Wash Day

I enjoyed my wash day today it went great and I didn't have a lot of breakage, surprisingly . Lets not get ahead of my self though.

1. Hot oil treatment with JBCO on my scalp and grapeseed oil along the lengths of my hair for 30 minutes exactly with heat
2. Then shampoo my hair with Shea Moisture Retention Shampoo
3. Condition with HE Honey I'm Strong
4. Followed up with my Bee Mine Beautiful Deep Conditioner for 30 with heats and 25 without
5. Apply leaves in
6. Style in twist

When I had condition my hair with the HE my hair didn't react very well to it. I know it's not a protein conditioner but I don't know what it is that it doesn't give my hair any slip or moisture. I'm about to stop using this brand as a rinse out conditioner it does nothing, but it does make my "new growth" feel great (different topic)

Next part was deep conditioning my hair and omg you wouldn't even believe what had happen! Once I was done applying the deep conditioner I had thought that I closed the jar so when I went to grab it from the top it had fell ! I lost half a tub full of it omg I was so upset lol. But whatever it's funny now . Anyway this is my second time using this deep conditioner. The first time I didn't experience the result I had received today. The first time I had used it I had t shirt dried my hair to damp I have been doing this because they say its best to absorb the water in low porosity hair before applying products correct me if I'm wrong though. I have been doing this with all my deep conditioning treatments idk. Also the last time I didn't use heat either. This time around I applied the deep conditioner to wet hair and deep condition for 30mins with heat plus more without. Results = amaze balls ! My hair was easy to detangle (finger detangle) roots were soft and I was able to glide fingers through it. My hair felt awesome! I'm going to keep trying this deep conditioner before I make my final decision on it. Can't believe I lost half a tub full of this (rolls eyes) lols..

I then applied my leave in. On one section I used the Aussie split end mender and the other half section I tried out the Shea Moisture Restorative Conditioner. Think I prefer this over the Aussie simply because it doesn't have any cones. When I apply the Aussie I can feel that there was something on my hair compared to the Shea Moisture conditioner where it makes my hair feel just okay. I really don't like this conditioner but just need to use it up. Next I would be looking into some leave in conditioners.

After that I twisted my hair and went off to bed .

    The Bee Mine is definitely best with heat. Girl, I would have tried scooping up every piece of it off the floor! Well, she sometimes has Mother's Day sales, so be on the look out!

      Lol it was horrible. Hopefully I love the d/c enough to purchase again when that sales comes around. But so far it has been good to my hair. It has been 3 days since wash day and my hair still feels great. Really feel it was the deep conditioner that made a big difference.

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.

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

Giving Weave A Try | Update

I have been thinking about changing my hair a lot recently from the color to deciding if I want to relax it. I just been bored with my hair and I have been trying to do as many natural styles but its either I can't do it, doesn't come out right or it doesn't look right on me. I don't want to manipulate my hair anymore. I'm done with experimenting with color on my own hair and I don't want to continue putting heat on my hair just to cause damage. Soooooo I been thinking about trying out weave? I been looking into it for awhile but now I'm doing my research on it. I don't see any harm in getting weaves what so ever. I can color it and put heat on it I can also pick different textures. Only thing that's holding me back is that awkward feeling of people knowing your actual length and then the next day your hair is down your back lol. But I can get over it I think. This would be a great protective style and I'm hoping it can last for at least 3 months...
