Back 2 The Basics...

It’s been a while since I have posted anything about MY hair. It’s been all about the lacefronts. After this slight set back I decided to start back to focusing on the health of my hair. I was also experimenting on how my hair would react if I didn’t do much to it. Results: It grew, but my hair started breaking bad. So on a desperate mission to restore health to my strands; I started using some of the old products I used when I first started my journey. Ladies let me tell you, never change your product regimen completely if what you were using actually worked! Remember that is what grew your hair or assisted in the health of your hair. So why would one stop using it?  The answer is “Hair Bandwagons!” Sometimes it’s good to jump on them and sometimes its not. So with that being said always have you a set of staple products that you can turn to in time of need…..in case that bandwagon break down.

 

Below or above (lol) are my staples / combination that work every time my hair needs that boost. I am currently using this every other night before bed. I know it’s a lot of moisture, but my hair has been deprived! Lol.  I am also continuing to use Megatek…which is a heavy protein. This growth cycle I am going for a full APL…..

11 Nov 2010 - Wash Routine

I am on a mission to get my ends thicker again L I slipped real hard when I 1st discovered lace fronts and didn’t bother to take care of my hair underneath and I fell off my regimen. I am tired of hardly making APL. It needs to stop right here. J

 

Last Night:

 

I washed my hair in cornrows. Here are the products I used and the steps I took:

 

  1. Shampooed hair 1 time with Castile Soap
  2. Conditioned with Long Term Conditioner
  3. Deep conditioned with Nu Grow Deep Conditioner for 10-15 mins in the shower with a shower cap
  4. Rinsed, wipe hair gently with a towel
  5. Sprayed my infusim 23 and Scurl mix on scalp and hair
  6. Applied LTR Split End, Neutrogena Silk Leave In and Coconut oil to my ends
  7. Put my silk cap on my head and went to sleep with damn hair

 

Results: In the morning my hair was still a little damp but it felt like butter! My hair was shedding. I know why though….because I was not doing anything to it before I got this last relaxer. Well I think.

 

Pictures: 2B added after work. I am at a new job and I have my back to the WHOLE world, lol. You know how that goes!

My 1st Time Doing My Own Corn-Rows!!

It’s not THE BEST, but I am sooo happy that I learned how to do my own cornrows YESTERDAY. J YAHHH! Thanks to a bunch of YouTube videos that I watched I was able to do it!  I know that as time passes I will get better at it. This was really a rushed job and it took like 20 to 30 mins so I know if I take my time it could be neater. My plans are to wear these cornrows under my lace fronts for 1 month, take them down….. re braid it and go for another month. This will help me to keep my hair from matting. See my last set of cornrows I wore them for like 5…6 months straight because I didn’t have anybody to redo them over here for me. I know….WTF right? LOL….I wish I would have just taken them down because it matted in the back and caused me to have a set back at the back of my head. L

Pink Lace Wig Glueless Full Lace PICTURE PORN!

Above are some pictures of the Glue-less lace wig I won from Pink Lace Wigs. The hair is continuing to hold up great and guess what? I have not WASHED the unit since I got it. There is minimal shedding and the hair does not need any product. On BHM…. one of the members showed her glueless unit from PLW and it was great. She was also rocking a nice part. It made me realize that I have not worn a part with the unit since I got it. I was kinda scared but I decided to part it and the parting is great! For this to be a glueless unit, the hair, density and color are on POINT! Check out my pictures of the part. It would be better if I was wearing a nude stocking cap but instead I am wearing a black one.

 

On another note, ladies I am not advertising for PLW. I just found a unit I REALLY REALLY like and I want the world to know, lol. Before you go out and spend $290 on a unit because it looked nice from my review….. do your research. I hate to have you hate me and me not care. J I’M JOKING…..ummm just a little. You understand…I know it. I am not going to vent again but I was informed on email that a member of one of the hair forums was going around saying I work for PLW’s. Hell I wish I did!

Picture Thieves / Message 2 Chinese Vendors

1st let me start off by saying that it’s a damn shame that I have to post my name across my face because over the last two weeks a Chinese Vendor and a Nigerian Company have stolen my pictures. Yup I said it! Actually I don’t mind the use of my picture but don’t LIE to sell your product when you know the picture does not represent your product. Hell send me a FREE wig and I will HAPPILY review it and give you all the pictures you want for free!  I am very big on being honest and I hate a liar. The only company I allowed to use my picture was Pink Lace Wigs because their Glueless unit is the BOMB! Okay enough of my venting…Just send me a free unit and we all will be VERY happy, lol.
