Hey Ladies!

:sekret: I almost had a complete and utter breakdown in a professional salon warehouse today.

I couldn't locate the Mizani H2O. Due to its Holy Grail status I started to :burnup:when the YT sales girl was trying to get me to try the Keracare version.

Don't get me wrong I ride with Keracare poos and styling products all day long. However, Mizani has the hairdress game on lock with the H2O Intense Nighttime TX. It is perfection in a jar for rollerset and/or straightened hair.

Finally, a Sistah came to help. She found me the new Mizani Strength Fusion and advised it is the same thing and was accidentally shelved in the wrong area. I went from o_O to :) immediately.

My road dog was like :rolleyes: can't go no where with you. I was like :oops:

@MileHighDiva

That was so funny :lol:

Question though, are the ingredients the same on both jars? I may get that. I used it years ago on my straight relaxed hair. I am texlaxed now but it should still work.

Yes, it's the same thing. New name and packaging. They are trying to market it as part of their new post chemical line or something. They can't be playing marketing games with my HG stuff.

In addition, people are taking this "break the aisle" campaign stuff too far. Accidentally, mis-shelving stuff.

Glad to hear that. Whew! I will definitely be looking into getting this again.

Are you mixing with coconut milk or water? If you're not using coconut milk to mix with, please start. That will help a lot. Also, adding GSO to your mix, :yep:

I use GVP Conditioning Balm to co-wash henna out. That starts the softening process. Then I DC with Bee Mine Bee-U-Ti-Ful or SD Shea What! Deux. I have Jessicurl DC Rx and Darcy Botanicals DC Mask on deck to use post henna. However, I've haven't taken them for a whirl yet.

I use green tea. How is the dye release with coconut milk? I like to keep it simple with a thin liquid. I guess I could try coconut milk. My hair wasn't breaking, damaged, or anything like that and my stylers/moisturizers did soften it up tremendously. I just thought the UCS which was great after my protein treatment a while back would do the same. I know people use coconut milk, etc., but I really liked the dye release and shine I got using the green tea and nothing else.

I also need to go back to cowashing it out with conditioner instead of using the cleansing conditioner. I thought it wouldn't make a difference but I think it did.

I really don't need to be buying anything else so I'll dig in this here stash or add some oils to some of the DCs I already have.

I think adding the oils to your DCs is a great idea @NaturallyATLPCH. I'd probably make the oil a little warm to hot though.

In fact, AVG mixed in with a rich thick oil (mainly evoo, palm oil) works wonders for me. This of course, is after cowashing it out as much as possible.

After the AVG/Oil rinse, then I would Deep Condition with whatever moisturizing DC I have on hand. NG Marshmallow and NG Mango & Coconut have been a plus.

Okay, I'm going to try this after my next treatment. Cowash henna out, then do an AVG/evoo rinse, then apply my DC.
Now will my cuticles be shut though? My hair is low Po.

Not with the hot oil/avg. You would get them closed after your deep conditioner. Does an ACV or baking soda rinse work to close them or do you use cool water? I'm normal Po so I can't say if they will close with low-po. I know low-po hair does well with the Maximum Hydration Method but I'm unfamiliar with how it works. I'll read up on it. My hair may still benefit from this method.

Check this out - http://www.maneobjective.com/2014/08/the-max-hydration-method-is-it-for-you.html and http://www.maneobjective.com/search/label/max hydration method. I will be reading up on it in more detail to see if my hair could use it too.

Ooooo girl I am NOT about that MHM method life lol!
My hair overall retains moisture very well. Even if I was having moisture issues I would not dare go through alladat :lachen:.

The UCS didn't do the job after my henna. Maybe it will work for you but that's one reason I wanted to know what options there were.
Well I guess I'll just add oils to These DCs I have for now.

I used to solely use DB Pumpkin Seed. I also used to mix my henna with buttermilk or yogurt or coconut milk, so I never really noticed how strong henna is. As @MileHighDiva already stated, it does help. Ill probably go back to those mixes. The bringraj may also affect it; I mixed mine with amla and its just taking time to get the moisture back in.
