My New Detangling Comb

This comb is great for detangling wet or dry hair. It does not snap my fine hair like some other combs mean for detangling. I have not tried to use it for combing through conditioner, but it does and excellent job on wet hair, and the price is right. I bought the comb from Duane Reade.
Price: $3.99

Co-washed Today

Today i co-washed with Motions CPR conditioner, which i left on for an hour and a half. I usually alternate between henna, garlic conditioner, moisture and protein. The Motions CPR is a mild to moderate protein so i've been told. I felt that my hair was not feeling so thick after moisturizing the heck out of it for three days. Too much moisturizing makes my fine hair look thin and over softens it after a while, so i figured i would use the protein to give it strength and thickness (i always get thickness from protein conditioners)well i applied this conditioner like i usually do, like doing a relaxer touch up. I put on a plastic cap, wrapped a towel around my head for 1 1/2 hours and did some work on the computer. I rinsed in the shower. I detangled in 4 sections and did not do my usual moisturizing and sealing in 3 sections. I wanted to see how my hair felt without all the moisturizer, so i let it air dry in 4 sections. As my hair started to dry, it felt so hard, i knew that it was the protein, so i did my moisturizing and sealing in 4 sections. I decided that i wanted to keep the thick feeling, so i did not use too much moisturizer or oil. Well, it was a good idea, cause when i did use less moisturizer and oil, my hair felt great with just enough moisture and strength. I am learning to listen to my hair, lol, as it constanly changes. Caring for fine hair is a constant battle so i must keep on top of it. Knowing you hair is the first step to healthy hair. I finally feel i'm winning the battle.

Stinky Garlic Conditioner Update

Today is wash day. So what conditioner did i use today? The stinky garlic conditioner. Okay i know i'm gonna go around smelling like an Italian meal, but i don't care. This garlic conditioner is the bizness. It works so well that the smell(really stinky)is kool with me, now everybody else probably want to know wth smells like that, lol. As you may know by now, i have fine hair and it sheds like crazy, and i used just about everything to stop or cut down on the shedding, nothing worked. I tried aphogee,biolustre,hair fixer,etc.,etc., still shed, so a member of MyHairSistas (shameless plug, lol)suggested i try a garlic conditioner, at first i was like, no. It stinks, but she said it really works and the smell goes away. I did not want to buy another conditioner. I had already bought 15 cheapie conditioners (they were on sale for 79cents at rite aid), and 3 other conditioners, so one more was out, at least until next week, lol. Anyhoo i looked in my kitchen, cause i know i had some garlic throw up in there somewhere. I looked in the fridge and saw garlic bulbs, too much work to grind them up, nope. I looked in my cabinet, voila, garlic powder, ummm that might work. So i put 4 teaspoon of garlic together with vo5 strawberries and cream. This is my 3rd stinky garlic conditioner, it worked everytime. Just like the last two times, i put on the conditioner like i was applying a relaxer, put on my shower cap and wrapped a towel around my head for an hour this time. I rinsed, moisturized and sealed in 4 sections and air dried in a twist.
The Result?
butter soft, moisturized no shed hair, yaaaaaaaaa
