OMG THATS AMAZING! When did you do your BC?

@DeerDance
I transitioning about 18-20ish months. I was snipping away here and there all throughout my "Transition".

It seems like I keep going from one issue to another - from SSKs to Detangling.

Being Natural for me has been a bit of a struggle.

Good Morning!

What's up Ms. Lady?

Morning!

Heavy sealed the crap outta my hair. It's still wet.

And my Detangling was a struggle last night. I had to pull out my sagemann medium and fine tooth combs. I almost cried.

I'm thinking i need to try chicoro prepoo.

@Saludable84

Finished up: QB - Amla Olive & Heavy Creme - will be pulling out BRBC.

But I should finish up MHC Type3 first because I really don't care for it. (which I think I will do).

Well, I shouldn't say "I don't care for it" - it was a waste of $18.99.

There are way too many other things that are a lot cheaper that work better if not as well.

Gurl....You Really Should!

My little 'make shift' version worked EXTREMELY Well! Will definitely incorporate this all summer long.

I need to revisit the recipe to see if I used everything. But it worked so goodt. I am super impressed.

Lawd knows I hate mixing stuff, but if it works - hey let's get it!

I put my Amla up, but I should work on using it up.

Thanks again about the Type3. Definitely not bothering. I was going to get it for DS, but his hair likes the SSI Marula and Hemp better.

Yeah, I will look for the thread. You know I like mixing

@IDareT'sHair Thanks for bumping that thread . I have aloe Vera juice but I think I want to try aloe vera jelly instead if I attempt this.

I didn't end up washing my hair as planned. I just detangled it. I'll wash it next week. I might do a roller set or something because I really need to stretch my hair so I can dust my ends better. I'm too through with these ssk's
It's so frustrating

Beyond. I haven't this much trouble in a long while. I was combing out these paddy dreads everywhere. It's funny because my NurCreations Green Tea and Avocado dupe was the only areas to act right. The other area where I used regular DC went ham on me.

I think I need a protein treatment.

Yeah it's as if these ssk's are holding my hair hostage. I can't. I haven't had a protein treatment in more than a month. I might as well do one during the next wash.... ughhh.

@flyygirlll2 @Saludable84
My hair continues to wrap around itself. But my detangling was a lot easier and my hair felt juicy..

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@flyygirlll2 @Saludable84
Picked up a couple Body Frostings from Sarenzo. I was originally putting them on my hair, but recently tried it as a Body Frosting (duh).

They feel really good in a non-greasy, very moisturizing, absorbing way and the scents (as you know) are awesome.

I got some summa' scents.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@flyygirlll2
I have to get this detangling under control. I feel like it's so counter-productive.

I must master this technique. I feel like I am really struggling in this area and I don't want it to affect my Retention.

I have a couple of the body frostings. I mainly use them after showering. The pancake waffle smells sooo good

Yeah it's been aggravating to say the least
I typically just keep my hair in twists and KIM but at this point something has to give because it's truly getting tiring. I think I'm just going to have to stretch my hair through other means
(roller sets, blow drying). My issue is I hate prolonging wash days. When I'm done washing my hair, I really am over it and want to go about my day.

My hair is getting longer but the ssk's coupled with detangling drive me insane.

And I've been wanting to pick up a few

@Saludable84
I was 'pleasantly' surprised they were already marked down to $8.50. I didn't think the Body "stuff" was gone be on Sale until next Friday.

You should definitely grab a few.

The scents are wonderful (and lasting) and it absorbs into the skin and are very moisturizing.

@flyygirlll2
I have been 'stretching' by placing clips close to the roots. To kinda stretch it out while drying.

I wanna do a modified version of "banding" but I suck at such techniques.

@flyygirlll2
I've been using a "Snickerdoodle" one - that smells identical to the Pancake Waffle or Pecan Pancake or whatever it's called....I know the one you mean.

I think it's that and they slapped a "Snickerdoodle" label on it.

I have a Watermelon one I got on a Swap that smells so Summer-y. I got a Brown Sugar and Sweet Potato Pie (or something like that) that I'll try to save for Fall.

I tried banding shortly after my BC and it was a fail. I might give it another go but then again I don't want to bother either lol.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@flyygirlll2
That's why I don't wanna try it. I'm a total failure.

I've been using Clips/Clamps close to the root to attempt stretch.

I think I have 3 or 4 of the body frosting. I don't remember the other scents but the pancake waffle is the one I keep in the shower. I love that's it's very emomolient and moisturizing.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Giving this heavy Sealing a good try.
Will be using:
CRN's Ajani
DB's Eucalyptus
NG's Sweet Honey & NG's Emu and Argan
QB's abcdefghijklmnop
Nature's Blessings
Claudie's Butter
Oyin's Pomades
ED JBCO
HV's CoCosta, Almond Glaze
*others grease, butters, pomades
You know the drill

 

[IDareT'sHair]

My Hairveda should arrive tomorrow.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Thought about snatching up a couple more HV Almond Glaze. Last time I bought it, it was sort of waxy.

I'll see when it comes tomorrow, if I grab a couple b/ups - especially since HAIR15 still works....and....Almond Glaze is on Sale and I only bought x1.

Hi Curly!

What did you use yesterday? Is "Operation Organize" finished?

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@rileypak
Hey Girl!

Somebody need to talk to me!

 

[Beamodel]

Today I purchased a tub of Affirm Fiberguard Mild relaxer.

After 2 years & 3 months, I'm starting another hair journey again. I plan on relaxing my hair before the end of April.

I did a beautiful silk press today and it started reverting the moment I went outside. I truly feel like my hair thrived way better when it was relaxed. I would have been BSL by now. But I think the constant application of heat is causing more harm to my hair.

I never planned on going natural and most certainly never intended to to wear it in its natural state, so this decision to return to my textlaxed relaxed looking hair makes perfect sense for me.

I wish you all well as yall continue your natural hair journey. For me it's not about natural or relaxed. I just want beautiful hair in general.

@IDareT'sHair
I did my hair today and used the ou.idad I reviewed in the hits or miss thread.
The project is ongoing. Moved out some more stuff this week. I think we'll get it done by the week the kids get spring break.
