Twist Out

Posted by: blackform on: August 2, 2009

So I rocked my first twist out today, or rather yesterday. It was very well recieved, mind you thats not why I did it. I did  it because I was gonna wash my hair after and I always miss a few twists if i try and pull it out at the time im going to wash.

Am I going to rock twists outs alot, no. I dont think so i felt that it was very drying on my hair and my ends got crusty so the only time I think i would do it is when its wash day.

Quick word

So I am officially apart of the hand in head syndrome group. I twisted my hair in two strand twists, and they just feel so nice, i catch myself all the time playing and twirling strands, I also realize that i need to cut not trim my ends and badly ( i know i keep repeating this) but i need a pair of scissors for trimming only.

Almost done

As I said in the last post, I took out my “hair”, then I washed it, real quick, then I deep conditioned. I know you should deep condition on dry hair but seriously, my hair was smelling way funky, I had to wash it, i couldnt not.

So I deep conditioned over night, then this moring at about 10:30 I washed it out, after I conditioned and detangled in sections. ( I love doing this, it was so easy to plait up my hair after)

So my hair is just in plaits now, but Im going to style it later, when its almost competely dry.

 

P.s. My sister deleted the MJ pics, so I have to see if she has them saved somewhere else.

At last………..

My love as come along.Sry. I had to :) .
So what I mean is at last I took out my hair, Im happy about it for two reasons. One i get to see, touch and play in my own hair and not have to worry about the wind and second, Im really pleased with the growth I have, mind you I have to take off at least an inch because of my ends but hey its the price you pay for healthy hair.
I just hope that I can retain my length, as I have said before its not the growth thats my problem its keeping what ive grown.
Oh and my creme of nature goods have officially been shipped out to me. yeah!!! :)

Creme of Nature

Posted by: blackform on: July 5, 2009

Good news! I won Quel from homegirl.typepad.com Creme of Nature Giveaway. She had held a hairtreatment tips contest and I won, Woot. Its the first time I have ever won something in a contest (yes i know its sad, but its true) so I am very excited. I won a full size bottle of Creme of  Red Clover & Aloe shampoo for dry hair and scalp and a full size tube of Jojoba & Olive Oil Moisture-Active Deep Conditioning Treatment for Dehydrated Hair.

This was the tip that I gave:

“One deep condition that I like to do is a oil treatment, but I do it over night. It leaves my hair and scalp feeling nice. The last time I did it I used my version of Mo’s grow oil, it left my hair feeling so soft. I kept feeling it and wandering how come after a week or two my hair still felt nice and wasn’t dry.”

 

Thanks Quel mucho gracias! 

She is currently running another contest so check it out.

MJ Tribute

Posted by: blackform on: July 2, 2009

So I went to a Michael Jackson tribute concert/party last night. It was pretty big it was downtown. My younger sister was so into it, and my little brother was just lost,he couldnt see the stage and he didnt know any of the songs, poor kid :)

While i was there i noticed sooooo many people with natural hair,  i mean twist outs and curly fros, plain ol’ afros, dreds, twists it was a mecca of natural hair. I took a pic or two but I didn’t want to alarm people so I didn’t take too many.

All in all it was a good night, except for the weed and the rude, igonorant people who thought it was okay to push your way infront of somebody when theres no space. SMH.

I post some pics later after i get them off my camera

Sad News………..

Posted by: blackform on: June 26, 2009

So Im taking a detour today. As many of you have already heard Michael Jackson passed away yesterday. Now I don’t know about most of you but I love me some Michael, so today this post is dedicated in memory to the late and the great Michael Jackson.

 

 

Scream. I heart this song. Its sooo good.

The lean is the baddest. What!

This song is epic, its like 30 minutes long. Jamonit.

Ahh Michael rest in peace.

Lazy hair day

DCT

Posted by: blackform on: June 4, 2009

So I washed out my conditoner this morning, i had it for abou 12 hours. Ummm im not too impressed, i think my weave got better results than my hair and I wasn’t even focusing on it.

So I think in future I’ll do a olive oil with aloe dct with maybe a bit of conditioner. One thing I didn’t like was that even after standing under the shower for like 10 minutes, it didn’t wash away completely it feels like theres still build up and if i run my finger (aka scratch my scalp) Im left with stuff underneath my nails. When I do the oil treatment, my scalp is clear of all that stuff.

Deep conditioning treatment

Posted by: blackform on: June 3, 2009

As I write this post Im deep conditioning, unfortunately I don’t have a soft bonnet, or else I would be done already :) So I am going to do it overnight. I started the process late in the evening (cough…8′clock…cough) I don’t want to go to bed with wet hair, and risk the chance of mold or anything else that’s gross, Im going to leave it till tomorrow. If I have to go outside I’ll wrap my head in a scarf and call it a day. :)

For my deep conditioner I used,treseme remoisture conditioner, Avon african shea butter restorative hair mask, Avon mediterrean oilve oil conditoning hair mask and the Avon palm desert rose oil hair elixir. I have high hopes for this combo, the only thing im worried about is that it will be so good and I wont be able to recreate it, as Avon discontiuned the shea butter conditioner right after I ordered it.(Booooo)

well, good night
