My 2nd Sew In Experience

The hair was purchased from Rosa Hair Products on Aliexpress. I purchased a 14-16-18 Malaysian Body wave for $136 with free shipping. I can honestly say that this hair was pretty good for the price, but there are a few pros and cons about the hair. Of course the price is really good for three bundles although I only used two.

Pros: 

- NO SHEDDING ! Omg I can tell a big difference from my first sew in (which I used Bobbi Boss Remi) to now. There was minimal to none it was amazing to me because my first sew in I had shedding like CRAZY! I felt "oh maybe it was because I had cut the wefts" but no. I cut the wefts for
this hair as well and minimal.

- Very natural looking. Although this is not yaki texture my leave out was very easy to blend with the hair. It did not look as if it were "weave" at least from the people that I spoke to. They actually believed it was my hair. 

- Of course the price was very good. Especially for someone that's on a budget.

- Holds curls very well. It lasted for at least 3 days beautifully 


Cons: 
- The Body wave never came back. I was hoping that after washing the weave I will get the natural body wave that it claimed the hair had. But it wouldn't dry into a body wave just straight

- The drying process is ridiculously long! I would sit under a hooded dryer for at least 25-30 minutes to dry my braids but to also dry the weave. When I would turn it off the weave will still be damp. This happen to me the first time I also washed the hair. It took over an hour for the bundles to have been dried. 

- The smell. I had thought my creme of nature product had done the trick but it ended up coming back. Although the smell is not horrible it was rather faint and it was just annoying. 



Also these are the two products that I had used to keep my braids moisturized. The Curls Lavish Curl Moisturizer felt like it was doing a pretty good job. I did not like how it was more of a straight spray then a mist like the Creme of Nature. I used the Curls three times a week and I did not use an oil.

The Creme of Nature I used once a week just as an added protein. I cant really tell if this combo was good for my hair. Being that it was my first time using the Curls and I know the Creme of Nature was good on my hair when I had it all out. My take down will be on Saturday which means I had this in for just a month and two weeks. I will also post on how my second take down will be.

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.

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

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. I followed up with Herbal Essence Totally Twisted conditioner to help detangle my hair. Like I said before, If I did not, this conditioner smells amazing! 3. 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...

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. ...
