This morning I:
Covered my previously texlaxed hair with a mixture of Affirm Preservo and Chi Silk Infusion
Based my scalp with Blue Magic Castor Oil Grease
Texlaxed with a mixture of Afirm Fiberguard Mild Lye relaxer, Keracare Restorative Mask and Sunflower Oil
Mid-Protein treat with a mixture of Affirm Sustenance and Neutral Silk Protein for 5 minutes
Neutralized with Affirm Neutralizing Shampoo followed by 1 minute of French Stabilizer Plus to further bring down pH - my hair is usually very hard after using the French Stabilizer and I don't know why but it makes my hair feel pretty strong so I keep using it.
Deep Conditioning with a combination of Bekura Cocoa Bark and YAM Nectar for 30 minutes.
Oil Rinsing in the shower with hot Pumpkin Seed Butter (melted)
Detangling with Terrene Fusions Moisturizing Detangling Cream
Leave-In with APB Leave In Conditioner.

Me and Mommy made it to Sydney with no problems!!! We arrived at 6 am AUS time. It's currently 11:52pm here but it's 9:52 am (ATL time), so my sleep cycle is going to be all off for this next week!
BTW, I wore a beanie (with my rollers underneath) and no one was none the wiser!!
It's unseasonably cool today. The Aussies promise it will be warmer tomorrow. There is NO humidity, so I expect to have a great hair week!

still cruising through to the end of the year. i considered putting braids in, but i *don't want to put tension on my edges. i just have my halfwig. although it is the wrong color, it doesn't stand out so much when my hair is straight.
i've been at least trying to condition my hair along the edges before I straighten it. i've been wearing it pressed out. it seems to be doing fine this way.

I need to wash my hair soon, because my scalp treatment (Nioxin) isn't tingling enough anymore. Last wash day was Thursday.

Overnight last night I Deep Conditioned on dry hair with 4 Bella Naturale' Cocoavonana mixed with Terrene Fusions Ultra Rich Mango Deep Conditioner.
Today I :
Added a pre poo oil on top of my DC and allow it to sit for 20 minutes before detangling and washing it out
Shampooed with Jason Naturals Thin to Thick Shampoo
Quick rinse out with the remainder of the TF URM Deep Conditioner
Leave-in with Bel Nouvo Avocado & Shea Hair Milk.
I also did a demi color on my hair as well, followed with a quick oil rinse to soften, leave-in and bun for the day.

I washed my hair this morning. It has been in a bun for forever lol. Felt good to wash it. More than likely will be back in a bun tomorrow. Was going to do some twists for a twistout Monday but I'm too lazy for that right now.

I wanted to do a little more myself, but also too lazy

I'm all crocheted up. My hair won't be loose until the week before Dec 8th. That's my next install date.
I'm trying to protective style until March 2017.

I was thinking about doing this for my cruise in November. Still haven't gotten the nerve for them yet though. I really don't want to be bothered with my hair during that time

Give it time. The feeling should pass. Many of us experience that settling in phase.

This is so true. I first had braids and was about to pull them out after about a month, but I just moisturized and just didn't take them out. I had braids back to back for six months. I didn't even care. I could do it again. Now, I have a bun and I'm feeling the same anxiousness, but I know that in a while I will be over it and I'll be able to wear this style for a loooong time. i"m thinking at least feb 4, the day of this run i'm doing

Yeah it's weird. I keep thinking about putting in Marley twists and the thought gives me anxiety.
Every protective style I wanted to remove in the first two weeks but once I settle in I can leave it in for months.

I've always been interested, but somehow fail to invert before reaching the 7th day. Im going to try again! I really slacked off last month, I want to see what I can yield these next few months by inverting.
Since I moved away for school, I had no time to get a crochet style in
... Still protective styling, wigs until further notice.Im sad that I have not washed in soo long, my scalp massage game has not been consistent AND I forgot my blow dryer back home. Hoping to do what I can this weekend.
On the upside, I increased my biotin intake from 500mcg(january) to 1000mcg(august) and since september to 2500mcg --- and no acne WOOHHOO! When I tried two years ago, I was in acne city...
I have been moisturizing and oiling my hair pretty regularly too. That was the game changer for my recent length retention.

Hair is rolled...Is it "hood" to go on the plane in rollers? (I'll be on a 23 hour flight)
Ahah naa, I shamelessly walked through airport security sensors with 4 wig-worthy-dookie braids on my head
I put my satin scarf right back on after that. I had a wig in my purse and thought about going in to plane without the wig and coming out with it on but I decided against.
