I finished up a bottle of KBB hair nectar in pomagrante guave scent. Only 50-11 more open bottles to finish.

I'm not sure how I feel about my hair. In one respect its really cute-nicely defined, each curl separated, and a combo of my natural curl & the twist out pattern. On the other hand-I'm scared it looks like wet dog or a jheri curl. I pulled my bangs back and it helps it look better but I'm still a lil unsure.

Just finished washing my hair and now im dcing. my homemade shampoo is a keeper. It cleans my hair and makes it soft. Also wdt is a keeper it just soaks in my hair and doesn't sit on top. I love my cj but im using way too much. My bottle is half gone already and that won't do. I will figure out something before october. So far here is what im sticking with for fall and winter.

poo- homemade
dc- wdt
sealant- bsp
leave in-?
conditioner-?
moisturizer-? it maybe just water, haven't decided yet.

Your hair does not look like a wet dog. A wet dogs hair is sticking to its body and stankin. Your hair is beautiful vonnie, remember that.

I eyeball it but about 2 tablespoons of suave tropical coconut shampoo, about 1 table spoon of shea oil, 7oz of warm spring water and 8-10 drops of tea tree oil. I put it all in a container and shake it up. I use the whole thing on my hair. It feels a little funny when i put it on but when i rinse it my hair feels soft and clean like my hair. Not coated or waxy feeling.

 

[mkd]

La, that sounds really nice!

Does anyone know any good twist out tutorials on youtube?

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Are all the larger products sold out? That is the only one i want to try and im not paying $4 something for 2 oz when i can get the larger size for a few dollars more. I mean why even keep having the sale if no one can take advantage of it.

The Only thing I looked at were the Full Sizes.

I managed to get 1 of the 8 ounce Restorative DC"ers last week. I had the Jojoba Conditioner in my cart, but I don't need it.

And I have the Buttercream Leave-In that got good YT reviews, but I haven't purchased.

I think the Shipping is a little high.erplexed I'll look at the Sealant another time.

I usually just watch anyone that comes up when I search. I don't really remember who I liked. Don't disregard some of the "shabbier" looking ones because I've found some great info from them as well.

Girl, I learned my Lesson on this one the hard way.

I'm glad I finally managed to overcome that. It drives you 'batty'

It takes focus & determination to stick to only those things that are open.

btw: Your Hair looks Very Nice.

No, but my one friend who introduced me to LHCF (and has recently joined) she makes & loves it.

I don't think she comes in our thread tho'.

I think we are too intense for her.........

*too many products*

eta: i ain't mixin' nothin'

 

[La Colocha]

I may try it, using my he leave in instead of kknt. I don't mind a little mixing but i don't want to have to make all my products every week.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

T how much is the shipping?

It was $7.50 for that one item...................

 

[mkd]

Vonnie, I know you have told me this before, but do you do flat twists? How many twists do you make? Che and Fab and anyone else who twists too?

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Oh Well Ladies... I just put in a little HV Whipped Ends and tied my hair down with a Silk Scarf.

Nothing much going on....on my end.erplexed *well...at least i haven't bought anything outta sheer & utter boredom*

It's kinda 'cool' here today low 70's. I think it was like 97-98 just yesterday (so now today it feels cold).

Anyway, I think I'll use up 1 or 2 things next wash day. I may do my Henna early next week since I am on vacay and can spend all day on it.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

I e-mailed Afroveda & Mozeke to ask if they plan to have L.Day Sales....

*i know. sad. don't judge me*

Actually, it's working out pretty good for me (so far). I bought exactly what I wanted (thought I needed). No 'real' implusive purchases.erplexed

Although my HV Cart keeps growing.....

That Haul will all depend of what she's offering....

 

[Loves Harmony]

Well I decided to go to New Orleans for the weekend since i dont stay to far (Biloxi). While i was out shopping at Target i decided to pick up a bottle of Shea Moisture Deep Treatment Masque and 2 bottle of KCKT. Right now im under a dryer with the Deep Treatment mask on.. It doesnt have alot of slip but i hope the outcome is great.

I did it was good, kind of like using Giovanni direct leave in which has aloe vera.

I did kind of a ghetto version with water, he leave in and africa's best herbal oil. It felt good going on. Waiting to see how it dries.

 

[Vonnieluvs08]

Vonnie, I know you have told me this before, but do you do flat twists? How many twists do you make? Che and Fab and anyone else who twists too?

I tried it again a few weeks ago. I did 2 rows since my head is small especially at nape. I think 12-15 total. It came out decent. Didn't last as long as my other twist outs even retwisting at night. I couldn't get the spiral pattern I got the first time. I'll try it again in a month or so.

 

[mkd]

I just did about 20 twists, I will see how it turns out in the morning.

Hi MKD...
I just favorited some videos.. we must've been thinking along together.. you doing braids and me doing twists.. well the braid outs sound easier because people seem to only do 4 or 6.. that's what was gonna try... but these are my fave twist out tuts...

My hairdresser Rachel's (Flat twist technique) MKD you should try her one time!!!

hi ladies, i know no one is up lol.
today i purchased aveda be curly curling lotion. i never purchased it before because i could never figure out the difference between it and the curl enhancer. i used a little bit of it on a section of wet hair and it dried really really doft and elongated. so it seems much different so far. the curl enhancer leave behind a tiny crunch and it shrinks my hair. but you only get 3 something ounces with the lotion. that sucks.
tomorrow i have to go out early so i will co wash with trader joes tea tree(should finish it off) and then do a front puff with the be curly lotion. a front puff is where the puff sits so far up front that it looks like bangs. i love doing that.

when i come home i will slather my hair in mhc olive you deep conditioner for an hour while i clean. i might not shampoo, i might just rinse it out. then i will twist using kbb milk as a leave in and ori organics mango curler and ori organics curl styling butter to twist. i will leave the twist in for maybe 3 days before i do a twist out.

Hey ladies, not up to much today. I need to go get a little spray bottle to make my leave in up for the week. I think it will be ok for a week at a time without preservatives. My hair feels pretty good today. I used cold water to seal as a final step after rinsing my dc. Im thinking of going into mini braid mode for the fall winter and redo my hair every two weeks. I won't do them really tiny but smaller than i have been. I may do some today since my hair is stretched already.

So will you just re-braid every two weeks or does also include washing & dc-ing every two weeks as well?

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Afternoon Ladies:

It's my day to sit here in my Snuggie! Yeah....I pulled it right on out. It feels "Fallish" Here today. It's sunny & warm but it has that Fall-Feel.

I may even put on a pot of tea.

I did get an answer from Mozeke and she won't be having her Sale until October.

I rubbed on some Claudie Scalp Exlir today. And I am so happy that I will be wig-less for the week. YAY!

I may pick up another jar of Ends Insurance #1 from Claudie since she's having 20% off tomorrow & Tuesday. Prolly nothing else tho'.

I will still wash and dc every week. Just redo the braids every two weeks.
