[divachyk]

Sealed with a blend of avocado, gleau and buriti oil.

Will spritz with my tea/conditioner/oil mix and use my jbco oil mix on my scalp and ends. Will probably put my ORS scalp protector on my ends as well so its one less step to do on relaxer day

ETA: will use CHI silk infusion on my ends instead.

Starting my plain coconut oil vs. HV Vatika Frosting experiment. It will continue until Mother's Day. My first impressions are that I forgot how coconuty coconut oil smells, but the smooth texture is different and (possibly) better than Vatika Frosting. I'll keep this thread updated.

Used coconut oil, Entwine butter cream, and BASK sevenfold butter on my length today.

Skipping sulfur use this week as I accidentally scratched my scalp and I have a sore.

LCO'd with Bee Mine Deja's Hair Milk, Luscious, and GSO!

When are you going to switch to spring/summer scents from your fall/winter pumpkin spice? Or, do you rock ps all year long?

I don't believe in rocking what everyone else is wearing based on season, so I will rock pumpkin spice till I am tired of it then switch to whatever else catches my fancy. It's the same way that I rock cooler toned colors all year round though they are not the 'fashion' all year round.

I like to stand out .

Used APB Buttercream leave in spray, hair cream, and butter on ends. A little Vatika Frosting on length.

Spritz my hair with a little water.
Moisturized with PBN murumuru moisture milk.
Sealed with some raw unscented Shea butter.
I find my hair stays better mosuturized with water, cream and a butter or just cream and a butter. Last week I experimented with plain water and a butter. At first it felt great, but I find I had severe rebound drying from that. My hair would feel super soft the first day then the next day it will be like straw, just dry, dry, dry. Usually even if I don't moisturize in 2-3 days, it will feel ok. It wouldn't be soft and supple, but I could still work with it. My hair ain't about that water and oil life for moisture.

 

[Beamodel]

Applied APB Cookie Dough Spray
Sealed w/ APB Ayurvedic Birthday Cake Cream

Same here. I need to have a cream/lotion. My hair doesn't play that water and oil mess.

DoDo I need some more of that Pumpkin Spice in my life. That was the first scent I tried and it's still my fav.

I Agree.

Very Good Observation.

Same for me (and I'm relaxed) I need a Crème or Lotion to accompany my Butter or Oil and Spritz.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Used:
Strong Roots Red Pimento Hair Oil

 

[sexypebbly]

Last night used APB cookie dough hair spray and hairitage hydration caramel frappe

 

[faithVA]

It was wash day yesterday. Used Nature's Blessing on my crown and ends. Used Hairveda Shikakai after my leave-in. I like the Shikakai, I think it works better for me on dry hair though. I think the Natural Oasis softening balm works better for me on wash day.

I think I will hold onto both of these right now and try some other oils in my stash.

I have observed the same thing in my hair. When using just water and oil/butter my hair is dry and stiff by the end of day 2. Using a cream and butter can maintain moisture for even up to a week at times .

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Used: The Pomade Shop's Peppermint Pomade (w/Sulfur)

 

[divachyk]

DoDo IDareT'sHair Froreal3 ronie, I echo the same. I get extreme rebound drying when using water. I definitely have to layer other products along with it to make my hair feel halfway decent. I sometimes feel my hair does better if I eliminate water spritzing altogether and just go straight to cream / oil combo.

The odd thing is: water, oil, cream works great on wash day. I have no idea why I can't make it work throughout the week. I suppose, on wash day my hair loves it because it's soaking wet when I apply the oil vs. lightly misted. Seeing how I have low porosity hair, lightly spritzing isn't really moisturizing my hair, thus the oil seals out the cream.

That's a lot of rambling but that's my logic anyway.

 

[Babygrowth]

Just based my scalp with ORS scalp protector.

 

[Rozlewis]

Applied TPS Rosemary pomade to scalp.

 

[Beamodel]

Sprayed APB cookie dough spritz
Applied APB caramel crunch pudding

From relaxed to natural, from lopo to hipo, same results huh? Ain't that something. I wonder what the common denominator is?
Thank God we know what works.
