Relaxer Update &amp; Set Back!</title><content type='html'>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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Leave any suggestion you might have.

I'm missing the provitamin leave-in which I love so much. The store didn't have it. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I never used the shampoo for damaged hair, so I can't wait to try it.

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. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;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. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Well thats my quick update.

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.

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.&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href='http://lh5.ggpht.com/_BXc2vJvpFYM/TYJhOoygmLI/AAAAAAAAANs/AseJMFBfC08/IMAG0057_edit0.jpg'&gt;&lt;img src='http://lh5.ggpht.com/_BXc2vJvpFYM/TYJhOoygmLI/AAAAAAAAANs/AseJMFBfC08/s400/IMAG0057_edit0.jpg' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href='http://lh4.ggpht.com/_BXc2vJvpFYM/TYJhPclU3hI/AAAAAAAAANw/cF8AjrxnQAo/IMAG0070_edit0.jpg'&gt;&lt;img src='http://lh4.ggpht.com/_BXc2vJvpFYM/TYJhPclU3hI/AAAAAAAAANw/cF8AjrxnQAo/s400/IMAG0070_edit0.jpg' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div style='clear: both; text-align: center; font-size: xx-small;'&gt;Published with Blogger-droid v1.6.7&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;~*~Let's Grow Healthy Hair!~*~&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4271893382114387768-3203974229149197424?l=hairstrandz.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hairstrandz.blogspot.com/feeds/3203974229149197424/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4271893382114387768&amp;postID=3203974229149197424' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4271893382114387768/posts/default/3203974229149197424'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4271893382114387768/posts/default/3203974229149197424'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hairstrandz.blogspot.com/2011/03/managing-your-ends_17.html' title='Managing your ends'/><author><name>Hair Strandz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15922099142095090498</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BXc2vJvpFYM/S6MGgUx6raI/AAAAAAAAAJo/2iN3dlOi-lQ/S220/IMG00142.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://lh5.ggpht.com/_BXc2vJvpFYM/TYJhOoygmLI/AAAAAAAAANs/AseJMFBfC08/s72-c/IMAG0057_edit0.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271893382114387768.post-5657139605606893536</id><published>2011-03-12T17:54:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2011-03-13T16:27:37.082-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Products'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Regimen'/><title type='text'>Revamped My Hair Regimen/Products</title><content type='html'>  &lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Regimen:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As always Im Keeping It Simple!&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://hairstrandz.blogspot.com/2011/03/revamped-my-hair-regimenproducts.html#more"&gt;Continue Reading --&amp;gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;~*~Let's Grow Healthy Hair!~*~&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4271893382114387768-5657139605606893536?l=hairstrandz.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hairstrandz.blogspot.com/feeds/5657139605606893536/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4271893382114387768&amp;postID=5657139605606893536' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4271893382114387768/posts/default/5657139605606893536'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4271893382114387768/posts/default/5657139605606893536'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hairstrandz.blogspot.com/2011/03/revamped-my-hair-regimenproducts.html' title='Revamped My Hair Regimen/Products'/><author><name>Hair Strandz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15922099142095090498</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BXc2vJvpFYM/S6MGgUx6raI/AAAAAAAAAJo/2iN3dlOi-lQ/S220/IMG00142.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271893382114387768.post-6814113349067793736</id><published>2011-03-12T17:54:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2011-03-12T17:54:12.888-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Random'/><title type='text'>New Look!</title><content type='html'>If you have not noticed, I have changed the look of Hairstrandz.

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.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: magenta;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: magenta;"&gt;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. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: magenta;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: magenta;"&gt;ChaCha was founded in 2006. ChaCha's mobile answers text service launched Jan 2008. This is a fairly new company that is growing quickly.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: magenta;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: magenta;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;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.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: magenta;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: magenta;"&gt;A lot of people pay their bills with the money they make ChaCha'n.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: magenta;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: magenta;"&gt;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.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: magenta;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: magenta;"&gt;Now here is the link and info to put into the application.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: magenta;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: magenta;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://becomeaguide.chacha.com/"&gt;Click Here&lt;/a&gt; to apply.

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.

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.

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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: magenta;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: magenta;"&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: magenta;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: magenta;"&gt;I am a true beginner when it comes to makeup so I will be looking to yall for some advice.

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.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;~*~Let's Grow Healthy Hair!~*~&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4271893382114387768-3388204184932047708?l=hairstrandz.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hairstrandz.blogspot.com/feeds/3388204184932047708/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4271893382114387768&amp;postID=3388204184932047708' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4271893382114387768/posts/default/3388204184932047708'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4271893382114387768/posts/default/3388204184932047708'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hairstrandz.blogspot.com/2009/12/hey-divas.html' title='Hey Diva&apos;s'/><author><name>Hair Strandz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15922099142095090498</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BXc2vJvpFYM/S6MGgUx6raI/AAAAAAAAAJo/2iN3dlOi-lQ/S220/IMG00142.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271893382114387768.post-2806851952550952861</id><published>2009-11-23T17:04:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2009-11-23T18:08:47.557-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Acne'/><title type='text'>Acne!!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"&gt;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 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt;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?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://pictures.sprintpcs.com//mmps/RECIPIENT/007_037d5040e9c30217_1/2?inviteToken=HETrP55S7kYPZ5rz08Dh&amp;amp;limitsize=258,258&amp;amp;outquality=90&amp;amp;squareoutput=255,255,255&amp;amp;ext=.jpg&amp;amp;iconifyVideo=true&amp;amp;wm=1" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://pictures.sprintpcs.com//mmps/RECIPIENT/007_037d5040e9c30217_1/2?inviteToken=HETrP55S7kYPZ5rz08Dh&amp;amp;limitsize=258,258&amp;amp;outquality=90&amp;amp;squareoutput=255,255,255&amp;amp;ext=.jpg&amp;amp;iconifyVideo=true&amp;amp;wm=1" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;~*~Let's Grow Healthy Hair!~*~&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4271893382114387768-2806851952550952861?l=hairstrandz.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hairstrandz.blogspot.com/feeds/2806851952550952861/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4271893382114387768&amp;postID=2806851952550952861' title='13 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4271893382114387768/posts/default/2806851952550952861'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4271893382114387768/posts/default/2806851952550952861'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hairstrandz.blogspot.com/2009/11/acne.html' title='Acne!!!'/><author><name>Hair Strandz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15922099142095090498</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BXc2vJvpFYM/S6MGgUx6raI/AAAAAAAAAJo/2iN3dlOi-lQ/S220/IMG00142.jpg'/></author><thr:total>13</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271893382114387768.post-1353417627341486328</id><published>2009-11-20T19:33:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2009-11-20T19:33:11.757-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dubes'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Jane'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Eyebrows'/><title type='text'>Jane Brownie Points Flirt! Coconutty</title><content type='html'>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.&lt;br /&gt;Anyway let me know if any of you have any suggestions or know where I can find this Jane Brownie Points. Thanks!

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 got them from doing a survey back in May. Yes four months later and they just arrived. Anyway, the products are a full size bottle of both Aveen Nourish + Moisturize Shampoo and Conditioner. Along with that I received two of both the 1oz bottles of the shampoo and conditioner. They also sent five double packs of Aveeno Nourish + Revitalize Shampoo and Conditioner.

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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.

See you in the next post!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;~*~Let's Grow Healthy Hair!~*~&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4271893382114387768-7167618844032164051?l=hairstrandz.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hairstrandz.blogspot.com/feeds/7167618844032164051/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4271893382114387768&amp;postID=7167618844032164051' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4271893382114387768/posts/default/7167618844032164051'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4271893382114387768/posts/default/7167618844032164051'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hairstrandz.blogspot.com/2009/06/changing-up-my-regimen.html' title='Changing Up My Regimen'/><author><name>Hair Strandz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15922099142095090498</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BXc2vJvpFYM/S6MGgUx6raI/AAAAAAAAAJo/2iN3dlOi-lQ/S220/IMG00142.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271893382114387768.post-5769864296106627564</id><published>2009-06-08T18:04:00.007-04:00</published><updated>2009-06-08T23:16:06.787-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sally&apos;s'/><title type='text'>Sally's Beauty Card</title><content type='html'>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 &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;cosmetologist&lt;/span&gt;. What &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;I'm&lt;/span&gt; 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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.

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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 0);"&gt;***What do you recommend?***&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);"&gt;*&lt;/span&gt; CHI&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);"&gt;* &lt;/span&gt;FHI&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);"&gt;*&lt;/span&gt; SEDU&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);"&gt;*&lt;/span&gt; Maxiglide&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);"&gt;*&lt;/span&gt; Other ( Which one )&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;~*~Let's Grow Healthy Hair!~*~&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4271893382114387768-1345574142227309046?l=hairstrandz.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hairstrandz.blogspot.com/feeds/1345574142227309046/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4271893382114387768&amp;postID=1345574142227309046' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4271893382114387768/posts/default/1345574142227309046'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4271893382114387768/posts/default/1345574142227309046'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hairstrandz.blogspot.com/2009/06/my-flat-iron.html' title='My Flat Iron'/><author><name>Hair Strandz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15922099142095090498</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BXc2vJvpFYM/S6MGgUx6raI/AAAAAAAAAJo/2iN3dlOi-lQ/S220/IMG00142.jpg'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271893382114387768.post-1983204878545338447</id><published>2009-06-04T00:01:00.006-04:00</published><updated>2009-06-05T12:31:11.001-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Product Reviews'/><title type='text'>GVP Silk Remedy Product Review!!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BXc2vJvpFYM/SidMI6SjokI/AAAAAAAAAE8/SpBG0fo6e9w/s1600-h/GVP+Silk+Remedy.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BXc2vJvpFYM/SidMI6SjokI/AAAAAAAAAE8/SpBG0fo6e9w/s400/GVP+Silk+Remedy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343323198868136514" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BXc2vJvpFYM/SidMC9MUsAI/AAAAAAAAAE0/dKp9VFOtJxY/s1600-h/Hair+Strandz+Stamp+of+approval.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 94px; height: 96px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BXc2vJvpFYM/SidMC9MUsAI/AAAAAAAAAE0/dKp9VFOtJxY/s400/Hair+Strandz+Stamp+of+approval.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343323096568082434" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So what &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;yall&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; bee n waiting for....

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.

It is considered the best method according to love to know website. Here is what they have to say about it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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&lt;a id="KonaLink0" target="undefined" class="kLink" style="text-decoration: underline ! important; position: static;" href="http://hair.lovetoknow.com/Eyebrow_Threading#"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 204) ! important; font-family: Arial; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; position: static;color:#0000cc;" &gt;&lt;span class="kLink" style="border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(0, 0, 204); color: rgb(0, 0, 204) ! important; font-family: Arial; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; position: static; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="position: relative;" id="preLoadWrap0"&gt;&lt;div style="position: absolute; z-index: 4000; top: -32px; left: -18px; display: none;" id="preLoadLayer0"&gt;&lt;img style="border: 0px none ;" src="http://kona.kontera.com/javascript/lib/imgs/grey_loader.gif" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; that are removed are done so by the follicle, so the clean-looking results can last up to a few weeks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;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. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;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. &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;Tweezing&lt;/span&gt; eyebrow hair can be a time-consuming process, and cannot produce an even eyebrow line the way threading&lt;a id="KonaLink1" target="undefined" class="kLink" style="text-decoration: underline ! important; position: static;" href="http://hair.lovetoknow.com/Eyebrow_Threading#"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 204) ! important; font-family: Arial; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; position: static;color:#0000cc;" &gt;&lt;span class="kLink" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 204) ! important; font-family: Arial; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; position: static;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; can. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;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?

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.

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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!

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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;~*~Let's Grow Healthy Hair!~*~&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4271893382114387768-3295130571080615858?l=hairstrandz.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hairstrandz.blogspot.com/feeds/3295130571080615858/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4271893382114387768&amp;postID=3295130571080615858' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4271893382114387768/posts/default/3295130571080615858'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4271893382114387768/posts/default/3295130571080615858'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hairstrandz.blogspot.com/2009/04/product-update.html' title='Product Update'/><author><name>Hair Strandz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15922099142095090498</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BXc2vJvpFYM/S6MGgUx6raI/AAAAAAAAAJo/2iN3dlOi-lQ/S220/IMG00142.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271893382114387768.post-6341148411320435878</id><published>2008-09-11T17:29:00.007-04:00</published><updated>2009-05-12T22:29:07.305-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Relaxer'/><title type='text'>I finally relaxed my hair.</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BXc2vJvpFYM/SMmO8IjqHJI/AAAAAAAAAAc/oxAtvd3WY2Q/s1600-h/comparison2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BXc2vJvpFYM/SMmO8IjqHJI/AAAAAAAAAAc/oxAtvd3WY2Q/s400/comparison2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5244880404789992594" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BXc2vJvpFYM/SMmOrmEKHuI/AAAAAAAAAAU/zWQGmPscihE/s1600-h/Ponytail+comparison1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BXc2vJvpFYM/SMmOrmEKHuI/AAAAAAAAAAU/zWQGmPscihE/s400/Ponytail+comparison1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5244880120653160162" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I got my relaxer after stretching it for 7 months.

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. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;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. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;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. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;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. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;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).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I also tried growth aids aswell.

I am going let that be known with each of my post. With that said here is my regimen. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;Remember everything does not work for everyone!

My name is LaLeshea but you can call me LaLaa. I'm 27 years old, a mother of 3 and a wife. I'm very dedicated to what ever it is I'm doing and very trustworthy. I'm out going and a good person. I love to make people smile and help them out anyway i can.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I currently trying to start my own business which is designing beautiful handcrafted beaded jewelry. I will post here as soon as it get that up and running.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm also into growing and maintaining healthy hair. I will be discussing the products i use and what worked for me. I will also be sharing products that have great reviews that i have not tried. But please remember this is what "I" do. I'm not a licensed beautician nor am i in the medical field.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have a real problem when i comes to products. I'm what you would call a "product junkie". I have to try just about any and everything. If it has gotten good reviews then i want to see what results i would get from it if any.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So that's it for now. Keep checking back for new reviews .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;I'm not a licensed beautician. I'm just giving my reviews on products i have tried.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Remember everything does not work for everyone!
