@IDareT'sHair I know I'm so annoyed with my hair right now. I haven't used the APalus brush in a minute.
@Saludable84
Nice results in the NetWurks21 thread. So far, how are you feeling about the product?
@flyygirlll2
I guess right now, I'm over the annoyed phase and at the phase "it is what it is".
I know I don't want to go back to relaxing, (at least not in the near future), so Imma hafta' accept what I'm dealing with and try to make it work.
I'm still under a wig, so I guess I only have to "deal with my hair" on wash days. I honestly don't know what I would do, if I were wearing it out everyday?
@IDareT'sHair Yes it came today
Sooooo that HQ GM and CK combo is a no go. My hair feels dry as all get out. I had banded my hair and much to my dismay my hair is still stuck at shrinkville and the ssk's.... Lawd I think I'm going to have to find the energy and patience to wash this out and blow dry to do a small trim. Dis tew much.

I been thinking bout relaxing or texlaxing too. But I know I'd regret it. I been annoyed with my hair. It just does not do what I want it to do.
I don't care for the scalp tenderness, but it's bareable. I scaled back to 1x a day due to the tenderness. I just can't scratch or scrub too hard. Otherwise, I'm fine with it. My roots and hair closer to it feel nice and soft and I'm seeing less hair going down the drain.
As aggravated as I get, I don't see myself going back to relaxing anytime soon either. I'm going to learn to deal with it for now.

Heat Trained uh?
@Golden75I did get the brush and used it several times. It does the job. I stay at about 300-325 and get a silky blowout look. I may bust it out tomorrow. Maybe. I just finished blowdrying and trying to figure what I'll do for the week. Now that my hair is shorter and more layered, buns my be a challenge. Hair looked great soaking wet. Had me thinking I could have a bomb wash n go. But I know that thought was a lie.
Yup... I had no tangles washing, curls def elongated more so than normal. However, I did feel before the salon, my hair was leaning towards the side of trained/tamed. But I said nah... But after salon there is a noticeable difference especially a section in the front. No curl pattern from root through shaft. My ends have a very loose 3c look to them though. So I'll be laying low on heat for a bit, don't want to rock the boat. I only blow dried on low using tension method and it was easy peasy. Usually tension method left me with puffier hair.
I'm not too concerned, yet, since I have not seen any breakage.
@Golden75Thats why imma chill with any high heat. I think I'll be ok. I'll pull out HTN protein l.i. and the moisturizer.
@Golden75 @rileypak
I know Imma be truly sad tomorrow when I finish up this last jar of SSI Banana Brulee.
Especially since it temporarily discontinued. I always took for granted this product would always be around, and now that it's not has me feelin' some kind of way.
I mean, I didn't consider it an HG or anything, but I did like it and bought it from time to time.

@Golden75
Yum!
Isn't it wonderful to have all kinds of Options?
Folks can say what they want about being a PJ, but it has its Rewards for real.
I was actually going to use this today, but I saw the opened Fortifying mask. I don't see the Fortifying on the site either, unless its rebranded as the repair and restore mask. Fortifying is really nice too. Hair was very soft and smooth after rinsing. I'll probably use this up in the next couple weeks. Think I have a little less than 8oz left. I found a corner of Okra Winfrey, but I should have more somewhere in the stash boxes.
YASSSSSSS!!! I was all up in the cray stash thinking "this is ridic, but at least I have some good options for my situation" . I need to see whats still in the fridge. I think thats where the Banana Brûlée may be.
So... when is the break starting?
I lurked in the wash and go fall challenge for tips. They know what they talking about.
I know how you feel about the Banana Brûlée DC. I never tried it but I definitely have DCs that I'd be crushed to find even temporarily discontinued
