My hair, currently

I realized, while grazing over the types of posts I create, that I don't speak on my hair too much. Not that anything extremely exciting is going on with it right now, but when your on a hair journey you never pass up an opportunity to talk HAIR!

How many weeks post: 5 whole weeks..... My stretch seems to be crawling right now.

Last wash: Last week by myself. Wanted to go to the salon, but at the last minute decided not to.

Deep conditioned with: Lekair cholesterol plus conditioning creme and Aphogee 2 minute keratin re-constructor (my protein DC) and sprayed some Aphogee green tea re-constructor on as well. DC 15 min w/heat

Moisturized: Herbal Essence Long term relationship leave-in, Castor/Peppermint oil mix, Elasta QP mango butter [ LOC method]

Air dry/blow dry/hooded dryer: Blow dried on low warm setting

My hair feels: Kind of dry. With the weather being all over the place lately (cold AMs with warm days and cold nights or vice versa) my hair is a bit confused, I want to pull out my s-curl but I can't be too sure if it's safe to use all the time.

What I'm loving about my hair right now: How full and thick it feels and looks. I hadn't seen my hair look like this in about a year.

What I'm having a problem with: Theses blasted ends. It's all old under-processed hair, so without heat it's a frizzy mess! Also, my hair is too short to put in a bun so I'm not able to properly protect my ends...It's a bit frustrating.

Any reason to do a style: Had a job fair to attend, so I pulled out the hot rollers I got for Christmas.

Current style: Mid-point ponytail..... #blah

What can be done differently next wash: I need to find a store that sells coconut oil; I want to use it as a pre-shampoo.

That's the 411 on my hair right now..... How is your hair journey going? Since it's cooler out, what types of steps are you taking to protect your hair?

Wash day: The struggle

Oh straight hair, how I will miss thee...... Does anyone else feel sad whenever they do the first wash after the relaxer? Or is that just me? Rollersets, airdrying and clipped up hair are the only spice in my future. I feel kinda down because I know once the water hits it, it won't be straight like that for weeks.... maybe even longer.  And even then my hair will not get THAT straight again until I get another relaxer! Lewis gets a little frustrated too, he decided to tell me the day I got it done "Please let me just enjoy seeing you with your hair down for a few days before you put it away for the next 3 months!" That made me feel bad :/

Refraining from heat is for the health of my hair though so I should really be like "no pain, no gain"...... Right?

The struggle is real!!

My hair, currently.

This hair is at 5 wks post in these pics. I shampooed and DC'd for about 25 minutes (heat added) and then decided to use a rinse out conditioner because my hair didn't feel right after the DC I should probably throw that stuff away. For the roller set I just used some leave-in conditioner spray and lottabody setting lotion(blue liquid). Took me a little bit over an hr to roll and and little bit over an hr to dry (I hate sitting under the dryer!!) 

I was not aware that yesterday the humidity outside was around oh 90! So as soon as I stepped outside my hair began to fall..... and of course it does not look like this now because the mixture of the humidity and a little thing called sleep Lol but most of my curls still have their form so I can probably make this style stretch for another day or so.

What does your hair look like currently?

Quick updates

Hey guys! Sorry I didn't get around to posting a  Mind Right Monday yesterday, I worked all day Sunday and yesterday and was too lazy/tired to turn my computer on at all once I made it home. 
I am going to prolly keep this post short and sweet since I'm in the process of doing 8 different things at once..... Here goes:

I'm coming to you right now from under my hair dryer- deep conditioning with Neutragena triple moisture- getting ready for our trip back to East TX for the holiday! I'm not too excited about being there for a whole 5 days, (where we will more than likely sleep on somebody's floor every night)  but we have a number of things to do while we are in town so I guess I have to make the most of the situation. We are set to leave early in the a.m so all day I have been trying to get packed up and situated. It's been kind of hard for me cause I think I got a little food poisoning last night from the Sonic we went to. I was fine when we went to sleep but around 4-ish this morning I woke up to a crazy pain in my stomach. At first I thought "Oh I just really got to go to the bathroom" but even after I did, my stomach was highly irritated. I felt miserable until about 6:30 when it my stomach decided it was time to get rid of that sh*t. I barely made into the bathroom before I was throwing up everywhere..... there goes my 6 yr vomit-free record. I felt no relief afterwards.... and then my tummy wanted to try again about an hr later. I've been very queasy every since..... I hate regurgitating.


This spur of the moment illness threw off alot the things I wanted to get done today. I wanted to rollerset my hair for the trip but I don't have the energy to deal with the rollers and I really don't trust my stomach today.... so after I rinse I'll prolly be a bad girl by blow drying my hair and more than likely flat ironing just to get the straight look. I realized that I may need a corrective relaxer cause I have under processed my hair these last two relaxers and I am not happy with it at all.

I won't be near a computer long enough to post like I want to, I will try and post some stuff while we are out of town..... Welp, guess I'll finish up my hair and crawl in bed. My tummy is starting to hurt again :/
