Accidentally Texlaxed? How I fixed my texlaxed hair!

HEY TO ALL MY BLOGGERS! SORRY IVE BEEN AWAY SO LONG! I AM BACK WITH SOME GREAT NEWS!   I have finally fixed my under processed hair! It took some serious research and work but I did it and I couldnt be happier! I had been struggling with my under processed hair for a very long time. I was what I called "accidentally texlaxed". Texlaxed is when relaxed hair still has "texture" or a wave pattern to it when its wet. I did not want my hair to be like this so it was an accident; I was doing it to my hair without knowing. This is what i was doing that made my hair texlaxed: NOT using enough relaxer NOT using a strong enough relaxer NOT smoothing down my new growth while the relaxer was on NOT leaving the relaxer on long enough to "take" Texlaxed hair shows when wet then air dryed My hair was straight in some areas, and wavy in others (air dried) I had to take charge of my hair so I started doing a lot of research and came to the conc

Hair growth update-APL (armpit length)!

Hey bloggers! I know it has been a while since I have posted here! Im so sorry! Life and school has "gotten in the way" of spending more time on my blog but I should be able to most more often now! I wanted to update you guys on my hair growth journey that I started just 3 1/2 months ago. Take a look at some of my before and after photos. First day of challenge in April/beginning of May. Hair not quite BSL (bra strap length) Bad picture :( Hair uneven. Left side shorter than right. My hair was pretty uneven (because of a chop I did last year, attempting a bob cut....never again!) I can see that by using my MN (monistat) mix and taking biotin pills (from walmart), there is a noticeable amount of growth here! My hair is much softer and easier to manage. I am currently still wearing protective styles, such as wigs (but no sew-ins). A noticeable amount of growth! Hair starting to even out! I just about APL (armpit length)! I have had a few set backs beca

Puffy, dry, damanged hair? Heres the solution! Hair Porosity!

Have you had enought with your hair dry and brittle hair? Does it puff up so easily once you step outside, after your working so long and hard on flat ironing and/or styling your hair? Does humidity totally ruin your hair and make you not want to wear your own hair out? Or what about relaxers not taking for you relaxed girls? Does your hair not get straight after relaxing your new growth, even though you leave it on long enough? I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL! My previous post about my HAIR MELT DOWN promted me to do so serious research so I can find out what the heck is wrong with my hair. My research brought me to www.hairfinder.com  where I learned about the porosity of hair. Some hair is more porous than others. There is normal hair, low porous hair, and high porous hair. This can happen with relaxed or natural hair! In order to tell you your hair is normal, low or high in porosity, do the strand and water test found here.  Snap off a small strand of hair off of your hair (I got a peice

My Hair Regimen! 10 steps to healthy hair!

Hey bloggers! I wanted to share with you the products that I have been using to create my hair regimen while on my long, healthy hair journey! These are the steps I have began to take in order to help me reach my goal to mid-back lenght hair by next year: 1) Relaxing further apart/stretching my relaxer -I discovered I was putting too much relaxer on my hair and I was over processing it. I was also relaxing too often. I will try to streach my relaxers for at least 4 months. 2) Using Miconozole Nitrate (Monistat )-Miconozole nitrate helps rid the scalp of bacteria. This promotes growth. 3) Taking Biotin pills -These pills can be found at Walmart, CVS or Walgreens, or probably anywhere vitamins are sold. It helps promote growth and good health of hair and nails. 4) Washing my hair more often -....but not TOO often. Instead of washing once a month, I wash twice to help get rid of build up on my scalp, thus promoting growth. 4) Protein treatments -I started using an egg and ma

How To Grow Waist Length Relaxed Hair-Black Hair 101

***Original post by Brenda Barrett  of Black Hair 101*** This was a phrase that I would search for in my early days of researching about hair because I so wanted to grow my hair to lengths that I never had. I picked up some very important tips and tricks along the way that I want to share with you. When beginning your long hair journey, remember these step-by-step instructions. Please note that everybody’s hair differs. Some of these steps may seem strange at first, but they will be beneficial in the long run. Cut your hair .  Cut my hair? Yes, cut it. Whether your hair is natural or relaxed if you have split raggedy ends, you need to give your hair a nice trim before you start out. If it is uneven and ragged or some strands are longer than others just cut it. Split ends can never be repaired, they just keep on splitting up to the hair root. Just cut them off. Hair grows an average six inches per year, you will get back some of it this year if you treat your hair right.

Monistat Challenge-Growth pictures!

Just a quick length check! I have been using my monistat mix for a little over 1 week and I have definitely seen growth! I have also been taking Biotin pills to also promote hair growth. I know my hair looks ratchet!! Lol but this is just a pic of my new growth. The pic to the left was taken about 5 days into the treatment. The right pic was after a week. My new growth is soo thick, you can barley see my scalp through my part! I am holding out for a relaxer because I had one not to long ago. After a week, my hair falls below my first line, when I first began the challenge. My left side showed alot of growth! ^^^My hair on the side now reaches the first line! In the pics above, you can see the line where my hair fell just a week before I took them. It may be slight growth, but it's growth! A (bad) pic of what my hair in the back looks like! I'll be sure to turn AROUND the shirt to show the lines next time lol

Hair journey update: Egg/Mayo hair treatment!

I have started my protein regimen! My hair was super dry....especially my ends. I started doing some research.I then learned that hair needs protein to strengthen it. I had heard about putting eggs in your hair but thought it sounded crazy but it truly works!!   Hair Journal App   What I did was mixed 2 eggs and mayonnaise together with a fork. I used a perm brush to get the mixture close to my roots. I used my hands to put the rest in, mainly focusing on my ends. I then out a shower cap on and let it sit on for 30 mins.  Egg & Mayo Mixture, wide tooth comb, shower cap, perm brush!   This stuff works wonders when blow drying and flat ironing!

I used the above product along with my egg mixture. Helps restore moisture and shine!  Vitika Hair oil  I som

DIY: Acrylic Nails at home!

SOOOOO I had been watching alot of Youtube videos of girls who does their own acrylic nails at home... I decided that hey, I can save alot of money and do mine at home too! I simply went to my local beauty supply store (not Sally's lol) and got come Clear acrylic powder and acrylic liquid, as well as a square nail brush. I also purchased some nail "tips". The little baggie said "tips" but they were actually who nails you would just glue over your entire nail, thats why they are rounded instead of squared :( I made the best of what I had and used a regular nail clipper to clip the rounded part off and buff them down to a square shape!  After clipping, gluing and buffing the false nail   The nail "tips: lol   The acrylic power I used   Nail brush   Showing how I clipped the rounded tip off and how I pulled it off   Square!! lol  Close up of thumb nail all glued, clipped, buffed to a square shape an
