Well no pics of my bantu knot out b/c it was an epic fail! It didn't dry in time for my girls night out so I rocked a funky ponytail and fro'd out bangs. I have a side profile shot on my phone. I'll get on from my phone and post it for you guys in a bit. I'm loving the red color even though it's not as light as I want it to be.
 
Well I kind of had a fail this weekend, too. LOL. I did a henna treatment & called my self making my hair darker by putting cocoa powder & amla oil in the mix. Well- it sure did make it darker...now it has a burgandy reddish tint versus my normal dark auburn henna'd hair. Ok, ok bright side is that the henna is still good for my hair & I actually do like the color for the time being. Lol. Hell maybe I'll just get a dark brown or black rinse & call it a day.
 
Okay ladies...my phone wouldn't let me upload from there so sorry if they're small.

and PLEASE don't laugh at my sad little bun. I was just showing my friend that my hair isn't long enough to do a decent bun :sad::nono:

nothing much going on. i will be washing when my steamer gets here. i got my steamer from ebay. salonsupplystore. i am going to call them to see if someone can walk me though putting the steamer together. i have dealt with plenty of facial steamers in my line of business, so hopefully that knowledge will come in handy. i am going to be pissed if that thing doesn't work!
 
A twist out today. My hair feels dry do I think I may wash and dc. Depending ohow I feel. Tummy is acting up.

This is my first time wearing a cinnabun out of the house. I tried before but it was an epic fail. My hair is too thick when not in twists and it would not stay pinned down in a bun. I'm finding I'm able to do a lot of fun styles in twists that look awful otherwise.
 
I'm sitting in Starbucks thinking about hair (what else is new?). I've decided to do a corrective on my ends when I get home.
I left them for the last year because they looked cute with the ends all curly in a banana clip.
However, my hair's too long to wear a banana clip the way I like it. So I'll do a corrective and roller set tonight, and then make that video of my bun.
 
Ive decided to wait until my nappiversary to trim again. that way i can have fresh wash n gos for the summer. until then i will just continue to baby my ends and keep my hair stretched. my ends look decent and i just want to keep them that way.
 
Today is relaxer day for me, I'm at Dominican Expressions. I usually feel like I look like a wet rat when I initially get my relaxer, so I might wait til closer to the 31st to post update pics.
 
I'm almost tempted to put in a set of twists for a twist out this weekend, but I'm uber lazy right now :lol:
 
Forced myself to get up and wash and dc my hair. Now I hit but in 4 big plaits to airdry a bit then put the in my trusty dusty twists for bed.

I wish I could finger coil my looser texture. I've tried and feel like all it does is laugh at me and say, "Honey, please... You know we don't do that!". Lol

i am being lazy this week and i am going to roll my hair on big rollers. so i will just be bunning for the rest of the week with that set. i decided to not wait until my steamer came and pre poo my hair for tomorrow/today. my hair was crying for it. i am going to buy that mizani night treatment stuff and see if it really works to stop breakage.
