Yikes! That's how my hair was after the first time I tried neelibhringadi. What kind of oil did you use?Quote:

I used EVOO, but I used waaaaaaaay too much!Quote:

I just moved house so I have none of those - I actually just threw out my old setting powder a few days ago! Gah.
I think I got most of it out now, my hair is just.... really, really dry now. :(
What about a SMT left in to soak up the extra oil, massage it to get it out, then your hair might be more moisturized?Quote:

Ok, I now officially have a new "go-to", it's this. The "puffed out, braided-loop 'bun'."
Here's one with a flash brighter.

Fork it like ya mean it.
That's awesome. How did you do it?Quote:

Then I pulled the braid strands gently apart to loosen them and puff them up. It's nice to have this option, as I always just tend to do a peacock twist and the "up and down" twist variation. I am also learning Lazy Wrap Bun, with some of Bunnysaur's suggestions helping me.Quote:

Thank you for the compliment.
I have really enjoyed (too much) shopping for forks. My favorites are GTS and 60th street. GTS is closed for a few weeks and the 60th street forks are not being offerred very much at their ETSY shop. I have scored most of my forks from SWAP, which I stalk like nobody's business. The walnut GTS I just showed in that pic of my new 'do was off of SWAP.
That's beautiful! Looks like it took some solid effort :DQuote:
