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!!

Hello Loves

Hello all. I told you I wouldn't leave you waiting so long for a new post

I never told you about my Henna disappointment.

Well I ordered a henna kit from amazon.com and I was mega excited. So I waited and waited for its arrival. When it got here I was like "Ooh I'm gonna do this today" I began reading the box and directions and to may dismay the box read "DO NOT USE ON CHEMICALLY TREATED HAIR." I could've cried. That was two months ago and I haven't colored my hair.




April 24th was Easter and on Friday night I deep conditioned my hair. This was the first time I deep conditioned since February. Sad and shameful I know! Saturday I washed and blow dried my hair. It then braided the front and flat ironed and pin curled the back.



I think I am going to break down and color my hair with a previously purchased product I mentioned in an earlier post. I'm just ready for something new and different but I'm broke so I gotta use what I have.

Later you LOVES
