Product Haul

2009-03-10T17:02:00.000-07:00

I went to the beauty supply store after work today to purchase some of the essential products that I've been advised needed when you are attempting to style your own hair. I said to myself that I would go to see my stylist for awhile before styling my own hair, but honestly with watching all the wonderfully educational videos on youtube.com which demonstrates healthy hair care, I think I could do it myself this weekend ( cross your fingers)!!!! LOL I've honestly done very extensive research and I'm proceeding with extreme caution.
So, the fabulous products that I brought are:

Nexus VitaTress conditioning volumizer (leave-in)

Designer Touch wrap -n- style lotion

New Era instant hair repair (preventative tactic)

Motions protein reconstuctor (monthly)

Motions conditioning syling lotion (alcohol free!!!)

Lastly I got a extra wide tooth comb, a new wrap brush and an extra small barrel brush to blow out my roots after a roller set! Whew! I want to treat myself to a Mason Pearson comb and brush set but I'll buy it as a reward once my hair grows one full inch weave-free!!!
I intend on washing my hair on Friday night after a long work out, which is extremely over due! I'll make sure to post pictures to view the results. NB xox

Her hair is sooo healthy and pretty!!!!! Pay close attention to the end result, that long cascading hair...uh huh that's all me in a minute!!! I could watch this over and over ( in fact I have ) LOL NB xox

ReeeeeWind!

2009-03-09T17:41:00.000-07:00

So before I forget, I really wanted to tell you all about the drama I put my self through at the hair salon. So I had already felt that I wanted to take out my weave last month. When I went to see my stylist she insisted to keep it for another month because it was still pretty tight thus taking it out I would have essentially been wasting money. It's pretty expensive to put it in so you wanna get the most out of your weave. I was a little disappointed but then I realized that I can do more intense of a workout and swim without worrying about damaging my real hair or restyling it. So, fast forward to the big day. I had worked out the weekend before and had been really scratching as your growing hair under your weave REALLY itches. I thought that my scalp had settled by now...WRONG!!! When it came time to get my relaxer in my scalp was SOOOO sensitive and it kinda burned. Then when it was time to put in my color rinse WWWHHHOOAAA HOTTT! I was doing the shottybounce in the shampoo chair! LOL Not fun. Was it worth it? Well, yes because with going all natural for a year, I definitely needed a relaxer beacuse of the styles I knew I wanted to where and the color I got came out really pretty. I had it flat ironed straight, it looked soo amazing. It blowed in the wind as I walked to my car... it felt great! Going forward I'm gonna blog about the new products that I'm using and how they're working for my hair. I also hope to post lots of pictures and watch what being knowledgeable on hair health can do for me! Until next time... NB xox

Post Weave!

2009-03-09T17:13:00.000-07:00

I've been wearing a weave for the last year and three months. On March 5, 2009... I had it taken out!!! WOW! What a difference, I hardly recognized myself! I love it! Before my first weave, I had already been through constantly over processing my hair. I thought I knew everything about styling which I didn't, but what I knew even less about was how to really take care of my hair. For instance, I thought that flat ironing daily was ok as long as my hair look fresh and coiffed. WRONG!!! BIG NO NO!!! Even when my stylist told me I needed to get my hair cut very short to get it healthy, I still hadn't learned. I went though several years of not listening, I just didn't get it. Fortunately, after awhile I started taking better care of my hair so it was actually in pretty good condition when my first weave was put in (12/23/2007). It was probably around a good 6 to 7 inches overall. Now it has grown to be roughly about 12 to 13 inches long!!!!!! I'm so proud of it and myself! YAY me! I've really invested and practiced discipline. I plan to continue to do so!!! I was thinking of getting to know my real hair again for for a couple months. Just like with skin care and make up, you have to observe your personal situation and then practice with products and different techniques in moderation. It takes applying a lot of common sense and YOU WILL see a difference as you gain more experience and grow more comfortable. Till next time NB xox

Update/Upgrade

2008-11-18T06:43:00.000-08:00

Hey Ladies! What's good? As for me, I've been chilling and pampering myself in every way imaginable. I've been relaxing ( when I'm not working ) and living life, which is my ultimate goal in life. Anywayz as far as hair goes, it's time to do a re up on my hair. Yes, unfortunately it's that dreadful but absolutely necessary time when I have to get my hair taken out washed re-braided ( ouch) and re-sown in all in the name of beauty and divalishousness. I don't think I told what a nightmare it was that last time I left my weave in too long. Whoooo Child. Let's just say it was traumatizing. So now I don't play that crap... evry 2-3 month I gots to get it redone or take it out all together. Yesterday I gave myself a edge up (light relaxer) and a dark brown rinse. I feel asleep with wet hair, which you should try to never do. You could risk your hair getting matted as it drys. Thank you Lord that it didn't do that but it has before so take from me... (back to the story) I never styled it so in the morning of course I didn't wake up early enough to devote 1 or 2 hours on styling my hair. I just flat ironed the top portion of my hair while leaving my weaved hair naturally curly. I like it. I haven't had any heat it my hair in about 2-3 weeks. Hopefully it's alot healthier and my stylist will notice and have nothing but have high praises for me next week...Until then...Stay Fab * Pics to come *

Hey FGezzys! LOL! It's so important to document the things that are done to our hair. Well, at least it is to me,I have to be sure that I will never overprocess my hair! I've been there done that, never doing it again! So this month this is what I've done so far: On 10/21 I had a light edge up used on my natural hair with Designer's Touch no-lye regular relaxer. I also put in Soft&Beautiful's darkest brown colored rinse. On 10/22 I went to see my stylist Rachel, owner of Salon Rache' to have my weave cut in cute and modern layers. We also used the new product I brought which were FHI's Hot Sauce heat protectant and Paul Mitchell's Super Skinny Straighting Balm. I should have taken a pic when I first got it done for you all...it was so fresh and fly. Don't be mad at me ... I'm going back next month and yall know I got you. In the mean time, let me see what I got for yall :) But yeah that all I've done so far and what ever else I do myself before I go to the salon you all will be the first to know! Love Ya xoxo NB

Old Habits Die Hard

2008-10-27T09:13:00.000-07:00

So girls, I have some bad news. I haven't been so fly in terms of how I've been treating my natural hair. I tried to moniter the overall progress of the lengthof my hair but in the process did some serious damage. So, I had to cut my hair in a itty bitty chitty bang before I got a new weave. Girls this time I got a 20' light brown weave ( that I alway rinse to dark brown) . OMG what a process! I had to take out my old weave, detangle my three month old cornrows get my hair washed rebraided and resown with the new hair. Wheeeew!! It was a lot but well worth it! I have been researching what experts say in regards to presearving the quality of ones hair while still getting that heated bone straight style we all crave. They say you must always use a sunscreen for your hair, use a hair mask or protein treatment weekly. When using heated tools opt for those that have a ionic heating method and authentic ceramic plates. and use a heat protectant. Also they said to deep condition bi-weekly while being sure that your selected conditoner has either creatine or keratine as the active ingrediant to avoid dryness and promote strength as well as softness.

Frustrations

2008-07-03T12:04:00.000-07:00

Hey Ladies, I'm writing today to pour out my frustrations to you about my hair. I'm still in love with my weave and that's what makes it even more frustrating. I want to be in love with my real hair, just as much if not more and I hate it!! (This week any way) It really varies in performance and length from week to week. This week, however I feel like it's lacking in all areas. I just brought some new products from the Alterna repair line in hopes for some sort of restoration. I have fryed mt hair in attempt to match the texture of the Indonesian hair when I wear it straight. I always wear my real hair behind my ears , and it's becoming so annoying!!! So now I must practice using my flat iron in slow moderation to achieve some length before it's all said and done. Until next NB xoxo..... Oh yeah I recorded a video but I'm having technical difficulties posting it but I will have it for y'all soon enough

Alterna Products

2008-06-26T12:25:00.000-07:00

Hey Bunnies, I'm writing to you all today do discuss the products that I use. The shampoo I'm using is from the Alterma Life Solutions line. It's great and i like it because I have dandruff from time to time and this product really helps to treat your scalpt. The conditioner that I use is from the Alterna enzymetherapy White Truffle Luxury some the active ingredients are European White Truffle Oil, Champagne Grape seed Oil, Caspian Caviar Extract and Mediterranean Arnica Flower for ultra conditioning. Last but not least Alterna Caviar Anti-Aging Rapid Repair Spray is for immediate vitality & shine. So these are the products that I use and they work for me... But as the hair experts say sometimes you should switch up product lines because the hair will build tolerance. Well let me know what product you use. NB xoxo

Me?

2008-06-25T09:37:00.001-07:00

Let's go over my hair. I have medium course textured hair. The color naturally is maybe a number 4 brown and I currently have a weave sown in for the sole purpose of effortless style 24/7. My natural hair is braided and protected under a net in which human hair extentions are sown. This is my very first weave and I'm head over heals in love!!! It's the best. I treated myself on my 23rd birthday. I just told my stylist that I wanted something extra for my birthday, you know some va-va-voom and she made the suggestion. Every since then, I have just been in love. So the hair I have sown in is Indonesian/Remy and it's not to long maybe 14' inches, it's naturally wavy/curly but also can be straightend. The hair last up to 1yr. but my braids underneath are redone every 2-3 months. I've been living a new dream life with this hair but it's still like a starter weave being as though it's not that long. My inner diva is telling me to upgrade, you know for the summer with a longer length... Well we'll see. Yall let me know what you think!!! Love, NB xoxo
