Use 1 Buy 1 Challenge pt.5

I've gotta catch up but wanted to say APB's Blueberry Cheesecake DC is an instant hit. I almost forgot I needed to DC this morning. You know trying to go back to my old routine. So I only had time for 10 minutes with a plastic cap followed by an additional 10 minutes with hemp oil on top with a plastic cap. :love: it.

I really like it. I think it only comes an 8 oz though. I also have the Blueberry one which is nice but I prefer the Green Tea because I think it's a little more moisturizing for my hair. I bought the 16 oz of the SSI Avocado Condtioner during the last sale and I love it :2inlove: it's slippy and made detangling this disrespectful hair easier.

I agree. That's why I was worried about blueberries and my hair but APB's blueberries did it just fine :yep:

Girl...you gotta tell me all about this Grease, Sulfates and Retention.:lurking:

:lachen:Yes ma'am!
So I've only been sealing with grease for a few days. I will know the real outcome when I bun exclusively in August when I take my Marleys down.
You all know the hair I have. I don't fool with wash n gos, etc. I don't usually deal with knots because I keep it stretched out or bunned.
The two times I have sealed my ends, nape, and edges with hair grease, when I took my buns down to redo, as I manipulated my hair, I did not have ANY breakage and my hair was very, very soft.
This is perfect for me since I bun and protect my hair so much.
Now since I use grease, I use a sulphate poo to get it out but my Giovanni with Cocobetaine works fine. I no longer co wash, it was making my scalp itch. I shampoo exclusively.

What Grease are you using? Lemme go to the Oils Thread and see.

So, your sulfates is in your 'Poo? What about Cones? Have you reincorporated those?

Yes, sulfates are in my poo. I've been using Profectiv Mega Growth grease, and I've also experimented with African Royale Super GRO grease.
I'm finding grease makes my hair more pliable than natural pomades because a lot of natural pomades are wax filled and hard to spread.
I did my research and petroleum is actually natural also, as it is extracted from earth lo lol...it's not synthetic like people think.

I've used cones in my rinse outs when I use them.

I got the African Royale Hot 6 Oil recently on a Swap.

I will use it this Fall/Winter for a HOT under my Heat Cap:up:

The no mineral oil/no petroleum all natural route hasn't made my hair miraculous over the past six years. I'm finally figuring out to leave these dang blogs alone and do what I want lol...

I feel the same way.

The only thing that is hit or miss for me are silicones. With the exception of one or two water soluble ones, i can use them "maybe" in a leave in but I can't use them in deep conditioners. As a heat protectant, they are the best thing for my hair.

I've always been an advocate for sulphates (mainly because non-poo can be harsher than poo). Very few non-poos have worked for me and by few, I mean two. Of 5 shampoos I've used consistently over the last 7 years, my number 1, 2 and 3 have SLS in them. My Camille Rose is number 4, and no sls, so that says enough.

November I will be natural for 4 years and will hopefully reach WL. I'm like that last person in every group I'm in to go natural and have watched their hair stay in the same place while mine has gotten to where it is doing things that are "taboo". People have told me sulfates are taboo btw lol.

I'm dying for a jar of blue magic :look:
