HOLY GRAIL PRODUCTS

Sooooo

I have fell in love with 3 new products, Yes to Carrots conditioner, shea moisture black african / shea butter soap, and care for curl instant moisturizer. They make my hair and body fall into paradise. I have to look at the Yes for Carrots bottle everytime I cowash my hair to make sure its not shampoo due to the lather. It is protein free which is a plus. It have no harmful chdmicals that will strip your hair. Care for curl I can go days without moisturizing. It is very versatile which i love. The smell is good, it kinds smell like jheri curl juice. The soap I recdntly brought from W1algreens and have use it for 2 days and my body love it. It have some type of nuts in the soap and smell wondeful. My skin feel alof more lighter than usual and Im seeing some glow.

Hunt for Moisturizing Conditioner

Sooo

My hair was so thirsty this weekend and I had not a drop of NAdda to give to her. So I went on an adventure. Walgreen's was my first stop and I found, YES TO CARROT CONDITIONER. I heard so much about it and I really wanted to try it, $7.99. This conditioner does not have protein or SLS. I venture on to the hair care isle and what do I see, YES I AM COCONUT CO WASH, $8.99. I couldn't pass that up. In Sally this product cost close to $12 to $15 and I wasn't going to pass this up.

I was undecided on which product to use to restore my hair. I opted with the YES TO CARROTS since I wasn't at my own home and do what I usually do. My hair felt wonderful afterwards, I always brought CARE FREE CURL instant moisturizer, which is a HG now.

Protein for the Hair

Sooooo

Over the weekend I remove my box braids. It took me surprisingly 2 hours for the whole process. I decided to do a protein treatment on my head since I had those heavy braids in for so long (2 weeks :-).  I use the Aphogee 2 Step Protein Treatment which was very smelly. Step One smell so bad I couldn't hold my nephew. My hair became hard, like it explain in the direction. Step Two did smell way better and my hair became a little soft. But overall after my hair dried it felt so terrible and to make matters worse I didn't have any moisturzing products. I only had my Shea Moisture Coconut moisturizer, Garnier Fructis Slick leave in, and coconut oil. So my head was overloaded with protein and I felt the pressure. It was hard for a comb to go through. It sound like a rack going through SAND. BUT I DID CORRECT THE PROBLEM ON TO A NEW POST....

Box Braids

Here is an update on my box braids. Today I shampoo and condition them. The pictures are dark and due to my camera being broke I have to use my laptop.

Boho Braids/Poetic Justice Braids

Soooo

This weekend I install box braids with my sister into my hair. The length comes down to my butt. I used in total 7 packs of hair. It would have been less but I brought hair of of amazon and was cheated out of all the hair in the package. I will post pictures when I am able since my phone is broke and I must now buy a camera. After the braids was install I braided all the breaids together and dip in hot water for a crinkle effect. I plan on keeping this look for 1 month or maybe longer.

Challenge

Sooooo

Well working I came up with a brillant, yet silly, idea. What if a challenge was made of how many pencils, pens, or markers your hair can hold? Right not at my desk I have 10 pencils/pens in my head, with room for much, much more. Tomorrow I will be putting my hair to the test and upload a picture. Who all would like to join me?

My Son Hair

Soooo

I have decided to let my son hair grow out and take care of it like I am doing my husband and daughter hair. He have a very fine hair its a 2c

Co wash Day

Sooo

For my co-wash today I use:
Olive Oil
Suave Coconut Conditioner
Raw Shea Butter

Infusion 23 Conditioner

Sooo

I ran out of my infusion 23 conditioner. I also ran out of my Elasta QP Olive Oil and Mango Butter moisturizer, I will do a review about that later. But the Infusion 23 was very helpful with keeping my hair moisturize. It wasn't too thick or thin, it was perfect. I was able to add other ingredients without messing up it's consistency. I will try this again once I go through all the conditioner on my wish list.

New Hair Style

Journey

Sooooo

Tomorrow I will be 23 weeks post relaxer and 12 weeks post big chop. How do I feel about my? Im excited adn frustarted at the same time. I happy cause now Im able to include coils into my hair styles and can do a couple of braids, but I am mad because I still can't keep my hands out of my hair. I miss up every style I do to it. I always end up taking it down halfway thru the day to see the results. Right now I have alot of things going on in my life which is making me very nerve wrecking and that is one of the reason I touch my hair. At this point I am really thinking about cutting off all my hair and really starting over. No color or nothing if I keep feeling how I am feeling now. Only time will tell what I will do.

Curls

Sooooo

In my second month of fully natural and these curls are going hard.

Undecided

Sooooo

I am really get scissor happy. I want to go to the barber shop and cut off all my hair. Get a taper and start over from there. I see that my hair is growing and becoming more healthy, but I don't know what to do with it. My styling is limited due to the length of my hair. I will be getting micro braids hopefully next saturday to keep my eyes and hands out of my hair. I want to retain growth but as long as it;s free, idk, it's a very fishy situtaion #messy mya voice

Update:
It November 9, 2012 and still no micro braids. I am experimenting with the styles I have seen. I am trying them except coils because my patience is wearing thin

Hair Dryer

<p>Soooo</p>
<p>I went to Sally and got the golden hot dryer attachment for portable hair drying purpose. It is kinda big but a few clips solve the problem. The hand held dryer must be on medium heat setting and 15 minutes will do.
