Just Another Updizate :-P

August to September is before I started the CO Challenge...September to October is 1 month in :-)) To me it seems as if I have experience more growth in Sept-Oct!! But I could be psyching myself out lol

WHAT DO YOU THINK???

Also I recently bought Cantu Shea Butter.... I got mixed reviews on it, but bought it on a whim so I decided to try it...so far it is GREAT!!! Leaves my hair very well moisturized, and soft as a baby's bottom. I love it!!!



I am currently bunning, wore a wig for a week but it felt heavy and I just got tired of it. November I plan on getting a relaxer and taking Christmas pics with the fam, wearing my REAL HAIR!!!! Freshly relaxed and trimmed...OMG that will be a first!!! I think I will start using the CO 3x a week for a boost of a growth spurt....lol

THINK IT'LL WORK!?!?!?

IDK how many of you are on Facebook but if you are you should search for the group
HAIRLISTA it is so great, all the girls are amazing and helpful and I just love talking hair hair hair!!! :-)

Other than that that pretty sums up this update ladies....just sticking to my routine of cowashing/ DCing weekly, oiling scalp 2 times a week with a scalp massage and protective styling.

I have noticed that unless I have protien in some prods that I am unaware of, my hair really isn't protien hungry, all I do is cowash, shampoo once a month, and DC with Shea Moisture...and I have yet to go into moisture overload?!??? Im not complaining either :-)

How are your journies coming along listas???

Update....

Soooooo Where do I begin...On Monday the 15, you guys know I relaxed, so then this past Monday (1 week post) after research I decided to make my own concoction; Molasses, 1 Egg, Yogurt, & Africa's best hair oil with a dab of my fav conditioner...so I DC'd with that, for about 30 minutes, rinsed...my hair felt SUPER UBER Hard so I dc'd with Hot Oil and a Moisturizing conditioner...I pulled it back and bunned it tho it still did not feel like itself but oh well it was bunned (in my faux bun) ALSO: Quick review on that thing, I had it for 4 days and the poor thing came apart!! WASTE:: Anywho so it came apart and I had to work so I attempted to flat iron my hair with my Instyler, I M&S'd, applied my protectant...even on the lowest setting my hair was burning, I had no idea WHY...usually the Instyler does me good...and my hair seemed to be breaking MORE!!!! Not like bad breakage, but just more broken pieces than there had been...so I just pulled my hair back and wore my own lil ponytail :-( LOL...and I was distraught by it acting up so for 2 days I just let it be. So today, I cowashed with Hair One...did the whole REGULAR regiman...and my hair has resumed to it's normal self :-))

Lesson Of The Day: KISS KEEP IT SIMPLE SISTAH!!! LOL I have learned that my hair is not complex...it wants moisture, cleansing, and protection...all that hoo-fla I'm leaving to those who NEED it...AND I will stick to store brought items...leave it to the professionals LOL...anywho I have resumed bunning...

(Check the breakage in my "bang" can't wait till thats grown out :-()

My plan is to bun for now... I SAID I would get box braids next month, but IDK I kinda wanna throw on a wig before I do the braids...we will see...but I HOPE to protective style all Fall & Winter until next Spring....I really don't go out much sooooo no real need to wear my hair down, except out of excitement to do length checks lol

This is my back, neck length. Ultimate goal is mid back...loooong way to go but I will do it!!!
