Well my comparison picture is one month shy of a year but I wont be home to do the update in March :( It has been a LONGGGG journey for me. I suffered 2 setbacks from happy scissor stylist, & 1 shedding setback. My hair is supposed to be so much longer but I am happy where its at now. My next mission will be to thicken the ends again. Next update time, I don't want to relax...I will just get her to flatiron it really good as she did before.

The back ground is green cause I am playing with my green screen. Green screen lets you create any background image behind you. Duh right? Anyway....I did a video on YouTube withe my short hair and I changed the background to grey poka dots. I deserve a BIG cookie for that. :) But umm It is still uploading.. I have to JUMPSTART this internet connection every now and then, so I am sure in the morning the video will NOT be loaded. :( If thats the case I will have it uploaded by the end of tomorrow (today), I promise. :) Well I am off to sleep ...its 2am.

Review of Athena's Kiss from the MAC "Wonder Woman Collection
TWISTED UP! *RPG UNIT*
RPG has gotten at least $900 - $1,000 from me in the last ....what..... 8 days. After I received that 1st unit from them when I 1st got to Bama, I went crazy and started stocking up like it was going to be a shortage. Well actually it is due to the fact they do not ship APO. I would hate wait and ship it thur APOBOX.com and have to pay an EXTRA $14 for shipping to Iraq. Anyway..... after I returned from ATL today I decided to do a little playing in my hair and this is what I came up with. Later I decided 2 add a banana clip to the back.

Review: RPG SHOW
Now on to the good stuff! STR8 outta the package, this unit is the best! This is the best hairline ever. So far, the hairline beats PLWs. Sawwwry, but the truth is the truth. Once I cut the lace and apply it, I will give a full review. Maybe... 2morrow. The only thing is the price! Starting off with a 14 in is $293! And to make it 16inches they add $60 darn dollars!! Thats too much for a CV to charge! I tell u one thing. This unit betta last me for a while. If not like my papa say, I will be raising some "sand!" -- u gotta be from the county to understand that. :) Lol! But here are some Guuud watermarked pics of the unit without the lace cut.

Kinky Yaki Lace Wig Review... Revisited
Thursday, February 10, 2011
JBCO has a PH of 10 - WOW! <-- That ='s Bad 4 My Hair!
Anything above a pH of 8 starts working like a chemical treatment.
alkali will open up the cuticle and an acid will flatten it
alkaline means that the product has a pH level of 7 or over and it is a non-acidic product. The cuticle opens up when an alkaline substance is applied to it
Acidic Hair Products
Most hair products don’t contain strong acids other than some perming solutions. Conditioner has a slightly acid pH. Mild acid has a an opposite effect to alkalis and flattens the cuticle making your hair easier to comb and look shinier.
an alkali product will open up the cuticle. A small amount of baking soda disolved in warm water will do it.
Heat will also help open the cuticle
Close cuticle with cold water
An acidic shampoo or conditioner (pH below 6.9) causes the hair cuticle to lay down resulting in a smooth manageable hair.
An alkaline shampoo or conditioner (pH above 7.1) causes the cuticle to raise resulting in tangled unmanageable hair
the pH of sebum (hair's natural oil that is created by your scalp) is 5
to get maximum hair benefits use products that have a pH that mirrors the hair's natural pH of 4.5-5.5 (slightly acidic)
alkalies OPEN the hair's cuticle and acids CLOSE the cuticle - hair is it's strongest when the cuticle is closed
water has a pH of 7
baking soda has a pH of 8 or 9
apple cider vinegar has a pH of 2-3
hair relaxers have a pH range of 9-14 which alters your hair strands from being naturally acidic to very alkaline
LYE relaxers have a pH of 10-14
NO-LYE relaxers have a pH of 9-10
