Oh wow! That's no bueno @shawnyblazes
Hope you feel better.

Happy Birthday!! @Beamodel

 

[flyygirlll2]

@BrownBetty Yeah that's part of the reason I decided against coloring my hair. I didn't want to add more problems to my hair.

@IDareT'sHair I used Garnier Whole Blends Coconut Water & Vanilla Milk Hydrating Mask with HV's Cocasta Oil. I'll have to use it a few more times to really say if it's a hot or miss, but so far I really loved the combo with steaming. The mask is a light creamy consistency and it melted in my hair. I usually prefer more thicker creams as DC's for my hair, but my hair felt really good afterwards with curls/coils popping everywhere.

I have the regular conditioner from the coconut, honey & coconut water line. They are nice but I don't think I'm gonna buy them again once I use them up. I was gonna get the mask but passed on it.

@flyygirlll2
Please try to Steam once a week and see if you can combat that dryness.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

I just got my Sarenzo out of the Mail. Everything looks delicious.

@shawnyblazes I see what you mean. Some of my bottles were the squeezable ones and some of them were hard.

I hope with my next order, they will be in squeezable bottles. I will make a note in Seller's notes if there is one because the hard bottles are a pain to get all the product out..

 

[flyygirlll2]

@IDareT'sHair Yeah I'm going to try and steam my hair during the next few washes and see if that helps.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@flyygirlll2
I seriously beweave it will help you turn things around.

 

[Aggie]

If your hair is still dry hold off on the color or henna. Semi permanent color is sooo drying.

Hmm, I do demi permanents on my hair all the time and it's never dry like you describe. I wonder why? It could be the oil rinses afterwards though...

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Sarenzo does have some very nice scents.

@rileypak
What do you think is causing your 'tenderness'?

I'm thinking it's the way I part my hair. I've been working in four sections forever and it's probably time to change it up for a bit.
I sectioned the tender part together after my DC Friday and it already feels much better without me doing anything beyond that.
I'll still keep an eye on it though.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@rileypak

Glad it's feeling better. What are you DC'ing with these days?

 

[rileypak]

@rileypak

Glad it's feeling better. What are you DC'ing with these days?

This month, Mielle Organics Babassu Mint DC and using up an almost empty jar of old formula Silk Dreams Razzberry Coconut Affair. I've really been trying to stick to going through the open stuff in the stash.
The only new stuff I'm using is the APB Moisturizing Whipped Cleansing Creme and my butters I seal with.

 

[divachyk]

Over manipulation perhaps @rileypak?

@IDareT'sHair
My sarenzo creamy oil virtues are squeezable....


Y'all since I'm a straight haired natural, I only wash and press my hair twice a month. I noticed that my hair grew much faster when I washed more often. I don't know how to encorperate that into my regimen when I press it every two weeks. I still plan on relaxing, I'm just trying to do it as a virgin relaxer.

 

[rileypak]

Over manipulation perhaps @rileypak?

Definitely a possibility.
Right now, I just put my crown in two loose braids and will try to be more mindful of it for the next few weeks.

 

[MileHighDiva]

Happy Born-Day, @Beamodel!

 

[divachyk]

Happy Birthday @shawnyblazes @Beamodel

@rileypak, my scalp tend to get sore if I comb it opposite of how it naturally falls. Like, if I change up my part and comb my hair over in the opposite direction than what my scalp is use to...it gets sore.

 

[divachyk]

With being out of town, I forgot to pop in say, Happy 2 Years Post Relaxer to me!! (on 9 June)

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@divachyk
Awww.....Happy Nappiversary.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

My sarenzo creamy oil virtues are squeezable....

@Beamodel
Mine have been in these hard inflexible bottles that I've had to cut open to get all the product out.

This order some were in hard and some were in squeezables.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Soultanicals might be the only thing I am still waiting on. (I think)

 

[Bette Davis Eyes]

I really need to do my hair but it's not happening. I'll do it tomorrow during the day.

I'm waiting on shipping from Soultanicals and Cream and coco.

What do you use to color?

 

[Aggie]

What do you use to color?

@BrownBetty,

I use Matrix Develop 10 and Matrix Color Sync 1A (Black Ash), mix a 50/50 mix of both and put on damp hair BEFORE shampooing.

I simply spritz my hair until damp only with some water before applying the demi color.

I then leave it on for 30 minutes, (with or without conditioning cap and no heat necessary) shampoo, oil rinse and detangle under running water in the shower, DC, style as usual.

I get a very rich black color with this.

That's really weird. I wonder why she has hard bottles for it.

 

[divachyk]

TY @IDareT'sHair!!!

 

[IDareT'sHair]

I thought I was only waiting on ST'cals, and forgot about Donna Marie (which has shipped).

Still no word from ST'icals.

 

[rileypak]

I don't even remember what's on its way anymore
