Can’t wait to do that ApHOGEE!

Filed under: Generally Hair — by Courtney Smith @ 4:59 pm

I can’t wait to try the ApHOGEE+DPR treatment after clarifying tomorrow. I wanna go to busch gardens so i dunno how i’m gonna airdry my hair 100% and i sure of a poo ain’t gonna wash my hair before i go to busch gardens. That’s asking for trouble. The co wash yesterday was very nice and my hair is soft and not too weighed down. I really like the two co washes in between because suprisingly it helps to make my hair less weighed down with all those stupid PROFECTIV products. God, i dunno why i bought the healthy ends. I don’t really like it. Maybe i should try to use less of it and just concentrate on my ends. whateva!Won’t buy it again anyways! I may buy the ORS Carrot Oil again though…that stuff is nice. Not buying the ORS Olive Oil Moisturizing Lotion over again bleh. Too weighed down. Dunno how i’m gonna get through a whole bottle of that stuff…but anyway…this is what i’m gonna buy for my bday!

* Keracare Humecto Creme Conditioner Bucket – for moisturizing deep condition. I need another good moisturizing deep conditioner other than my aussie deeeep and elasta qp dpr-11
* Paul Mitchell: The Conditioner – I heard a lot of raves about this and i know that PM is the shiz so i gotta try it out! If it works i can use it as a quickie conditioner!
* Motions After-Shampoo Moisture Plus Conditioner Bucket- I can use this as a cheapie moisturizer conditoner or as a deep conditioner mixed with other stuff. I know i used to love me some moisture plus!
Mizani Butter Blend Relaxer Normal - Trying out this relaxer system.
* Scissors- I need this to cut my hair!
* NTM Silk-Touch – I need like 4 bottles of this. I ain’t even playing!
* the old Aussie DEEEP – I’m gonna try stocking up on this(like 4 bottles). I don’t wanna use the new one!

I practiced with cond!!

Filed under: Generally Hair — by Courtney Smith @ 1:20 pm

So yea, I practiced with conditioner yesterday. And I learned some stuff. Like duckbill clips will not work because they just get in the way. And that the easiest way is to separate with your fingers and apply with the index so that you can feel the new growth. And put Elasta Qp DPR-11 on previously relaxed hair and let dry! I think It’ll work out. I’m gonna work vertically on the left and right sides and in the middle I’m going to go horizontally. =) Can’t wait! Almost one more week left!! Only like 3 breakage yesterday. Co wash with Honeydew Melon V05 and ponytail today.

3 breakage today and brought out the lovely s-curl and wahlaahh soft swanging hairr. =) Im glad I decided to use it today! It made my hair ultra soft…maybe too soft and that’s why I’m gonna use just a little bit of Profectiv Healthy Ends today to restore some protein back into my hair. ONE MORE WEEK. ONE MORE WEEK. My scalp is still sore. dunno why. seeing as though i don’t use pins… =.= ugh i can like cringe in pain from it. It’s been on my scalp since like 2 weeks ago man. I really don’t know what’s up..maybe i’ll do an lhcf search to see if streching=sore scalp.

Nothing much

Filed under: Generally Hair — by Courtney Smith @ 1:34 pm

Nothing much has happened…just not been moisturizing that much =) bad courtneyyy…and found two matted places where i had left the conditioner in. lol that’s not good =) I only have two more weeks anyway. Ponytail today. It’s so cute!

10 breakage yesterday because of the infamous “dread.” i didn’t count the breakage just setting it at 10 because i’m a lazy bum. No breakage yet today.

i pulled off 3 breakage from my splits =) i’m so weird!!

WASH DAY!

Filed under: Generally Hair — by Courtney Smith @ 2:29 pm

So I’m doing a prepoo with v05 Sunkissed Raspberry and i think i’m lovin this conditioner =D I mean really. When i put it on my hair it was sooo soft! Then I’m washing with Garnier, then NTM, then conditioning with Porosity Control then conditioning with Herbal Essences Hello Hydration, deep conditioning with Motions CPR for 1hr, then with Aussie DEEEEP+Honey+Coconut+EVOO+Kemi for 1.5hr. phew.

So the Motions CPR was ok. it made my  hair a little dry but that’s because of the hydrolyzed collagen. Also, all the herbs made my hair itch for like 2 or 3 minutes and a few herbs got stuck in my new growth lol.
The v05 sunkissed rasberry conditioner was ok. It was like there was not conditioner in my hair at all when i went to rinse it out. I guess that’s because it’s a balancing conditioner. Not meant to give much moisture, you know?
My hair is really airdrying quite nicely. I put NTM Silk-Touch on it then the paul mitchell superskinny serum(only 1 pump). It’s almost 100% dry!

PRODUCT REVIEW: Porosity Control Conditioner

Filed under: Product Reviews — by Courtney Smith @ 7:26 pm

Name – Roux Porosity Control Conditioner

Description -
Controls perm, color and relaxer results. Use before a chemical service to prevent chemical shock, to equalize hair porosity and ensure predictable results.

Moisturizes, detangles, lusterizes. Helps create more uniform color, perm and relaxer results. Leaves hair natural looking, vibrant and manageable.

Ingredients – coming soon =D

Instructions - Porosity Control Conditioner: Step 1 in the triple protection haircare system. Use before a chemical service to prevent chemical shock, to equalize hair’s porosity and ensure predictable results. Moisturizes, detangles and lusterizes.

How I used it – I used the Porosity Control after shampooing with Garnier Fructis for Dry/Damaged Hair and NTM. I put it on my hair for about 5-10 minutes under a shower cap while washing regularly in the shower.
My verdict – After washing the conditioner out, my hair was SOFT and sooo easy to comb through. At that time I was about 12 weeks post and I had been having trouble combing through my hair. But with the Porosity Control, I had no such problems! I highly recommend this!! The consistency is really watery but it’s so nice!
The only down to Porosity Control is the price. It costs about 9 dollars for 16 ounces. I won’t repurchase it because I am trying to shy away from a lot of silicones, but this is recommended for anyone who has tangle problems or porous hair.

Overall rating – (1-10) 8

I may co wash today

Filed under: Generally Hair — by Courtney Smith @ 6:40 pm

Sooo…I’m thinking that I’m gonna co wash today because man my hair is starting to REALLY look like a nappy mess. And it doesn’t even matter if I’ve washed it like the day before or anything. I’m just gonna do a quickie rinse with V05 Strawberries and Creme then on Sunday I’m gonna think about doing the Aphogee treatment…probably not. I’ll probably just do the Reconstructor the week before.

Lookin’ up stuff to do before a relaxer!

UPDATE: K never mind. i’m doing the aphogee treatment before the relaxer: Raspberry(30)-DegunkifyClarifying-CON-Aphogee+DPR-Aussie+coco+honey+evoo(3hr)
Cool beans. I think it’ll be nice. Then I won’t co wash my hair afterwards because I don’t wanna irritate my scalp.

Combed the wrong way

Filed under: Generally Hair — by Courtney Smith @ 1:38 pm

I combed too much yesterday and got 8 breakage total when i did Aussie M + Honey(30 min) + ORS Replenishing + Hello Hydration. Today ponytail…AGAIN. lol my hair airdryed well because I only put on NTM Silk-Touch.

My hair has been FLOURISHING from stretching my relaxer so long. I’m going to do 16 weeks every time and start trimming half an inch for a year in march. 2008 is gonna be about thickening up my healthy hair and treating it right! My nape is sooo long now! Like it’s not even my “nape” it’s like the lower lower part of my neck lol. I’m getting the Solia flatiron for my bday and using it when I reach BSL in like July 2008. I can’t wait! No more products right now though…i think i can deal lol. Although i do need a moisturizing deep conditioner. I’m thinking of getting the Keracare Humecto Tub for like 30 or something dollars. and i need hair cutting shears in march next year. I can’t wait until my hair is BSL. i just can’t wait! And I can’t wait to relax!!! I can’t wait to see the new growth that  I have.
