-white male classmate: "omg what the hell have you done with your hair!?!?!".

I am one of the 15 black students at my school haha, one of the few that has relaxed hair and he has only seen me with straight hair the two years HE has been there.....so I DUNO. Maybe he was just shocked. He is also very judgy and misogynistic to women so, ugh.
 
Went to Sally's today and purchased some shower caps and a new hair moisturizer called African Pride Olive Miracle Moisturizer Lotion. The Sally's near my campus didn't offer many options, so it was between this and the Beautiful Textures Tangle Taming Leave-In Conditioner (which I now have a coupon for and may try out if I dislike the one I bought). My choice was only 2.99 though so I said "why not!" :drunk:

So there are things I like and dislike about this product even before testing it out. I think the packaging is a little tacky/old-school...but I guess that's the brand's interpretation of an "African" vibe. I also dislike the smell of it...it's not an unpleasant smell, but it's Jolly Rancher fragrance is overpowering (which is surprising because it's last on the ingredients list!). BUT, I do like that there isn't any mineral oil in it (there's lanolin oil, but it's one of the last ingredients), and I like that the formula isn't greasy (at least in my hands) despite having a ton of oils in it (very good oils, like olive, shea, tea tree, coconut, and jojoba!) I'll moisturize my hair tonight with it and see how it goes!

I use that moisturizer and I love it
 
I wish I had more time to do my hair :ohwell: I need a continuous uninterrupted period to do my hair for wash, dc, rollerset and dry. I've tried to break it up last week by dry DCing overnight but my hair didn't feel as good as it normally does, and sleeping with conditioner in my hair makes my scalp itch like a mug :nono:. Doing my hair late at night is a joke cause I get impatient and I take out the rollers before its completely dry, cause i just wanna sleep :yawn: So the plan my next off day, is to start super early in the am so that by the time i'm done i still have the whole day ahead of me.
 
Hummm decisions decisions... Should I try my hand at roller setting or twisting my hair this weekend:). Napp made her rollerset so pretty that I think I might just go with that.

Love my purple hair but now I'm thinking turquoise. I should probably bleach a wig though so my real hair doesn't suffer anymore...

turquiose is hella problems to wash out. it turned my bleached hair grass green (not attractive) and then when i needed to change colors i had to wash my hair with dial dish soap to get the green out so my hair wouldnt have a nasty green undertone.

sososososo bad for my hair. thankfully all That hair had been cut off by now.

Yeah, that's what I'm worried about ;_;
I always just bleached the front and the underlayer. It's been brown, red, blonde and orange and now purple. So definitely abusing the wig this time. My current wig is dip dyed purple and pink.

I only had to deal with a little green when I bleached over MP but that was enough to give me trauma....
 
I really want to like AG Fast Food -- it smells good, great ingredients, and I haven't seen a bad review on it. Day one of using it as a moisturizer and can't stop touching my bun b/c it feels super silky and soft.
 
It seems after week 8 post relaxer, protein is a no no for me. I did my usual wash day routine of deep condition on dry hair and wash with Creme of Nature Argan oil products. Well after rinsing out the shampoo, I apply a little Aphogee 2 min reconstructor and left it in for a few minutes. Usually it rinses with a good amount of slip but yesterday my hair was a tangled mess, I added some more intensive conditioner but it didn't help. I didn't have an increased amount of breakage while doing my rollerset but had to take more time than usual detangling my hair.
 
Is anybody else loving Vidal Sassoon Pro Series Moisture Lock (that's a mouthful lol) condish and shampoo?? I noticed it in Target about 2 weeks ago and decided to try it. AMAZING. I'm going to keep using it before I give my final verdict, but I think this might replace my Infusium 23 and Aussie 3min. It's that nice. I can detangle easily with the condish and the shampoo rinses out so soft. And it smells great :3 maybe I'll do a full product review in a few weeks. I already purchased another bottle of the condish to keep in my stash :look: I like to stock up lol

They even have a hair mask as a part of this line :look: I might have to pick some of that up lol

spellinto you can return it to sallys and use your credit to purchase the other product with coupon. It would be practically free:)

Thanks winona :) I think that's what I'm about to do. The smell of the moisturizer I bought is just WAY too overpowering, it actually made me nauseous! :nono: Plus it's so oil-based that even though it has water and doesn't feel oily at first, it does leave a greasy residue on my hair. I would buy the other moisturizer but I'm not reading too many great reviews on that one either so I'm reluctant...
 
I'm really trying not to use heat this year so I've just washed and condish and I'm sitting under my bonnet dryer on the lowest setting. I roller set my hair after watching a ton of YT vids so hopefully I can get it stretched enough to be re-braided then I'm back in wigs. If I get good results with this then this will be my only source of heat for the year. I want healthy log hair and I've already noticed my hair thickening so now on to the length
 
I am in love with my wash day routine :heart3: I cleansed with Creme of Nature Argan Oil Sulfate-Free Moisture & Shine shampoo...this stuff is the BOMB at detangling and leaving my hair super-soft! Currently deep conditioning with my favorite DC of all time: Silk Elements Mega Silk Moisture Treatment. All of these great products are making me so happy! I just hate that I DCed on freshly washed hair and didn't dry it before applying the product. I squeezed out the excess water beforehand but there's still water dripped down my neck *sigh*
 
I basically need to do everything I did to and for my hair as I did six years ago....



That was a lot. I got half of it together...now for the rest

My nape area matted up badly like a synthetic weave after 3 consecutive days of weight training. I will never again wear my pony tail hanging down on my neck like that while sweating. :( Now for another freaking cowash for some TLC.
 
I did henna overnight last night using the lush bar. The rinse out was hell but the results were amazing . My hair was so easy to roller set tonight .

Had a terrible nightmare today! In the dream I had dyed my hair what I thought was supposed to be jet black but when I stepped out of the shower my hair was BLOND! :blush::blush: i don't know what that dream is supposed to mean. I guess i won't be dying my hair for awhile :look:
 
TeasedBlackPearlz/TiarraMonet must've lost her mind! She doesn't even have a license! :blush: :thud:
