Protective Style: Twists / 13 weeks Post Texurizer

   School has been taking up the majority of my time and effort. I've gotten lazy with my hair, so I decided it was time to tuck it away for a while. I chose mini twists because I want it to last at least for 4 weeks. I didn't use any extensions. It took me about two days to finish. Since my hair is texurized, it doesn't hold the twists as well as if I was natural :(  so after I applied my leave-ins, I used the Fantasia High Potency IC Hair Polisher Styling Gel to    to hold the twists in place.

                                

                                            

Egg Protein Treatment

  I decided that my hair was in need of some care so last Friday I did an egg protein condition.

      *  Three medium sized eggs
      *  Two tablespoons of coconut oil
      *  One tablespoon of honey

I whisked the previous ingredients together until fully combined then applied the mixture to my hair and let it sit for 40 minutes. Let me tell you, having raw egg  running down your face for 40 minutes is not pleasant at all.
I more than happy to rinse the egg out and shampoo my hair. However the results were okay. My hair felt stiff like I had done a protein treatment, but my hair also was shiny. Overall I could tell my hair needed it.



                                           

Wash Day- 10 week post texurizer

It has been awhile since I've posted anything. School started 2 weeks ago, and I've been busy ever since.
Last Friday was wash day. My hair has been a bit neglected since school began, so I decided to do a egg protein treatment. Here is how my wash day went:

[1] I Pre-shampooed with my egg mixture. I left it in for 40 minutes. To read more about the egg treatment click Here.
[2] Shampooed with Paul Mitchell Instant Moisture Daily Shampoo.
[3] Rinsed with Green tea.
[4] Applied Just for me hair milk conditioner right after the tea, and covered with a plastic cap.
[5]  I rinsed out the product.
[6] Applied my leave-ins.
 I can't wait until the Summer ends simply because my hair doesn't love the humidity. My hair has felt dry no matter what I put in it. Augh. Wishing for colder weather.
   
                                              

Wash day- 7 week post Texurizer

I'm finally back from my trip and one of the first things I wanted to do was wash my hair. I haven't been treating my hair the way I wanted to. For 4 weeks I haven't done a hot oil treatment or rinsed my hair with green tea.   

But that changed on yesterday. (Thursday). My wash day went like this.

[1] Pre-shampooed with my hair with my castor oil mixture.
[2] Shampooed with Paul Mitchell Instant Moisture Daily Shampoo.
[3] Rinsed with Green tea. I also brewed the tea with a blend of the Orange Pekoe and Pekoe Cut Black tea. I don't know if there are some benefits to using Pekoe but it was in my stash of teas. Lol
[4] Applied Just for me hair milk conditioner right after the tea, and covered with a plastic cap.
[5] I rinsed the product out in the shower and wrapped my hair in a cotton shirt until it dried about 70%.
[6] Applied my leave-ins

I've been trying to grow out the nape of my hair. It has always been shorter than the rest of my hair but now that I've been reading many blogs I realize that it doesn't have to be that way. I'm going to try braiding my hair differently and babying my nape until it reaches its full potential.

                                              

Upside Down French Braid Bun

This is a hairstyle that I did for church yesterday. However instead of the braided bun I did a flower type bun. Last night I took out the bun and braided the rest of the ponytail without disturbing the french braid. Today I just wrapped my braid in a bun and secured with an hair band.

5 Week post Texurizer

I haven't been up to date with my blog since I've been out of town for almost three weeks now. I'm sorry to say that while I've been enjoying the salt water I haven't been as consistent with my hair routine. :( I made sure to wash my hair every week and condition it, but I haven't done a hot oil treatment, or a deep condition. I also have neglected rinsing with green tea. It's hard when you're in a different environment with a totally different schedule. *Sigh* I told myself that when I get back I'm going to pamper my hair to make up for what I haven't done the last couple of weeks.

On a side note I've been able to enjoy my hair on my trip. I never considered my hair as long and still don't but on this trip while I'm visiting family I've been getting compliments on how long my hair has grown. My Grandmother saw my hair and now insists that I where my hair down, to "show it off". However that doesn't fit my personality. I've gotten so used to protective styling that it's weird to do otherwise. :P

Oh and I'm so happy to find out I've been featured on Justgrowalready.com! It's been awhile since it has been posted but like I said I'm out of town so I'm behind in the blogging world. Anyway Thanks Jen!  :)
