I KNOW!!:lol:....I found out about it from Semid5....she's one of my favorites...i like her personality:yep:....i had to try it...and i love it! It has a warming/stinging sensation...like..if you have really sensitive skin and a prick makes you cry...don't use it.

It smells like Red Hots!!!:lick:

PSA: For those of you who follow/were following my blog at SmilingElephant on Safari please check it out...i was able to upload my posts after downloading Chrome....i still however want to use the OnSugar one.

I'm not giving anything away - I have unopened product too as well as some that are half-full and a quarter. And I'm certainly not spending money shipping anything either.

I have to make a decision quickly so I think I'll make it a lot sale but it would have to a be a local pickup.

I don't have any suggestions for you on the DC. I like Hairveda's Strinilla but I'd say Darcy's Botanicals Pumpkin is pretty good too (get it). Shescentit get's great reviews on that Banana Brulee :yep:, and then there's Curl Junkie......

I don't know what's in Target. I haven't walked their hair isle in over a year.

well I wasn't talking about for free and what you have in the box?????

I have use those 2 before and thinking about getting them never tried darcy before.
I made it back to that dollar store that I told you all about and got as many 320z conditioners as they had. they also had put out the protien one to so I got my daughter one bottle of each. I guess I will end up giving one of mines to my mother. I hope they have some more when my grandfather and I go out on our date LOL.

I have the curl junkie and I try it again after my co wash tomorrow. I am back to baggying at night with strong root and haiveda whipped creme with castor oil in the mix. and co wash with the dollar store knock off of tresseme. I really liked it.
 
My hair is tangling badly in certain places. I'm sitting here with Nexxus Humectress on my hair - the remainder of the liter is going in the 'bye box'.

I'll clarify a few times after and maybe do a keratin treatment.

Waiting on my Hairveda order and thinking about my fall hair care needs - my hair is going into the fall dry.

Time to go back to using my spray leave in.
 
I'm back in this challenge ya'll. I just found out today that I can rock curly bangs which wasn't a goal or anything for me, but I took my hair out for a braid-out and the front part falls perfectly over my forehead. What a nice surprise. So, yeah, I'm very happy with my curly fro right now. :D
 
So I usually don't leave conditioner in my hair, but the other day I was at my SO's and didn't bring a leave in with me.

I left the conditioner in my hair and it feels darn good right now! I'll rinse my hair tonight, but I might do it again!

I think I'm going to take some of Napptural85's (from YouTube) regime. I have hair envy an might use her routine.

Also, I've never done an ACV rinse, but my scalp just never feels clean enough so I want to try one. How does one do these rinses?
 
have you trying clarifying or using a chelating shampoo for your scalp? That would work to remove any buildup. You can use a 10:1 ratio for ACV rinses. I believe that's right.
 
People use different amounts... I use 50/50 or 75/25
I put it in a spray bottle and spray then massage it
or put it in a basin and soak my head in it for a little while.
Then 15 mins later rinse
Also check a asplashofdr on yt her acv reggie is like mine

I've always been nervous about straight up clarifying shampoos because my hair is so dry. My moisture game just isn't tight enough yet lol.

I figured the AVC would be better because it can improve shine, an all that other good stuff it's supposed to do lol.
 
apple cider vinegar is very acidic, it will not help your dry hair if its too concentrated, it will harm it, and not all chelating shampoos are drying.
 
Nexxus Humectress on dry hair was a great softener. Left it on overnight but didn't baggy (gives me soggy itchy scalp) and comb detangled as I rinsed this morning - no more tangles and it alleviated the dryness.

Moisturized with Moringa Ghee and sealed with Mango Butter in small sections.

Okay so... Elucence Con, vo5 tea con, cassia oil, olive oil, shea butter
(ran out of aohsr) a while back so this became my dc. I haven't used it all month so I figured I'd finish it up. I noticed a little shedding that I haven't had all month so we shall see. I massaged it on my scalp too (who knows why) now I'm sitting with 2 plastic caps under a shower cap to dc. I'm soooo sleepy... Hopefully if I fall asleep with it in I'll have hair still when I wake up lol.
 
Hey ladies this thread needs more pics don't you think:grin:
Here are my 2 month pics....about the length of time since I've joined this challenge:yep:
Wet June18 2011.jpg June

Wet August21 2011.jpg August

This is my $5.00 length check dress:giggle:
 
I'll have to do another mini length check before I go in an install for the rest of the year. Hopefully when I take it down in December, I'll be a bit longer and maybe thicker. Idk if thicker is even possible lol.
 
co washed after baggy this morning and back in my curls that I missed so much if I find that this is harming my hair I will stop...
 
My hair has been neck length with a little bit in the back making shoulder length as far back as I can remember. It grows really fast, but breaks just as quickly. I thought my hair didn't grow until recently.

I am starting to retain some of my hair, and I feel like a fish out of water with longer hair. I really don't know what to do, what to expect, etc. Anybody else new to having hair, and don't really understand how to have long hair?

Can someone help me out? Now that my hair is between SL for the bangs, and Longest layer is at the shoulder blade, am I suppose to do something different. My hair is dryer at the long parts on the ends, the last three inches. I grew my hair with Shima oil, castor oil, coconut oil, potion, and butters but the ends are dry. I am thinking of trying glycerine, then sealing with grease. Is that ok on the ends?
 
count me INNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Hey!:wave:

The thing about long hair....that all us should keep in mind...is that the length of your hair is the oldest part of your hair...so treat it like antique lace...ESPECIALLY if you are relaxed!! If your length is suffering from dryness...invest in a creamy moisturizer...when i was relaxed my favorite was the Bee Mine Luscious moisturizer...as my hair gets longer i may go back to using this...another good one i always here great reviews about for the 3 yrs i've been on this board is the Elasta QP Mango Butter...and then what you can do after you apply that is seal it in with your favorite oil.

I know not too many ppl like protective styling but one thing that worked for me along w/the moisturizing and sealing is bunning or simply hiding my ends...when you're trying to grow to great lengths...this is gonna be your best friend:yep:

There is a debate on this board about whether or not frequent washing increases growth...personally speaking i don't know if it helps strands sprout from your head faster....but i do believe it aids big time with retention since water is the number one moisturizer:yep:...and i wouldnt do frequent washings with a shampoo to retain length bc it...takes out the moisture...hence the reason for conditioner.

Traycee's technique from long ago was to protect the ends throughout the week and enjoy your hair on the weekends...i did this when i was relaxed and it WORKED!

Sorry this is long but i hoped this helps somehow:)
 
So last nite i took time out to shampoo, detangle/deshed AND deep condition my hair....i notice its time to thoroughly detangle my hair when i start seeing little knots of hair forming at the end of my curls....and it usually starts happening around day 3 or 4 when i haven't detangled...so...i did that last nite and my hair feels SO happy!

I have been using the Mixed Silk almost exclusively for my daily styling...i'm ALWAYS on the run especially with my newfangled busy schedule and i don't have to take 10 minutes to rake gel and stuff through my hair....with the Mixed Silk i just co wash with my Suave,finger comb, and then rinse all of that out and slap the Mixed Silk in....i wear my hair in a puff or a curly fro and be on my way...sometimes i put my EcoStyler on my edges...but thats what i do on the daily now....so i think i'm gonna get more of it...and it defines my curls just perfectly...the only reason i'm keeping the Eco in rotation is because it gives weight to my hair in the front and makes it lay down more when i wear it down.

I discovered they sell the Suela y Canela deep conditioner in the big BSS i like to go to...so i don't have to order it online anymore!!! YAY!! In fact i used it last nite....the Mixed Silk Deep conditioner is amazing too:lick:...i want the whole line now!!...i don't have the shampoo.

I have the whole line and TBH...I won't repurchase once I use it all up. The leave in is okay, but it leaves my curls crunchy. Nothing to rave about with the shampoo. Still haven't used the DC and I'm in no hurry to use it either.
