Hair Journal\Schedule

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

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.
