Why do I have a migraine?
not sure if I will do my hair. I took something. Hopefully it kicks in soon.

I hopped in the shower. Cowashed with Oyin Mint cowash. That mint hits different when you’re surrounded by steam. Then conditioned with PJN Shea Mint conditioner and photogenic again.
I wanted to add something under but didn’t feel like dealing with the what if it curdles so I stuck to just using it alone.
under the dryer. Gonna try for 20 min stretches at a time.

Thanks @GettingKinky stress of working and salty chips as a quick snack did me in.

It looks great! I can see how it’s clumped your hair more than usual. Totally understand if that’s not your visual preference.

Do you apply it the same way you apply your other products that don’t clump your hair as much?
Bette Davis Eyes

Same way. Its just so heavy that the strands stick together. @GettingKinky @toaster
The consistency is like a thick gooey butter. Which I hate, LOL

Why am I looking at buying this expensive K18 keratin bond rebuilder treatment???? I don’t need it. I don’t chemically process my hair and I have olaplex for my damaged ends.

You don’t need it! Stick with olaplex and you’ll be fine.
In 2/3 years people may be cutting their hair because this stuff caused more damage. Wait it out.

@GettingKinky also there’s not 1 person on their Instagram that doesn’t have heat damaged or chemically processed hair.
Even they aren’t marketing it towards you.

You’re right I don’t need to experiment on my hair. But they are marketing to virgin hair as well

I have half of a huge bottle of ICH sitting in my shower that I need to use up. I think I’ll try UFD/ICH/MD this weekend.
I also have a small bottle of ICH under my sink. Once I finish these I think I’m done with ICH. I really like it, but I prefer jello shot, and I want to stick to black owned products.

I pay around $150. I tip $10.00, $20 when it looks extra nice.

The Doux Mousse Def, I think
My doctor complimented my wash n go a few days ago. She said there was no frizz and I thought, Are we looking at the same hair. She asked me what gel I used, and I told her Uncle Funky's Daughter. She got a kick out of the name. She's typically a straight haired natural. Here's my doctor's visit hair.
In other news, I reset my hair. I did the whole shebang, washed, conditioned, detangled, and and set it with UFD. I still can not get a super defined WNG on the days I do more than finger detangle. My hair poofs out from the brush, the gel calms it down a bit, then the elements do their work and I'm back to a curly fro in two days. I think I may try to condition again after I've detangled and see if that helps.

At what stage are you using your brush? Which brush?

I have used a brush to detangle my hair when wet once and it didnt disturb my curl pattern. The brush I used was this one ,https://www.fhiheat.com/collections/unbrush
I cant use a brush if i want perfect curls. If I do use a brush my hair stays in the elongated wave shape which results in a shorter washngo cycle. I finger detangle throughout the whole wash day. @shebababy
I only use a brush when Im going to twists or braids to unclump my hair to have smooth detangle strands

I have that brush in my collection but I haven't gotten around to using it on my hair yet. It works great for my daughter's hair but she has a completely different type of hair and she's still in pigtails, lol. I'll give it a whirl on my next heavy duty detangling day.
This time I used the Red Tangle Teezer for thick and curly hair. I detangle while I still have conditioner in my hair.

usually i wet my hair and prepoo with conditioner to detangle, then i wet my hair and add my cleanser. As im doing that im finger detangling. Then I add my conditioner and finger detangle as Im adding. I let that sit and wash dah body. Rinse the conditioner out and finger detangle as Im doing it. Then I add UFD to the sections and get out ( sometimes). Then finish styling out of the shower.
I have in the past, added all my stylers in the shower and then finished styling out of the shower so i can see what im doing.
The one time I used the unbrush it was at the conditioner step. After I let it sit, I went section by section with the brush. Then wet, added UFD and then proceed to set my style.
The one time I tried the tangle teaser new brush after rinsing the conditioner out, I lost all the curls but the hair elongated into waves. I got some back when I added the UFD but it wasnt like it was prior to the brush

@shebababy
I'll try the prepoo method next time. I think my curls need a longer time to settle before I go in with the gel. Brushes tend to take much less time to detangle for me, so hopefully the unbrush (or the five other brands of brushes I decided to buy) will work out for me using this technique.

I just find finger detangling better for me at curl setting than the brush. The brush tends to poof me into waves @shebababy which isnt bad, just doesnt last as long for me

I wonder if the bristles are too small and compact. I had that issue when trying to use combs that have lots of teeth and they are close together. I do my detangling during the conditioning step as well.
ETA: I was using a wide tooth comb, then upgraded to the Unbrush @Bette Davis Eyes mentioned, now I use the Kamaleje paddle comb (looks like a brush to me).

@shebababy your hair looks great! I don’t see any frizz either.
I can’t brush my hair after I apply my stylers if I don’t want my hair to get frizzy.
But I can brush with LOTS of conditioner and LOTS of water. The brush elongates my curls and makes them look wavy, but then I rake when I style my hair and the curls shrink up and lose a lot of the elongation.

This is day 6 hair and I have this section in the back that doesn’t blend with the rest it’s just hanging too low. I just got my haircut not even 3 weeks ago. Is this normal?
