Wash day and Newly Found Hair Products

Today is wash day! Today is wash day!  I made it a whole week with my twisted pinned up hairstyle.  I decided for the next several weeks, until May 21 to be exact (Summer break and no worky begins), I will be wearing it twisted and pinned up like the style I wore here.  Two main reasons: one is out of necessity, getting up in the morning is hard for a sistah seriously, so not having to do my hair in the a.m. helps alot. The second is I decided to try another challenge with A Grl Can Mac, check it out to see what I am talking about.  If you did check it out, I don't want my hair that long, maybe just mid back.  So today it officially begins, I will be shampooing, conditioning, and deep conditioning my twists ( cause I am not taking them out) and then retwisting my hair today, the hair style will not change much except for maybe a few flat twists that may be put across the front. 

Now to the new products.  I love Ross and the other day I was in there and ran across some shampoo and conditioner called Amenta Aromatherapy.  Now, I have googled this product and found that it is hard to find on the web mainly because there is no specific site but what I did find from searching is that I got it for a GREAT price, only $4.99 for a huge 32oz. Ross is the bomb diggity!  I bought the Rosemary Mint Conditioning Hair Rinse for normal to dry hair, it does smell great and I can't wait to try.  But it will have to wait til later on because I am about to take my daughter's skating and get my toes trampled on once again.  I will be posting a video product review soon, like before the weekend is over, to tell the results so keep an eye open.  Another product I found at Ross was Nexxus Designing Texxtur High Fashion Creme and I only paid $2.99 for it.  Yeah I said wow too.  Never heard of it before but heck for that price I couldn't pass it up, I will be trying it out on my daughters hair since she is getting a nice wash today too.  I will be telling more about these products in the video so stay tuned...

Oh, and here are some pictures of my hair growth

I might be late...

So I might be late...but oh well!
I went to Target today as soon as I got off work all excited to see if it was real, and it was, Miss Jessie's was there.  And still the same price :(  Like that was going to change.   Anyways, I am still excited, at least I don't have to order it online, wait a week for it to get here, and pay shipping and taxes, now I just pay taxes.  I have to admit that I have fallen in love with the Stretch Silkening Creme and Curly Meringue for mine and my daughter's twist and braids, and I have been wanting to try the Rapid Recovery so I will be trying that out but not soon.  All their products were on the shelf in the two different sizes and everything was the same price as online, though I was expecting them to be cheaper, now I did ask if there would be a buy one get on free like they do online but I didn't get a straight answer...guess that was a no.

One thing though, the lady stocking said they were getting Jane Carter and Curls also (which is cheaper and on my wanna try list) so I will make sure I check back when that arrives.  She asked me what all the fuss was about cause there were alot of people there on Sunday, I explained that curly heads all over the world (that lived close to a participating Target) were just waiting for this grand appearance.  She wasn't natural so I don't think she cared, plus she had a short cut so there wasn't much she could do with Jessie's, I did recommend she try the shampoo ;)-

There Is No Place Like Home

Just getting back from Las Vegas yesterday, I am jet lagged, and still going off the adrenaline rush of such a busy city.  I had sooo much fun though.  As the man said: it is definitely the city that never sleeps!  My legs are tired from all the walking I did, good thing it is Spring Break here so no work for the rest of the week. One thing though, I did come back with a severe sore throat and a touch of laryngitis, I am sure it was from all the cigarette smoke in all those doggone casinos.  That's right my voice is gone for the second time in the past 2 and a half months, what's up with that?  So...I just had to post a picture of what a beautiful natural in Las Vegas looks like, that's right I rocked my hair in a twist out for the past four days and was loving it. One funny thing, it was so windy on Saturday that my hair was moving in the high winds, LOL!  And yes I got plenty a looks at my big hair, I am sure it was just sheer admiration.
 First: a picture of me on front of New York New York hotel.
Second: me in front of The Forum Shops of Caesars Palace (can you say Gucci)
Third: a picture of my sister and me at her beautiful vegas wedding with her beautiful Locs.

Also, I had a video I was working on before I left but did not get a chance to finishe it, so I will surely have it available to view by this evening.
