Even though I'm leaving my hair alone, I really want to see what a perm rod set would do for my hair. May try it out on Friday. Just on dry hair, no product. That way if I don't like it I can just come it out.
 
Boggles my mind to think that I'll be celebrating my 2 year nappiversary in 2 months already!

Sent from my Android...Boom.

I wish I could figure out a NICE non heat updo for this formal, but I haven't been successful yet. A bun on my textured hair don't look good with this formal dress. I would hate to straighten it just to put it in a southern tease bun but it would look so much better with with straighten hair....I don't know what to do.

If you have time you could roller set it.
 
Since my coconut oil turned solid in the cooler weather I topped the bottle off with a mix of grapeseed oil and EVOO...my hair ♥'s this new combo. Looks like a happy accident in the making.

Looking forward to next week's rollerset and flat-ironing...fresh hair for Christmas...yeauuuhhh
 
Silk Elements MegaSilk Moisture Treatment makes me so happy! :yep: This is only my second time using it so I can't really review it yet, but just the smell alone is so pretty and soothing to me. I liked the citrus smell of the ORS Replenishing Conditioner but I LOVE the perfumey, floral? smell of Silk Elements. It also softens and detangles my hair on impact! The first time, I used it after I shampooed my hair. Now I am using it on (extremely!) dry hair. I just lightly misted my hair with water and applied. This is my way of saying sorry to my hair for treating it like crap the past couple of days...er, weeks. :look:
 
I have been using Tresmme Naturals as my leave-in and it is working, but I don't want to use it anymore. I am trying to be good, but I like using (mostly) natural products on my hair. It makes me feel like I am doing something good for my hair.
 
I can't lie. I love my straightened hair; but, I really miss my curls. I really want to see what they look like now that the last relaxed ends are gone. Plus, the chick that did my hair irritated my scalp with the hot comb (I have burn marks, ya'll). So, I'm also a bit paranoid at the moment.

Ugh!
 
Just recently realised that I get the best braid-outs on my hair when I do just four braids. I got lazy one day and couldn't be bothered to do the usual 12+ but I was surprised at how much better it looked and lasted throughout the day. I can't think of any negatives: less manipulation, less time spent removing braids, less time braiding etc.
 
Made my henna way too runny to sleep in. I've got 2 plastic bags, 2 conditioning caps, a satin bonnet with a towel stuffed inside all the way around and a towel on my pillowcase. I can feel it sloshing around and dripping in there its just dreadful but there's no way I can wash it out now.
 
I love my hair today :love2: It's all thanks to Silk Elements and Hair One! I DC'd overnight with the SE Moisture Treatment on dry hair, then cleansed/conditioned with Hair One Sweet Almond Oil Cleanser afterwards. When I took my hair down from my turbie wrap, my hair was SO FREAKIN SOFT it was RIDICULOUS. I mean it wasn't "mushy" or anything (I know the protein in the SE kicked in because my breakage ceased completely)...just super moist and really cool to the touch. Even after I detangled (which usually dries it out a bit), my hair still retained all the moisture. Speaking of which, detangling was a BREEZE...all of my shed hairs just kind of fell gracefully from my head and plopped on to the floor. :yep: It was like my hair was only a few weeks post when it's actually almost 4 months. Unfortunately I wasn't able to seal much of the moisture in without my beloved coconut oil around, but at least I had this sub-par Vitamin E oil blend to use :ohwell:(Safflower oil, vitamin e, coconut oil). I love these results so much...THIS is what my hair is supposed to feel like! Right now I am out and about so before I left I made sure to put on a shower cap and then a beanie to try to prolong these results and keep my strands warm.

Oyin hair dew sealed with jbco, and oyin burnt sugar pomade on the very ends. My hair lves this combination.

Something nice is happening to my hair.


My hair has been getting coily-er over the past several weeks.

Small changes can lead to big results.
 
So I got my hair cut into a chin length bob back in 2010, today it's 8 inches longer. So I'm thinking I retained 4 inches of growth in 2011 and 2012...not too shabby. I got it trimmed about 3 wks ago so my ends are fresh to death, LOL.
 
My hair is about 2.5 months post and I'm just not in the mood to stretch my relaxer, I don't know why I'm just not having it. I guess it could be due to me relaxer A LOT and often in 2012. Ugh... oh well I'll wait, it's almost the end of the year.
 
***VERY RANDOM***

My daughter,who just turned 2, is standing next to me trying to discreetly poop in her pants. She's suddenly very interested in the news.
 
Would you pay $17 for a product with these ingredients?
The product is Mizani foam wrap, why is a paraben and fragrance so high on the list:nono:

Aqua / Water, Oleth-20, Polyquaternium-22, Polyquaternium-11, Decyl Glucoside, Phenoxyethanol, Dimethicone PEG-7 Cocoate, Parfum / Fragrance, Methylparaben, Panthenol, Disodium EDTA, Benzyl Salicylate, Limonene, Hexyl Cinnamal, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, PEG-75 Shea Butter Glycerides, Hydroxycitronellal, Amyl Cinnamal, Benzyl Benzoate, Eugenol, Isoeugenol, Linalool, 2-Oleamido-1, 3-Octadecanediol.
 
My first relaxer in my live and I just put a weave in for my graduation tomorrow!!!!!!

It could possibly be an awsome product, but I think I read somewhere before that no ingredient really counts as part of the product after a paraben.....I wonder how true that is:ohwell:

It's between the Mizani, Nairobi, Joico k pak foaming leave in, and Paul Mitchell foaming pomade.
 
I'm so happy right now! My mom got me the LCL Beauty hooded dryer, as a Christmas gift, that I was too cheap to buy myself. She's trying to deny what it is, but the box says big as day "LCL Beauty." I can't wait to use it! I'll FINALLY be able to do flexi-rod sets, roller sets, and DC with heat.
