Relaxer Update 1

So on Saturday January 6th 2013 I went and got a fresh relaxer and here are the results. I was 8 weeks post when I decided to relax my hair. This salon trip included a trim that my hair dresser said I didn't need but I felt like the ends of my hair were damaged. However, this will be the last trim I receive this year. I believe I have cut all the damage out and will be experiencing just growth. I just need to find some one to corn row my hair so I can have it sitting neatly under my wigs. Lastly my next relaxer will not be for another 3 months, with this braiding process I will be stretching for longer periods of time.

On My Wig Wish List

This wig is from RPG show which has been all the rave on youtube. Tyra Glueless Full Lace Human Hair wig. I'm absolutely in love with this wig. I will most likely have to save quite a few pennies to get this beautiful one. It's about $305 which is a little steep for me but wigs are an investment in my healthy hair journey so I will definitely have Tyra on wish list.

Hair Luv

I just wanted to show Keisha some hair luv. Her hair is absolutely gorgeous in this picture. It looks healthy and shiny. This is what I want my hair to look like at the end of 2013. Keisha definitely given me some hair motivation.

Creta Girl Bun

So I created a bun with my creta girl wig from freetress. I simply flat twisted the perimeter of my hair as my leave out and attached the wig to my stocking cap, using pins to blend my hair with the unit. Here is the link of where I got the idea for this hair style. Thanks Kanisha Reports Bun Tutorial!

In the future I plan on just wearing full wigs and having my hair braided underneath. I noticed my hair does better when it is not manipulated at all. I am venturing in to foreign territory but it's exciting.

New U-Part Remy Wig

So as you know, I'm on my wig game for the protective style challenge from Longing 4 Length. I'm so excited that I won this u-part wig from e-bay. Take a look she look just like me don't she (Sheneneh voice). I will most likely cut her as she is a little too long for my taste. I can't wait to get her in the mail, and get my Kelly Rowland on.

Update: Ms.Chanda is rocking a wig that is very similar to the one above. She has tutorial on blending but I will not be using heat with this hair. I will most likely flat twist the front of my hair. Check her blog out.

Yunessa

So in my life, I never thought I would be wearing wigs. However, in this health hair journey they are a necessity. I will write about my hair story soon. It's a soap opera hunty (thanks Funky Dineva). In the mean time I am looking to decide on these 2 wigs, Yunessa and Eugene both by Model Model. They are 3/4 part wigs and youtube has been Hiroshima-ing (not sure if that's a term but I use it all the time) about them. I think I will buying both of them. They are not expensive and get away with out using heat. I like the fact I can have a leave out, cause I can not stand that wig crypt look. Both can be bought on divatress.com. I will definitely upload and write my own reviews on them. Here are some videos to entertain you in the mean time.

Redken Anti-Snap Review

Wash day after air drying

I actually purchased this product in October using it after I wash my hair as a leave in. In my research on hair care, I learned that Ceramides are very important in maintaining the integrity of relaxed hair. Now there are organic and synthetic ceramides, Redken's Anti-Snap is the latter. I have to say this has been working for me very nicely. It's not drying or irritating to my hair. I will definitely keep using this product, and update you on my progress with it. Below is a link of what Ceramides are and their benefits.
