MHM Hangout

While I'm waiting for my hair to define some more I'm sticking to rollersets and flat twist and the combination of the two.

Washed last night and put 3 flat twist in the back and orange perm rods in the front. Just need it to last me until wash day on Friday. I've got 2 workouts between now and then though :look:

I love wet sets and updos, yours are very pretty!

I have no excuses for not working out yet I don't do it everyday or every other day like I should. I always make excuses...its always I can't workout in the morning because of the coffee...or its I can't work out at night because of the wine, Lol. I gotta do better.

Girl coffee and wine are perfect excuses :lol: I don't want to work out either. But I dislike being extra pudgy more than I dislike working out :ohwell:

I feel you on waiting for curls to clump. I've been doing this since July and I'm ready for some definition already.

Faith, that looks absolutely beautiful. How can you feel that you are not making progress?
 
I did a dc when I got home from a business trip. Traveling for work can really mess up a good MHM schedule. I am going to do the full regimen today to get back on schedule.

Thank you HopefulOne.

I'm making progress in moisture and I am retaining. Don't get me wrong about that. I wasn't retaining jack last year. I am definitely glad to being doing better. And I'm not going to lie and say I'm not doing better as far as definition. It is just very slow. I swear my hair looks like it's clumping about the same as it was last month.
 
So I spoke/texted/whatever with DubaiDee and I promised her I would try something. So this Friday I am going to veer from my regimen. She wants me to clarify my hair with shampoo and then do the CLCT. Skip the conditioner and do the mudwash and then put on the gel.

So I will do the shampoo and the CLCT and the mudwash. I will have to see if I'm skipping the leave-in. If I don't have any more coils then I'm going to do whatever.
 
I am going to experiment with my clay mix a little bit. I tried cocunut mix which worked well. I am going to try heavy cream which has a fat content of 36% and a longer shelf life than coconut milk so I can customize my batches. I think that the fat content is important for moisturizing so I think the heavy cream should work well. I will report my results.

3c lo po total definition

Ooh, I can't wait to hear about the results!! When you say shampoo, do you mean like a store bought product that says "shampoo" on the bottle?? Sulphate or sulphate-free?

I will definitely let you know. I will take pictures of each step so she can see it.

She wants me to use a clarifying shampoo. Most of them have sulfates. I have ION Hard Water Shampoo, I think. That is a clarifying shampoo. It's rough on my hair. I told her I will be doing this one time. My hair knots up so bad with shampoo, even the gentle ones.

If we get snowed in tonight, I may do it tonight or tomorrow. We have a storm warning starting at 7 pm.
 
Today I decided to give the gel a break. I CW with diluted Tressame Naturals Perfectly Undone conditioner then diluted kckt and sealed with Camille Rose Moisture Milk. Surprisingly, the moisture milk sank right into my hair. Hopefully my hair stays soft because the Curlaide didn't do it in the past since my BC. I checked the ingredients on both and low and behold, the curlaide has coconut oil as the fourth ingredient while moisture milk has none. I only have about 1 tbsp left so I'll just put it in DDs hair and not repurchase.

Great! I have wanted to use my Redken Cleansing cream, its a chelating shampoo so this is good news. Its very gentle yet effective so I'll be happy to use it maybe twice a year.
