The MAX HYDRATION METHOD(from my other post)

Bravo Everyone.  I applaud you all.  Thank you Pinke Cube, you are soo knowledgeable and generous.  Thank you MsdeeKay for "sharing your passion".  I have just completed the 7 day startup routine.  The results were impressive.  Folks were asking me whether this was my natural hair or did I twirl each curl individually, lol.  I am twirling these curls okay.    I not very tech savvy so I haven't downloaded pictures.  I've been using the KCKT and KCCC, alternating the BS and ACV rinses.  The bentonite clay does a great job forming my curl clumps.  I split the process, doing steps 1&2 at night, GHE over night and Steps 3, 4 &5 the next morning.  Maybe I'm too heavy handed with the KCKT and KCCC because my hair stays wet all day til the next session. I'm working on that.

Hey Mgood2go! Welcome to the thread!

Msdeekay put up a recent thread about dying hair while MHMing.

I'm just about out of the kinky curly and thought I would try a new gel. If so please let me know your thoughts. I am still working on perfecting the flax seed gel recipe. It gave me great hold but seem to make my hair dry. Hi, Crownstar. I use Herbal Choice Mari Hair Styling GEL and I like it. My TWA dries in a few hrs. I experience NO flaking or whiteness even though my conditioner mix is quite foam. I'm not fond of gel, so won't be much of a junkie like I am w/the approved conditioners.   I used Giovanni and it was a hard, drying experience for me. Wasn't able to make flax seed gel this weekend but still plan to. Flax seeds are just SO healthy. Hi nothidden, thanks for the info...I will check into the Herbal Choice Hair styling gel, that one was not on my radar. It's a shame that it appears that the only gel product readily available is Kinky Curly. It looks like all others I would need to order - -I know there is a beautiful curls (?) line at Wholefoods but I don't like anything with shea butter as I don't like the smell/feel and I have very fine hair strands..shea butter weighs my hair down....lol.. Thanks again.

If there's a nice BOGO free sale somewhere, I'd probably try Kinky Curly. Other than that, I have enough MHM products.

I have 5 wigs that I'll be using during this regimen and I'll also be wearing scarves and beanies. I'm going to do this during the winter months because I don't want to deal with my hair when it's cold outside.

Hi, naturaltash1. I won't be following the separate regimen, but I will be incorporating this into the split MHM regimen somehow to help my thinning crown and promote growth all over. I actually rec'd my cayenne pepper last night and mixed it w/oil. I'm letting it sit in a jar for 10-14 days before using.
