Good Tuesday morning:

It is still a rainy one here.

Random thought: Congrats to Curlynikki and her baby girl coming into the world soon. A little girl is so perfect for her...... . Safe delivery.

So last night I was going to use my homemade curly pudding again but then Qhemet Biologics Olive and Honey Hydrationg Balm came in a product swap. So I used that instead.
I shampooed with my face wash then conditioned with Giovanni smooth n shine for a few mins while I took care of the rest of my shower needs. Then I rinsed out in cool water. I must say my hair felt like butter from the first time the water hit it. It felt absolutely heavenly . There was no need to detangle at all. It was FABULOUS. I attribute this to the curly pudding.
Anyhoo, I sectioned my hair then added the QB, I could tell right away then was no slip, at all. I ran to the frige and got the curly pudding when I hit the back curls . (No slip on wet or damp hair means breakage in my book, especially the back.) But I still tried not to use the pudding because I wanted to see what the QB hydrating balm could do. I believe this is definitely not to be used alone. I think adding it to my curly pudding is a great idea. Maybe even subsituting the EVOO in the mix for this balm. Then blend everything to give me a creamy pudding. Hummmm, I will definitely have to look into that, Other than that, I do not really see any other way to use this. It is quite "icky" in texture. Almost like a gel but without the hold. I was even thinking of calling up the manufacture to ask how they recommend using this. I guess it can be used to seal the hair as well because it has chock full of oils. I think the curly pudding incorporation will be my first step.
I also double strand flat twisted my hair differently. I WILL POST PICS OF THAT LATER.

Once I unraveled, hair was still a little damp, I could see right away, I was going to have a curly fro similar to what my hair looked before washing it . Natural hair is to funny.
Anyhoo, I rocked it out just like that to work. My evaluation was pushed to Wednesday am, so I just let my big hair alone . With all the rain, it is bound to get bigger as the days go on. I am thinking about just leaving it alone until this Friday. I will do various styles in between for work. This is just a thought tough, because now I want to try incorporating that hydrating balm into my curly pudding and double strand flat twist an even difffernt way I found...... We will see.............

HAVE A TERRIFIC TUESDAY DOLLS!!!! PICS TO FOLLOW LATER.

Your braidout came out beautiful!!!!! I love it!

Good Morning IB,

I use the hydrating balm along with the Qhemet heavy cream - perfect combo. You most definitely can't use it alone - at least I wouldn't try to.

Hi IB~

I am so a Qhemet Fan!!! I used the heavy cream with their gel, sealed with the balm and achieved the best braid out ever!!! You can only see the true results of the product once your hair is 100% dry.

I would suggest not adding anything to the product, but using a little gel that's all. The key to success with Qhemet is a little goes a long way...trust me I know. I am very heavy handed with ALL products!!! Also, I get the best curl definition with Qhemet!!!

Not sure if it was JCurl or Chrs, but when I first join CN one of them told me once you find a product that works for you while you're in your TWA stage stick with it. So true...so TRUE!!!

Can't wait to see your pictures....I'll check back later today!!!

Oh, then I should use my curly pudding then that hydrating balm. I was thinking of doing that at first but I said why not skip that step and just incorporate

Oh so you use the heavy cream, then gel, then balm. Ok, that makes sense because I don't have any hold with the curly pudding or the balm.

THANKS BBD AND KNH

Lol! I am so sorry, I meant to say twistout! Lol! (flat twistout!)

Hey IB just checking to see what you are up to lately! Is this rain crazy or what?

Ths rain IS crazy. Where is spring?
It's ok. That means we will have a fabulous spring and summer with beautiful flowers.


HERE ARE THE PICS:
HAIR BEFORE WASHING: yuck.....lol


HAIR WASHED AND FLAT TWISTED DIFFERENTLY:



BIG HAIR REVEALED AND REALLY NO DIFFERENCE FROM PRE WASH







SO I WILL FLAT TWIST TONIGHT IN A DIFFERENT STYLE AND WITH MY CURLY PUDDING FIRST THEN HYDRATING BALM.
LATER DOLLS!!!!

I'm loving your new avatar!!! Aren't you having fun with your hair. I like your twist out puff!! Too cute!!!!

Your twistout is beautiful girl! Man I can't wait to do one of those. I'm sorry the balm didn't work out for you with the first use, but I'm sure you'll find a way to incorporate it into your reggi.

Hey IB!!! Your flat twists looked great! And I can definitely see more similarities in our hair after seeing the twistout. It looked so pretty and fluffy And natural hair is so funny that way! You do all this stuff to it just for it to look the same way it did before you washed it!! lol but I love how it came out

Happy belated to Christian! (My youngest son's name is Christian also.)

You are doing great with your hair.

As for textures, I completely understand. My crown and front are more wavy than curly while the sides and back are tighter. I find the key to making them merge is applying less products to the crown and front and more to the sides. But as you know, results vary.

Continue to have fun with your beautiful head of hair!

Hey Chrs, I missed you on here. I know you are curlyfriend and all but geeesshh..... .
Thanks for the compliments. I am having alot of fun......
Isn't that funny how our youngest sons are named CHRISTIAN His birthday is actually tomorrow so you are not late. We just didn't want to have the party on easter weekend.

Thanks Bh. I know it's crazy, but you know I was kind of mad about that . But I just realized that is how my hair would look if I twisted with no product, the same .
It was very fluffy, it felt like I had no hair. I could feel any bit of air blowing, right on my scalp. So weird......

Your second twist out looks good girl!!!!

Thanks NhappyJackie

THat hair before washing is not YUCK! That is a funky Afro right there! and Oh MY!! I was looking at Lynn's success and see your new AVATAR and I am sitting here with my mouth open!!! OUTSTANDING!!

Love the hair IB!

Your flat twist look so neat and chunky. I like the end result.

When I read the part about your hair being damp when you unraveled, I was like "uh oh....frizz and/or poofy" You made it work. I like the chunky twist out puff!!

Hi IB! I liked the second twistout as well. Different products and weather yield different results. That is definitely the difference with natural hair.

I haven't done too much to my hair lately, but I did do a cassia treatment over the weekend last week. I loved the fact that my hair is so much curlier than before! I have curls popping everywhere. Today, I am trying my first hand at a braidout using cornrows. I used to think that I couldn't cornrow at all, but it just takes a little more thought. Still too much work to do to play too much, lol! The mini twists may come late next week, but I am afraid to blow dry my hair, so I have to stretch it out another way.

I also liked the twist/roller set you did at the beginning of the BC. I would like to see that on you again. I found that I have more length too, so I would like to see what the difference is between then and now. Just curious...

Oh btw, I did not know that CN was on FB! I will have to go there soon. Thanks for the info!

@ Lynnieluv: Thanks for the compliment! I'm blushing now, lol.

I love those fat flat twists and the resulting twistout!!!
