I used the Nupur henna on Monday and I didn't have to detangle at all. My hair is soft but the color is kinda subtle. Maybe because I didn't use a whole pack cos it was so expensive ($9.99)

You guys....
Idk what the heck is going on....i decided to co-wash/detangle my hair in the shower yesterday morning and....i had small clumps of hair just falling out. It was a lot more hair loss than i usually get when i don't comb my hair for a week....i was startled. Im thinking it stress...idk.
I was going to put it in twists today but then i had a panic attack and so now i'm just resting.

jerseygurl what the heck!! where did you get your's from? I only pay $3.99 for mines http://www.ayurnaturalbeauty.com/products/Godrej-Nupur-Henna-Mehandi-9-Herbs-Blend.htmlI used the Nupur henna on Monday and I didn't have to detangle at all.

I get the 150g so that is why it cost $3.99 I loved the color.

SmilingElephant I am so sorry to hear this. I hope it is not nothing serious. Just calm down there must be an answer. just take it hair by hair to make sure you don't have any bald spots in your hair.

Are you under any kind of stress?@Shadiyah...i checked...i haven't found any bald spots....i was really startled tho. I didn't even deal with it today
girl it's the same one. Fool is ripping people off talmbout it's got 9 different herbs so it's more expensive. So why did I see Nupur in another indian grocery for $2.99
? I'm about to go and stock up before he too changes his price.

This challenge is still open. You look like you are already BSL but the BSL 2012 challenge is still open if you are interested.
Most challenges are still open as far as I know.

ok, I really don't know after how someone becomes a member of this forum and see all that it has to offer can ever go anywhere else again lol I am so use to the flow I find it very hard to read others that try to offer what we have here lol.
Well my hair has been tied up all day today. That amla oil was too strong for my nose so I had to wash it out of my hair and just stick with my straight vatika and jbco.

I just thought about something. I keep counting from my cut date and that is wrong for me because once I cut my hair I liked it so much I cut it again the next month and I didn't let my hair start growing back in until Feb so that is my mark of 3 yrs growing. and the end of it at that. or end of Jan because that is when I did my last cut is the end of Jan.

I am so nervous y'all! I am going to a stylist for the first time in a year to get a trim bc it has been way too long (7 months since my BC, where I cut it myself) 
Last time, the lady cut off WAY more than I asked and turned my angled bob into a regular one 
I haven't been to the beauty shop since I am truly terrified of walking away with a cut instead of a trim and getting heat damage (I 
my precious curls) I know I need to DC well beforehand and be very clear about how much I want taken off...but I am still scared to death

I think you should wait until you really feel comfortable with who ever you are going to because if you are feeling this way there is no need taking a chance. Just my thought.

Yeah, I got mine from amazon for less than 5.00. I think it was 3.99 b/c I almost ordered from the place above, but ended up using Amazon so I could buy using 1-click on my phone and I wouldn't have done that if the price was higher.

Shadiyah napbella- I am really re-thinking going Several of my friends go and they don't have heat damage...my BFF just went for the first time and her hair looked lovely. She got an inch cut off, but my friend doesn't really do in-depth hair care and doesn't care about length. I am thinking if I do decide to go, I will tell them I don't want more than a 1/2 inch trimmed and want to get a trim facing the mirror.
Do you think that is enough instruction/precaution? Even with several friends good experience, I am still gun-shy I just don't think I can trim my own hair well I am planning to buy the splitender so I can trim my hair myself every three months pretty evenly and without losing much length

LilMissSunshine5 you have to go with your gutt feeling. I trim my own hair and it is fine for me because I don't wear my hair straight ever. So I trim my curls. Plus I use to do hair so many years ago so I do know how to do a basic cut. If you really feel that you get them to give you what you want I say go for it but make sure you take someone with you. explain to them when you first get there that you are very picky and that you will stick to your guns and see how they react to you from those words that will tell you if you need to get up and walk out.

On a happy hair journey
I'm back. Sooo I have been mean to my hair. Was trying to use up some products and quickly remembered why I stopped using some of the stuff. I unintentionally gave myself a bit of protein overload. 
Even though my hair is on the finer side it doesn't need the heavier protein treatments or leave-ins. So now I'm in recovery mood by moisturizing and sealing everyday. It's been about a week and my hair is starting to feel a bit better. Thankfully, my hair isn't snapping off but the ends feel a bit brittle. *sigh*
Anyone have any suggestions for a light protein for when hair becomes over-moisturized? Aphogee is the devil for my hair so that's out.
Anyway, I didn't make APL this month (or at least I don't think I did.) I'm still aiming for BSL next Dec. 2012 so we'll see how that goes. I think I might have to push my goal of WL to 2014.

Happy New Year's Day!!! I'm protective styling in either a bun or flat twists. I'm natural but have been straightening my hair to reduce my ssk issue and because it's too cold to wear wet hair.
I also have my regimen down to shampooing (product build up) and DCing every other week. Once I straighten my hair I add Argan and Avocado oils to my hair then put it up. I'll add extra oils as needed during that time. My hair seems to have recovered from my henna fiasco but only time will tell.

Have you ever tried the Aubrey Organics Glycogen Balancing Protein a.k.a. AOGBP? It's supposed to be great for balancing your moisture/protein level & I love it.

I'm natural & have been thinking about adding henna to my routine. Do you mind sharing your experience? TIA...
Happy New Years all! I'm still hanging in this challenge. I also joined the 12 inches in 12 months. Actually I only need about 8.5-9 to make WL truly doable in 2013. Anything extra will be icing on the cake.
I'm also in the no heat for 2012 challenge. Actually that one's too easy for me. I'm on a growth mission & I want to grow my hair to WL before I use heat so that I can know what my true texture looks like. I don't want to risk any heat damage.
Oh, I'm also in the C&G 2012 challenge. I'm not really following the true C&G method, though. I'm just wearing my hair in plaits & wearing wigs, scarves, etc. I was supposed to join the Ayurvedic challenge for 2012 but I keep forgetting to go back to the thread. Maybe I'll do that next.
So...what other challenges are you ladies in for 2012? What are you doing different this year?

Sorry to hear that. I'm terrified of protein overload so I always use new protein products with (mixed in) my moisturizing DC.
For light protein, I like Motions CPR (in the bottle), ORS Conditioning Pak, an egg added into my moisturizing DC or about 1/2 cup of full fat plain yogurt added into my moisturizing DC.
