if we were together I'd do it for you:shaq:

I love playing with hair :ohlawd:

:ufdup: next week sat. starting at 10 am we will be done around around 5ish

Its supposed to take long if youre doing it right tho.......rush thru it and you feel like youre ripping your hair out. after I'm done I put this in it and then my hair is :blessed:

I don't care:sadbron:, I was about to cut it all this weekend rip it all out.

I use coconut oil to finger de-tangle then this when I twist with a product I can't find a picture of.

i used to fukk with Shea Moisture products real heavy since they sell it in Target, but that Oyin Handmade is :ohlawd::ohlawd: and they sell it in Target too. Youre gonna spend a couple of $$ for some good product but the shyt is a game changer and will preserve your hair/keep it strong. The Oyin products have my hair feeling soft when I wake up in the morning and some days I dont even comb/pick it because the "sleep" look just works for me. It helps to be handsome too in order to pull it off :myman: but now I know what it feels like to take care of your hair. Oh, the Oyin sprays smell great, like fruit. People will mos def notice

and DONT cut your hair off. we all go thru a day like that when your curl, just wont quite curl, LOL. I've had days when i wanted to chop it off but then i came to my senses and realized how much fukken bread i done already spent on product, picks, combs, a shower cap, so I could imagine what yall females spend. But keep your hair.

Breh, I guarantee you that Oyin whipped pudding, along with their Juices & Berries will have your shyt looking official. I've only heard of ASIAm Doublebutter from them cats who go hard with them 360 waves, but obviously the females fukk with it heavy.

But Oyin is my go to right now. I dont shampoo AT ALL because that shyt is hell on black folks hair, but I condition wash. Just make sure to really get at your scalp during a condition wash. And while the conditioner is in, I also detangle with a wide tooth comb since it glides thru smooth :shaq: LOL. I get my conditioner from Trader Joes, their "Nourish Spa" condition. it's official. and they sell good soap there too. I used to go hard with Dudu Osun soap but black soap can be a pain in the ass since it tends to be runny wherever you leave it when youre done.

every few weeks or so, i use Shea Moisture "Deep Treatment Masque" to help repair any damage my hair has been thru. It's similar to condition in terms of texture but you should lightly condition after using it and don't comb thru with the deep treatment masque. I wash my hair every other week because I like to lock in the products that I put in. But my hair responds well to the Oyin products to the point where I wake up and my hair feels insanely soft, has a nice fluff to it, smells great.

I pick it out every couple days depending how I feel, but there are days when I wake up and just not even touch it with a pick. I just toss on a shower cap when I shower and thats it.

:snoop: damn I been hearing dat cowashing your hair is great and to not use shampoo cuz its strips away moisture and nutrients (smh just reupd on sum shampoo too). I think I need to wash my hair less often, right now its about two or three times a week, would u recommend using a shower cap for non wash days?. I also use lusters pink hot oil treatment depending on my hair length every month to two weeks it really cleanses the scalp and moisturizes well. Takin biotin for extra hair health and been drinking wtr like crazy, unlike u my hair needs to be constantly picked until it gets to a thicker length then i'll only pic it occasionally

Breh you better use that shampoo on your dog if you have one LOL

But condition wash only. Shampoo just doesnt do the damn job for our hair. Conditioner is fine. I use a shower cap on non-wash days because I dont wanna random water getting on it and having to spend extra time drying it. And i will still wind up using the spray product on my hair but water doesnt add anything like the spray does. I dont know much about Luster's Pink Hot Oil, but people having using it for a loooooong time. The natural hair crew doesnt fukk with it from what I hear, and if something has a trace of "bad" chemicals, then I wont touch it either. But theres alot out there if youre trying to stick with the natural look. Drinking tons of water is good for you not just for great hair, but for skin and overall health. And I feel what youre saying about picking your hair. I try not to do it everyday because I dont wanna mess with it so much. But obviously using a pic with get the tangles out.

I'll check it out once I run out of what I have. I switch up all the time from using stuff I make to Shea to Mixed chicks etc.. I usually always go back to Shea for convenience. :sadcam: I am not gonna cut I want to see how big it can get. Its a gift and a curse. I have been natural around 7 years, I usually always cut my hair but I am just letting it grow now and I am paying for it. Thinking about going back to a shop.

I spent more when I first started you might get to the point where you have a few products you use and you won't buy as much.

throw on a couple movies while I do it and were good:ehh:

Deal :myman:

Detangle for what :what:

We Africans baby let it cook :takedat:
:dead:


:comeon: detangle because I have too much hair to let it cook

I've never messed with Mixed Chicks but I feel like I wanna stick with the Oyin products for now. Just 2 products from them, the conditioner from Trader Joes and the deep treatment masque from Shea Moisture which i use like once a month

My chick told me about the EcoStyler Gel and I bought it and was trying to put it in myself but was being impatient and it just didnt turn out right so I washed it out the next day. Someone will just have to show me how to use the EcoStyer gel one of these days.
