My mommy favorites – Pocket Malden Filofax in grey

March 8, 2014 No Comments

I purchased this Filofax a few months ago. I’ve been lusting over a Malden since I started my obsession with Filofax. But being on a tight budget, I couldn’t justify the expense. It’s always: house, kids, bills first (as it should be). So I waited. I knew a great sale would come along at the […]

I pre-pooed at home. She didn’t mind at all. I was happy about that. I know I can always do that. She shampooed with a Nioxin shampoo (I forget which one – I’ll look it up). Then she put a reconstructor and let it sit in my hair no plastic cap, no heat. Rinse that […]

Relaxed Hair journey post – To texlax or not to texlax… (August 26, 2009)

March 8, 2014 No Comments

I decided to give up on texlaxing. I’m sorry guys… I really thought it would be something good for my hair, but after a few months, I am noting more bad (breakage at the hairline, permanent frizz at the roots, tangles starting at 3-4 weeks post) than good (thicker hair, stronger hair, loose curls at […]

Relaxed Hair journey post – 1st roller set on my own (August 7, 2009)

March 8, 2014 No Comments

I finally tried rollersetting last night after my cowash/protein treatment. It is an art to be mastered. I believe that I can achieve great skills after a few practice runs. I didn’t get all the rollers tight enough and that is a key principle of this method. At least, the rollers stayed on my head. […]
