Good Evening my hair lovin', locks growin, naturals, relaxed, transitioners and anyone in between
Yesterday, I decided to wash and straighten my hair... I've been really having a fit for straight hair despite my restraint to relax
I've been tempted lately with all of the reviews you lovely ladies give... and most recently I seriously contemplated relaxererplexed but I have gone this long without... I started looking into "alternative" measures... (i.e. BKT and other methods that would not be so permanent). On top of all of this, my color is growing out and I would like to color, but having it grow out is helping me with tracking my newgrowth... oh well... two tone hair for me it is...
Then, I remembered... Keratin... hmmmmm, i thought... wait a minute... I have Keratin upstairs... I have that one product that I purchased on impulse and its been collecting dust:scratchch I read the bottle again and... I'm gunho to use it.
***Now, I do realize that the Keratin I have upstairs, is not so comparable to BKT, but hey, its Keratin... I dont have to order anything and I am still chicken... ***
I washed my hair... conditioned, and commenced to liberally applying the aphogee green tea product to my hair, hoping I would not HATE the result... I then blowdried my hair...
hmmm, ugghhhh not cute... but, I didn't expect anything less than looking like buckwheat at this point... -- nothing but Keratin spray on my hair.
Then I start to flat iron... and my hair felt very soft and silky... and it had some shine to it...
I finished with strawberry glosser / heat protectant (IC) this is last night before bed... probably shouldn't have used the flash...
BONE STRAIGHT IS so HARD TO WRAP...
Fast forward to this morning... My hair doesn't hold curl very well (like it used to... It's lost its training!) Anyway, I try mousse... Aussie (opposites attract) i think its called (for a soft hold) and I curled it (probably a , but... it worked for me)... It maintained better than normal especially since I have been having issues with reversion and these pics are from later this evening...
I am pleased with the results and wanna give a shout out to:
Aphogee Keratin Green Tea, njoi coconut hairdress on my scalp area, my ANDIS (walmart) flatiron, and Aussie Opposites Attract Mousse!
oh and my oh so old and raggedy curling iron that is missing the on off buttons, but still do the job better than my newer one.
Here are the results... thank you for looking.
btw, as you can tell, I was all over the house trying to get good pics... and different rooms had different lighting, so... hope you ladies enjoyed the pics, my family thinks I have lost it I being called a hair-aniacthey just dont understand
