I am seeing my hair grow, but very slowly. This week I notice breakage when my hair is wet. This happens when I am applying products to my hair like today, I did a honey prepoo and I lost strands. After that, I shampoo and did a light protein and again breakage while applying my […]
I’m still a newbie, but I started running out of the products I bought when I first started last April. So I bought new ones and I have to admit that I am somewhat of a product junkie.When I started my journey I bought Herbal Essence Hello Hydration for my cowashes, prepoos and regular conditionning, […]
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. […]
It has indeed been a wonderful journey. I have been looking back at everything, my regimen, my growth/progress, my products, my hairstyles… everything. So far, I am happy, things are going good. My hair isn’t growing super fast, but it’s growing. My biggest breakthrough was learning to minimize breakage. I am not losing as much […]
I relaxed, or should I say, I texlaxed. It was late when I finished so I did just a little blog about it. Here are my impressions of my third relaxer since the start of my journey.At the beginning of my journey, I had decided to texlaxe instead of relaxing bone straight because I thought […]
Yes, I did it… I was supposed to wait 9 weeks, but I cracked because I have a wedding on Saturday and I didn’t like my hair all week last week, so I said what the hay! I did it. I tried to correct my last relaxer so this one was hard. I prepared my […]
What a journey!!! Waiting for length can be really hard some days but hair grows really slowly and don’t we all know it. Day by day, I try not to focus on length. I try to focus on care. I take care of my hair every day (moisturizing, sealing, washing, conditioning, treating, etc). I only […]
Why couldn’t I have found Hairlista (Hairlicious) and the other forums when I was natural??? I would not have relaxed my texturized hair… I now have almost 100% straight but thin hair and now realizing that my hair should be texlaxed (75%) not relaxed. I have to “start over” again… I will not do the […]
I am 6 weeks post and trying to stretch 9 weeks this time. My big problem is that my last relaxer did not take and now the NG (new growth) is unbelievable. I was going to cave in. I prepared my stuff; combs, clips, relaxer kit, oils, shampoos, conditioner, etc. I was getting ready to put my […]
158.1 lbs and flabby… I’ve lost all the baby weight and now the real challenge starts. I’m at my pre-baby weight minus the flabby stomach. Who knew that would make such a difference. So, I realize that exercising is mandatory for me. Unless I’m willing to live with the flab. I’m not super into my […]
