HumanNature - NEWBIE

I love your new knot out! Your curls look tighter and more natural this time

I love your bantu knot out that u did yesterday!! Your curls are tight and shiny...very very pretty!!!

Thank you LilMsPuddles and Blackbeauty. I really love the results, much better than the first go round. Trial and Error

I have to say the pineapple really worked. I gathered all of my hair to the top of my head as close to my forehead as possible. I secured my hair loosley with a scrunchie and let the curls fall naturally and wraped my hair.

My curls on the third day are still going strong. I put my hair up because the top was a bit frizzy. Take a look.

a little closer

from the front

Where do you get that shine from??! And where can I get it? lol

Your hair looks marvelous! Curls all day is a huge plus woo hoo.

Can you share the ingredients in the leave in you use?

Have a great hair day.

ur hair is looking awesome!!! loved the bantu knot out!! and the updo!

@AfrikanLatina- thanks, by nature I'm an oily being (good for my hair, not so much for my skin- LOL).

@ChrsLvsBks- I was really happy about all day curls (it's a shame that I never tried this before).

@coceuro- thanks, my main staple updo is a bun, this was different, me likes.

I must confess that before this web site I did not pay much attention to the ingredients that were in the products I used. I know there are certain no no's that you should not touch but for the most part, if it worked for my hair I used it.

The product I use is Wet-n-Wavy Leave-In Conditioner. I'll just name the first three ingredients in the product: Deioniezed water, propylene glycol, PEG 75 lanolin. So I looked up the ingredients and I'm wondering how my hair has ever survived because I have never gave much thought to what went into these products .

Well I'm going to stop this torture and invest my time in researching products that are natural and hair friendly.

Just put my hair in flat twist. I have 12 total. Six on each side. i'll take them down tomorrow for a twist out. Can't wait to see the results.

I took down the flat twist on Sunday (sorry, no pics of the actual flat twist but they were pretty standard). I was going for big hair. Not sure if this is as big as my hair can get but it was enough for the movie theater. Really did not want to block anyones view- lol.

beautiful, shiny hair! i am really interested in this Wet n Wavy Leave-in...may have to give it a try!

@ChrsLvsBks, yes I used the blue perm rods. (side bar) I saw Precious, it is such a powerful movie. I talked about all night after seeing it.

@Kea::curls, thanks. I've been using it for years. I don't have problems with breakage or dry hair but I know the ingredients can pose a problem. I love that my hair is soft when I use it.

Today is hair wash day. I was thinking about co-washing but I have never only used conditioner and it has been awhile since I shampooed. Co washing is a new concept for me. We'll see. I'm going to experiment.

Ha Ha. I ended up washing my hair today. I used something new for me. Neutrogena Triple Moisture Cream Lather Shampoo and Daily Deep Conditioner (it feels really rich and creamy). I am going to use the Silk Touch Leave-In Cream for styling. All three products contain olive, meadowfoam seed, and sweet almond. The shampoo and conditioner were ok but nothing to make a big deal about. I normally use Pantene and I like that much better. I don't think I'll be revisiting it after it is all gone .
I like Neutrogena products and I had been eyeing it for some time but it is quit expensive. I got all three products on sale at CVS (one was actually free with a coupon I had).

I washed my hair and conditioned it in the shower. I use a wide tooth comb in the shower to comb out my hair and then do a cold rinse (BRRRR). I comb all of my hair back and twist it around itself to get rid of the excess water and then I use a hair clip to hold it in place and it stays this way until it dries or until it is at least 80-90% dry (I've done this routine for years and it works for me). When it's about 80-90% dry I'll style it.

when I styled my hair this morning it was very soft. I was somewhat surprised because I did not like how my hair felt when I was washing it. I may continue to use the Neutrogena Leave-In conditioner. It leaves a very nice fragrance to the hair.

ur hair is so pretty

Thank you so much Intelligentbeauty,

Pulled hair back into a ponytail today. That's it!

Beautiful hair!! Love the shine!!

Thanks sweetdrk1


Here is my hair pulled back in a ponytail. Again, I really love how soft it feels. I was playing with my hair a lot that day, that's why I end up pulling it back.

i love the curls, the shine...it looks good.

why when i see ur name i think of the michael jackson song...*humming* tell them that its human nature...why...why..

HAIR ENVY!!!

cute, cute

@lena73- Thanks, I love me some MJ. He was playing on my ipod when I signed up for this site.

@LilMsPuddles- HAIR ENVY, Ha Ha. WE rock, WE have such versatility!

@Kea::curls- Thanks chica.

Busy week for myself so I put 12 twist in my hair last night and the plan is to wear them this week. I have gathered up my accessories because I know by Wednesday I'm going to need a hat, scarf or something. But at least I don't have to worry about my hair.

Since my goal is to maintain curls (esp. for wash -n- go styles) I have been reading up on how to do this organically. I read that ACV + honey rinse is good for shine and maintaining curls. I'm just confused??? Not sure if I should leave the rinse in, mix it with a store bought conditioner, or just mix it with H2O. Maybe all three are ok. Any suggestions
