Fantasia IC Heat Protectant Review

Hey there guys! I have a quick post for you all. This will be the last of 2011! I am sooo excited for this new year, I graduate in May!

Back to the matter at hand, I wanted to share with you all the heat protectant I use when I appply direct heat to my naturally curly tresses. I use Fantasia IC on clean hair, NO leave in whatsoever, and blowdry my hair using a comb attachment.

Detangled hair of course, applying to my ends first. After my hair is dry, I apply more before using my flat iron. Ceramic tourmaline. I apply more, making sure I coat my ends generously. I go over once to straighten, and again to add curl to the ends and then I pin curl. I usually leave them in until the next day and have bouncy curly hair! If I do any touchups, I use this first. And the best part of it all; I have NO heat damage.

I have done this twice to all of my hair. I first purchased this from a Kroger supermarket for about $7 or so in October of this year. I used this on my exposed hair from a sew-in I had during homecoming. No heat damage then either!

I hope you all have found this helpful! Have a safe and Happy New Year's Eve!

So today is a FROHAWK kind of day!

Heading out for pedi's with my mom and sister. Gotta take care of those lower digits regardless of the season! Rough feet are for men and even then, blegh lol

Shampoo'd and Conditioned earlier with Pantene for Curly Hair. Gotta get some of my own cuz mommy isn't having that kidnap business with this stuff. I do NOT blame her either. I LOVE it! Both even comes with a pump. About $5 each and she got them from Wally World! Gotta love that place huh?

After rinsing I applied KCKT, loooove that stuff btw -best investment in a hair product hands down, and rubbed coconut oil on my scalp and in my hair after pinappling for a few hours to stretch my hair some as the perimeter dried.

Going to hit some after Christmas sales too. Hope Old Navy has beaucoup designs of jeans available cuz I'm about to go HAM! $15 ea for adult sizes and ten for kids. Hope you aren't seeing this post too late. Also wanna rack up on leggings at F21.

Later LoveBugs!

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
