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 ...

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...
