A great protective style

First impression of Elasta QP Mango and Olive Oil Moisturizer as a Leave in

As you may know some moisturizers can be doubled as a leave in conditioner. Today I decided to try this product as a leave in just to see how my hair would react. I applied the moisturizer after adding few pumps of Vitale Olive Oil Antibreakage Foam Wrap Lotion and I sealed it using ORS Hair Repair Vital Oils. After applying all products I proceeded to roller setting my hair. When I finished roller setting my hair I realized the power was out,so I waited nearly 4 hours before being able to sit under my dryer. I sat under my dryer for 30 minutes just to complete the drying process the proceeded to taking down my rollers. 
My hair was smooth and soft to the touch with great luster. Instantly, I felt like I've found the one. I am happy my hair turned out the way it did. I am only one week post therefore I would wait and see if my results vary down the line.Stay tuned!

Red Hot Rhythm

For a month or two I've been contemplating changing my hair. Obviously cutting is out because it defeats the purpose of my hair journey. Let me come out and say it, I want to color my hair. I know persons on a healthy hair journey stay clear of hair coloring and dyes. My hair is at a length where I am satisfied and just want to do a little more. I don't believe hair coloring is the end of one's hair. I believe it's how you care for your hair after  you decide to color it. The color I have in my mind is Dark & Lovely Red Hot Rhythm. Its a redish bronze color that would compliment my skin tone beautifully. I am officially color crazed and feel the urge to get it out of my system.

Hair Haul (4)

Few weeks ago I swore I would stick to my current products. But yet again I had that itch. The itch to try a new product. I love reading and watching reviews because I think they are enlightening. To be honest most of the products in my stash I came upon them through reviews. Without further delay the product I was sold on is the Elasta QP's Mango and Olive Oil Moisturizer. It seems to be a good product after skimming and scanning the ingredients.  I plan to try this product as a leave in and a daily moisturizer.Stay put!Review coming soon!

My first attempt of a twist and curl


Killing two birds with one stone.

Today it is all about cutting down on time and cost therefore we look for simpler means of doing so. I think wash days can be hectic and sometimes feel like a chore. Yesterday I was reflecting on my actions and I had an aha moment or a light bulb lit up.Relaxed or natural one of the things you must learn to master is the protein and moisture balance inorder to retain length. I am covered in that area because I normally follow my protein treatments with a moisturizing conditioner. Every time I wash my hair I ALWAYS do a protein treatment. I can't wash my tress without adding a protein treatment then you can imagine the task of going under my dryer and facet twice. To cut down on the process I decided that from my next wash day on wards I am going to add Vo5 or another moisturizing conditioner to my protein treatment. Wish me luck!After 1 or 2 months I would be sure to give you the intel
