Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

It's one of the best DCs I've ever used. I'm SO mad that I used all mine up in the challenge though. I'm trying my best not to buy any since I have other DCs I can use, but I miss it so :sad:

I am going to try it. I bought the Kenra conditioner instead. I like that its thick. It makes my hair feel so so. I really,really, really like the Taliaah Waajid conditioner. So when I do try this Silk Element out I will be comparing it to that.

overnight conditioning does nothing for my hair

I've never tried it even though people rave about it. My scalp starts to burn if I keep anything on it too long. So I have been afraid to try this. And I will follow my instinct and skip it.

Why did I relax my hair today? I looks so thin. :-(. So I'm not going crazy, my hair did thin. Good thing I got my thyroid checked this morning...

I don't really like the results of re-braiding or re-twisting a twistout or a braidout. my hair gets far too stretched and looks weird to me. i don't know why I did that last night and I know what happens. from now on, just gonna stick with my satin bonnet method.

another hair RT: what in the hayell am I gonna do to my hair for this weekend? I'm in a play and I'm helping orchestrate a black student leadership conference. I need something that'll stay cute Friday-Sunday. The director of the play seems to want it curly/nappy. flexi-rod set? braid n curl? argh.

Tried Silk Elements Megasilk Moisturzing treatment and it was THE BOMB!!!!!!!
AND IT SMELLS DELICIOUS!!!! Why did I not try this before. I am glad I got it for 6.99 instead of the reg price of 10.99
I can't wait for it to go on sale again so I can get 3 more.

Whoever has not tried this needs to get it.
Myjourney2009 I don't know how long you left yours on. I use the Conditioning self heating cap and I walk around doing my house chores, I find that when I leave it on longer, THE SILKIER My hair is (I leave it on for about 2 hours). And yes it does smell delicious. :) I love it. I have one tub open and one new tub. I pray it goes on sale soon :pray:

@JJamiah

I left mine on for 15 min no heat then 20 min with heat. SCORE!!!! I have one of those caps but couldn't find it :sad:.

I hope it goes on sale soon as well. I was surprised to see the reg price is 10.99. Everytime I have seen it before the price was 7.99 and 6.49 with the card.

I got mine from the Sallys in Queens I have to take 3 trains and a bus :spinning:. It takes only over a bit for than an hr so its not too bad.

We voted no for the No Pass Needed for Staples. If you haven't used your April pass then you are ok until Saturday.

That Shea Moisture Raw Shea Butter Moisture Retention Shampoo is the best natural and sulfate free shampoo that I have ever used for my hair.


I think my beloved Elasta QP Creme Conditioning shampoo has been replaced...

hmm - that is good to know. I just bought the Elast QP Soy Oyl and I really like it. I may have to try out the Shea Moisture when I finish it up. It's a very large bottle though, so it may be a few months. :yep:

You should definitely try it when you get the chance to! This shampoo didn't strip my hair and it left my hair feeling very moisturized (unlike Kinky Curly Come Clean or Giovanni Smooth as Silk shampoo--I'm still mad about those purchases) :yep:

i tried once with regular braiding hair, and it was a mess!! i just couldn't get them to look neat. then i used the kinkytwist bulk hair, and that worked out really well.

Does it feel differently than the Elasta QP or are do they feel about the same but you are moving away from the sulfates?

Getting it done by a salon? Are you blow drying it yourself before you go?

Found a kitchentician to do them for me lol. Yeah I'm gonna do an Aphogee 2-min treatment tonight followed by a LONG moisturizing DC and blow it out on low heat after airdrying in twists.

Enjoy. Hope they come out wonderfully.

I may join you at the end of May. I bought the hair two months ago. I haven't decided yet.
