Guess What...

I changed my mind, I tend to do that a lot. After 15 weeks 6 days post-relaxed I self relaxed. And boy oh Boy am I every happy with my progress. I've never had luxuriously full thick hair like my sisters but my new length just has my cheeks hurting.

 
I based my hair line with vaseline and put Chi Silk Infusion on my previously relaxed ends. I relax with Mizani Butter Blends in Fine/Coloured strength. I relaxed my new growth in one step & used Jen's method of sectioning the hair before hand. I really love this method, because this time I was not under processed at all.



As I am beginning to rinse the relaxer out, I pour a healthy amount of white vinegar in my hair to start the neutralizing process, I makes the room smell like eggs but it decreases the amount of burns I end up with each time.


After rinsing out, I applied Aphogee's two minute keratin reconstructor for 2 minutes, then apply the neutralizing shampoo. Now because I used the vinegar the first time, the suds were white, I shampoo'd twice. Then applied Roux Porosity Control for 2-3 minutes, rinsed then applied the Neutralizing conditioner and left that on for 20 minutes with a shower cap as I showered.

After rinsing the conditioner out, I towel dried and sprayed in Aphogee's Keratin & Green Tea Reconstruizer Leave In, Tresemme Heat protectant, and Organix Coconut Milk serum, detangled with a wide tooth comb, and then rollerset my hair. 

It took about 45 minutes under the dryer  to be completely dry.





After the take down I applied PM skinny serum, wrapped my hair in saran warm and when back under the dryer for another 5 minutes. *whew*



The Morning After (today)







So My goal of APL is checked off, on to MBL!!!

6 weeks on Nioxin...

It seemed as though ever 2 weeks I had too much new growth to deal with under my installs, so after 3 installs I've decided to take a little break from the weave...

I washed and DC'd as I normally do and heres some views

I think I have a little more than am inch in there of NG 


I did have a lot of knots hence why I'm taking a break from the weaves for a bit


I want to claim APL but I don't know if I can But looking  at my hair makes me blush all over!

I plan to relax first week of april, I'm currently 10 weeks post relaxer hoping to make it to 16 weeks and get back on track, wis me luck!

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?

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,
