1. I decided to prepoo since it is part of my regimen and I have been skipping this part for the past couple of weeks now. I decided to use Grapeseed oil and olive oil to prepoo. I have heard that putting the prepoo in a spray bottle instead of a nozzle works alot better but to me they work the same still a messy process. 2. Before I rinsed out the prepoo I detangled my hair and it wasn't as easy as I thought but it still helped a lil bit.I then shampoo my hair with the Creme of Nature Shampoo nothing much to say about that.  3. Once I was done with that I followed up with a new deep conditioner that I had sitting in my stash for awhile. The Aunt Jackie Moisturizing & Softening Deep Conditioner. My first impression of this is ehh? On my roots it didn't provide no slip and it didn't moisturize or soften the root area. But for my ends it did a decent job I was able to run my fingers through my hair and it felt very soft. I didn't understand why I had different...

I had did my full wash day on Sunday but I didn't have time to really write about it. But I did cowash so why not write about it lol . Sorry about the quality I decided to deep condition on slightly damp/dry hair. I used a spray bottle to moist my hair so that I can distribute the d/c more easily. I decided on using the Beautiful Textures Rapid Repair D/C and its time I post my review about that deep conditioner Sigh* Just not a fan of it. I left it on for 2 hours with my heating cap on and went into the shower rinsed it out and my hair just wasn't feeling it again. I think I came to a conclusion about why it may have not work but that would be another post. But it didn't help to moisturize my hair or provide any slip it was soft, but as I continuously rinsed it out my hair was feeling tangled. When I was done my hair just didn't feel soft anymore but it wasn't rough. I then cowash with a conditioner that I didn't like months ago. I ha...

1. I detangled prior to washing and then started with clarifying my hair with my Suave Clarifying Shampoo, I know that I just clarified last week but I was in the pool and I needed to get the chlorine out my head. I was surprisingly able to detangle my hair easily I guess maybe cause I saturated my hair with conditioner before I went into the pool and then rinsed my hair at the pool.  2. I Then follows up with my co-rinse so that I can finger detangle more. I used the Suave Shea Butter & Almond conditioner. The first time I had used this Conditioner was as a Co-wash and it didn't help with detangling or making my hair feel moisturized so I left it alone, for a long time. This time around I decided to use it again and my hair was loving it. I was able to finger detangled and my hair was feeling all types of moisturized and soft. Going to try this as a co wash again this week. 3. I then saturated my deep conditioner which is a mini sample size of silk elements moisturizing deep c...

              I have been on my hair journey (on & off again) for two years. I hope the on and off can still count. I don't feel as accomplish as many other girl who hit the two year mark. The ones that have cut off all damaged ends off and have a head full of curls, but hopefully I get there. I didn't start from relaxed hair & I didn't have any sort of big chop I was already a "natural" with a flat iron obsession. I did have some trial and error from protein problems to having a weave problem. What Have I Accomplished:  1. Using less heat!  I use to use heat every week to almost every other day it was horrible. But when I started my journey I barely used it. I would use it twice a month to once a month. Even though it was not eliminated completey I chilled out with it plus I started using heat protectant and learning to rollerset 2. Protective Styling I bun my hair literally an entire semester and after th...

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. ...
