Changing Up My Regimen

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

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

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!!!



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

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!!!

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.
