A boy. His name is Josiah and he smells wonderful. He's sleep right now so I'm contemplating a cowash and leave in really quick. This is my second son......after 17 years lololol.

Everyone is in love though. My son is excited to finally have a sibling..even though he's graduating soon.

All I did last night was plop some hair milk on my hair and slap the bonnet on.


He seems to sleep during the day so I might can swang a prepoo and cowash. Just need my fiance to get home first.

@shawnyblazes, LOL I have a 1 year old after 13 years my older son is 13 so I know what you're going through starting over. Gabrael is my last so I'm trying to savor every minute. All I do is kiss and hug him !:hug2::sneakyhug:
 
Tonight, I put Dove Nourishing Oil Care Conditioner on my braids, sat under the heat cap for 30 minutes, CW'd and rinsed it out and rinsed out 80% of Elucence Balance Conditioner.

I LCOB'd with L = Alikay Lemongrass, C = Soultanical's Mane 'n Thick, O = Keravada Super Gro on scalp & Kreyol Essence Chocolate HBCO on edges, B = Marie Dean's Coconut Cream on length & KJ Natural's Milk & Honey on ends.

Congrats on your new bundle of joy! I love new baby smell.
 
@APrayer4Hair Your hair looks so nice and soft! :love:

Finger detangled (which took forever), trimmed my ends and pre-pooed over night on Sunday. Wash day was Monday. I decided I cant do a three part wash day no mo (shampoo, DC, clay rinse). Im just just going to mix my shampoo with the clay in one bottle and deep condition to save time, lets see how that works out. Also staying pretty consistent with my scalp massages and GHE.

Awww. Baby smells. Josiah is a beautiful name. Does he sleep well at night? I'm glad his big brother is happy to have a little brother. You won't have to worry about sibling rivalry. Your oldest will be in college soon. That's so awesome.

Were you shocked when you found out, though? My youngest is 16. I'm counting the days until I don't have to go to teacher conferences, PTA meetings, and filling out a million forms for school registration.

Shocked is an understatement. It was such an easy pregnancy though. Even being high risk. Now this here breast feeding is a whole other story.

He does not sleep at night lol. I'm asking too much for a 5 day ole baby huh. He's been sleep for almost 2 hours now and I know we will be up later.



I did wash my hair last night finally. Prepoo'd with Novex Brazilian Chocolate treatment and Blue Roze Manuka conditioner. Cowashed with Tresemme Curl Hydration conditioner and rinsed. After that left Bobeam condish in as a leave in and two buns.

Let's see how long I can do this loll

I LOVE THE NAME JOSIAH!! We don't have any children over herrr, but this will be my son's name. Awww he smells good :) how sweet.

I pulled a "white girl" today. I dc'd overnight and blew out my hair right before work (no offense intended). It only took me 30 minutes!!! I got it straight with the blow dry. I have no intentions on flat ironing; i only blew it out because I wanted to wear a decent looking hair style. I was over my wig.. well, i also ruined it.

1st of all old wig
2nd of all it doesn't fit great
3rd of all it doesnt blend with my hair due to the color and i have to have my hair out in the front because of the fit.

bright idea- color it with a sharpie. i had ink all over the place. it was ridiculous. it did work for a couple of days, though. but it had to go.
 
I need to order some clay for my normal hair routine. It's just so easy to be lazy lol.

I'll be cowashing and bunning tomorrow. I'm going back to my Herbal Essences Hello Hydration for co-washing. I'm so over Tresemme changing their formulas.
 
  1. Current hair length: Nape length
  2. Relaxed/Natural/Texlaxed/Transitioning: natural
  3. Goal Month: bsl/Dec 2016 (shooting for the stars lol)
  4. Current Reggie and styling choices: ai bc'd in September and I was wearing braids until three weeks ago. I dont have a regimen. The only thing that's constant is my nightly scalp massage.
  5. What do you plan on changing (if anything) to make it to APL/BSL? Just finding out what works.

Today was CW Friday:
  • Pre-poo'd under my wig at work with AVJ spritz & KJ Naturals Milk & Honey on ends.
  • When I got home, I added Aubrey Organics GPB & HSR mix on ends and AO White Camellia on scalp & length for an hour under a heat cap.
  • Used CC's Naturals Scalp Scrub, CW'd with HH Totally Twisted, Joico K-pak Reconstructor & rinsed out 80% of the Elucence Balancing Conditioner.
  • LOCB'd with L = Annabelle's Honeydew LI, O = Keravada Super Gro, C = Ouidad Moisture Lock, B = Marie Dean Coconut Cream on length & KJ Naturals Milk & Honey on ends.
 
I began the new year with so much hope and promise and for the 1st 2 weeks faithfully maintained my routine until last week. Usually I'll take my hair out of twists and wear a twist out for 2 or 3 days before I wash it then twist again. Not this time! I washed, I went, and I went again for a couple more days in my wash go until my hair began to feel dry and brittle. Also I hadn't worn my sleeping cap in almost a week, then I remembered I was a part of this challenge and quickly got it together! I washed and conditioned my hair with the Suave Coconut line then applied Cantu Shea Butter and coconut oil to my hair and re twisted it. Fortunately I didn't loose any more hair than usual, and I believe it's because I began using the Salon Selectives 3 Minute Hair Therapy to strengthen it. The bottom line is that this challenge is holding me accountable for my hair practices and I'm glad I joined!
