Baggying for most of the night with shea moisture thickening hair milk and safflower oil. My hair turns to silk from the ceramides in that oil. Will get up in a few hours to apply my coconut milk powder, bhringraj powder, tulsi powder, AVG, coconut water mix. I added some shea moisture raw shea masque too. Its still frozen bc I mixed it the other day.

Ive been neglecting my hair lately...its hard to keep up a regimen since I started working full time. Ive been seeing a bit of breakage the last few days. May need to do a protein treatment this weekend.

I LOVE this HHJ!!

I really need to wash my hair 2-3 times a week. Gonna try to come up with a prepoo for this new shampoo I bought. It's too harsh and I am almost out of my staple. Hopefully when I get paid again I can afford it...25 bucks to too much. I hate that that's the only thing that works decently on my hair.

Bought more DC, a denman brush and have CURLY curls soufflé on order. Ran out of crime brûlé and almost out of Eco styler so hoping the soufflé will give me a two in one (since my hair really liked the brule. Wearing my hair in a puff again. It looks bigger so I hope that means it's growing. Hoping to be partial SL by February/March..that would be great growth for my 1year.

Gona try the denman out Friday when I finally DC. It's been too long my hair is crying for moisture. Hopefully the denman will get out some of those SSKs that I am getting from exclusively finger combing

I've started cowashing daily and it is working out wonderfully. Only problem is, this is getting old fast and I'm using a lot more product.

Girl I know that's why I rarely wash n go or cowash more than 3 times per week bc you use so much more products doing it daily.

Can you try every other day and see how that works? Can you get second day hair?

I was thinking I would try that tonight. I can definitely get second day hair just wanted a boost in moisture fast. I think it worked. So now maybe I can scale back.

My hair is doing well even though I no longer cowash daily, heck TBH IDK when the last time was that I washed my hair (i think 2 weeks ago). This is a big deal for me seeing as tough I cowashed daily for the first year. Twistouts have been a Godsend, I wear it for about 3-4 days then put it in a TO puff for the next 3 days. This natural hair thing is coming along. I have honestly enjoyed the experience of watching my hair grow from the TWA to now.

You should really try Elucence Moisture Benefits Shampoo. Its very gentle and doesn't dry my hair out. I am sensitive to shampoos too, even those "no sulfate ones" .Its $6 for 10oz at curlmart.com and you only have to use a little.

I just saw an article online this week, that said the Elucence and the Cream of Nature Argan were two of the most gentle shampoos for hair.

prepoo'd this morning with warmed hair trigger to the scalp thanks mshoneyfly and kera vada's green tea oil on the hair. cowashed with tresseme naturals aloe vera and avocado condish. Sitting with oscar blandi's marine mud ( my untimate spa product guilty pleasure) as a dc for 20 mins w/ heat. Will wash that out and final rinse w/ my tea brew of nettle, horestail, fenugreek, and rose hips.

HairPleezeGrow I use my unhenna'd roots as a growth marker too. :grin:

I've been averaging about 3/4 inch every 6 weeks and I havent needed to trim so hope to see some good length soon.

Deep conditioning now with Komaza Olive Moisture Mask. I love this stuff. I'm DCing over night because I'll be out all day tomorrow and want my hair to stay soft without having to moisturize again.

I was supposed to do a protein treatment first but I forgot so guess I'll be doing it next week.

Sunday Im going to Walmart to get some yarn for yarn braids. Im gonna try to do it myself. I want them long enough so I can make a high bun :look:

I feel like I can have more control over the yarn strands instead of bulk hair. Im gonna try practicing a few braids until I feel comfy with the process. I want it done for my BDay next month

I LOVE this HHJ!!

I just don't understand how yarn braids don't look like yarn...braids. do they really look like hair? What's the advantage? I better go do some research.

They look kinda like dreads...pretty cool IMO. My DD did her own hair before she left for school with brown yarn. It looks so much easier to install on my own.

Heres a pic

Oh! Thanks! I just saw this. I will definitely check it out.
I bought JASÖN 84% Aloe Vera Moisturizing Shampoo cause my hair likes the conditioner and it just stripped my hair so much. Took two days of moisture recon to get it back straight and it was squeaking. So I am saving it for my once a month, once every month and a half clarifying shampoo. I think it also made my hair hard cause I did a protein treatment after and I shouldn't have used a new shampoo and done a protein treatment in the same wash, especially when I am sensitive to both.

I will check it out though! Thank you :yawn:

Walmart has a 20% sitewide discount. I just bought way too much stuff. But they were all conditioners that I've wanted to try.
