The Kinkdom of Kiya

Hrrm, let's see, what have I been up to?

Gave the head a nice soaking in SAF this weekend - I'm getting closer to having my hair come out the same way it started, texture wise. The herbs still 'strip' my hair of all the tenderness that the KP leaves in, and while recoating them wih KP is a good 'stopgap' solution, it's just not the same. I'm almost kicking around the idea of trying to soak my hair in oil first, then using the herbs. I know, I know, my hair doesn't like oil, butttttt.... it might like that. I'll see.

I finally mixed up the new spritzer mix - 2 capfuls of SAA, 3 capfuls of honeyquat, a splash of amla oil, a splash of TTO, and water. One nice thing that the conditioner did was emulsify everything to make it 'stick' better. Oh well, I'll just have to shake it up well every morning. I forgot to add some MSM to it - I didn't even think about it til I was halfway sleep last night.

The twists, they did shrink up again (as expected). My options are to either let them shrink up, or try to dry them 'stretched', and then I think they feel ever dryer..... I'm content with the shrinkage, I suppose.

I get paid this weekend! I'm debating actually waiting on the Mega-Tek, and trying to use up some of the B-Complex I've got under the sink, and adding that to my spritzer and DC's, and seeing if that nudges growth along any. I don't know why/how that would work, but murph - it's a buttload cheaper than the MT.

What I REALLY want to get is some Bhiranaj - and I need more Shikakai and Amla..... I REALLY wish I could find a good website to stock up on them. *sigh* That's also cheaper than the MT, so I think I'll do that, instead.

I want to see what the chemicals that I have in the cabinet - I know I have the ''raw materials" (oh, and some Irish Moss!) for a conditioner base that I got in swap from TLHC - I've never really looked into using them, though.... or even remember what the heck they were.

I'm going to go and look for a better sources for those herbs. *glare* That should nicely waste the last 45 minutes. ;)
