My hurr got that SWANG again!!!
Hey yall, so I was tired of the pixies after having them in 3 1/2 weeks they looked fine but I was overdue for a trim and ready to see my true length so I took em down. I tend to only leave "long term styles" in for three weeks max before I'm bored and ready to switch it up
The crimped effect is actually really cute....I would've left it like this had it not been for the accumulated dead hair hidden in there lol
The Pixies held up wonderfully and had surprising unanticipated benefits to my hair that I noticed after the takedown. I anticipated the length retention but I didn't anticipate the increase in thickness....**I'll get into that in more depth on my blog post on this** (anyone can comment!)
Anywhoo here's what I did:
- Pre-Pooed generously with EVOO
- Braided the hair in eight sections
- Went to the sink nourishspa poo and condish in hand put the poo only on my scalp and used the SPECTACULAR condish for detangling *incredible slip!* on my hair and GENTLY detangled.
- Rebraided as I went then put and GENEROUS amount of LeKair Cholesterol throughout my hair with a bit of aphogee 2 minute keratin reconstructer Deep conditioned under the dryer for 35 minutes then rinsed out
- Sprayed my hair with a leave-in I didnt like lol (I would usually use ic fantasia aloe liquid leave in for dry damaged hair dilluted 1-5 ) and began to blow dry my hair braid by braid with a very moderately powered blow dryer.
- Took my ceramic flat iron and alternated between 360 and 395 tending more toward 360 (I decided to do only moderate heat tonight)
- Voila! Swingin Swangin hair!!!
***Much more detail and pictures have been posted on my blog including a texture shot and pix of my hair blown out**
(anyone can comment!)
I posted my hair goal in my siggy without really having an idea how long my hair was
it had been so long since I'd straightened, so I guess my new goal is MBL blunt....but I'm very much satisfied with where I'm at right now
Pinned up for the night!
I PROMISE the video tutorials are coming asap!!!:blowkiss:

does the CHI have to be used alone? Next time I'm gonna stick to a dilluted spray bottle of mostly the IC leave in thats been my heat protectant staple over the yrs and I'm gonna go back to it for good. 
I'm really not feelin CHI at all so far...I got it via word of mouth....just another example of the fact that if ur reggie aint broke, don't fix it lol
Your hair looks beautiful.
Girl I'm on my way to your blog to see the rest of those pics. 
Love it.
