A Perfect Combination

Lately I've been in love with Queen Helene's Super Cholesterol Conditioner. This conditioners helps people with hair that suffers from too many chemical treatments, over-processing, blow-drying or exposure to the elements and restores extremely-damaged hair. It contains a proprietary Choleplex formula that blends Cholesterol with elements like Aloe and Keratin Amino Acid Protein to deep condition and rejuvenate over-stressed hair, while protecting it from future split ends and breakage.

Every wash I will put this stuff on dry hair and then seal it with either Honey or Evoo. Honey is a natural humectantthat retains moisture. It also helps hair increase its elasticity. Don't worry ladies, honey rinses completely clean so you don't have to worry about having that sticky feeling on your hair. I love the way my hair feels with this combination.....nice and soft! It's pretty cheap too. I pick me up a 2 lb container of the Queen Helene in Wal-Mart for under $8. I go through a container in about 5 washes so i'm going to pick up a bigger one tomorrow. This conditioner is definitely a keeper!

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?
