My hair is incredibly soft.

Yesterday I moisturized with CFCG on my new growth, Garnier on my length and tea tree on my scalp burns. I have SO MUCH moisture in my hair it’s not even funny. It’s like unreal soft. I think i may need a good protein treatment I dunno. Or maybe I should just milk it for all it’s worth. Hmm I dunno more or less i may put some carrot oil on the new growth and ends in stead of tea tree oil but i don’t want weight down my hair at all.

The wash was good

So the colorshowers actually took this time(i think i’m in need of an applause woohoo!) it looks great. At first the colorshowers made my hair a little hard but i followed it up with a moisturizing deep conditioner so that’s all good. I can tell that my hair is coated because it’s very strong! i love the jet black!

i honestly need to wash today

there better not be ANY lightning i’m not even kidding.

can’t wait to do the colorshowers but the lightning thing ain’t makin me happy.

Washing tomorrow

All I can say is it better not lightning.

V05 Strawberries&Creme(30m)-Clarify-NTM-V05 Honeydew-Colorshowers-Aussie DEEEP+Honey, etc.

I  hope my hair’s shiny because my date is tomorrow. My hair should be shiny. the care free curl and honey and coconut oil should make it.

So grandma came by today and was telling me how her stylist was all made because she stretched for 8 weeks. I was like wow. You’ve got to be kidding me. I’ve gone 5 months with no significant damage…1 setback and that was the matting but it ain’t coming back. Now i detangle every day! And then she had the nerve to say that i had frayed ends….urm my ends get that way when i don’t wash for a long time..and they’re uneven since i haven’t cut them and since i’ve been stretching for so long. I’ve gotta perm myself though because if i go to someone then they’re gonna rip my hair out FO SHO. i’m relaxing in like 6-7 weeks anyway. I’m only stretching to 9 weeks! woohoo.

it’s been a while…

yup it has been. so my hair has gotten better..TWO PEOPLE HAVE SAID THEY THOUGHT IT WAS A WEAVE. whoa! i don’t think it looks anything like it. but whatever, i’m modest lol. so it’s still severly underprocessed and right now i don’t really care. I’m focusing on nuturing both my hair and scalp and just letting it rest until the next relaxer. I may go to a stylist, but i have more confidence just relaxing it myself instead of being subjected to a stylist and walking out with wet hair lol. I’m going to try another brand of relaxer: Affirm or Mizani. But i’m sticking with lye as nolye causes buildup and drying.
I haven’t moisturized my hair in like a day so maybe i’ll do that if i can get off my butt.
I washed my hair before i went to disney(Clar-CON-Porosity-Motions Moisture Plus-QueenHelene-Aussie Moist+Honey+Evoo+Kemi+Coco) on thursday and it smells like poo because of all the mess i went through in orlando. Thinking of co washing it but i don’t wanna deal with the tangles. like at all. i love feeling my underprocessed hair tho. as long as it’s nicely detangled haha. NO MORE MATTS!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOO DOGGEHHHH!!! i love my hair.
Planning on washing/colorshowering on thursday, but i hafta clarify unfortuanately again but i’ll do a nice prepoo without cones(v05 duh).
V05-Clar-NTM-Colorshowers-Aph reconstructor(15 min)-DPR(1 hr)

to do list

i won’t focus on the whole relaxing atrocity that happened yesterday. just going to the stylist and getting out the few remaining matts today when i get home and moisturizing my hair. I will co wash once per week, as more will just require more detangling and more manipulation. Those matts ain’t comin’ back! Fingercombing everyday and checking my scalp every day too!

0 breakage for two days in a row!

I don’t wanna jinx it man!!! I’m getting no breakage whatsoever and my hair is shiny and full of life!

Co wash today with Tangerine Tickle V05; was gonna do strawberries&creme but i want to stay away from protein as much as possible!(soy milk protein). I’m feeling happy about my hair…worried about my scalp. =(

the aphogee smelled REALLY bad

I didn’t think the Aphogee was gonna smell that bad but it did. i mixed it with elasta qp dpr-11 and left it on for 20 minutes under the hood and 5 minutes without the hood. It was nice!
Then i mixed Aussie DEEP and honey, evoo, cocnut oil and kemi oyl and left it on for like 5 hours because it was lightning =(

No breakage yesterday and no breakage yet today!! But i did use a bobby for my braided updo…only one though!! The sore spot is going away..i hope the relaxer doesn’t burn.

o yea i just used S-curl and NTM in the morning.
