Thanks @divachyk I don't have a beauty supply store near where I live, so I might just have to go online. Have you experienced getting a lot of ssk's? I get them all over my head unfortunately and I've had to cut them... Idk what do in regards to that anymore but the amount I get is insane.

This was actually my biggest issue besides tangling the last time I attempted to transition and ended up relaxing out of frustration. I'm still following Komaza's reccomendations, however; the Damage Control Serum makes my hair dry unless I use it on my ends and the Shea Butter Lotion is not moisturizing enough. I need to build a different regimen and find really moisturizing products. My hair is more coarse than I thought which kind of sucks.

*Cackles* at your Excel Spreadsheet of Product Inventory!

I keep mine in all in my head. (no pun intended)

 

[IDareT'sHair]

I have a few tapiocas with the old label I can send you one.

@curlyhersheygirl

That would be great. No rush. I know you're busy.

Whenever you get around to it. I'll scratch it off my BF List.

Sorry Ms. Lady. No experience with Toni Dailey.

If you get 1 or all 3 please come back and give us a review.

Y'all I hadn't washed my hair for 3 weeks until last night. I did an over night DC wish Bee Mine Beautiful (on accident) and today I did my silk press.

I'm telling you, this "journey" is so easy for me now since I've decided to continuously do these silk presses. No one even knows I'm 11mths post unless I tell them.

I was doing them every 2 weeks but I'm thinking every 3 weeks is suitable as well.

My hair is returning back to normal. The less I manipulate it, the healthier it is. I'm barely shedding too.

@flyygirlll2
Sorry about your breakage. What are you using? I'm doing protein treatments like clockwork every 2-3 weeks. I'm using komaza protein strengthener too.

Last time I mixed it with BASK whiskey and it still worked wonderfully.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@Beamodel
Thank you for sharing your experiences with the Silk Press; It is very encouraging.

I need to get my technique together.

This is Great News!

You know I'm not a wig wearer although I tried and wasn't comfortable with it. Mastering this blow out and silk press has made me thoroughly enjoy my hair now.

Benefits of healthy natural hair yet the breeze and ease of straight hair.

 

[divachyk]

I've a bit out of touch with what's good with everyone since starting a new job --- @Beamodel, are you doing your own silk presses? I'm glad you've found something that works.

@IDareT'sHair, I can't remember half of what I got. Dh said the house looks like a retail store with all my stuff.

@flyygirlll2 I was getting SSKs in the nape area for a while but they aren't as bad as they use to be. I will occasionally find a SSK throughout my hair but it isn't often. I'm sure keeping my hair stretched and braided helps.

 

[Beamodel]

@divachyk

Yes, I'm going my own silk presses. I'm petrified to let another human being in my hair.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@Beamodel If I could master a successful Blow-Fry & Flat-Iron I would be most appreciative.

@divachyk Right when I think I got it all in my head, I come across another jar, bottle, etc...I didn't realize I had.

 

[Beamodel]

@IDareT'sHair

Try watching these two videos. This might help you master a blow out & silk press.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@Beamodel

These are both so Helpful. Thank you so much for posting.

I 'seldom' go on YT. Will keep trying.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@Beamodel

I know they say an overnight DC'ing Rx helps with the Blow-Dry/Flat Iron process.

My goal (right now) is to do it once per month at the beginning of each month to see how/if I'm retaining.

 

[Beamodel]

@IDareT'sHair
Hmmm I didn't know that. Last night I accidentally did an overnight one because I fell a sleep.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@Beamodel

I bet that BM DC'er did your hair right. I love that stuff.

Yep. That's the rule

@IDareT'sHair

Yup, that DC is nice. I like how soft my hands feel after applying it too.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@Beamodel

Yasss BM is very nice. I recently pulled out the Luscious Butter and fell in love all over again.

 

[natura87]

My hair is doing okay.

I cut my finger making dinner so I had to get some stitches on my middle finger. I am twisting my hair up for the week and trying to avoid my middle finger sucks. I am using Soultanicals Can't Believe It's Knot Butta. Becuase of my injury it will take forever.


Target ships internationally so I will be able to buy hair products. Im pretty excited about that.

Hi ladies! @Beamodel, read your suggestions on keeping the hair straight thx. i don't do it often because i workout everyday and i'm a head sweater but anything helps.
@IDareT'sHair, i know you will get what you want on that list! i haven't started one and will probably only get HV green butter. i have so much don't need anything nnd i have things i don't like anymore, the HV red tea moisturizer and whipped cloud are things i need to use up.

I am getting this!

 

[Beamodel]

APB sugar cookie crunch scent smells just like Hairveda Vatika Frosting.

What an amazing combination..

@Ltown

If you try it, please keep us posted.

@Beamodel I fell off a bit with doing the protein treatment every two weeks. At first I was, and things were going well actually; then I just veered off into using other things.

Are you putting the protein on your new growth? I'm finding that protein on my new growth dries it out. My relaxed hair does fine with protein, but my natural hair does better with very little protein and more moisture. My birthday is in 2 weeks and I want to straighten it but I'm afraid it will be a poofy mess.

 

[Beamodel]

@flyygirlll2

I put the protein on my new growth as well as relaxed hair. I don't get a dry feeling though. Maybe you need to clarify first perhaps.

Try straightening your hair with the two methods I posted up thread. Mines comes out just like the ladies hair in the demo. Silky, bone straight. No poofiness whatsoever.

 

[flyygirlll2]

@Beamodel I typically do clarify first, then follow up with a protein treatment. This week I tried the Neutral Protein Filler with ORS Pak and initially my hair felt soft/strong but later on my new growth felt very dry so idk.

If I decide to straighten, I will look at those methods as a reference point, thank you. I don't need it to be bone straight, just straight enough where it's manageable.
