@chebaby Yeah, we be all over some Protein! I know I wanted that DRC-28 so bad. That Lady clowned Charz & Ltown at that Hair Show. I woulda' had my DRC for $35.00 if she wouldna' been ackin' a fool.

Lawd...I guess I didn't remember how bad Tea Tree Stank! JBCO is the bomb.com tho'.



@chebaby You betta' slow your roll on those weekly Henna Treatments. You're out of Henna right now tho' right?

You just doing Henna Glosses right?



@chebaby They won't let us have Nothin'.

Maybe she doin' a twist-out on Tyrone.

the only place i ever see DRC locally aint really local but imma take the trip(its only like 35 minutes away) and get it. after i finish this sucky rebuilder and cj repair me.
i remember how that lady clowned Charz what a mess lol. like we dont know how to read directions. only stylists can read direction

naw ive been doing regular hennas. but yesterday i only left it on for like 3 or 4 hours. just henna and water when i was adding honey and oils and other powders it wasnt making no difference waste o time.

girl and shes an older women. at least 65 and im being nice when i say that cause im really thinking 70 or so. i know white women cant be making videos on twist outs lol. so i wonder who she was watching and WHY

 

[chebaby]

OMG what if she was watching the typeF videos

 

[divachyk]

@chebaby

Girl....You do Play Around with Alot of PROTEIN (Lawd...Che....So Do I)

I'm under the Dryer w/Nexxus Keraphix will Rinse and Slap on some Marie Dean Olive, Wheat & Berry and get back under dryer.

Reconstructor + Protein + Steam in Moisture = Regimen

you know you have plenty of room for my special oil mix. im going to name it T's JB and tea tree
naw im just joking. i dont keep no funky tea tree in my house. i do however have a brand new bottle of JBCO that i dont know what to do with.

i love protein
T we aint never scurred of protein. we jump on it like its going out of style lol.
i think imma save up my pennies and try that DRC

chebaby and IDareT'sHair - my hair would be on the flo' if I used protein frequently.

 

[chebaby]

@chebaby and @IDareT'sHair - my hair would be on the flo' if I used protein frequently.

yea thats how i thought my hair would be when i went natural. i thought my hair would be dry and all i would need is moisture. so not the case my hair is mush city at the drop of a hat. i needs ma protein often lol.

i actually enjoy experimenting with protein. i dont think my hair can get protein over load. not sure why but i did 2 aphogees back to back with no deep conditioning and my hair still feels soft. and the conditioner i used after my protein treatment had 2 different proteins in it(panthenol and oat protein) lmao.

 

[chebaby]

fun fact: and im prolly so late on this, yall probably already knew this. but you know how the aphogee treatment gets hard when you blow dry it? well after i finished blow drying it i decided to let it sit for an extra 10 minutes. i had no idea it softens up on its own i thought my hair would stay hard but it doesnt. thats so funny to me.
that was my fun fact of the day lol.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@chebaby Yeah...I thought about getting it off Amazon. It's like $56.00 and no questions asked.

About "Is you a Beautician"

Will finish up the Cream Protein & Rebuilder and re-evaluate the situation (whether I want to break down and make that investment).

I already buy that Crazy BBD Stretch *which i lurve* for $55.00. So I gotta thank about it some more.

I still have HV Methi Set I haven't tried out and that Camille Rose Seaweed & Algae, Jasmines Rebuilder, Claudies Recon & Rebuilder etc.....

Oh Yeah, I hear Ultra-Sheen Duo-Tex is really good too (and cheap)

Dang che (chebaby). I'd be bald! My hair is iffy. I can do a reconstructor several weeks straight and my hair will love it and then without warning, it's starts aking up, breaking and what not because I've slightly overloaded. I'm working on learning how to properly do the wet strand test to check for protein/moisture balance. I suck at the wet strand test right now. I just gauge my protein by how my dry hair feels - is it breaking? No, then I'm good. If yes, then I use protein.

chebaby Girl....I hope that Po' Lady wasn't watching that Ragged-tay TypeF

Yes Lawd....Toliet Bowl Cleaner with a Splash of Liquid Plum'R

If/When I get DRC28 I'll just get it off Amazon. I don't want no mess.

Yeah, You can get Duo-Tex at Sally. If I wasn't sittin' on all these Protein Rx's I'd get a bottle too. I got Repair Me and the CJ Reconstructor.

I need to sit down somewhere.

when i was relaxed i used joico k-pak every week but i followed it with the hydrator and my hair stayed nice soft and strong. i also falt ironed every week back then. now the k-pak is waaaaayyyyyy to light for me.

usually i think its the other way around(at least in my mind) you need more protein as a relaxed head then as a natural. but it didnt work out that way for me

and i think the bolded is a great way to tell whether or not you need protein. i know if im co washing every single day then i need a light protein conditioner 2x a week. also if i go a few weeks with no protein at all my hair will get mushy and stringy.

when are you going to use that funky junkie
i might use it this weekend to steam. i want to hurry up and use it before it goes bad since you know she discontinued it like 10 years ago

 

[mkd]

My hair definitely needs some protein. It is acting funky so I will definitely be doing an aphogee two step Friday.

@chebaby Lawd....You shoulda' told me that before I ordered it.

I'll use it Friday. Put it in Rotation ASAP. I have 2 bottles.

Hmp. That Sucka was still Sixteen Bucks. It shoulda' been Two-Fiddy

@mkd What You Doin'? Were you off? I had to Werk

 

[divachyk]

I had a hairtastrophe occur a few weeks ago but we parted ways yesterday so I'm soothing the pain with buying WEN Ginger Pumpkin.

The story goes - Around the end of Sep, work had me spread thin. Pair that with being super ill with acid reflux, I kinda didn't do much to my hair. My hair was slightly tangled leading in to my wash session but nothing major (or so I didn't think). I washed and ended up with 3 knots. 2 were detangled out but not without incident. I had some breakage. The 3rd wouldn't budge. I cowashed my hair 5x at least, oil rinsed, etc. Nothing - so here's the end result. I finally chopped it yesterday!

I'm posting a link because I didn't resize the pic. Plus, I don't want to have to visit this thread and see my disaster on blast!

 

[IDareT'sHair]

when i was relaxed i used joico k-pak every week but i followed it with the hydrator and my hair stayed nice soft and strong. i also falt ironed every week back then. now the k-pak is waaaaayyyyyy to light for me.

@chebaby Excellent Point Che. I really don't have any really heavy Protein Rx's. erplexed

I think the 'heaviest' thing I have on hand is maybe that Dudley Cream Protein & Dudley Rebuilder.

My other stuff is like: Komaza, Cathy Howse, Jasmine, CJ, SSI Fortifying, HV Methi, Claudie. (the Handmade Naturals).

And I have: K-Pak, Redken Deep Fuel, Nexxus Keraphix, Emergencee (and stuff like that).

No 2-Step, Duo-Tex, DRC. I guess the Closest thing I got is: Mega-Tek (which I plan to start using as a Protein DC'er).

 

[IDareT'sHair]

divachyk I was getting them (Just Like that) All the Freakin' Time....

I had to really make sure I was detangling all the way down to the NG.

I know what you mean. It made me Naseous to try to work them out. That right there is what DROVE ME to buy detangling products and to start detangling on soaking wet hair. Brownie518 (and others) helped me through that.

I feel your Pain. Some of them just can't be worked out, no matter how much Oil, Conditioner, Butter, Margarine, Crisco. It ain't movin'.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

divachyk Oh, Yeah, that Denman D-24 Double Row Detangling Comb also helped out alot too.

Because it gets all the Sheds out.

 

[divachyk]

IDareT'sHair - I will never again shampoo my hair unless I'm fully detangled. This is my first experienced with dreaded knots. It made me sick to my stomach. Brownie518 and I chatted via PM. She offered great suggestions but nothing conquered that third and final knot. It wasn't budging a'tall (at all). That's what I was dragging yesterday as I didn't want to face the chop demon. Lesson learned!

I will be investing in some pre-wash detangling products.

 

[divachyk]

@divachyk Oh, Yeah, that Denman D-24 Double Row Detangling Comb also helped out alot too.

Because it gets all the Sheds out.

IDareT'sHair - oh cool, thank you. My bone combs have helped a lot also but I still need something with extra umph. I'll give the denman a try. What's your best detangling product suggestion?

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Right Now I'm using at various times in no particular order of preference:

MOP (Modern Organic Product) Pear Detangler
QB Coco Tree Detangling Ghee
Marie Dean Mango Tango Detangler
Afro Detangling Spray
Afroveda's Moringa & Ginger Detangling Spray *love it, love it, love it* If she ever has a decent Sale I will stock up. Ran Out Tho'
Jasmine's Silk Detangler

I had to add a Detangling Product to my Regi To "Deal" with those Knots and Tangles.

Girl, I was desperate watching YT Videos and the Whole Nine. It makes you wanna CRY. (For Real)

I've been good on that for a minute now tho'.

ETA: I have 'It's a 10' but I've never tried it.

@divachyk

 

[IDareT'sHair]

sorry. double post.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

divachyk Gurl....You know how much I love my Bone Combs, but I had to have that Denman D-24 Double Row Detangling Comb to deal specifically with that particular issue.

It removes errrthang.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Used up 1 Tube Nexxus Keraphix. Have 2-3 Back Ups. Will put another Reconstructor into Rotation.

@mkd What You Doin'? Were you off? I had to Werk

lmao i did tell you. i thought thats why aveyou was having all those sales to get rid of old product cause she discontinued the theiry like a year ago
long as i dont see no mold

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@chebaby How you Gone See Mold in that Dark Bottle.

I had a Package in the mail from Saturday. My Saravun Stuff from Esty. YAY!

 

[mkd]

divachyk, I feel your pain. I think knots like that and poor detangling led to my set back and me cutting my hair back to shoulder length. I couldn't take the breakage anymore. I will never detangle like that again.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

mkd I Agree. I had a similiar experience.

But Ms. B Brownie518 pointed out several things I could do differently and it worked.

 

[Brownie518]

divachyk - Girl, that knot!!!! Glad you got rid of that joint!!

Hey, ladies. I'm at work, with a horrible attitude. I had to find a quiet conference room to hide in so I don't offend anyone with my funky self. I hope I get tomorrow off. I want to get some rest and wash my hair. It feels so good but looks horrible. I'm going to prepoo with CPR and my stank mix of JBCO, Amla, Brahmi, Emu, and hemp seed oils. Wash with Aveda DR and DC with Claudie's Deep Moisturizing.

 

[Shay72]

What's so crazy is my hair is getting hang time and I'm still trying to pull it back. Let me act like I'm not stupid and try to fully wear it down tomorrow. Besides I'm supposed to be giving my edges a break. I've officially been taking the viviscal for a month now. They say you don't really notice anything for 3 or 4 months. I used the shampoo for the 2nd time today. I was iffy about using it but it doesn't seem drying to my hair. I may eventually buy the conditioner and the scalp lotion too bc I want to go full force. I've been taking my silica pill too about 5-6 times a week too.

Has anyone seen the Keranique commercials?
