What you think @IDareT'sHair

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@Beamodel NICE! What do you think gave you those results?

CONGRATS @Beamodel! If I drank alcohol, I'd toss some back for ya! Did you post your wash day deets previously? Is this a result of something Komaza told you to do?

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@divachyk
Gurl....I'm addicted to 'steaming' .... Imma test it out tho'.

 

[flyygirlll2]

Lol, I had a jheri curl @IDareT'sHair Those are very opposing views. I wasn't using protein yet I was force feeding moisture into my hair day after day, week after week. At first, I truly thought Komaza was lying about my hair being over moisturized. I was like, there is no way in heck!! I was fighting every thing they told me but I finally decided to implement their recommendations just to see how things would turn out and whadayaknow my hair turned around and started responding favorably. So, as hard as it is for me to believe you can over moisturize, I think it is possible given the extraness I was doing.

@divachyk thats very interesting. My hair actually is dry now because I've been lazy and haven't been moisturizing it, but girl when it gets moisturized I hold on to that feeling for dear life because I'm used to my hair being like a Sahara.

 

[divachyk]

@flyygirlll2 one thing I'm still not sold on is that I have normal to high porosity. I still think my hair has some low porosity characteristics. However, using a sulfate shampoo each wash day keeps the strands free of buildup and available to accept moisture so I'm no longer struggling with dry hair. Finding the right shampoo was a battle though. I like Nexxus Therappe.

 

[divachyk]

@IDareT'sHair, hahahahaha I know steaming is your boo thang. It was mine too but shoooooo when they said I had signs of thinning, I was like, you ain't got to tell me twice!

 

[flyygirlll2]

I am looking forward to the phone consultation though. I really want to simplify my regimen but sometimes I feel that I have to do xyz because my hair can be a beast to deal with and my wash days are just too danm long smh.

 

[Beamodel]

@divachyk

No, no recommendations from Komaza. They wanted me to use carols daughter stuff and their coconut stuff. I decided not to buy either. My hair don't like aloe and Komaza stuff is packed with aloe.

@divachyk @IDareT'sHair

I made a fenugreek mask. Added 2tsp of VO5 conditioner and some KV oil. Applied it to dry hair for an hour. Rinsed.

Applied NG Marshmallow Root (protein free version) mixed with Jakeala Tutti. DC'd for an hour with heat under my Lali Ali soft bonnet Then let it sit for about 30 mins and rinsed.

Applied APB leave in spray (diluted) apied PBN Muru Muru Milk. Lightly sealed my ends with APB body butter and sprayed a tiny amount of APB refresher spray on top.

@divachyk I know I'm going to be told I'm high porosity. I don't think the natural part of my hair is high porosity though, it doesn't behave the same as my relaxed hair at all. I have the Nexxus Therappw as well but haven't used it in a while. I've been using DE Honey Creme shampoo which I love despite the sulfates

 

[divachyk]

@flyygirlll2 simplifying saved me no time only because I'm now dealing with multiple textures. While I don't do as many steps as I use too, the time it takes to detangle and such has lengthened. I prepoo, cleanse, condition & style -- I don't tea rinse and alladat no more. Oh and I exfoliate my scalp now with every wash.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@Beamodel Everything sounds delish.

Mixing that Tutti Honey ain't no joke. My hair felt instantly moisturized on contact

I keep hearing that APB Refresher Spray is the business.

Wonder what her M-Day details are?

 

[divachyk]

I have the Lala Bonnet @Beamodel. That thing gets mega hot. I'm afraid it's going to burn me. I've been burned once (by Huetiful steamer) so I'm super cautious and afraid of hot appliances.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Speaking of APB - I got a sample of the Hair Lotion with my Order (Mango Sorbet)

@divachyk the detangling part is what takes the longest for me. I've spent 2 hours detangling and just wanted to scream

@divachyk

I use the cool setting and it's a perfect temperature. Yes the hot setting is very hot.

@IDareT'sHair
Yes, I want more refresher sprays in other scents. That's some very good stuff. I can feel the seriousness of moisture from it lol.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

I'm with @flyygirlll2 My Hair stay dry.

I'd be surprised at it being overmoisturized (but stranger things have happened on this HHJ).

Will test out the moisture theory this Spring/Summer.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@Beamodel

What Scent(s) did you get the refresher spray(s) in?

I might pick up one or two during the M-Day Sale.

I also want a Blow Dry Crème.

@IDareT'sHair I just ordered this and left her a note asking for the original instead of the new formulation. If it's anything like MC Hair Candy, my hair will be in love

@flyygirlll2 Me too but I never mention how long it takes because someone will surely say, IS IT WORTH IT, WHY NOT JUST RELAX and truly, I'm not here for those comments.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

A Friend of mine sent me a bottle of Natures Bounty Hair/Skin/Nails Gummies. Right now I'm using Phytophanere & Biotin.

You are suppose to use Phytophanere 4 months and then off 1 month.

During the month off, I may take the Gummies with either Phytospecific or with Silica.

I need to find a way to incorporate them in.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@flyygirlll2

It's different than the Candy Hair. What scent did you get Ms. FlyG?

@divachyk lol that's true, folks will run their mouth. Some people have already told me to just relax after their eyes finish glazing over when I tell them I'm nearly 7 months post . When it's all said and done I'm the one that has to deal with my hair not them so I KIM.

 

[flyygirlll2]

@flyygirlll2

@IDareT'sHair I got it in baked cherries. I've been hearing how everyone loves the peach bellini so I might try that next.

[IDareT'sHair]

@flyygirlll2

I also got one in Baked Cherries and also in Mango.

Speaking of Jakeala...I asked to cancel my earlier purchase to buy NG.

That 30% was callin' my name. I'll try to pick up Jakeala again, if she offers a good M-Day Sale.
