Naturally Straight TMS - Week 4


Week 4

This week I let my daughter shampoo and conditioner her hair using supplied packets from the box. I mean really, she's 13 and at that age I always did my own hair. She managed pretty well, but used up what was left of the packets so I will need to purchase the bottles of the naturally straight line for next week. She decided to wear it straight this week so we used the blow dryer and flat iron. Again, the hair was easily manipulated with less tangles and shortened blow dry time. Straightening with the flat iron still seemed timely, but I used a lower heat setting and still had the same results. The products we used were the same as the first couple of weeks, minus the leave-in. You can find that info here and here. Her hair was wrapped that night, unfortunately she had gym the next day and did not wear a headband so she had some reversion. I used MoKnowsHair's technique for fixing sweaty gym hair which you can view here.


This is how her hair turned out the second time after RE-flat ironing, which I do not like to do. I also upped the heat setting. This lasted the rest of the week and of course, was ponied up by weeks end.




Next week, back to curly we go, hopefully there is no heat damage. Maybe I start a new page of system reviews, we'll see how it goes, I don't know if I want to switch up since I found something we like. Maybe I'll do the next brand on myself since we have different hair types. 

Stay tuned for next week's review, only 2 more reviews left and it on to the next.

Is Water Only Washing on your TO DO LIST?

Well, golly gee whiz, thanks for asking! Like many of you, I've been just living. I'm kind of tired of that routine so I've have been making a  half ass attempt at sprucing up my life. HOW, you might ask? Nothing drastic, just small changes that I'm trying to get used to before so that they can become staples in my life. I don't want to do something that's a total 360 from what I'm used to, I'm easing into transition. Yes, just like when I was transitioning from relaxed to natural. Wait....I didn't transition, I wore a wig for 2 weeks and said "TA HELL WIT DAT, IF THEY DON'T LIKE IT, DEN DON'T LOOK!!" Shoot, my head was itching and sweating, I couldn't take, I cut t

Water Only Washing......Beyond 30 days

After a warm/cold rinse More than a year ago, I decided to for go using traditional shampoos and conditioners. I started whipping up my own hair products with some success, but nothing to brag about. Now I always have an assortment of butters, oils and essential oils, not to mention aloe vera, distilled water and honey. My bathroom cabinets look more like a pastry kitchen than a place to do your business! I wasn't exactly losing any hair and checking out new hair recipes was my quiet, me time.  Through mostly browsing  the web I happened upon the water only method after trying the max hydration method (MHM) for about a month. Though I liked some of the results I was getting with MHM, it didn't have the simplicity that I was looking for. I was basically looking to do nothing to my hair, but I still needed to look presentable #sistagotaJOB, so I found the simplest method for WOHW from an article on BGLH . I couldn't believe I hadn't thought of it before. Not sh
