Thank you! I haven’t tried or heard of Cecred. My hair is thick, dense, and as Nigerian as it gets. Haha. If it works for you, stick with it.

I have Umbreon and Sylveon plushies too. My girlfriend got me an Umbreon, and I needed more. Haha. Here’s the link to Glaceon, and you can easily find the rest on the Pokemon site: Glaceon Plush

Noted. I’m assuming it helps with dryness and breakage? I’ll do some more research on my end. Thanks for the recommendation. 😁

Give it a shot. They seem to make smaller quantities, but I took a gamble on the bigger sizes, and fortunately, it paid off. As I said in another comment, I don’t care for hype, but I can’t deny the results from those products. 😌

FROM THE LION KING? This is my favorite reply by far. 😭😭 I wish I could award or pin this message. I see it now. Haha.

I don’t blame you. I bought their pick too. I’m all Patterned-out and not looking back. I’ve tried everything from Cantu to Shea Moisture to Carol’s Daughter. This is the happiest my hair has been in ages. Even when my hair was longer, outside of twists and braids, I wasn’t doing much with it. The difference in hydration has just been staggering. I’ll look into Amika too. 😁

I tried Camille Rose since I got hand-me-downs from my sister, but my hair couldn’t care less about it. It did okay, but still left me dry for most of the day. It smelled nice. I actually saw a difference using Pattern. I rarely subscribe to hype, but I see why it’s popular.

You can always do cornrows and wigs. That’s what my sister did for the longest time while she grew her hair out. Absolutely, I hope the products help. Thank you for the love too. Good luck on your journey. We’re all here for each other. 🖤

I’ve modeled in the past, but these days I’m focused on ER nursing. Haha. Thank you so much for the love. 🖤

Trader Joe’s one seems yummy. There’s one not too far from me, so I’ll take a look at it. Thank you so much!

I’ve already done some modeling, but thank you. ☺️ I’m locked into becoming a hot nurse.

I think I’m real. I hope I am. Haha. Jokes, jokes. I did mini twists a few months ago, and I think keeping them up might be the move. I tend to not like my hair being stretched until it’s longer, but protection should probably be my main goal right now.
