Guess What !?

I think I was never suffering from protein overload. My hair just wasn't retaining any of the moisture because I had product build up. I had realized that I wasn't clarifying my hair monthly and I was barely using a shampoo. Also there were days that I didn't co-wash my hair. So my hair just had so much product in it that it wasn't letting anything else in (From what I think).

On Sunday I think it was I had shampoo my hair with a mini sample of HE Hello Hydration Shampoo. From there I had use the HE Hello Hydration conditioner as well (The conditioner was already purchase before I posted my haul). My hair was feeling all types of great! I was able to detangle easily and felt the slip the conditioner had given to my hair. Once I was done I had T-Shirt dry and apply my NTM Leave - In. I braid my hair into two braids and went to bed. The next morning my hair felt SOOOO Soft and Moisturized ! Even my Boyfriend told me how soft my hair was (I would typically rant to him about how rough my hair was,lol). But that night I had M&S with NTM leave in & EVOO. Next day same results it was soft and felt moisturized, even the ends! That same night I had co-wash my hair with the HE conditioner and braided my hair into two braids again woke up had amazing hair!

I believe that the build up came from "cones" because I don't have many products that contain mineral oil except one. I realized just earlier today that my suave conditioner has cones as well as my deep conditioner which was the DPR +11 had cones also my NTM has cones. So I know common sense the only way of removing the cones is with shampoo. Can correct me if I’m wrong (still doing my research). But lets hope that next week my hair continues to do good. This week was a successful week for my hair and if it was protein overload can someone get over that in just a week? Idk but I’m happy my hair is feeling great and now I feel really scared to put protein back into my hair so now I’m thinking of a new regimen with less protein more moisture, well a balance of the two. Any advice I’m gladly to accept. I’m postponing to cut my ends for the following week the weather over here won’t be looking to good (raining) & I was getting my hair straighten so I’ll just hold off.

Wash Day (7/7)

It feels good to have a clean scalp especially since I haven't washed my hair in almost two weeks! Yeah I know slacker/gross! My  hair needed a good wash and some moisture back into it. Also I just came from the beach and even though I wasn't in the water the elements could of been harsh on my hair ex.sun.  I started off with clarifying my hair since I haven't washed my hair in awhile. Needed to get rid of product build up and plus its the beginning of the month. I used my suave clarifying shampoo, I would say I do prefer the ORS aloe shampoo but I have yet to buy a full size.  I proceeded to conditioning my hair because it was very much needed. I used my L'oreal Power Moisture conditioner and saturated my hair with the product so I can detangle my hair with my fingers instead of a comb. So easy to detangle my hair with this conditioner I love it.  Followed up with my deep conditioner which is the Bee Mine D/C. I didn't wear my heating cap or leave in on for hours.

Hair Length Check In

I can not believe how far my hair has come. My hair has been in a protective for half the year, which was a sew-in. I did not have a sew in for the summer I gave my hair a break. I am currently debating if I should get another sew in for the colder months that is coming but I am not sure. My hair feels fuller & thicker. I was even asked if I had a weave in lol. Here is my current length. Am I Mid-Back length ? This picture was taken in Oct/13  Here is my current length as of Oct/14

Umm, Hey ?!

I  have not written a post in over a few months now & I feel a little okay about it. I just was not in the mood to really write about hair. It just started to become repetitive & a little boring to me. Don't get me wrong I still plan on documenting my hair journey & I still enjoy everything hair related. It was just a moment for me that I was kind of over it. I have been enjoying my hair length & been using heat a little too much, but that's okay. I mean isn't that the point of reaching your goal length, to enjoy it in whatever way you want? Well I definitely did & now it's time to get back to my normal hair routine. I still have a long term goal I want to achieve. So let's see where I go from here. This is my small space on the internet & I don't plan on abandoning it any time soon.
