Who Else That Use Baggies.....

[kombov_dymond]

Have noticed DRAMATICALLY less hair shedding/breaking during washes?

I had about 5 broken pieces and shed 2 hairs. I'm used to SO much more. Especially little ends.

It's a wrap! I'm baggying all fall/winter!! /images/graemlins/clap.gif

Me...I get about 1-2 breaks a day compared to the 10-13 I was getting /images/graemlins/smile.gif
Also my shedding has gone from about 30-40 a day to about 15-20 a day.
The CO washes have been heaven sent too /images/graemlins/smile.gif

not me... i've experienced more breakage for some reason...

i think it's because i have hard water. i just ordered a Paragon shower filter today from homedepot.com. i hope this will help my hair get into better shape.

It's funny that this subject came up, Yesterday, I did my first wash after having the baggie in for 5 days. I was truly amazed at how strong my hair felt, there was hardly any shedding or breakage. I was telling my daughter about it because I couldnt understand why that was happening. I just couldnt understand how damp moist hair could be so strong after all those days under that bag. This method seems to be a keeper. I use my oil mixture on damp hair. Last week I bunned, this week I braided and loosely rolled it under the bag.

Ok, finally went and got my little baggies today. How do you ladies keep the baggies from slipping right off your hair?

I secure my baggies with a thick ponytail holder. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

I also noticed less breakage when using the baggie. I also moisturize all of my hair very well when it's in the baggie. I cover the rest of my hair with virgin coconut oil and Surge's Ultra Max, the same products that I use on the hair that's in the baggie.

I also noticed less shedding and breakage while doing the baggie method. I started off doing it at night and wearing a bun to work. I was pleasantly surprised how well this is working for me.

I cover my head with a plastic bag in the evening and sleep with it at night, when I combed out my hair on Tuesday, very little came out, as compared to when I combed my hair out on Sunday, before I washed it. It is very good.

Skinny hair elastics. I wrap mine around three times.

Okay why didn't I see this thread before I started another?! Anyhoo, I'm having more breaking too! Why?? I was thinking that maybe my hair needs to breathe. /images/graemlins/confused.gif Maybe being up is enough b/c some air can pass thru but my ends are breaking and they weren't before /images/graemlins/frown.gif . I think I'm done w/the baggie. I'll just load my ends up w/more stuff when I put it up. Maybe night time only or something. :/images/graemlins/perplexed.gif:

I mainly do this only at night unless I'm phonyponying /images/graemlins/ohwell.gif .

Sengs, your hair looks like it's really soft. Have you considered diluting a little of your oils with alot of distilled water?

I use mine on dry hair. My hair breaks too when I use straight oil on it.

I put my hair in the baggie method right after washing. I put my leave-ins and oils in my hair. So do u think it's the straight oils without diluting that could be causing some hair breakage too??? /images/graemlins/confused.gif But personally, after I apply oils on my hair, my hair is more manageable and prevents breakage. So maybe it is the hard water I have running outta my shower. /images/graemlins/ohwell.gif

 

[kombov_dymond]

It is either the hard water or all the oil. I notice almost no breakage when I dilute my oils as compared to too much when I don't dilute it.

I first noticed it when I used to do pre-poos on dry hair. I had extra shedding and breaking.

HTH

Can you tell that from the pics?? You're good /images/graemlins/wink.gif . It's super soft. It think the weight of the oil is too much. I diluted it today (w/o baggie) w/the conditioner. Last week I was using stay-sof-fro and oils, then later in the week I used world o' curls w/distilled water and other leave-ins (my random extras spray bottle /images/graemlins/ohwell.gif ). And I added these things to dry hair as well or hair that was still moist from the baggie.

 

[kombov_dymond]

Sounds good!

 

[Faith]

Sengs...cut out the World of curls and see if your ends are still breaking....

 

[candibaby]

I noticed that when I did the baggie method in october w/ braids and a phony puff. I think I might start doing it on the regular just because of that.. like go get a straight phony pony and wear it as a chignon every day.

Ok, I've been officially doing the baggie method for a few days now and I really like it. My ends stay moisturized and it looks like this is going to be a keeper for me! After my trim next month I think this will really help me with trying to not trim for a year afterwards. Go Baggie Method! /images/graemlins/clap.gif
