I think someone asked before but has anyone done this method while their natural hair is in twists?
Also, does anyone protective style instead of wash and go?

Ladies you don't have to do this regimen everyday!! The 7 consecutive day thing is just a recommendation for those who want to reach max hydration faster and even those people who finish it taper off into doing the regimen anything from every 3-7 days with great results. So if you are interested in this regimen, please don't let the 7 consecutive day introduction deter you - it's not mandatory.
Personally the most I will do it is 2x a week and my hair has made significant changes for the better! I find that overall this process takes about the same amount of time as my old regimen and I love how each step has a purpose of either opening my cuticle or filling it with moisture. Also once you reach max hydration you won't even have to do each step for the recommended time anymore - MsDeeKay (on Youtube) mentioned that NOW she can do each step back to back in the shower and can be DONE in 30mins total! Of course her hair is short & low density so that plays a factor but basically this means that it will get easier & faster for everyone as the hair reaches max hydration.
I forgot to post pics of my twistout with the Blue Roze Beauty Flaxseed Cream Gel.

Finished day 2 of mhm. So far so good. Has anyone tried terressentials clay was or mud puddle?

Reading IS fundamental. lol.
I thought I had to do this for 7 days straight.
My hair was dry dry dry and wiry and hard
I will say that my hair is now very very soft. It is the products and my new technique All along I think I was just using shampoo and then some shea moisture conditioner and shea butter.
Im not sure what my hair type is now. I used to categorize myself as 4c but im not so sure anymore. Actually Im going to quit worrying about it.
I think I posted this pic before.. this is my hair with the clay in it.

It looks very nice. You have great definition and it looks so moisturized.
Where did you get the flaxseed cream gel from? Ur twistout looks soooo soft.
So, my verdict is this really fixed my fine 4a hair. I was really hit or miss with the 7 day challenge, but I now realize why this helps. When I was relaxed, I was more moisturized because my low porosity hair was adjusted by the relaxer. Therefore, if I moisturized and sealed, I got consistent results. (of course the relaxer was thinning my hair, hence my discontinuing)
Alternating between Cherry Lola treatment and Henna/coconut cream has really been beneficial for my hair. And my curls are so consistent that I've now noticed the very front of my hair is almost 3c and the sides and back are 4a.
Had to cut off another 1 inch of knots yesterday. Was sad, but my thickness is preserved better as you may see in the pix. Plus with less dryness, I may be able to grow it faster.
First pic is pre MHM hair
Second pic is today, post MHM hair
Both are braid outs. I now use much less product. I do hope this will calm my knot situation, as that is the major damager of my hair and my aim is still to grow my hair past APL. Hopefully with increased moisture retention comes increased ability for hair to absorb Henna. Giving it a year. Either way, using products that require no/limited overseas shipping is a blessing.
Dammit, I did the clay before the dc. Oh well.
I've been doing the clay before the DC w/o any issues. However, I think my hair prefers the DC 1st and then the clay
[USER=149048 said:Honey Bee[/USER];20692277]Oh snap, I think I made a discovery! Ok, so Pinke Cube has cited Aketafitgirl as inspiration for the method. Going back through Aketafitgirl's vids, she realized she had high porosity hair pretty early on. (wk7 of her cg method vids, if anyone's interested) I searched for this information because I'm wondering if my natural hair might be hi po.
Her solution is a regimen similar to Pinke Cube's iteration, but different in one important way: her first step is an (strong-looking) ACV rinse that she leaves in for 30-60 min!
But since her hair is healthy and lush, I just might give it a try. I'll use a weaker solution and leave in on for 30 min.
The rest of the reggie is the same, btw. 1. ACV rinse, 2. steam in KCKT, 3. mud wash (Terressentials in her case), 4. l-i, KCKT, and 5. gel, KCCC. It looks like Pinke Cube just amended it for lo po hair, still a valuable service to the natural hair community.
faithVA, You're absolutely right, duh @ me! My eyes just skimmed right over it cuz I thought it sounded crazy. I've been using a very diluted solution and for way shorter.Pinkecube did include the strong ACV mix in the regimen as an option for step 1. Is that the same thing you are referring to?
Option 1 is BS or ACV or alternate.

I'll leave my last post so people can read the exchange.
