I'm in LOVE.....again

I decided to co-wash last night but ran out of my VO5 Clarifying Conditioner so i ran to Rite Aid and to was saddened to see that there was none in stock! So I spent a good 20 minutes trying to find a replacement conditioner and now i'm in LOVE ladies!!!!

Which conditioner did i end up picking up you ask???? Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition!


Product Description: Think Moisture Alone is Enough? Think Again! Hair is 3x stronger, 3x healthier with Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition!

Dry, over-dried or damaged hair feels unhealthy to the touch. It needs nourishment without being weighed down. To transform dry and damaged hair, fruit oils have the power to make hair more beautiful than ever. Olive, avocado and shea oils deeply nourish each layer of hair - weightlessly. Olive oil nourishes the hair's inner core. Avocado oil nourishes and softens the middle layer. Shea oil nourishes and smoothes the surface of the hair. Hair is fortified and infused with nutrients for silky hair, full of life.

Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition Fortifying Conditioner with 3 nutritive fruit oils nourishes so hair is silky-soft and radiant again.

OMG! This conditioner left my hair soooo clean and the slip is freakin amazing! My hair felt so damn soft. This is definitely a keeper. Of course i followed up with my Herbal Essence Hello Hydration (left that in my hair), sprayed my ApHogee Keratin & Green Tea Restructurizer, blow dried and then moisturized and sealed my hair. I moisturize my hair with good ol' S-Curl and seal with Extra Virgin Coconut Oil. Much like this:



Here's some pics on how my hair looked wet and then freshly blowdried

Another Install - Bohyme Brazilian Wave aka Bobraz

Last weekend I decided to install my last weave before I end my 7 month stretch. I'm officially planning on relaxing May 8th and I seriously can't wait. The new growth isnt really bothering me, i'm just anxious to see if I will make my goal of APL.

Since i was snowed it, i used that opportunity to install my weave. Before installing my weave i took care of my hair underneath. First I pre-poo'd with Amla Oil for 1 hour. Co-washed (condition washed) with Herbal Essence Hello Hydration (HEHH)and then dc'd with ORS Hair Mayo, 1 tbsp or Honey and EVOO for 1 hour. Rinsed and then co-washed again with HEHH. Remember, since i'm 20 weeks post my new growth makes it hard to detangle, so i always braid my hair in 8 box braids. After the washing and drying process i continue to cornrow my hair in the pattern below.

After finishing my braid pattern/base, i applied my MT, MN, Castor Oil and Peppermint oil mix to my scalp and then started to add my Bobraz. I followed SenCiti's sewn in pattern and blending method to achieve the final look.

Weekend Regi Update

First I would like to apologize for the late post. I've been sick since last Friday
with a throat infection. Anywho, I wanted to share with you guys what I did to
my hair last weekend.
I decided to take my weave out on Friday after work. Aah if felt so good to feel
my hair again. Since I'm 19 weeks post-relaxer I had to be very gentle with my
new growth and relaxed ends. I applied some Amla Oil to my hair, covered it with
a plastic bag and 2 wool hats. By putting on the two wool hats, I'm able to give
myself an overnight hot oil treatment (since your head creates its own heat). I
kept that in overnight and woke up Saturday morning to start my wash regi.
Because I'm 19 weeks post I had to braid my hair in 8 box braids so that it will
not tangle during the whole wash and dry process. *If you have problems with
detangling you hair, I would suggest using this method.

Wash Day Regimen-

I shampoo'd my hair with Suave Clarifying Shampoo since I didn't wash my hair
when I had my weave in. Then to put the moisture back in, I followed up with
Herbal Essence Hello Hydration Shampoo.
After I shampoo'd I then deep conditioned my hair with ORS (Organic Root
Stimulator) Hair Mayo, 2 tablespoons of EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil) and Honey.
I warmed this concoction up in the microwave for 30 seconds, mixed then applied
to my hair. I dc'd (deep conditioned) for 1 hour under my conditioning cap and
then rinsed with cold water. Finally, I applied Herbal Essence Hello Hydration
Condish and then proceeded with the rest of my regi.
Tired yet?
After washing and deep conditioning my hair I sprayed my Aphogee Keratin & Green
Tea Reconstrutor to protect my hair from the heat of my overhead hair dryer.
After my hair was dry, I cornrowed my hair in 8 braids and sealed the ends with
pure coconut oil and castor oil. I spritzed my hair with my moisture mix,
applied my Mega-Tek mix to my scalped and tied my hair down with a silk scarf.

I plan on keeping my hair braided like this for two weeks until I install my
curly weave on the 26th. Remember, try to give your hair a 1-2 week break after
taking out an install. So ladies, its Friday....what are your hair plans for
this weekend?
