11 Months of Growth

Just got done cowashing (Tresemme anti breakage) and protein treating (aPHogee 2 minute keratin re-constructor).In a ponytail---can yall see I'm getting hangtime now? owww lol
Also, getting a sew-in as a protective style next week. My 1yr post BC mark isn't until the end of October. Although I'm not a fan of length checking, I'll be doing one to show you guys my progress before I "track it up" as I say.

The Wonderful World of Castor Oil

Castor Oil. Many naturals rave about its benefits. But exactly how can I find the best use of it for my hair? I've purchased Castor Oil in the beginning of August (The same pictured to the left; 16oz from VitaminShoppe for $7.99 ---see this post). I've used it a few times, but wanting this blog to be interactive, I'd like to know how YOU all use it! =} I've been using it to seal my ends lately a la tips from BGLH and CurlyNikki, and I put some on my fingers when doing a takedown and it helps keep frizz to a minimun. I would like to learn different ways to use Castor Oil on my Natural Hair. Please leave your ways of using Castor Oil, the type you use, and opinions of .uses I can try. Xoxo, Dej

Hair of the Day 9/15/11

This is the updo I attempted to recreate this morning after checking BGLH for updos. At my University Chapel Service this morning I read the Chapel Invocation. The Royal Court of Virginia Union University hosted chapel this morning and I serve as Miss Senior 2011-2012. S/o to everyone that served/is serving on Royal Court at their HBCU =] I couldn't quite get it to stay and on a time crunch, I simply added an elastic hair band and pulled it into a low puff.

Product Haul & Update.

So I've picked up some things I've been wanting for a while now. I've picked up some Shea Butter (from a local African Shop), KinkyCurly Knot Today, Jojoba Oil, Aloe Vera Juice, and two small containers to put my GrapeSeed oil in (Clear) and Castor Oil (Green). I also got a mini pill container so I can remember to take my vitamins when on the go! I have a very busy schedule this semester, so I will blog as often as possible to keep you guys up with me and my hair =] . I just got my laptop back from being repaired as well, so I will be updating soon. If you can't tell from some of my new products, I will be attempting to make KimmayTube's Leave-in Conditioner. Expect a review. I will also be trying a Clay Treatment on my hair. I will do a full product review for that product. I've used it as a facial and LOVE IT! Later everyone. Gotta finish this assignment for class! Be blessed. Xoxo, Dej
