@Kerryann The red bottle: I had a bottle of that laying around the house it says its an oil but its very watery not sure what to do with it lool. How do you use it?
@Aggie - Your hair spas sound divine! Any chance of booking an appointment for my head
@TheNDofUO What damage? Yeah I love the flat iron/sleek look too, im a reformed weekly heat user, but gave it up for gym + stretching relaxers
Someone asked earlier about about vits. I use a health store brand Hair, Skin and Nails tabs with good results; almost identical to Nioxin. The frugal lady in me wouldnt let me buy Nioxin I saw the price tag and almost fainted
P.S Weave checking is def a compliment!!
too cute, too cute. You are funny!

Ladies, I am taking myself out of this group due to cutting off all of my relaxed hair. My hair was falling out like crazy from breakage. I noticed that only my relaxed hairs were breaking, so i got rid of them.

what is going on? did you just relax? if so, neutralize again, wash with moisturizing poo and use moisturizing dc.
is it a protein issue,weak, mushy, too stretchy
clarify and do a protein treatment asap

The new Ion detangler is the bomb.com... I have never seen my hair curlying as it was yesterday ( I have a play in section behind my ear that i had to take 3 braids out to play with or these braids are coming out)... Plus it s paraben free... Has any of you used it before? And the smell is to dye for!!!, I think it will be in my staple products for moisturizing (maybe will add AVJ to it)

I chelated last night. Then I did the porosity test and my hair sunk so fast you would have thought it was lead. The hair higher up on my head is low porosity but I guess the rest is from my pre-HHJ days. I washed with a moisturising shampoo. Then I did a protein DC with egg, honey, CON Argan oil Intensive Conditioner and ORS Hair Mayo. Put a cap on and had a nap. Apparently, my scalp gets hot enough to cook eggs which... Ew. Then Porosity control (because I need it) then a mix of hairveda sitrinilla and affirm positive link for moisturising. Less breakage but still some more than normal. Will see how it goes

Its a UK store though, but these tabs are great
lovely_locks Were you transitioning?
TheNDofUO What exactly went wrong? Back track when did the breakage start? After rinsing or when your hair was dry? Just continue to try and get the protein/moisture balance under control and reduce the breakage
P.S I've never messed around with porosity control I cant quite grasp when I would need it. I tried an ACV rinse when I had excessive flyaways and only needed to do this once in the last 6 months.

U re right GIJane... But I was thinking it would help with porosity control but then I think it already does that... How well probably the mixologist in me just acting up

Poutchi how does avj help with porosity control. Does it open or close the cuticles? I thought that it was a moisturizer.

hmmm I must be wrong then,... I have always used it to close cuticles because of it's acidic ph level...

I need to drink more water so I will focus on that... tonight I'm scalp massaging with JBCO Red Pimento Oil. I still have my yarn braids in two months later (trying to find the best time to take them out) and I have about an inch of new growth... I'm pretty happy about that but I want to see exactly how much I retained when I take my braids out... I think I will try to push the 3 months and then when it's Easter get rid of the braids, but I will redo my edges.

Hello! Sorry I've been mia. Studying for the MCATS is taking a toll on my sleep schedule. I'm still stretching and will be 42 weeks tomorrow. I just recently washed my hair and put it up in cornrows to keep my mind (and my hands) off of it. Hope you guys are well!!
