Goals for 2012

So the new year is literally around the corner and there are definitely a couple of things I would love to have happen and things that I would love to try...

• Touching on the goals from the year before, I have been better about taking my MSM & Biotin but I could do better. I just ordered the Nioxin Recharging Complex and will add that to the mix starting with 2 a day for 6 months then 3 a day, broken tabs or not :)
• Continuing to DC weekly is a must my hair suffer the most when I slacked on doing this.
• Protective styling: I am still doing this with my weave installs, but I need to pay attention to my edges, and focus on getting them back to thickness esp. on my right side.

Things to try in 2012:

• I still want to try henna but I also want to keep my colour, I've found the henna Jen mentioned but have been hesitant to purchase it, but the next time I'm there I will.
• Nioxin Recharging complex, being shipped as I type.
• Jamaican Black Castor Oil for my edges (Rightside, I will post pictures later)

Overall goals:

• more length hopefully reaching APL by April 2012
• more thickness
• overall health

What are you goals for the new year?

End Of the Year Length Check

So after all the trims I did during the summer, going back slightly longer than shoulder length I'm happy to say I have gotten most of my length back and my roots are much thicker then after my trip to GH. 

Today I washed with Aphogee Moisturizing shampoo, then black tea rinsed, PCC, Protein with Aphoogee Two-Step, Conditioned with Aphoogee Moisture Balance, whooh!

I blew dried because I will be doing an install later on...

I think Im about 2 inches away from APL, My hope is that by April 2012 I'm a healthy APL.

What are everyones goals for the new year?

Review: Roux Porosity Control Conditioner

I Love this Product!


Why I didn't find/use it sooner I have no idea.
During my last wash before my latest install, I used this right after shampooing and before my black tea rinse. My hair felt like butter!!! this is definitely added to the the rotation in my regimen.


Thanks Jen!

Update!

So with the amount of babies being born in august & september I have been highly exhausted to even think about posting, but know that it has started to slow dow I can get back to business...

I am currently 6 weeks post relaxer, and Its wash day! Yay!

I pre-poo'd with castor oil for 3 hours (while I slept after my nightshift)

Washed with Aphogee Moisturizing shampoo

Deep Conditioned with a Cholesterol Treatment for 20 mins under the dryer

black tea rinsed

added my leave-in conditioners

I can say, my hair feels a lot better since DC'ing again

I didn't pics this time but I will the next!

Dear Hair...

I'm so Very Sorry for the treatment I've given you this summer, now I realize why you have thinned out even more and lost your swang.


I have been really mean to my hair this summer, as I had some me time yesterday it dawned on me, I haven't Deep Conditioned my hair not once this entire summer o.O


So last night I made a concoction and left it in over night...
my hair is a hot mess, I may be starting over who knows, come october I'm due for a touch up we will see then.
 I have also been slacking on the supplements, smh!
Im a mess,


Sincerely,


Priscilla


P.S.
I promise to start taking better care of you starting today

Post Chop Chop

So I got a little scissor happy but it was for the best 

I think I took of anywhere between 1/2 to 1 inch

I mean I know I still have length but the thickness =( anywho hopefully I will make APL by the end of the year, Fingers crossed

Relaxer Day

I am 3 months todays, so I relaxed...of course my hair is the thinnest its ever been but meh!
I  do see some growth I probably could have claimed APL =*(
Hopefully my future updates will be more rewarding 
I'm in between the thought of cutting off about an inch to an inch and half so that the length is even...any thoughts?

before

After

still thinking about my thickness,

Long Awaited Update

So I went to Ghana West africa on vacation...long story short the heat and sweat with my hair in the middle of a stretch = nots & breakage... =*(


So my hair has gone from this 

Its thin and lacks the body and thickness I had pre trip! I am so sad about this set back that it took me a month and a half to post something

*BTW- I dyed my hair a light brown yesterday which I ❤ despite the thin hair its on =S

Some things I plan to do...

I plan to protective style as much as possible using weaves, I have some wonderful virgin indian hair installed now

Wash, treat, deep CON with the Aphogee line

Black tea rinses

temple balm to my temples twice a day

get back on my MSM supplements daily + B-complex, fish oil and biotin

hmm... I plan to relax first week of july hence why I coloured now...so I will post a proper length check and comparison then! 

</3 until my hair is back to pre-vacation state,

-Priscilla

Slacking!

I will do an up-date in 2 weeks, I promise!!!!

Im Back

I've been MIA for a minute...
I've been in Ghana for the last month, and I have not been good to my hair =(
Updates coming soon

Edges: Revisited I

A quick update on my edge situation,


I haven't really been doing what I said I would, I think I did the castor oil thing for a couple of weeks BUT I have been pretty consistant the last 2 months with rubbing in pure unrefined shea butter into the two sides. My hair loves Shea and will lay flat like gel does *blushes* 

My left side never really had any issues, my right side has a bald patch that is slowly starting to fill in...for whatever reason my starting pics are loading properly but visit the last post for the visuals Here

Almost APL!

I also did a dusting on friday after my rollerset but these are today's pics it looks like I am an inch to 2 away from APL! now only if my hair could thicken up too ☺!

Aphogee 2-Step

Friday has become my wash day, I've been experiencing a lot more breakage than I would like and realized I have not done a protein treatment in a while. During my trip to Detroit for Black Friday I picked up the Aphogee Two-Step protein Treatment  and Balancing Moisturizer bundle.

I followed the directions to a T! and my hair came out well moisturized and with little to no breakage...mostly shed hairs. I will use this every 6 weeks as recommended. I may invest in the two-minute Keratin Treatment for weekly to bi-weekly treatment to put a stop to the breakage all together.
Two Thumbs Way up for this one

Roux Extreme Moisture Treatment DC

I had a bit of time on my hands and decided to wash my hair =)


This is the first time I'm trying Roux Moisture recovery Treatment and I am unsure of how I feel about it, but I think it is partially my fault I did not use heat during the DC'ing portion as indicated but the end result was good...So I may have to revisit again and use heat! 

I washed with CON

I DC'd with Roux Extreme Moisture Treatment

Add some CHI silk Infusion as a heat protectant

Roller set, let air dry for 1 hour

under dryer for 20 minutes

Saran Wrap for 15 minutes

Vola!

Im thinking of going Red what Do U think?

Rhelaxer Update: Jan 16 2011

So I thought I could stretch to maybe 24 weeks, but I couldn't do it. I made it a little past 14 weeks. I relaxed with the Mizani butter blends system mild formula this time, and it took to my hair fairly well, I was able to apply it quicker this time and spent a great amount of time smoothing the hair... here are the results although I didn't take pictures right after the treatment these are 1 week post...

I don't ever think I could get this long ever! APL here I come!!!!
