Final Update

Hey guys,

This will be my final post on this blog (tear). I'm still working on my new site hairdelacreme.com and it's hard work i tell you. I'm doing it all by myself so it wont be the best of best...lol. Any-who, i wanted to update you on my hair journey.

A few weeks ago i took my Bohyme out so that i could relax my hair on the 25th. To my surprise (after detangling my hair for 1 HOUR!)...i realized that i hit my goal of BSB! Ladies, when i straightened that first piece with my flat iron and then turn to the mirror (using another mirror to see the back) i screamed!!!! I couldn't believe my hair was that long! I truly believe my growth spurt was due to the Hairfinity Vitamins i was taking. I'm glad i bought another 2 months worth :-)

Look at the new growth!!!





I was too anxious to relax and ended up relaxing on the 22nd. I used Affirm as my relaxer and the results were great! I also used Creme of Nature's Neutralizing Shampoo and DC'd with my ORS Hair Mayo, Honey, 1 teaspoon of Tea Tree Oil and Aphogee's 2 Min Reconstructor. I had some trouble self relaxing because i wasn't used to my hair being so long. I protected my relaxed ends with Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Petroleum Jelly. I had a few accidents like the hair with relaxer on it flying into my eye (NO BUENO!!!!) and some relaxer falling on my forehead. I should have based my hairline to protect my hair from the relaxer but i was too anxious and ended up burning (literally) my temple and the skin below my eyebrows (SMH).

After relaxing i used got2b's Guardian Angel Heat Protectant, blow dried, moisturized with Creme of Nature's Lemongrass & Rosemary Leave-in Creme Conditoner, sealed with Extra Virgin Coconut Oil and flexirod my hair. I let the flexirods sit in my hair for about 2 hours and then i wrapped my hair and then put on my silk scarf.

I tried to take good pics of the results...Do you see the shinyness on the roller? :-D


I dont think i will be installing weaves in my hair (maybe i'll change my mind in a few months lol) because i lost a lot of shed hair due to the speed in my growth and now my hair feels thin. My mom thinks that the reason why my hair feels thin is because it's freshly relaxed but i think i will chill out with the weaves and bun or wig it for the rest of the winter. I'll probably weave it for the spring and then relax in the summer....who knows.

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?
