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.

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

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...

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.
