[USER said:hairtimes5;20745853[/USER]]Hi All,
I'm new to this forum, but I just had to find an outlet to post my results of doing the MHM. I got my last relaxer in March 2011 and big chopped in April 2012. I really don't understand the hair typing thing, but if I had to guess I would say that the majority of my hair is 4A with a sprinkle of 4B in the back and 3C at the nape. My strands are medium to thick, medium density and definitely low porosity. I have great curl definition, but my hair is always so dry. I tried MHM back in the summer but for some reason, and I can't remember, I wasn't impressed. I tried going back to twist outs and even mini twists but my hair was not having it. It was like it was going through the terrible two's or something so I thought I'd give MHM another try. I actually did the 7 day jump start in 8 days which was no small feat considering I have six kids, ages 1 to 13. Busy, crazy and hectic are the words that describe my life right now lol. I have done the full method about 9 or 10 times and I am in love! My husband asked me out on an impromptu date the other night and I needed to do my hair. I hopped in the shower and detangled in 10 mins flat. What!!! My hair is no longer shedding like crazy. This is just what my hair needed! It loves the frequent washing and the wash n gos and is thanking me a thousand times over. Can't you tell I'm excited?
I have been using all of the approved products. I was hooked on the Tresemme radiant volume but just tried the TJ tea tree again and I am loving it! I use Naturelle Grow for my DC. I was making flaxseed gel but recently purchased Hello Curly. Can I just say I'm in love with this stuff. My hair was drying hard at first but then I realized I was using way too much. One thing though...my hair is not soft after the clay step. Once I add the leave in it is, but not directly after. I'm thinking of doing the clay step first next time I wash. Also, is moroccan red clay the same as rhassoul? I tried the moroccan red and I wasn't impressed.
Anyway I'm happy to join you all.
aharri23 did you have any issues with the panthenol being high up on the ingredient list? Btw this is Naturaltash1 from BHM forumI had been using the camille rose curl maker for the past 3 weeks then today I switched it up and used KCCC. My hair isn't as defined![]()
Thank you. That is very kind of you to say. Comments like that help keep me on the board. Because says days I really think about just walking away like a lot of the other ladies I miss so much
I am going to try this mud puddle and I'm glad you shared with us a US source.
OK I'm going to make a hangout thread soon. It won't be an official challenge but I really want people who are doing the method in the thread, so I will probably have some need to do items. I haven't created a thread like this before so I need to think it through. I have pet peeves which is why I'm deliberating so much.
[USER=266376 said:tashboog[/USER];20746343]Umm no ma'am faithVA you're not allowed to go anywhere. It's because of you while I'm still on this forum. You have given me so much great advice and kept me in good spirits when it comes to my hair
. I really do consider you a true friend even tho we have never met in real life! If you do a hang out thread I will participate and you know I hate doing stuff like that
. Stay encourage because we really do need your wisdom on this board
.
Ms. FaithVA, please don't leave. I am lurking and learning as much as I can. At this point, I can't commit to an MHM challenge until I comb out my 14 year old locs in July, after my wedding in June '15. I REALLY REALLY WANT TO THOUGH!! lol I've been ready to lose the locs and begin the next step of my natural hair journey for a while but I was terrified. Memories of how long it used to take me to do my loose 4c hair and being covered in broken hairs scare me.
You are such a wealth of information on this method and natural hair care!! Just lurking and reading your advice has even changed how I care for my hair NOW. If you have to move on, we'll understand...... still don't want you to leave though!!![]()

Like, I don't want to see post that sounds something like this...
"My hair is soft and moisturized and I can go 4 days with just misting it. So I tried MHM and I used baking soda and did all the stuff. I just didn't notice any change in my hair." blah, blah, blah.
Yeah, I know it's mean but I just don't want to hear it.I don't want anyone that doesn't understand my head coming in the thread telling me about some theory. I've been here many years and struggled for all of them. If you had advice for me you should have given it to me before. Don't wait until I found something to come talk to me about nothing.
Woosah. Now that I've gotten that off my chest I guess I can start the thread![]()
@aharri23
Would u say u like camille rose better? I did read your review somewhere in the thread. I just wanted an update.
I don't really like mcc it makes my hair feels weird on contact but it defines my curls better that camille rose aloe cream gel. But camille makes my hair feel softer.
That's good to know. Would you be willing to share your pics showing the curl maker and the KCCC. Do you dilute the curlmaker or the KCCC?
@aharri23 did you have any issues with the panthenol being high up on the ingredient list? Btw this is Naturaltash1 from BHM forum. I'm glad you're now on LHCF
. I had asked you on BHM how did you liked the Camille Rose curl maker but you never answered. I guess that thread has died

So... I'm not doing MHM but I hate it when people do stuff like that in general. Like, if you aren't having the problem that said solution is supposed to be helping with, why are you even doing the method? That's like taking headache medicine when you don't even have a headache just to try it.
I feel like it's almost a way of gloating or something. I see it on this forum every once and a while and it's irritating.
Yes!!! And we need a gate to keep out the folks who think we all want to look like TER
