Hair update!

Yesterday I decided to once again straighten my hair. Usually I apply texturizers but this time I went with an actual perm. I have sticked to self perming, and I can honestly say that after only my second time of doing it myself I am so comfortable now! It's really fun.

My last texturizer was late December 2010. I wanted to stretch my relaxer but my hair was contradicting to my thoughts! The more I stretched the more my hair was breaking! I wanted to reach my 3 month stretch, but after seeing that my hair was continuously breaking I decided to go ahead and apply!

Ive been on top of my hair. Since its natural strands are extremely thin, my hair can not take what a lot of other textures can. I am still doing my co-washes twice a week and clarifying once a month. My deep conditioner has changed. I have gone back to my alter ego products which always seem to do wonders for my hair (Thanks mom for mailing me the package). I use the garlic deep conditioner and its bringing back the volume that my hair lacked after it fell out
                             
                                 Ok, Here are my results:


I also did a very light trim on my hair. Very light, nothing like a salon where you want a trim and they always wind up giving you a hair cut, Gosh, I used to hate that! Well, I will keep you guys updated on my hair journey results! So far I am loving it!

PEACE

    Thank you Konner! I thought I was done too but my hair was breaking a lot and I needed to apply some of that Creamy crack or my hair would have fallen out again.

    Texturizers are great for my hair but since I am gaining volume once again my new growth is way thicker so the texturizer was leaving me a bit underprocessed :/

    From what I can tell from the photo you did an excellent job. I'm no expert on hair care but I know beautiful hair when I see it.

Eco Styler Gel Olive Oil Wash and Go!

Image
I am absolutely in love with this gel! Its gives great hold and allows for me to have preserved wash and go's for as long as I want before washing my hair! The smell is light and with the new technique that I am using when I do my wash and go's drying time has minimized! My curls hang a lot more with the new technique. Although I still experience shrinkage (which comes with the territory of being natural) I must say that I am very pleased with the dry ending results. Here is my day 3 hair WNG: I have yet to try the other Eco Styler gels but so far I am more than pleased with what the Eco Styler gel Olive Oil can do for my hair. I get a lot of questions as to whether or not it makes my hair crunchy, hard, flaky, or dry and my answer to all of these is no. It does give a good hold but not crunchy at all, I always get movement with my hair- its never stiff. I also want everyone to be aware that I apply my leave in conditioner and oi

My Perfect Wash and Go!

Image
I have finally perfected my wash and go's! I've had great wash and go days but I was constantly struggling with trying to eliminate frizz. Today as I browsed through YouTube I payed close attention to Mahogonaycurls technique and how she achieves her wash and go styles. One technique in particular was what caught my attention and had the little voice in my head say, "try it! I really believe this will work for your hair as well". I did not even finish watching the video when I found myself in the bathroom trying this new technique. The technique is simple, all I did was apply Eco styler gel on my dry hair (you can also do it on wet or damp hair, just wanted to minimize my shrinkage- why I chose to apply the gel on dry hair) and section it off in really small sections. Apply the gel and continue until fully done- my hair looks and feels very moisturized, which is exactly what I've been longing for with my wash and go's. I will continue to do this technique- m
