Hair of the day

Here is today's hair, a three day old wash and go using KCCC. I really like this stuff, surely helping me to keep it simple this summer.
Still moisturizing at night, sadly I am out of KeraCare Butter Cream sample that I have fallen in love with, I hate to buy another product but I don't know any other moisturizer that does like it, I put three ponys in my hair and go to sleep. This morning I did a different refreshing routine, I took a section at a time and rewet with warm water, then I took some flaxseed gel I made and a little olive oil and rubbed through the section, I did this for each.
What was the reason for this?
I don't know, the flaxseed gel is very wet and mixed with the olive oil, I was sure it wouldn't get frizzy. I guess we'll see after it dries completely.

Hair Business

I have been doing hair for the past 6 days, starting with my sisters hair on Wednesday and Friday taking down her locs finally finishing on Saturday.  After calculating it all up it took about 15 hours total to comb all the locs out, not bad, we cut half the locs and then got started.  Here hair is very thick and unfortunately she does not want to deal with it so in two weeks she is getting a texturizer.  Sad Face, I know.  But you have to understand my sister: she is very tenderheaded, she works nights and sleeps all day, not to mention is expecting her third child, and she hates doing too much to her hair with a passion. I tried to talk her out of it but her mind is made up, I'm not mad at her though, what ever is going to make her happy.

One last loc waiting to come undone

She is free...

Unfortunately we were so excited that it was all over we did not take an after shampoo and style shot, but trust me it was so dang cute on her. Oh and we shampooed with Shea Moisture Moisture Rentention, she likes it so she bought her some too.

Ok, so Thursday, I braided two little girls hair, not my girls, I have regular "clients" whose hair I braid, I don't like dealing with grown folks.

Sunday I washed and retwisted my husbands hair cause it was looking a hot mess.  To shampoo I used my African black soap shampoo that I make with peppermint, talk about refreshing, I then twisted with Jamaican Mango and Lime Wax Creme, the Tahliah Wahjid was not giving a good hold. He was looking fantastic!

It's definitely growing...

So what did I do today, I braided one more "clients" hair and then got to working in mine.

First I took a dip in the pool, I love swimming.  Today I calrified using VO5 Tea Therapy Clarifying shampoo, that stuff is no joke even after being diluted with water it left my hair clllleeeaaannn, but after conditioning with my Tresemme and doing a deep conditioning treatment my hair was fine. I haven't clarified in a while and I could definitely tell it was time.  Style of choice was a wash and go using Kinky Curly Custard, sorry ya'll I really like that stuff, I put it in my hair and was out the door.  This summer equals simple and this for me is simple....One thing I did different was I worked with bigger sections instead of small ones then I twisted after applying the custard and let the twists sit in for a while and untwisted, this definitely made my results much better, where there's a will there's a way...

Kinky Curly Custard Day 4

Todays wash and go turned into a twist out. It wad kind of rough looking this morning so I spritzed medium sections with water and twisted using a little oil mixture, the kinky curly was still there so I did not have to add anything for hold. Tomorrow I will wash and retry.

Kinky Curly Day 3

This is day 3 of Kinky Curly Custard wash and go. Last night I scrunched in the KeraCare Butter Cream before bed so it could soak in, this was my first time using the cream it was nice and thick and did exactly what I needed. Again this morning I just spritzed with warm water, shook my hair and went on my way.
The "Custard" does not add any curls only gives what you already have some definition and hold, the key with it is that it adds weight to lengthens the curls. My hair has tiny coils all over and that is exactly what you see in my hair.
I love it, here are day 3 pics.

Avocado and KeraCare Revies

So my last post was on the Avocado Deep Treatment and KeraCare, here are my reviews...
Avocado treatment:  I think I liked it but I will surely give it another go round before I say this is a definite addition to my regimen.  I did leave my hair shiny and smooth but not silky soft as far as protein goes I think it had just the right amount.  It was better than the Placenta protein treatment I did a while back, I vowed never to try that again.

On to the KeraCare: My favorite product so far is the shampoo.  I loved it, hair was clean, scalp was clean, not mention my hair did not feel stripped and I could run my fingers through my hair while the shampoo was still in.  I seriously called my husband in so he could witness it.
Afterwards I used the Leave In- this was a total fail, it was way too thin for my hair.  My hair may be fine but it loves thick leave ins, I did not feel the leave in coated my hair enough, it even left my ends frizzy and poof (I wish I had taken a pic of that). I think I will stick with the Kinky Curly Leave In, my hair loves.
Okay, so on to the Twist and Define Cream: sigh...I thought I was going to have this amazing twist out the next day... sigh again.  My hair dried completely over night but when I took it out in the morning it was a definite no go.  There was no soft hold, my hair was dry with no shine to it at all, I tried rubbing the Hair Milk through it but that just made it frizzy.  I have to admit I was disappointed.  BUT, I am not giving up on the cream, the next time I use it I will be trying it with the Kinky Curly and I will give my results on that. Needless to say I washed my hair.
The Hair Milk: worked marvelous in my daughters hair, OMG, I haven't come across a milk for her hair in like never.  Wonderful for her thick hair.

So after all that, I rewashed my and guess what I did. I applied Kinky Curly Curly Custard and did a wash and go, my first time using this product.  I was pleasantly surprised!

 Here is hair wet with product...I was

afraid I applied too much but as

 it dried it was fine.

Here is hair totally dried by bedtime.

 Next day hair refreshed just using water 

after being smooshed through the night.

No fear though, curls are still poppin

and soft. Tonight I will be rubbing

a moisturizer before bedtime.

See you tomorrow for third day hair.

Wash and Go Fix

Part 2 of my wash and go journey: Monday morning I conditioned with Tresemme Naturals and shook my hair vigorously then applied KC leave in with a little oil and Bed Head Control Freak, yes I use that for my "gel" if you will. My results were much better.

Wash and Go

I decided I wanted to do a wash and go for the last week of school and the rest of the summer while I am off. Saturday I washed my hair and tried a wash and go using Eco styler gel to see what kind of effect I  would get- well I washed, conditioned, and got to styling. I used Kinky Curly leave in conditioner under the gel, hey if it works for "The Custard", I applied it on super wet hair a section at a time and let it dry, the results were pretty good. The second day was alright cause I just spritzed with water but Monday morning I re-wet for work and looked in the mirror and my hair was white. OMG, I had to get in the shower and run conditioner through, afterwards I used the KC leave in and my Bed Head Control Freak as a leave in to hold my curls since it is quick drying, I had super shrinkage but great results.
Here are the Eco results, the first pic is after application the second is by the end if the night, a frizz dry mess.
