Little update

I hope you all are having a very splendid Sunday!!! It's finals time for me so if you were wondering why I hadn't really posted, my final material has been in my hand, on my mind and in my face lately. I actually take my final tomorrow afternoon so once it's over it should be back to your regularly scheduled program lol......

It's been a little over 30 days since I started taking Mineral rich energy drink. *If you don't know what I'm talking about, here's the POST* At first I couldn't really tell if I had gotten any significant growth cause ::as if I can say it enough lol:: my hair is still currently under processed so I can't just LOOK at my hair and see a difference..... but I did notice that it is has gotten very thick; to me that equates potential length. YAY! Here's a little length comparison:

See a difference? I will do a 60 day review next month when I get my relaxer!! I re-ordered the drink on Wednesday cause I was running really low and I finally ran out completely Saturday. My new bottle comes in sometime next week and I can't wait! Have a good day :)

Hair news: Relaxer update

This post is about a week overdue cause I actually relaxed my hair last week, but I wanted to get this up and tell you guys all about my plan......


I relaxed my hair at 12 wks post and I had never been so happy to see my hair straight (or straighter, I should say). I decided to give self relaxing another go (with NO help from Lewis this time lol) and do someones half and half method I saw on youtube.... IMO it worked but it didn't work, catch my drift? Lol Basically the half and half method was almost what I need to do to self relax, I just need to tweak it to my own liking. For instance I did it where you part ear to ear and relax the top or back first and then do the opposite. Well I don't own a shower hose to wash my hair, I just use the faucet in the tub so trying to figure out which end to do first was a challenge! Then after I decided on the back, the only way I could do it without getting the front of my head wet was to turn on the shower and do it that way...... so by the end of the morning I had basically taken 3 showers relaxing my hair smh. Next time I think I'll part my hair straight down the middle and attempt it that way, seems more faucet friendly.

The only other problem I ran into with my hair, and this one is the most frustrating at the moment, is that my new growth is seeming very resistant to the relaxer! I was not able (once again)  to get my hair to straighten out-really at all. I mean it stretched out, but that's about it. Literally none of my new growth got straight, not even my edges! So I am again left with texlaxed hair   severely underproccessed hair. It would be all good if that's what I was aiming for, but it isn't. I don't know what to do at the moment..... maybe I should stop trying to do my own hair...... or maybe I'm not working it through enough? Idk.

Although I had my issues with the relaxing process, my hair turned out pretty good!

I do have a thin spot in the middle back (if you can't tell I just pointed it out for ya) that I will address in separate post..... Check my length out though! Excited. I think I could use a little dusting.... but I'll wait until I research the self trim some more.

Welp, thanks for reading and checking my pics out..... if you have ANY tips on self relaxing, self trimming/dusting or anything else please share with me! I refuse to go back to a stylist if I don't have to!

Hair: Personal protective style challenge

After getting a hair cut with this last relaxer [it put me at SL] I still have high hopes for getting to APL in the summertime, maybe around July? I know in order to get there or even be close I have to retain all the length that I gain from here until then! I am planning to start a personal protective style challenge when school start back from spring break. Since my classes are only 8wks at a time it's a more uniformed tracking period for me and it will keep me motivated cause I'll constantly be out in public.....  but I have a problem: What styles can I use? For some strange reason I have been having a hard time coming up with protective styles.... weird huh? I guess I need to scour the internet and youtube for some inspiration cause right now the best I got is a bun. Lol.

This is all I'll talk about for now on it.... more when I start it up after spring break!
