Oh tonight was a night of experiments!! After being so dissatisfied with the results of my last wash,  I figured I needed to step up my game and become more consistent with my mid-week washes.  So even thought I didn’t feel like going through the whole mid-week-wash-routine I did it anyways and I’m glad I did. Today was all about pampering and getting my hair back on track so I decided to do a pre-poo with a homemade concoction.  I measured out in a bowl: 2 tbsp vegetable glycerin 2 tbsp avocado oil 1 tbsp coconut oil ½ tsp vitamin E 2 heaping tbsp shea butter Whipped those together...

…make sure that you do your research!!  I’m sure alot of us have heard about the Brazilian Keratin Straightening Treatments and the success alot of curly-hair ladies have had with them.   They seem to be the rave nowadays. Well I was never particularly interested because of the amount of heat involved. Heck,  I have enough challenges maintaining length without adding that degree of heat into the mix. Anyway I was just browsing Dr. Ali Syed’s blog and came across one of his post about said Keratin Treatments.  If you don’t know Dr. Syed he’s the Prez & Master...

Let me explain.  Saturday we had a party to go to…seems like everybody’s hitting the big 3-0 of recent.  But anyways I wanted to step out with some especially cute hair since I’m still recovering from this cold bug and I haven’t been looking my best recently.  So I decided I was going to do an updo (for whatever reason I think I look best with upswept hair).  So I pulled out my new slide-in clips and proceeded to rollerset my hair with some Infusium 23 leave-in.  I dried on low with my soft bonnet and when I was ready I undid the rollers. The curls were soo cute, with so...

Holy!  My wash day was loonnnggg overdue.  I hadn’t washed since the Thursday before the wedding -that was Sept 10th!!  The weekend after the wedding I was so busy I just thought to myself that I’d wash it the following week – the 21st.  Well guess what?  On the 21st I woke up with a horrible cold bug.  Arrrghhh!!!  I knew I should have persevered and washed it over the weekend.  Dammit! So there I was sick, miserable, hacking out a lung but in the back of my mind all I could think of was my nasty hair lol.  Shouldn’t  I be concentrating on getting better?? ...
