HAIR UPDATE (took out my sew in)

Today was my wash day and I must say I am satisfied with my results. At first, I was a little worried because my hair was a little drier than usual but my deep conditioning treatments handled all that. So far in my hair journey I've learned that moisture and protein balance does not necessarily mean 50/50. I did twerk my regimen and I will be doing only light protein treatments with ors replenishing conditioner when needed. Other than that I will be doing weekly moisture treatments & alternating between my aussie and my beautiful textures. 

Oh yea, on the beautiful textures, my hair LOVES IT! I'm glad that it was not a waste of 5 dollars. I think it will be a staple, I love the consistency, slip and most of all the Moisture! :)

MY KINKY CURLY 4A FINE STRANDS ARE OOHH SO HAPPY!

#I am currently trying out the L.O.C. method. Hope all goes well

Sorry I will not be posting a update pic. The next pic I will be taking is for my 1 year natural hair anniversary. HHJ yall!

TAKING OUT MY SEW IN!

OMG the time has finally come to take out my virgin indian hair. Overall, I must say i lovveee love lovve this hair sooo much! I don't wanna take it out but I MUST because Hair care is more important than a hair style! The good news is I will put it back in after doing my treatments & following my regimen while letting my hair breathe for 2 weeks. Can't wait! BTW here's a few pics of my virgin indian hair before being taken out. Enjoy :)

1 more week till takedown!

I can't believe that I've already had my hair for 5 weeks! This means that I am close to taking my sew in down. I am not going to lie, I did slack a couple of days in the week on moisturizing and sealing BUT I kept my hair moisturized and never failed to cleanse and do my deep leave in treatment. 

I am so excited to take this virgin hair down next week friday or saturday. Not because the hair is misbehaving , ( I would leave it in for a year if that was the case, this virgin hair is bomb.com) but because I've never left a sew in in my hair for this long, I usually go 3-4 weeks. I must say I am proud of myself for reaching my goal. I hope that I retain a good amount of length and that I see some thickness. If I am happy with the results, I will post a progress pic on here. 

1 MORE WEEK TO GO!!! :)

I AM LOVING THIS INDIAN HAIR!

-This hair has been THE absolute best hair i've ever had. Here's a pic of it now. I will never go back to beauty supply hair because i fell in love.

Also, i've learned somethings about this indian hair. It loves sulfate free shampooing, aussie moist conditioner, herbal essences anti frizz creme and lots, lots, i mean LOTS of water.

BTW I changed the part in my silk based closure, no more open book (middle part) till the next install of this hair. Had 3 great weeks, 3 more weeks to go :)
