I just did a protein DC with heat for 30 minutes and my hair feels amazing. Motivation to stick to my regimen: my hair will behave.....most of the time, when I take care of it.

All I got was a 2 hour delay! But that was enough time to wash and DC though. Just no time to style smh
Let me check for the next possible snow!

Checking in
3 weeks in with these box braids. I'm starting to miss my hair but they still look very nice so I can't let myself waste $40 and take them out. 3 more weeks at the least and 5 more at the max. I planned to do a DC at every 2 week mark so DC #2 will be happening this weekend. Hmmm what else, ill be 8 weeks post this week so if I wait it out I can really stretch my relaxer to about 14ish weeks which is what my goal is for this year, not too long not too short.

My hair is definitely on the grow. At least it seems like it 
. I did a random length check and I think I'm full or a little past APL. I also checked the hair by my ears and it's a bit longer too!!!!! I am so happy because that area was so difficult to grow while I was natural. My hair has also righted itself post-relaxer, and I'm loving it

I had a few broken strands in the front of my head and I panicked...I picked up some aphogee keratin green tea spray. I sprayed my hair concentrating on the demarcation line (im color treated). I wore a baggy and turbie towel to activate the protein. I hope this stops the breakage in its tracks

Prettymetty Aphogee Green Tea usually instantly stops any breakage I have. It is the only thing that I use with silicones.

I have had a hard time keeping moisture in my hair and I know it's because of the weather. This month, I'm going to start GHE every other day like schely10.
I think when I take the baggy off--I'm going to seal it with coconut oil and place into a bun. I hope these ends can make it for the duration of the winter.

Did a perm rod set last Friday and it's still holding up. I have it in a cute updo. I probably will put it in a puff tomorrow. I think I will do a flexi rod set on Friday. I need to lay off the protein next wash day. I think I used a little to much with my last DC and it was very difficult to detangle.

Trying out a few new samples this morning on various strands and half/half for comparison. It's cool because it's wash day. I have an itch to straighten my hair but I've been retaining moisture so well with this new air dry technique I learned. I'll wait until Valentines Day.
I think I'll try inversion thanks to trendsetta25 I didn't use the app yesterday and I could see your siggy for the first time. I visited your blog wow great come back and such fast growth.
I want to flat twist my hair back or braid it back and twist the ends for 2 wash days or 10 days but I don't want to ruin my ends. Once they're dry they're done and braid sprays are a no go.

I'm still enjoying my perm rod set I did Friday night. I have it in a cute up do. I think I will do a flexi rod set on Friday. I'm gonna have to lay off the protein this next wash day. I think I used a little too much.
I have a question, is the roux porosity control corrector and conditioner considered a light protein or not? And if anyone uses this as a final conditioner, do you use it after every wash? If not how often?

Decisions decisions. Do I wash my hair tomorrow and rock whatever this curly thing is, or do I bun it or do a braidout deal and hold out until Sunday? I'm leaning towards the first. My scalp might be acting a little funny
Hmmm, I'd say moisturize and bun ESP if tomorrow would require you to do a rushed job. Plus-I'm all for that bun life right now. It's cold out here I these streets.

jennwantslonghurr, what samples are you trying out? I was thinking about trying out this conditioner that's made with hemp seed and hemp seed oil. I think it's by naturalie(sp).

I've had the best braidout 2day. But I think next time I will continue to do the 4braids in the back of my hair and only two braids in the front. I like a looser curl towards the front and then a tighter curl in the back. I used to do four braids all around, but I'm now doing 8braids, due to the thickness of my hair. I also finally tried using raw shea butter as my sealant. That stuff is AMAZING!!!!! I can't believe I've waited this long to try it. I think I was scarred to use it as a sealant, because I once used it in my DC (w/o melting it) & I had chunks of it in my hair. My hair is still soft & moisturized. I'll upload some pics in alittle bit (there on my cell).
In other hair news. I'm experiencing alittle breakage; nothing too alarming but enough for me to notice. I think my hair is finally over the protein overload, so I think I will do a light protein treatment this weekend. I did do a light protein on the back of my hair last weekend but I didn't leave it on long enough.

I've been trying different pomades from the pomade shop. I tried their coffee scalp scrub during prepoo today very nice. Ive been testing ingredients that act like protein before washing for strength; afterwards I can condition and moisturize heavily if I need to balance. I am terrified of protein overload! Once is enough. I'm glad to hear you are over yours.
I tried purabody mmm today as a leave in and I'm floating off the softness. Yesss I see what everyone was taking about. I also tried annabelle's prefect blends hair cream without the saa pretty good heavy cream.
I never tried hemp seed oil since so many oils are temperamental for me. Is it a cermide? I want to use more natural hair products but they are like hit or miss. I also have very slight breakage. Maybe from buns? Idk I do have 1-4 inches of hair from before I started my hhj.
I think I have some shea butter in the back of the closet haha. You let me know how it goes!
I'm still looking for butters shampoo and conditioners lol any recommendations of vendors that carry samples from anyone will be much appreciated .

Have been living in buns after a little stint with half wigs. In about 8 flat twists since Sat for a twistout but couldn't be bothered so bunned those too. Oiling scalp with WGO and sealing ends with EVCO.
