Thanks Lynnie

I don't think I can flat twist anymore

Alrighty, so. I did my henna treatment last night My hair felt super thick and awesome. I've finally come to the conclusion that my hair is REALLY fine. I only use one box of henna and this time around, I had like 1/4 of the mix left after I had already covered my head I globbed it all on anyways lmao.

Before I rinsed it out:


(Notice all the products in the background )


(that's my henna shirt haha)


After:


(peep the hair, had to block the face lol)


After my DC was rinsed out:





And nowwwwwwwww








braids!








On damp hair, I rubbed Trader Joes Nourish Spa Conditoner all over and then box braided using whipped shea butter (shea and EVCO). So...that's it. Woo!

u actin like we aint never see ur pretty face

that henna treatment looked good

That henna treatment treated your hair really well! And I agree with Nubie: we already know what you look like. You can stop hiding now.

Ever since I straightened my hair, I have been experiencing SO much breakage. Like...I have no clue what to do anymore. I did a henna treatment and my hair is still coming out I would appreciate any advice.

1) Your hair at Six Flags? AWESOME. And don't be afraid of Chaka Khan, she's FIERCE. Wear that big hair!!

2) I'm so sorry you're going through breakage. You should probably leave the henna alone for a bit and focus on DC treatments. Lots of moisture and protein (if you're not protein sensitive).

Loving the pics your hair is thick! Sorry about the breakage tho'

Lol, thanks!

I thought henna was protein. I am so confused

I rushed over here looking for the pics of your twist Where are they?

Hi Karyn! It's my first time visiting your CSJ and I'm so glad I did!! I love the pics of your hair --- it's gorgeous!!! And so are you, Missy! Girl, that heat damage is a doozy. I'm thinking of cutting my own off as a result.

Re: Henna --- it's not a protein. It IS a strengthening agent, but it doesn't actually replace protein lost, which protein treatments do. When I was trying to repair, I would alternate henna and protein treatments ... and ALWAYS follow up with a very moisturizing deep conditioner after each treatment.

It's not quite the same because mine are HUGE, but it's something hahaha. Don't laugh at my flat twists haha they suck.

Thanks JC! I'm sorry about your heat damage I love your hair. I'm sure it'll be amazing either way.

And wow. Pft, I feel stupid now Do you have any recommendations for a protein treatment? I'm still on a quest for a perfect moisturizing DC. I found it (CD's Tui Smoothie), but at 20$ and how often I DC, my mom is not having it lol. Right now I'm just DC-ing with random thick conditioners and oils.

ur twist looks GREAT!! i agree w/mika...protein definitely helps my sheddings and u gotta dc after henna too (from what i heard). i dc once a week but sometimes i have gotten lazy n skipped a week. the tui smoothie should last you...well wait...ur hair is longer than mines but i think even using a nice layer n twisting it up would do good in stretchin ur dc's...

do i need to hook u up n sponsor you too...send me ur addy; i'll big sister u too!

Yay for juice twist!!! They look good Karyn!!!

My tui smoothie only lasted for 4 1/2 treatments....I didnt like it that much anyway. I love the Shea Moisture Deep Treatment Masque and it's $10. I'm still on the hunt for the perfect protein treatment. I'll let you know if I find anything.

(In my biggest southern accent) Heyyyy Karyn! I hadn't been by your place in awhile...

Your Six Flags hair is AMAZING! I big hair and yours has the perfect shape and everything! Your twists look great too...

I always DC after I henna, but my hair is never like buttery soft or anything. The Tui Smoothie lasted for like...4-5 times, I think. I might be heavy handed though lol

and no need to sponsor me Nubie, cause....














I GOT A JOB well i got accepted into a summer youth employment program which is pretty much a guarenteed job WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Aw man, I love that stuff! Hmm, I always look at it when I go to Target. Maybe I'll ask my mom for it. Thanks! I hope you find the best protein treatment
