So I used the Hairveda Heavy Cream from the Red Tea line. The smell is little TOO clean for me but it will due. Application was okay; it feels a little coating, meaning it may be too heavy for my strands.

We shall see what the final verdict is in the morning upon take down.
 
I needed a hair cut today and went to have one professionally done. This is a new stylist that I am trying out. I went in for a consultation today which would cost me $20 but when I came in to have my hair done, it would be used toward the actual service. Well I got my consultation and hair trim for $25 total today. I was very impressed with her knowledge I might add.

She advised me to stop everything I'm doing with my hair and buy myself a good baby shampoo to get my hair back on track. She trimmed only one inch off and asked me to come back in 2 months for another trim until I get all the ends off in a slow but controlled timely manner. She knows how ladies love their hair and she genuinely did not want me to become too concerned about cutting off too much hair all at once.

She said that the baby shampoo will help my hair to bounce back in a very timely fashion. By the way, it was a demi permanent color that damaged my hair. She said the henna I was using was fine but adding in the demi color alternately damaged my hair. Two permanents should not be competing with each other this way. I agreed because my hair was really doing well with henna. I just wanted something faster and now I am paying for it with broken ends.

With that said, I think I will keep this new stylist. I found out she even goes to my church but attend a later service than I do. Plus she appeared to be very concerned with how I felt about my hair. She was empathetic, she listened intently and came up with a super plan that I feel will work for me to get my hair back on track again.

Oh another thing, she saved me a ton of money by telling me to get the Alfaparf Hair Bond Rebuilding System as opposed to Olaplex. She likes Alfaparf better for afro textured hair than the Olaplex. She uses both - the Olaplex on silkier hair and Alfaparf on afro-textured hair. The Alfaparf system cost me only $67.97 while the Olaplex was going to cost me a whopping $500+. I came out on top financially today I'd say :happydance:. This was a purchase I was going to make anyway so I'm happy it's not nearly as much as I was originally planning to spend.

Needless to say, I will be selling off what I have left of my demi permanent color to a hair stylist tomorrow. Henna it is from now on.

I forgot to note here that today in addition to the Alfaparf Hair Bonder/Rebuilder I also got 2 bottles of Redken Extreme Anti Snap Leave-in treatment. I have far too many moisturizing leave-ins but no protein/strengthening leave-ins. I feel a lot more balanced now that I have both to use alternately.

My hair was shiny, yet coated. I really didn't like it. Plus the smell is loud and got on my nerves. Other than the Vatika Frosting, Hairveda products are turning out to be meh for me.
I washed my hair and tried out the new MC Moisturizing styling cream from her new line I purchased today.
