My hair refuses to hold a curl! Relaxer Update & Set Back!

2011-09-30T12:00:00.000-04:00

I relaxed my hair Sept 2 and I did my usual routine. I air dried and then flat ironed it. After that I curled it with my big curler in spiral curls. Before I got a chance to curl the other side of my head the curls would be almost gone. I clipped my ends, Well.... You can say I cut my hair cause I took 2 1/2 inches off of some parts of my horrible looking ends. I just cut them a couple months ago but this time I tried to get rid of all the nasty looking tips. My hair is no where near even. LOL. I chopped it up bad. My left side has always been longer than my right but this time you can really tell, so I keep my hair in buns until it grows out.

I started using MTG again to help speed up the growth process. Just found a local store that has the 32oz bottle for $15! I no longer have to spend $25+ for it online. So I applied it twice starting last weekend. Going to use it Sunday and Wednesday after wash days. Going to do this until Mid Dec then Im going to relax my hair and the end of Dec.

Im hoping to be BSL again by Dec. Right now Im only APL so I had a HUGE set back. I does not bother me that much cause I want healthy hair more than anything. I need to look for a product that helps with porosity control. I never used anything like it before and maybe thats what my hair needs right now. Any recommendations?

Leave any suggestion you might have. HHG Ladies!!!

I ran out of one my favorite products a while ago and forgot all about it. I just remembered when I seen my sister buy some. So I went and picked up the shampoo for damaged hair and the Keratin & Green Tea Reconstructurizer. I'm missing the provitamin leave-in which I love so much. The store didn't have it.

I never used the shampoo for damaged hair, so I can't wait to try it. Im hoping my hair likes it.

Have any of you used it before? How did it make your hair feel?

MTG Hair Update

2011-04-23T13:27:00.001-04:00

Just wanted to update y'all on my hair. Well things are going good. New growth is out of control! I have not been using it every other day like I intended to. Been using it like 2 days a week. Trying to get use to the smell but its going to be a while. The smell seems more potent for some reason. I love the the texture of my new growth. I'm always playing with the waves.

I have been cowashing weekly with tresseme extra moisture conditioner. Its doing good on my hair. I let it sit on my hair for a couple hours then wash it out and wash my scalp with it while in the shower twice. Detangling process was good. So I'm going to keep this routine going.

Well thats my quick update. Will check back in soon.

Started Using MTG

2011-03-18T14:42:00.003-04:00

So I am back on it yall. MTG is a product by shapley's for those that don't know. Look it up on google for all the info. Going to see how much growth I can get in 3 months. I will take photos monthly to track how much growth I'm getting. I'm freshly relaxed as yall know. I'm going to need to get some more MTG, but what I have should last, since a little is all that is needed to apply to your scalp. If you would like to join me in this challenge help yourself. Just comment on what your routine if going to be while using it. I'm going to be using it every other night and using Wave Nouveau Finishing Lotion to moisturize or S-Curl since they are a little heavier. Sealing with coconut oil. Lets see how much growth I get. I'm hopping it's just as good this time around compared to when I started using it at the beginning of my hair journey. We will see...

Managing your ends

2011-03-17T15:30:00.001-04:00

What are you doing to maintain those ends while wearing your hair down? I know I don't want to go through another trimming session anytime soon. Trimming an inch and a half or more (I call it a cut) is not something you want to do too often when you're trying to grow your hair. I moisturize at night and seal, but I don't think that's enough. I have not used heat again after relaxing. Maybe its time to start wearing protective styles now. I guess I enjoyed my hair enough. I'm thinking of bunning it up for 3 months straight. I might even use mtg while I'm bunning. I know my new growth will be out of control after the first month but I know all about how to handle that. I will post starting pics after the break. I'm going to try to use only this army shirt to track my progress. I would like to cover up the entire logo by the end of the year.

If you have not noticed, I have changed the look of Hairstrandz. Its a more sleeker look. I took away the design that was in the background cause it seemed to distract from the blogs. It was just too much going on. What do you think of the new look?

Finally Relaxed!!!

2011-03-11T16:04:00.002-05:00

Relaxer day finally arrived. I relaxed on 3/8/11. I had a setback and did not keep any of the growth I had. I also lost some thickness. For some reason I'm not even mad about it cause it was all my fault. I neglected my hair and knew the consequences of doing so and ignored it. I consider this a lesson learned.

Quick Update

2011-03-08T14:50:00.000-05:00

I'm hoping to relax my hair some time today, which will be about 6 months post relaxer. Look for the pics coming soon. My bangs are gone as in fell out! I'm not sure why that happened but hoping to get them back on track by Sept. I need a major trim that I might do myself cause I just don't trust anyone else. If I mess up I can only blame myself. So wish me luck. I'm hoping I did not lose much length. We will see. Be back a lil later.

Some REAL Online Money

2010-12-19T01:45:00.004-05:00

I know you are tired of hearing about these online job opportunities that either require a fee or a Twitter or Facebook account. Then on top of that people have to click the links in order for you to earn money. It can be very annoying and time consuming.

Well finally here is a site that you just might like. The company is ChaCha. I know some of you may have heard of them and others may not have. Either way this is a real job to make money while sitting at home.

ChaCha was founded in 2006. ChaCha's mobile answers text service launched Jan 2008. This is a fairly new company that is growing quickly.

I have been an independent contractor for about 2 yrs. I work when I want for as long as I would like. No clocking in, no set hrs, no minimum balance before withdrawing your money, Which can either be paid monthly through your bank account or immediately through the debit card supplied.

A lot of people pay their bills with the money they make ChaCha'n.

The process is very simple. 1st you put in your application. Then you apply for the guide role you want or whatever is available. Once that is done you will watch a series of videos explaining ChaCha and its business and the different roles. There will be 3 question tests to follow each short video. After you have completed all steps including the multiple question test that you MUST pass to move on to the next step(must be fast at searching and finding the answer. Use a new tab) The final test is the actual live question test. You have to handle 10 questions the way they showed you in the previous videos. Once you are done with 10 they will tell you to sign out and they will email you your results. That was torture for me. I was nervous the entire time but it was so simple. Just have to pay attention.

Now here is the link and info to put into the application.

Click Here to apply. When you get to the box that says: ChaCha Guide Referral Email Address, put my email lalaa718@yahoo.com Make sure you type in my email. Copy and paste wont always work. I will add you as a friend and help you out if you need it. Any questions or concerns you may have. So add that email and you can message me from you profile.

Openings are limited so you must move fast before they close applications.

What are you waiting for?!? Go Go Go!!! LOL. Let me know how things go. The pic below is my actual Visa debit card from ChaCha. Yes this site if official and is NOT a scam!

I have been away

2010-10-12T23:47:00.000-04:00

I have been VERY buy lately. Im going to try to blog more cause its been a while. Thanks to all who stuck around! Muah luv yall! Make sure you spread the word about my blog with your friends and family. See you in my next blog or Youtube post.

Got2b Smooth Operator - Smoothing Lustre Lotion

2010-06-29T23:22:00.001-04:00

I know its been a while but Im back with another review!!!

I was given a coupon for a free bottle of Got2b Smooth Operator - Smoothing Lustre Lotion from BzzAgent. Its a leavin lotion that shapes, smoothes, controls flyaways and softens. Its does not weigh your hair down and protects against heat. It also contains a UV protectant! A great plus to have during this heat. I used this a couple of times on wet and dry hair and it leaves my hair feeling pretty good. I really like using this when I do my braid or bantu knot out. Leaves my hair feeling moisturized during the day. This product also smells yummy which is a plus. Give it a try and tell me what you think of it. I usually add the ingredients at the end of my review but its been making my posts long so I wont be doing it unless requested. Until next time....MUAHHHH

Relaxed my hair after 9 months post (Quick Update)

2010-06-15T17:40:00.001-04:00

Yep I relaxed. I didnt take any length pics yet but I will. I relaxed on the 2nd of June. Here is two pics of how I wore my hair to my baby sis graduation. The humidity got the best of my hair. I used flexirods (grey ones) all over and a magnetic roller on my bang. I will do this style again soon and will take pics before going outside. lol. Oh and whoever said flexirods = no sleep was not lying. They are worse than sleeping with bantu knots all over your head. But the results were great so I will go through it again :) Well I just wanted to update yall on whats been going on. Oh yeah I had my daughter on the 25th of May exactly 3 weeks ago. Im back now so look forward to more YouTube vids and blog posts. Until next time.....Happy Hair Growing!

6 Months Post Relaxer!

2010-03-14T19:55:00.001-04:00

This 6 months went by so fast! I didnt even realize it until I checked my counter. I think I might go a year again. Since Im pregnant Im not going to relax right now. By the time she arrives it will be hot as all hell and sweating out a relaxer is not the bidness...lol. So I think Im going to relax in Sept for my B-day as usual. My newgrowth is getting out of hand so Im going to end up braiding it up next month and leave it braided until the end of June.

I just wanted to update yall on whats going on. Im trying to get over this cold and somethings thats been going on with my family. But Im back and will hopefully have another YouTube video up on the deep conditioner process soon.

Until then Muahhhhhh!

NYX Cosmetics Sale!!!

2010-01-21T23:27:00.001-05:00

If you didn't already know, ladies NYX is having a great sale right now! They are selling a ton of stuff for $1! YES $1! The only bad part about this sale is the shipping. To me they wanted $14.95. That is crazy! Luckily I had a really good friend pay for my order. The shipping was really getting to me cause that is a lot. The shipping will be different depending where you are so check it out. The sale started 1/15/10 and ends 1/25/10 so hurry.

Anyway, Other than that I ordered some Chrome Eyeshadow, Some Ultimate Pearl Eyeshadow and a couple of their lip glosses and lipsticks. I will do a haul on YouTube when they get here. I am so excited yall. I didn't get any of the Jumbo pencils cause They sell them in my area. Not for $1 but I was trying to get the stuff I don't have access to locally.

I am a true beginner when it comes to makeup so I will be looking to yall for some advice. I was thinking about doing vids on how I apply my makeup so you ladies can see what I'm doing wrong and help a sister out.

Head on over to NYX and let me know what you decided to get or not get.

2009-12-31T13:32:00.002-05:00

I decided to do my top 12 products for 2009. I had a hard time deciding the order they should be in and still Im not happy with it but I love them all.

12. MTG. It gave me growth and thickness.

10. GVP Silk Remedy. I never had Chi Silk Infusion but I love this product. Smells good and leaves my hair feeling silky.

9. Aphogee Pro Vitamin Leavin. Leaves my hair feeling great in combination with the other aphogee products I use.

8. Aphogee 2 min is another good product that will move on with me into 2010.

7. Ahphogee Green Tea helps a lot with breakage. loves it.

6. Olive Oil Replenishing Pak is a great protein deep conditioner. Its the only one I use.

5.Creme of Nature Shampoo detangles my hair so well. I never thought detangling could be so easy.

4. Silk Elements Mega Cholesterol Conditioning Treatment is the best moisturizing deep conditioner I use so far. It leaves my hair smelling god and feeling so soft.

3. Extra Virgin Olive Oil does the job when sealing in moisture.

2. S-curl mosturizes so well that it will most definitely move on to 2010.

And the #1 product to "ME" .......drum roll please....lol

1. Wave Nouveau Moisturizing Finishing Lotion is awesome. That silky feeling it gives my hair plus the moisture it provides. This product will be with me not just till 2010 but until they remove it off the shelves.

Hey Diva's

2009-12-24T14:49:00.000-05:00

I have not posted here in a lil bit, so I decided to post my plans these coming weeks. Well I think I'm going to relax my hair pretty soon. I was hoping to have it done before New Years but I'm not to sure about that. I'm going to use my trusted Precise relaxer normal strength. I am going to try to get may hair as straight as possible. I should have posted a pic of my pony yesterday but forgot. I will do it again and post the pic. It was just a very wild out of control ponytail. I had my edges tied down cause they are a mess and my bang was a braid-out. I didn't know what else to do with it cause it just has a mind of its own right now. lol. I did a moisturizing deep condition last week and plan to do a protein one soon.I also need to start back baggying cause my ends are getting a bit split. Once I do this relaxer things will be a little easier and manage.

Acne!!!

2009-11-23T17:04:00.001-05:00

Ladies and gents, I'm having a very "what I call" severe acne problem! Below is a pic of my left cheek. I'm having this problem on my right cheek and forehead also. Since my hormone balance has changed significantly, I have broke out very bad. Its really messing with my self esteem. Posting a pic here was very hard cause I'm embarrassed by it but I would like to show what I'm dealing with. Hopefully I will be able to compare a future pic of clear skin to this horrific one. I'm so use to having clear skin and for this to happen to me is keeping me down. As you can see dark spots appearing now. I need something that is inexpensive and is guaranteed to work. I was looking at Proactiv but there product bottles are only 1 or 2oz. That does not seem like much at all. Anyone know if that stuff really works? Have you tried it yourself? How long before you seen noticeable results? Do you know of any home remedies that will get the job done?

Jane Brownie Points Flirt! Coconutty

2009-11-20T19:33:00.000-05:00

I'm not sure If that's the name or not, but I'm looking for this product. Its suppose to compare to MAC Embark. I need something for my eyebrows and I see this Embark used a lot. Since I don't have the funds to splurge on MAC I was looking for the closest thing to it. I also read that the product might have been discontinued. If that's the case is there another product on the reasonable side that compares to embark? I went and bought Ardell Brow Defining Powder. I never tried this before I just seen it in Walgreen while I was looking for the Jane product. I just got it to try it out. I got the Mink Brown color. I never did anything to my eyebrows other than having them arched. So this will be a first for me.
Anyway let me know if any of you have any suggestions or know where I can find this Jane Brownie Points. Thanks! Until Next Time......

Aveeno Nourish + Moisturize Product Review

2009-10-11T22:20:00.000-04:00

Well I had these products for sometime now and I just used it for the first time today. Im going to keep this short. I used the shampoo and conditioner. My detangle process....Well there was none. My hair comb through pretty easy. After rinsing out the conditioner I applied Aphogee Green Tea and Pro Vitamin-Leavin. I then Applied Fantasia Heat Protectant Serum then GVP Silk Infusion. Im still airdrying after since 4pm this afternoon and its now 10pm. My hair feels so soft and fluffy. I cant keep my hand out my head. I like the Aveeno Nourish+Moisturizer cause my hair detangled so easy. Oh and it smells so good!
Until next time.......

Relaxed!!!

2009-09-10T10:15:00.003-04:00

Finally! Here is just 2 pics of my hair. one down and one in a pony. My hair is not as bone straight as i would like and I needed more than one relaxer cause my hair was way to thick and so much new growth. But all in all im satisfied. I need to clip my ends cause they look horrible. Anyway without further ado............

Glycerin Mix Update!

2009-08-21T22:22:00.002-04:00

OK. I used it on my hair and my daughters hair today and our hair is still moisturized even after I wore my stocking cap and wig. I am so loving this mix! My daughter's hair is so soft! Her hair always soaks up whatever I put in it. I only added about three tablespoons of the WN lotion in it. I keep her hair in braids and ponytails. I could not believe how soft and moisturized her hair was tonight before wrapping her hair up for bed. I have found a new moisturizer and guess what! I made it!!! Tell me about a mixture you made that works wonders for you....Until next time....

The Summer Heat and Its Downfalls!!!

2009-08-20T16:25:00.003-04:00

When the temp gets in the upper 90's even hitting 100 is terrible. My hair has suffered from it tremendously. My hair gets incredibly dry and I get very lazy and the two don't mix. When I become lazy I neglect my hair. So I don't moisturize like I should. Even though I wear wigs they can cause you to sweat ALOT. The stocking cap does not help at all but I have to use it due to the combs snagging my hair without it.

Well I just made a mixture Im going to use on my hair until relaxer day. It consists of Glycerin, water, and Wave Nouveau Finishing lotion. I was going to add some peppermint oil, and Rosemary oil to it but the smell of peppermint was to over powering with only 5 drops so I decided not to add it this time. I just used it on my braids and my daughters hair and I can say dry no more! I did add a lil bit to much to my hair cause it started running down my forehead...lol. Now I know just a few squirts is all I need. It feels ok but Im going to see how long it will stay moist before applying it again. If your interested in the measurement of each product let me know. Until next time....

Changing Up My Regimen

2009-06-08T21:55:00.003-04:00

I'm going to start back using MTG for the last 3 months of my stretch. Well actually I will only use it for 2 months cause I don't want to use it to close to my relaxer date which is the second week in Sept. I want to see how much more growth I can get these last couple of months. I will be applying MTG several times per week, at least 3 days per week at night. This stretch is getting harder and harder but I'm on the home stretch and will not give up now. I just wanted to update on what I'm planning on doing through the rest of this stretch. See you in the next post!

Sally's Beauty Card

2009-06-08T18:04:00.007-04:00

Do any of you ladies have one? I have always been asked if I had one when I visit the Sally's Beauty Supply store but said no and just paid for my items. I did not know it was only $5 and I thought they were only for people who are licensed cosmetologist. What I'm trying to understand is the example they have on the Sally's site where they show the card number and circle the last 3 digits and then says YOUR PRICE $3.89 each. Is that the amount that will determine how much you pay for a product no matter what the price or what? Does everyone have the same 3 digit number at the end?

Help me better understand this card and savings. If you can answer the 2 previous questions and the following including any other info you have on the Beauty Club Card by Sally's. I would really appreciate it!

***Sally Beauty Club Card***

* Do you have one? Which one, Basic or Pro?
* Is it worth having?
* How much are you saving on average with every purchase?
* Do you find yourself visiting Sally's more often since you had it?
* Do you still get the $5 certificate if you got the card from the store? Or is this just an online offer?
* How often are these certificates sent to you? What do you have to do to get them?

My Flat Iron

2009-06-04T00:36:00.003-04:00

I need to post this cause I'm in need to either more expensive, better quality flat iron or practice roller setting. During my process I encountered a snag with my flat iron that took out several stands of hair that i could not undo without breaking my hair off. I was trying to undo this for about 10 Min's until I realized that It was impossible.

The Flat Iron I was using is the only one I have which is the Andis Multi Heat Ceramic. This Iron gets my hair so straight and silky but the snagging is a big problem. I go through this snagging every time I use it but never loss this much hair at one time. I got this flat iron from Walmart for under $15 and it does straighten. Now I'm looking into getting a CHI, FHI, Sedu or Maxiglide. Since I wont be flat ironing anymore during this stretch so I have time to get a new one.

***What do you recommend?***

* CHI
* FHI
* SEDU
* Maxiglide
* Other ( Which one )

GVP Silk Remedy Product Review!!!

2009-06-04T00:01:00.006-04:00

So what yall bee n waiting for.... The GVP Silk Remedy Review! What I will say right now is I cant keep my hands out of my ponytail! My hair feels so silky an soft and not at all coated or weighed down. I love love love this product! It is a very good product and I can honestly say I do not plan on buying the original CHI Silk Infusion anytime soon, cause this products works great! My hair smells great and feels wonderful. What I did when using the product after washing and conditioning are as follows.

* I shampooed with Creme of Nature(Red Label)
* Rinsed
* I then Conditioned with HELTR
* Rinsed
* After that I applied the Aphogee 2 min reconstucter and left it on for 10 mins
* Rinsed
* Then I applied my leave-ins and detangled
* I applied Aphogee Green tea and Aphogee Pro Vitamin Leave -in
* I then applied my new BFF GVP Silk Remedy
* I air dried half way then blow dried the rest.
* Finally I flat ironed and put it in a ponytail tied down and that's how my hair is right at this moment.

All I did for right now is wrap a satin scarf around my edges until I go to sleep so my pony tail is hanging down. When Its time for bed I will put my silk bonnet over my ponytail.

That's it ladies! I'm so glad I decided to try this product. Any questions ladies leave a comment. I love this product and its my staple

Skinny Jeans

2009-06-03T18:06:00.003-04:00

I have several pairs of them and love them! They frame my shape very well without being 'yeast infection gonna happen' tight. They can be worn with heels, or flats. I don't like to wear them with sneakers though. But sometimes I do. I'm a very casual, sporty girl so heels are not in my closet. I don't even know how to walk in skinny heels. I love the way heels look with skinny jeans with a cute top. But I would rather wear some nice sandals with the nice top instead of bust my butt trying to act like I know what I'm doing.

***What about you....***

* Are you wearing skinny Jeans this summer?
* What kind of shoes are you wearing with them?
* What do you consider the best way to rock skinny jeans

Today is WASH DAY!!!

2009-06-03T17:19:00.002-04:00

During these summer months wash days are the best! I'm going to wash my hair then do my regular routine after wards including my new addition GVP Silk Remedy! I will post back in my review section on how I like it.

I took that trip to Sally's

2009-05-31T13:52:00.002-04:00

I seen all the sales they were having but all I wanted was the GVP Silk Remedy! Well I got it and am taking my braids out as I type this. I know straightening my hair as hot as it is outside is only going to last for a day, maybe. But I have a question for you ladies.

***What do you do?***

* How do yall incorporate it into your hair prior to styling, applying heat etc?
* What gave you the best results?
* If you have ever used CHI Silk Infusion how do you compare the two?
* On a scale of 1-10 (10 being the best) How would you rate it?
* Would you recommend it to a friend?

Wash and Go!!!

2009-05-26T18:29:00.006-04:00

This is basically when you wash your hair and go! This is done by a lot of ladies. I always wanted to try this but I have very thick, coarse 4a/4b hair, and my hair will look a hot mess if it air dried without proper supervision. LOL!

***A Few Questions***

* What do yall ladies do that have thick, coarse, kinky hair to get a great wash n’ go?
* What Products do yall use?
* How do you wear your hair?
* What is the outcome at the end of the day?

Thanks for participating!!!

Wigs and the Summer!!!

2009-05-26T17:58:00.006-04:00

I must say that wigs are not that comfortable to wear in the warmer months. You will most likely sweat more and your wig will look tacky. But I must say I love my wigs! They are the only protective style I could wear without my hair looking boring. I wore my wig this weekend for my sons B-Day and Memorial Day and It was OK, since it was not all that hot. I still have my box braids in my hair and I just braided them back, and threw my wig on along with my eye and face makeup and was out the door. I guess half wigs would be a better route but since I'm about 8 months post relaxer and if I sweat just a little my new growth will look like a jungle. I guess I'm going to stick to these box braids for the rest of this stretch.

***For the ladies that are wearing the wigs this summer***

* Are you wearing full or half wigs?
* How many weeks post relaxer are you?
* How are you managing your new growth, the heat and wigs from day to day?

Sally's Sale!!!

2009-05-24T23:02:00.003-04:00

Don't we love Sally's sales! Well I just found this out and wanted to pass it along. (Thanks KISS) Anyway all month long Sally is having a sale on the GVP-Generic Value Products(2 for $10), Mane and Tail(BOGO), and Aphogee(2 for $15)

Im more interested in the GVP cause I would like to try the GVP Silk Remedy, which is suppose to be the generic brand to Chi Silk Infusion. The Chi Silk Infusion is very pricy for such a little bit of the product. I heard so many good reviews about the GVP Silk Remedy that I want to try it. Spending $8.50 for 6oz instead of $15 for 2oz is well worth the try!

When I try it I will post a review on it. So look out for it!

Eyebrow Threading

2009-05-24T16:17:00.002-04:00

I have always wanted to try this technique. It is considered the best method according to love to know website. Here is what they have to say about it.

Eyebrow threading utilizes thread that is twisted around the hairs on the eyebrows. Then, the thread is pulled sharply, and every eyebrow hair attached to it is removed. The result is a very straight eyebrow line. The hairs that are removed are done so by the follicle, so the clean-looking results can last up to a few weeks.

Most beauticians will agree that eyebrow threading is better for a person’s skin that using hot wax to remove unwanted facial hair. The skin near the eyebrow region can be very sensitive, and using wax on it can lead to break-outs, skin irritation, or even burned skin. Also, hot wax can cause the skin to peel or become wrinkled. This is why using a method of removing unwanted eyebrow hair that does not involve the application of any sort of heated substance or chemical is seen as beneficial.

Using tweezers on eyebrow hair is basically the same as threading the hair, but a pair of tweezers is only able to capture one or two hairs at a time. Also, when using a tweezers, there is no guarantee that the hair will be pulled out by its follicle. Tweezing eyebrow hair can be a time-consuming process, and cannot produce an even eyebrow line the way threading can.

Using a razor to remove unwanted eyebrow hair is not recommended. Razors do not remove hairs from their follicles, and they are often difficult to control. An eyebrow shaped with a razor will most likely look strange and full of stubble.

It seems painful but so is waxing. If the results last weeks at a time I need to find a place near me that does them. Do any of you get this technique done? How is your experience?

Memorial Day Weekend!

2009-05-22T15:05:00.004-04:00

I hope everyone has a fun and safe Memorial Day weekend! I know there will be lots of cookouts, traveling and drinking, So if your doing any of the above please be safe! I'm celebrating Memorial Day and my sons birthday this weekend. I'm looking forward to these cookouts. Yes I'm planning on having several. There is nothing like the smell of charcoal coming from a flaming grill with some music playing in the background. I hope everyone enjoys themselves! Let me know how your weekend turned out.

Well

2009-05-20T18:43:00.002-04:00

It goes to show how much craft supplies I have cause I found some clear stretchy cord! Just what I need to make some Beaded hair combs. If you have not read my previous blog post I was talking about making Beaded hair combs similar to hair zing. So all I need now is the hair combs. So I will post back once I find the right combs.

Beaded Hair Combs....

2009-05-20T17:06:00.004-04:00

I have been thinking about making these for some time now. People any hair type could wear them. Whether your hair is long, short, curly or kinky. They will be double beaded hair combs similar to hair zings or hair hugger but with my own little twist. I have the beads....I have swarvoski crystal, pearls, seed beads and so many others. Since this is a hair blog why not make some hair accessories to bring in the summer! I need to get some hair combs...I was thinking clear. I have a stretchy cord but it is white I need to get it in clear. Once I get this going and actually finish one I will post pics of it here. So stay tuned for that!

Small Update

2009-05-11T23:08:00.006-04:00

Hello. Just wanted to update what I did to my hair. I added small-medium size box braids to my hair a week ago. There is no added hair extensions. I came out pretty well. I kept trying to take photos of the look but got so bust and kept forgetting. I washed my hair twice so the style is a little worn out now. Sometimes I will twist or braids them to have to wavy look, or I would wear them straight, and there is times i will bun them up. If I decide to redo them I will make sure i take pictures. I'm using my same hair regimen with these braids so nothing has changed. Except I moisturize more often now. Maybe 2-3 times per day. So that is it for now. See you in the next post.

~*~Let's Grow Healthy Hair~*~

Its Here!

2009-04-29T22:59:00.003-04:00

Well i added the Ruby Red Jazzing hair dye today and i think it came out well! Some strands are brighter than others due to previously dyed hair. I flat ironed and wrapped it so i will try to take pics of the out come tomorrow. My hair is so thick i had a very hard time wrapping it! My new growth reverted back a little after applying the Wave Nouveau Moisturizing Finishing Lotion which made me mad. I applied it again and sealed my hair with extra virgin olive oil. I wrapped my hair the best I could and put my satin scarf on. I'm going to do a review on the Wave Nouveau soon along with another product so look out for that. See you soon.

Jazzing Ruby Red

2009-04-26T22:57:00.003-04:00

This post was on my other blog but decided to add this one here. Yep I'm considering adding some color to my hair! I want to do it soon to avoid possible damage from the relaxer I'm getting in Sept. I'm thinking of an auburn color or maybe a little lighter since my hair is a dark color and might show up really well. I'm sitting here right now with Silk Elements Mega Cholesterol deep conditioner in my hair and will rinse it out in the morning. After i rinse that out i will put the Jazzing in and sit under my hooded dryer. I will then Shampoo with Kids Organics. I will rinse in the sink since i don't want to have dye stains all over my tub. After that I'm going to put Silk Elements Moisturizing Treatment. I want all the moisture i can get cause I'm going to need it. I'm only adding color to a portion of my hair in the front. I'm ready for a change cause I'm so bored with my hair! I will post pics when i get a good shot of the color. Until next time Tah-Tah

15 Cornrows!!!

2009-04-14T18:55:00.003-04:00

OMG! It took me over 2hrs to do 15 darn braids! My new growth and the length of my hair was getting so tangled in the process! I was getting so frustrated i wanted to start pulling and yanking! But I calmed down. I'm keeping these braids in for 2 months at least cause i cant go through this again anytime soon! I have 5 more months and I'm hoping i make it. I just couldn't believe how my hair was acting up. I know i should expect this, this far into my stretch, but these cornrows will help me finish this stretch. I didn't lose much hair in the process just a pea size ball of hair and that's good. I sprayed some surge on my hair to help detangle my roots. I will be washing my braids weekly with a DC like i been doing. Applying MTG and Surge, Moisturizing with Wave Nouveau Moisturizing Finishing Lotion or S-Curl and sealing with JBCO. That's it! I just had to vent about what i just been through.

Its more than a trim!!!

2009-04-14T18:52:00.003-04:00

Hey Ladies, I have some terrible ends. My hair needs to be cut. I say cut and not trim cause i think about 1-2 inches need to come off. I'm so pissed right now at myself. Every time I look at me ends i get disgusted. Its my fault cause before i came to this site I got lazy with my hair and didn't moisturized or wore scarfs at night. On top of that I reached my next goal of BSL and now i have to start over. I think i would have reached MBL or close by my next relaxer in Sept. I am so pissed off right now. I'm going to trim my hair myself cause i don't trust anyone else in my head with scissors in their hands. Right now I'm trying to decide if its best to do it on wet or dry hair. Ladies what you think?

OMG!!!

2009-04-14T18:45:00.003-04:00

I took my braids out last night and was suppose to DC overnight last night, but it took me 3 hrs to take out 15-20 braids! My hair was so thick and out of control! I was trying to take pics of my hair but the pics did not show the true thickness. I showed my hubby and he said my ponytail was thicker and longer than it showed in the pic so i guess i will have to wait until Sept to take some pics.

Anyway the whole point of this blog is that i used half a jar of the Mega Cholesterol just now trying to DC. My hair is so thick that I think if i DC like this again(with my hair out) I will finish this jar! I always used the DC with my hair in braids so I never used that much. But i like the feel of my hair when its out after using my products. When I'm in braids i not as fun!...lol. Am i the only one that uses so much product at one time!?! I'm glad the Mega Cholesterol is about $4.50 at Sally's and not $10.99 cause then i would not know what to do. My next DC will be in braids. I might not do it like this again for about 2 months from now. I will try to take pics of my new growth after i air dry.

For the ladies with really really thick hair do you use more of a product or even finish a product after only a couple of uses? What do you do to stretch your products? I think i will have to just DC in braids most of the time to stretch mine. Any other suggestions?

Chapter 3

2009-04-14T18:37:00.003-04:00

I'm half way through my year stretch and wanted to post about the new products i have and tried.

I have started using the Silk Elements Mega Cholesterol and i must say it is the bidnezz!!! My new growth after 6 months post was so soft i could not believe it! I'm going to use that from now on cause nothing got my new growth and hair that soft in a long time. I DC with it over night and Shampoo with Creme of Nature and it detangles my hair so well. I'm going to DC with the Olive Oil Replenishing Pak(ORS)tonight and see what results i get and I'm going to use the Silk Elements Moisturizing Treatment for about 5-10 mins and rinse out. Since my hair is in braids i don't know how soft it will get my hair if at all. But I'm going to use it anyway. I like to feel the results of products i use. I guess with the braids it helps me keep my hands out my hair. I miss my hair so much!

I have been using so much moisture this past 2 weeks i need to use ORS for a lil protein. All in all my hair seems to be doing OK. I have alot of new growth and i was surprised that it was so soft. Then when i twisted it to air dry my hair was so fluffy and the smell was great! I kept sniffing my hair!...lol. I just wanted to update how things are going. I'll chat with yall in my next post!

Im just adding previous blog posts

2009-04-14T18:22:00.003-04:00

These posts are from another site i blog on. I just want to make sure yall know everything I have been doing during that time. So you will see alot of posts back to back.

Product Update

2009-04-14T18:22:00.002-04:00

Hey Ladies! Yep the product junkie in me showed its ugly head yet again! But this time I'm glad it did because I'm loving these products. Yesterday i purchased two products that was recommended to me One of the products was Creme of Nature Shampoo( Red Label ). This shampoo detangled my hair great. My hair was still a little tangled but nothing like what it would have been with any other shampoo. This will be my staple shampoo from now on. The other product was Silk Elements Mega Cholesterol all i can say is WOW!! I did an over night deep condition with it my hair felt so soft when it was rinsed out. Oh and the smell was so wonderful. I rinsed the deep conditioner out and washed my hair with the Creme of Nature. Then i put Aphogee two minute in for about 5 mins rinsed that out twisted my hair so it could air dry and when it was dry it felt like butter. I'm going to do this process twice a week rotating with every wash the Olive Oil Replenishing Pak as a deep conditioner. I also bought the ORS in the bottle not Pack.

I braided my hair in some cornrows about 20. Added MTG moisturized with S-curl and sealed with Castor oil. I will do this process until my braids grow out.

I finally relaxed my hair.

2008-09-11T17:29:00.007-04:00

I got my relaxer after stretching it for 7 months. I like my results! The stretch did my hair very well. The pics above are progress pics i been keeping. There is nothing like pics to show you your results. I know i was amazed when i compared them to my previous pics.

My Products

2008-09-07T22:13:00.002-04:00

I have tried so many products in my journey of hair care. I come to like a few. One of the products i consider my staple is a moisturizer. Its S-Curl. Yes the jerry curl activator! Its an excellent moisturizer and is even better when you seal your hair with EVOO(extra virgin olive oil). You dont have to use this certain oil but i do. The meaning of sealing your hair is basically applying oil to your hair after moisturizing. It helps keep the moisture locked in. Some people just seal the ends of their hair. When i seal my hair put a shower cap on my head and tie it down with a satin scarf.

Speaking of satin scarfs it is also my staple. I dont use cotton scarfs ever. Satin or silk scarfs prevent your hair from breakage from rubbing against a cotton pillow case. If you dont like to wear scarfs when going to bed you can buy a silk or satin pillow case.

Now when it comes to my shampoos i like pantene relaxed and naturals. My hair just feels so soft when i use it. As for conditioners i like a few. I like the pantene relaxed and natural conditioner and the mane and tail conditioner. I also use the sunsilk conditioner in the pink bottle. They all are great.

For deep conditioners there is only one and that the Organic Root Stimulator olive oil replenishing pak. Its a deep penetrating conditioner. It also helps restore moisture and rebuild damage hair. Its a yellow pack and is enough for one use. This product makes my hair feel so moisturized. When i use it i sit under the dryer for about 45 mins to an hour. I then rinse it out. I usually air dry my hair but when i gets colder i will be blow drying to avoid getting sick.

I dont usually flat iron my hair but since my birthday is coming up i will for that occasion. I was using the motions heat protectant (protects your hair from getting damaged from the heat) but didnt like the way it made my hair feel afterwards. My hair was so sticky and felt so nasty. So for the first time after my next relaxer this week, i will use a different one called Fantasia IC Heat Protectant Straightening Serum. I heard alot of good things about this. So i will let you know how it turns out. Another heat protectant im dying to try is the CHI Silk Infusion. I heard nothing but great things aboout this product and seen the results it gives. It gives your hair the light feel and the bounce to go with it.

I just bought some of the aphogee products cause i heard they were so great. I will be trying those on relaxer day also. The ones i do have is the Keratin 2 Minute Reconstructor(For dry, brittle hair with cuticle and cortex damage requires special help. Aphogee keratin Reconstuctor provides a weekly regimen that can be precribed for home use between salon visits), Balancing Moisturizer (The moisturizer corrects hair's moisture balance, improves shine and manageability), Keratin and Green Tea Restructurizer ( The ultimate one step strengthing treatment that prevents hair breakage and spplit ends), And the Pro Vitamin Leave In (is a deep penetrating leave in conditioner that fortifies limp, lifeless hair creating superior body).

I use the Lotta Body Wrap Foam once. I might use it again this week cause i didnt get to see the results of it since i used the motions heat protect that time and didnt like the feel of my hair.

Another product i like and need to get more of is the Elasta QP Glaze. This product would slick down my edges so good. Even when im months into my relaxer stretch. This is a must have.

I also tried growth aids aswell. I will post what i have tried and what have and have not work for me. So check back soon for that post.

Remember everything does not work for everyone! If you have something that works for you stick with it!

My Hair Regimen

2008-09-07T22:11:00.003-04:00

OK first off this is what "I" do and i am not a licensed beautician. I am going let that be known with each of my post. With that said here is my regimen.

I am relaxed. I relax my hair every 6mo. I wash my hair every week, sometimes every 2 weeks with my hair braided. I use minimal products on my hair. I moisturize daily and deep condition with every wash. Sometimes i will deep condition over night with a plastic cap and a scarf (satin). I wear wigs all the time which help with stretching my relaxer. I keep my hair in big box braids about 8 or maybe 10 cornrows going straight back under my wigs. I try not to comb my hair unless i am detangling, i don't use a brush. I dont massage my scalp as much as i should but will start back cause its good for promoting growth. Well thats all i do. I will discuss the produts i use in my next post.

Remember everything does not work for everyone! If you have something that works for you stick with it!
