Re: Big Chop
Thanks popsbaby and sweetdrk1.
Lynnieluve, I do feel better, I think it just looks so different. I have to get used to it and figure out what products work. I will be asking for advice. I am going to go with the flow. I do feel like I made the right decision and have no desire to perm.

Re: Big Chop
Thanks so much ladies. Your encourgement really helps.
Ok now for the questions . So I did a deep condition overnight because I think I put too much product on my hair yesterday playing with it (felt gummy and sticky). I used AOHR with almond oil for deep conditioner. My hair was soft this morning. I woke up early rinsed conditioner out with cool water, put a tshirt on hair to abosrb some of the water. This is what I did in this order.
Oyin Honey Hemp Conditioner(did not rinse out)
Oyin Juices & Berries
Knot Today Leave In
Almond Oil
Kinky Curly Custard
My hair looked moist and coily, but after about 10 minutes I had little white gooey balls in my hair LOL. I wore a wig today . My 10 yr old said "Mommy how are you going to love your real hair when you are wearing a wig" "I am so disappointed in you" It'd bad when a 10 yr old is disappointed in you, What could I say....he is so right LOL. Hubby said don't wear the wig, get over it (but he was mean about it).
Help! My hair is very very thick and dense, It has small to med coils all over. It does not feel dry, except the morning after my hairdresser put the coils in my hair. Do you guys think I used too much product this morning? I need a simple routine.
Karmeldiva1978 - you look great, what do you pur in your hair?

Re: Big Chop
You used too many products and Kinky Curly Curling Custard doesnt mix well with other products.
Try this....rinse everything out of hair....you could cowash if you'd like (if you do, rinse all the conditioner out) Apply the Knot today, then the KCCC. Start out apply small amounts of KCCC....add more if you need too.
Check out this video...I know her hair is longer than yours but the application process would be the same.....Hope this helps.

Re: Big Chop
Delta87,
Your BC is beautiful and so are you!!! I agree with Lynnieluve, you used too much stuff. I have slowly come to the realization that less is more. My hair is about your length, maybe a little shorter, and you really only need a very small amount of the KCCC. Otherwise, you will end up with the whit clumps and crunchy hair. I am convince that the right product mix is trial and error.
Hang in there. You will find your potion. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Re: Big Chop
congrats on your bc! I think it looks great. Lynnie is giving great advice on the mixing of KCCC with other stuff. Hang in there. It's just the beginning. Many of us are still learning our hair after a year!
Re: Big Chop
Than you so much for all of the advice.
Lynnieluve, Thanks for the videos I watched them both. I am going to cowash tonight and use less product.
Karameldiva- Hope your first day back to work was good. If you didn't get compliments they are hating

Re: Big Chop
Hey ladies,
I am liking my hair better. LynnieLuve I took your advice, I cowashed last night with Herbal Essence Totally Twisted and baking soda to get the product out, I put in Honey Hemp Conditioner, Twisted my hair with Shine and Define and Whipped Pudding, This morning I untwisted and scrunched my hair with more shine and define and Juices and Berries. I had a chunky fro which was cute. I can definitely tell the difference using less product. I can't wait until the weekend to play with my hair some more.
Thanks so much, I will post more pics later
