SO So FUNNY!!

I think it is so funny how just last month I was thinking how just bite me in the butt cannot stand protective styling and there is no way that I can hide my hair to get to waist length by a year or two years time. I love my curls too much for all that hiding. HAHA. I have been in so much pain and been laying around in the bed all of December that it has become very easy to protective style my hair. Ponytails and oils have been my best friend and only style for this month and at this rate I don't see me moving from this depression anytime soon. I wonder what my fate for next month will be and I would love to see how much retention my hair ends up with by the time the winter is over since they tell me this is gold. "I'm so excited!!! and I just can't hide it, I'ma bout to lose control and I think I like it." LOL

Yeah, so this one right here is new to my collections of hair oils. I used to use this oil years and I mean years ago for a lot of years but it was the one with mineral oil added to it. It still has that very same loud smell I remember and I think it will work just as fine as always. I may not be able to use it as much because it would make my hair get too straight and it is one of those oils that will clog my pores much faster than say castor oil or coconut oil which is why I have been able to use them with my curly styles with no problems. But during my down time I will try using this Amla oil again just while I am wearing the ponytail and sleeping cap most of the time. 

Nupur came in the mail and of course I could not wait to do the treatment on my hair. Drum roll PLEASE!!! I love it, I love it, I love it... It was like the greatest thing. I know I have to wait some time to see how my hair reacts to the herbs but so far so good. It also gave me a orangesh red color but I am ok with that. Really I thought it was going to be darker like brown because of everything that was mixed in there with the henna, so it was a good surprise.

So yeah, even though my curls are taken a break right now it still is not getting us down. So hold your hair up head, they have not beat us yet. We will take the pain blues, winter blues in stride. 

You know my saying!!!  Love your hair and it will love you back ladies!!

My Hair Has The Winter BLUES!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, I am just getting home from the hospital where I had a 4 day stay. Just like in September I had some numbness in my mouth and also this time my throat felt like it was closing up on me. Well I am home now and they are looking into what they think is going on but during my stay my hair oh my hair, it was missing it's products. I didn't bring anything with me because I thought I would be going home the next day. The only thing I could do was take my wet hands to run it through my hair and detangle with my fingers. I would try to do that every day so that it would stay moist. I could not wait to get back home so that I could co wash my hair and do my wash n go. I oiled my hair with vatika and did my scalp with jamican black castor oil. now all this week I have not been doing anything but sleeping most of the week now my hair is in a bun. I can tell you this when I wash my hair I feel my hair down my back again in the shower. It must mean that my hair is growing back since I had to do such a big trim the beginning of November. It felt so short after that and I thought it would take so long to get it back but what a difference a month and a half makes.

Ok moving on, we are now in the dead of the winter and when I thought there would be nothing that could take me away from my old favorite wash n go how about the lazy dayz have kicked in and the only thing I want to do is hang around in the bed and sleep on and off and I sure am  not doing that with my hair out. So in the sleeping cap it goes and it stays. Like I said I make sure that I detangle with my hands and moisturize it every night and even tonight I put shea butter on the ends.

On to something new, next henna day I will be trying this new mixture well maybe not new to all but new to me. Here are the ingredients:

Never knew it was already done for me and that my fellow hair forum ladies have been using it all this time. They all love it so I thought what the heck I need to give this a try. The only thing is I don't know what it will be like as far as color is concerned. So I will have something to tell you about in about a week or so, can't wait to tell!!! ha ha

Do remember ladies to love your hair and it will love you back.

LAZY LAZY LAZY DAYZ

Well this past week I was not feeling good so my hair was just in a wet bun everyday. OMG!!! when I had a terrible migraine about a week ago, it still didn't stop me from doing my wash n go's. It is so funny that now when I am like this close to my worst pain ever in my back the wash n gos's didn't go they went..... With the migraine I held my head up with my hands to make sure I did not crush my curls until it was dry. LOL... 

Hey!!! Do you think when I finally look up from my total rest my hair will be to my waist? LOL!!!! Just a thought... 

 My trustie tools are Dabur Vatika Oil, I use from the roots to the ends and 

The Jamaican Black Castor Oil  to massage on my scalp but you can also use it for sealing your ends with, it certainly is thick enough for that job so lets not forget about  

 Shea Butter which will do trick also. Throwing a little Argan oil in the mix on the length of the hair and as a massage oil.

This down time is allowing me to baby, baby my ends. My pain is so bad right now, I really do not care that I am wearing a bun every single day which you know I cannot stand. All I do is just rinse my hair with water in the shower and oil it again then put the bun right back in. I also love my new sleeping cap and it is working so well in place of what I was using before which I wore the heck out of. So once the bun is tied up and under I just put the sleeping cap on and don't have to worry about how my hair is being snatched or not snatched off my head from the friction of the cotton fabric on the pillow but can worry more on getting comfortable in the bed.

I am a true believer that you have to protect your hair especially when you have those down out lazy dayz, can't get out the bed dayz. Silk or satin will do the job just fine especially before that day comes you are unable to move and really your hair is the last thing on your mind. But because the night before you made sure you tied your hair up correctly with the correct fabric no worries. If you get in the habit of taking care and hiding your hair at night it could be a good habit that save's you from losing your hair at night. Of course after doing this for dayz in a row my hair will become straight which I don't care about but I will still co wash some of those dayz I'm being lazy only because I will end up with too much build up on my scalp. My scalp is sensitive to oil or grease and always had to wash 2 or 3 times a week for fresh fly hair.

Remember ladies Love your hair and it will love you back.
