Upart #FAIL Last year around this time I had decided to do a protective style which was a sew in. I had a bad experience with it only because I was not able to maintain my real hair the way I had plan to. This year once again I plan to get another sew in. I know I had a previous horror story about the amount of shedding along with the breakage I was receiving once I had took the sew in out. But I understand what I had done wrong and this time around I'm pretty sure there will be more success *fingers cross. Instead of keeping the sew in for 3 months I'm planning to keep it in shorter, depending on how I feel my hair is doing. I originally wanted to do a upart wig which I had created but it came out wrong. My fold over method did not turn out right and for some reason I had sewn the hair on the cap wrong. I did not sew all the way to the front, causing the wig to look ridiculous lol. I also did not have enough hair to cover the entire cap. But I will definitely give it a try...

I am so happy that the build up is gone. I'm hoping that my products would finally be able to penetrate my hair shafts. Before I had clarified I was trying to cowash my hair which didn't work out. But now that the build up has been removed I'm looking forward to cowashing my hair again. I have always cowashed my hair. Seriously cowashing is what help me reach the length I am and I can't forget my buns. I love to cowash I swear by them. I'm planning to keep a sulfate shampoo in my regimen because since Lo-Po hair can get build up quickly I want to thoroughly clean my scalp. Since I had removed my weave I was only using a sulfate free shampoo. I also feel that a sulfate shampoo would be needed since I am on the JBCO challenge and that oil is pretty thick and can possibly clog my hair pores a sulfate shampoo would be needed. I am also thinking about looking into cone free products (If possible). I just want to avoid anything that would cause my hair t...

Doesn't This Picture Make You Excited ; Lol :) Am I the only one excited for this season? seems like it. I've ask a few people how they feel about the fall season and I didn't really receive any good feedback. Some said its not the best because summer over, going back to school and winter is soon after. But I love the fall it's my FAVORITE season from the color changes in the leaves to the fashion and the holidays that come! I was planning on doing a fall series on my blog but I'm not sure how successful it would be but I want to try it out. I already have some ideas on what I can post like fall essentials and even ootd maybe ? I don't know though I do want to expand my blog to not only hair care but also fashion & makeup & this can possibly be my way of expanding it. But I know that the people that are subscribe to my blog subscribe because it's a hair care blog. I don't know I'm interested in what you ladies think. Also trying to...
