Sew in Woes

Last week I attempted my first long term protective style. It was a lesson learnt.I ombred 2 bundles of malaysian curly hair and did an invisible part sew in. It looked nice except I do not have many photos because it lasted 1 day and some hours. I love my hair and I refuse to be uncomfortable just for a style. I used a weaving  net and all the works. But my scalp started to burn and my edges looked like they were under extreme pressure. So I decided to undo it,I was bummed because of the time and money I placed into it but healthy hair trumps it all.The conclusion to all this fiasco is that I am extremely tender headed considering the factors. Braids and weaves are a definitely no,no for me. I think I would stick to what I know works for me.

Killing two birds with one stone *update*

Previously, I spoke about adding a "cheapie" conditioner to my protein treatments to cut down on my wash day steps. After a deep reflection I decided not to because I think I may weaken or alter the protein conditioner in some form. But I am happy to tell you that a "cheapie" conditioner after my protein treatments are great. My quest for finding the ultimate moisturizing "deep" conditioner is over. Sometimes the littlest and cheapest things makes a big difference.

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.
