HumanNature - NEWBIE

HumanNature wrote: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 maintaing 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

You can add the honey to any of your conditioners. If you use it in a leave in, you may want to check the weather since honey is a humectant. Too much or too little moisture may cause frizz. As for ACV rinses, I mix mine with three tablespoons of ACV to two cups of cold water. Using the ACV and cold water will close the cuticles resulting in shine. I do not rinse it out so it is the last step before styling. It will smell but the smell will go away.

Your hair is BEAUTIFUL!!!!

Thanks for the info ChrsLvsBks, I'm gonna try it And thank you Freestyles!

Well I still have the twist so here is a pic. I'm going to try the ACV + honey on Friday.

Man, your hair looks so healthy!! Let us know how the ACV and honey turns out...

Yay, SoCal Meet Up is Sunday. Can't wait to meet some SoCal Curlies . Not sure what I'm going to do with the hair .

Wow! I was at least hoping the ACV didn't smell like plain vinergar. I was hoping for a lighter smell. Am I going to be able to deal with this smell. Me and sents do not get along. I wonder if the sun hits this smell will it get worse???

Your hair is so long and pretty!!

Ooh thank you sunshine17

step 1- took down twist



step 2- shampooed with VO5 kiwi lime and conditioned with Neutrogena Triple Moisture and cold rinsed with ACV (I skipped the honey). My hair smells like a salad but it is soft.

step 3- I used a wide tooth comb to comb hair after ACV rinse (the hair is very soft ). I comb hair back and twist out excess water and then clip hair up to dry. Like this...

Hair is about 90% dry. This is how it looks after shampoo/conditioner. At this point there is no product in my hair. Not many curls. I know I can get them it just takes a lot of "coaching".

step 4- stretched hair with four plait braids

Ok hair looks great. and congrats you won the shea butter challenge this week!!!!

Congrats on the win HumanNature! Which one did you choose to receive? Enjoy!

THANKS LADIES.

Well I'm getting in sort of late today and I just found out I won! Great way to end my day. I'm gonna get the shea butter, haven't tried it yet.

@ChrsLvsBks- I watched the video and I love the style. It seems like something I can do. If I had time I would do it for the meet up tomorrow. I'm going to go with the bantu knot out, it's something that works for me. I read your tips on the "home" page an I love that look on you so I thought I'd go for it.
