Wash Day

This week washday (5-05) I ended up doing a rollerset something I wasn't planning to do just yet but I haven't gotten any good luck with twist outs or cowash days lately. So I just decided to straighten my hair so I won't have to deal with my hair for a week. I also used different products this time around since nothing else has been working for me. 

Prepoo with JBCO on scalp & grapeseed oil on the lengths of my hair. 

Shampoo with Creme of Nature Argan Oil lathers up very well for a sulfate free shampoo. 

I then did a VERY light protein treatment. I mean if you would consider it a protein treatment.. I put mane & tail deep moisturizing conditioner and left it on for two minutes. When I rinsed it out my hair felt really soft and I enjoyed the results. Hair was able to be detangled very well. (This is my first time trying this product since I was scared to use because it contains proteins) 

I then deep condition for 30 minutes with heat using the Bee Mine Beautiful...
This deep conditioner I don't know! I don't think my hair approves of this deep conditioner but its hard to say because any conditioner my hair has been disliking except for that Mane n Tail which I am surprised about. 

I applied my leaves in which was the Chi Silk Infusion and Garnier Fructis leave in conditioner I applied a small amount so it won't weight my hair down as much. 

As for the rollersets since I haven't done it in awhile of course it was not perfect it wasn't acceptable at all. Once I got out from the dryer I had a lot of textured in the roots which resulted in me using a flat iron. I haven't used heat in two months and I was really scared ! I hope I didn't cause any heat damaged 😩. 

Planning to keep it straight for two weeks and back to washing regularly after...

    Wheat protein isn't a very strong protein which may be why your hair doesn't mind it. In fact, it is a 'moisturizing protein'. Check this out for an explanation:

    Be sure not to avoid all proteins, just the really strong ones or the ones too big to penetrate LP hair. Not all proteins are created equal when it comes to LP hair.

    I am sorry you didn't like the Bee Mine but be sure to check out Curl Mart and check their protein free DCs. There are so many others to try! Good luck!

      I hope that next time I try it out it works and keeps giving me consistent results. I been having the worst luck with conditioners lately. The Bee Mine, I guess it wasn't what my hair really like. Some days were good others were okay.. I'm currently looking at products from Oyin Handmade & Curl Junkie.

      I really love the Curl Rehab by Curl Junkie but I HATE the price for the amount you get. Maybe you can catch a good sale on it. Good luck!

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.

Wash Day

Today wash day I was suppose to do a protein treatment but I had completely forgot and just went on with my regular routine. Next week I really don't know if I'm going to incorporate protein because I'm planning to either make a visit to the salon (maybe) but if I do my own roller set at home I may do a protein treatment. Thanksgiving next week I plan to use heat for the occasion. Other then next week plans today was day was successful . 1. I washed my hair in four separate sections and used my  Shea Moisture Shampoo . I have yet to use a clarifying shampoo which is needed so I just used this in each section and wash thoroughly. 2.

Then followed up with my It's a 10 deep conditioner using heat. This time around it was in my hair for about an hour and half possibly. I had to finish writing a paper and then ate...

Healthy Hair Journey Questionnaire!

Found this post on Hairlista.com and thought I should answer the questions on my blog. Thought this would be really fun to do and for people to know more about my hair.

Had any setbacks in your journey so far? Spilt ends and breakage ! 4. After you reach your goal will you continue to maintain that length OR if relaxed will you go natural and start another journey? Once I reach my goal I would definitely maintain the length. 5. What are you looking forward to the most when you reach your goal? When I reach my goal I’m looking forward to being able to wear the many styles that I am unable to do now. Also proving to my family, my mom especially, that my hair is able to grow. But overall healthy hair. 6. What is your hair type? My hair type is maybe in the 3C’s category. 7. ...
