Hair Plans for the weekend...

I want to try the style challenge but I am little nervous about it, the style itself is not my steelo (can I still use that word, lol) but I might like it

havent figured it out yet. im still in the stage where I have to do my hair everyday and its a busy weekend so i'm trying to find a style where i can wear and look decent for the whole weekend.

i believe i'll be cowashing my hair tomorrow night or friday, bantu knots for Saturday (brother's 40th surprise bday that night) then will do a bantu knot out for Sunday (going to church with the GF family..eek!... and its mom in law bday.)

I finally bought some virgin coconut oil from whole foods yesterday! i want to see how it works with my hair. I did mix some coconut oil and shea butter together so i want to see how that works
----------------
i do have a question though. you all talk about putting oils in your concoctions and in your hair. the coconut/shea butter mix is not a good smell.. i was wondering what oils smell good and what can i put in it to smell better and also where do you get the oils at?? My sister in law was saying sweet almond oil but i don't know where to get it from.

@AfrikanLatina LOL it gets that way sometime! LOL

Friday is wash night with my neem, shikakai, and henna paste. I'll rinse with a VO5 moisture milk, condition with Aubrey Organics White Camellia, and maybe start twisting.

this sounds great! do you make the neem mixture yourself?

No, I just buy a box from my local Indian grocer and add a tablespoon or so to the mix; it destroys dandruff

@mojitochica that sounds awesome! i need to henna this weekend

I made my first whipped shea butter concoction this weekend. It came out great. For fragrance, I used an orange essential oil. I got it from a local health store. The essential oils are super concentrated and come in different fragrances. Try looking through the phone book for local health stores.

@ marche: thanx! i will do that!

Thank you! I hope to get bold enough to wear it out of the house like that one day

I'm actually "steaming" my hair now with a conditioner on it of suave humectant aphrogee 2 min reconstructor and jojoba oil. After I plan to rinse and seal with cold water and probably roll it and let it air dry!

I plan on doing my hair in the morning. I'm contemplating a Braid N Curl, we'll see. If not will be a TNC. I will co-wash with my Aussie Moist, DC with AOHSR & style with a lil HETT, GF Sleek & Shine & Coconut Oil.

I'll be cleaning this itchy scalp this weekend and refreshing my twists. And trying out a new concoction to keep the itchies away!
