Midsummer Update

Hello loves.

Its been a minute but here's a short post to update you. June wasn't that eventful. I even slacked on washing my hair every week. I think I washed it once and cowashed it once as well.

Well now on to July, I picked up some products that I really like. The brand is African Pride and my hair has grown q liking to it. I use the anti breakage 2 in 1 shampoo and conditioner, the bouncy curls curling pudding and olive miracle hair oil. I love it all and it helps that they smell nice as well.

Well thats all for now. Later!

May Update

So I've been requested to update you all on my MAY. I've been so busy with my blog for my class that I've forgotten all about my hair journey blog. If you are interested in what I have to say over there please be so kind and visit my Graphic Design Blog.

But any who, my May hair journal is pretty bland. I didn't really put much effort into my hair. I washed every two weeks instead of the normal once a week. I wore the front twisted or braided and the back was a twist out. It was a struggle to remember to keep my hair moisturized and with the seasons changing I am on the prowl for good summer oils and moisturizers.

Remember the last post? You know, about the color fail? Well, it wasn't a complete fail. People love my color. The only problem is you can really only see it is sunlight or really good indoor lighting. I won't complain though. Even with it being a boxed color, my hair has not dried out, broken off, shed excessively, or stopped growing.

I think I am very proud of myself for sticking with my natural transitioning. my hair is so much thicker and healthier than it has ever been with relaxers.

Well that will be all for now!!!

Late L.O.V.E.S!!! :)

Color FAIL

Hey Loves!


I told to you the other day that I would be highlighting my hair using the foil method and I did. I was afraid that it would either be really light or it barely showed up at all. I was really disappointed that it barely showed up at all! All that work for a major let down. I researched a little and figured it out. I was using a temporary color. Hair colors with no ammonia in it are for short term and softer colors. And because my hair is so dark it didn't take. I did an hour and a half deep conditioning after rinsing out the color. I guess I will have to break down and buy a permanent color and one that'll work for my hair color. I really want to add some color to my hair for the spring/summer months. Any suggestions??


Later Loves!

Let's talk Color

So hello again. Let's talk about coloring. Today April 7th, the day before Easter I will be highlighting my hair using the foil method. I'm nervous but super excited because I've wanted to do this for a while now. I've been and still been researching and watching YouTube videos on the method. I will be using Clairol Natural Instincts Spiced Tea (Light Auburn 16).  It is a non-permanent color which means there is no damaging ammonia in it! 


WISH ME LUCK!!

Hair Anniversary!!

Hey Loves!!!

Guess what! Today marks 1 whole year since my last relaxer. Its been exciting and educational year. Full of trial and error. I've grown out all of my relaxed hair and I'm getting into the swing of learning to manage my fully natural hair
Excuse the crazy look on my face. Its just a look of excitement! I've really been trying to experiment with different hairstyles but I've found one that has turned out the right way! My products are SheaMoisture Transitioning Shampoo, Conditioner, and deep conditioner as well as the elixir. I guess since I'm done "transitioning" it's time for new products. More research here I come.!!

Later Loves!!!!
ps. sorry it's been so long since my last post....
