March goal update!

• Finish vitamins (Check I finished my Biotin 10,000mcg)
• Land 2 nursing positions (Fail)
• Get my BLS and ACLS certifications (Check)
• Wig it for the month (ends in April) (Check)

So I am happy that I only failed at one thing this month and that is finding employment, I am happy that I got to get my certifications out of the way, and that I made it through yet another month without putting my hands in my hair so much.

Look out for April's goals!!

Mega growth review

The mega growth deep conditioner only lasted me 2 washed. I don't know how I feel about it. I plan to buy it again and do another trial before I make my final review. I was true to myself when I said I was going to use it in the regular order, which is after shampooing but for some reason the result of it after shampooing and sitting under the hood dryer was not memorable. It did not soften, or provide slip to my hair that I could remember, nothing really stood out in my hair after using it. I don't know if it is because after I air dry and cornrow my hair then put it under my wig or what, this is why I have to just repurchase it and give it another try because I am a few more weeks post relaxer maybe it will take better with more dry thirsty hair.

My tentacles

Decided to just let my tentacles breath for the day. They are getting long under my wigs,  I just hope that it's all progress to BSL. I think I will continue with wigs until my birthday I just don't want any set backs from wearing my hair out.

BSL here I come... wild growth oil please give me 2 inches!

Just some hair talk

I have been using the wild growth hair oil for only a few days and my roots are getting so, so, so thick. It has gotten to the point where I grabbed my calender just to see how many weeks post I am. I am only 4 weeks post. There in  no way that my hair has gotten this thick in just 3 days of using the oil. It does have a medicine smell like everyone claims but I am sitting in the house so It's not a problem. But, did I really start growing new hairs already is what I am concerned about. This is just between you and me, but if I have started to sprout hairs in 3 days of using this oil I will never let wild growth hair oil leave my side ever in life this will be my staple scalp oil for years to come.

So, yesterday I decided that I was going to stretch my hair a little with detangling and grapeseed oil to see how far I have to grow to get to BSL (my goal was to make it there by April my birthday) and to my surprise my hair looked way longer then it did the week before. I don't know if my eyes are playing tricks on me but if I make it to double digits on my length check t-shirt I will jump for joy lets make no mistakes about that. To my knowledge I am somewhere around line 8 at the moment. I have been doing my best to nurse my hair back to heath by decreasing the shedding, dusting my ends, and fixing my porosity issue (ASV rinse which will be in a up coming blog). The goal for me was to make sure that without a doubt I was keeping the hair that is already on my head, well on my head and to just grow from the roots to gain length.  I claim BSL at line 11 on my shirt. Line 10 is the top of the bra strap and line 12 is the bottom  of my bra strap, I don't want to meet the top of the bra and scream BSL!!!! no, I want to be right on the bra at line 11 if I grow below it great but line 11 is my short term goal right now and if I am at line 8 that means I need only 3 inches. According to the reviews that's about how many inches people grow after finishing the bottle using it 3 times a week.

I am just going to stop this long blog here and hope for the best.

Wild growth hair oil?

Well I have purchased it and have decided to give it a go. It has been 1 year and about 8 months now,  and I still have not made it to BSL. I  have noticed that my hair was not the strongest and was breaking a bit more then it needed to in my journey,  but now that I feel I fixed that problem by not using heat so often,  deep conditioning, hot oils, and hiding my hair it should have no choice but to grow to BSL now. I plan to do a length check before I start using the oil and after the bottle is finished and hoping that this bottle can give me what I see raved about (2 or more inches in a short period of time).

Hiding my hair under wigs since January was my way of not seeing my hair and playing in it for a long enough time so that I can actually see length. I will not flat iron my hair on either of these length checks because I am on a heat free challenge at the moment,  but I will make sure that the length is visible the best way I can.

I plan to apply the oil 3 times a week until all gone. Form the size of the bottle it may last a month or a month and a half we shall see.

Heatless leave-out for NeNe...

This is how I prep my hair at night and during the day to match Nene. I only take the rods out if I am leaving the house and when I come back I throw them right back in.

Change in regime!

I am not getting the results that I want bottom line. So, I have decided to change my regime again. I feel as though that my hair is not as healthy as I thought it was. I will be using the aphogee shampoo which I love to keep the moisture in, followed by deep conditioning with the mega growth deep conditioner with heat (I have heard great things about this conditioner), and then apply my aphogee leave in and let my hair air dry( this is a new product for my stash I hope I like it.) and lastly I plan to moisturize and seal my ends daily with my beloved triple moisture and coconut oil. that is my new regimen and I plan to do this until all of my products run out by that time my hair should look and feel better.

*I will switch back to the old school days when I would shampoo first and then deep condition. I never had a problem with hair growth when I did it that way only a problem with retaining my ends (I never knew about M&S in those days). I am praying that keeping the simple order of a weekly shampoo, deep condition, leave-in, moisturize and seal would give me the desired results I want.

* no hot oil treatment in this regime. I did not see any spectacular results from my weekly hot oil treatments with almond oil, it just used up my oil faster then desired.

* This month is my last wig of my 4 month wig challenge. A length check will be soon up end of this month... I don't know if I will continue until my 2 year hair growth anniversary which is in August of this year (5 months away!)

School Update

I am back in school! I must admit I am a bit addicted to education, but what are you going to do about it. as long as I enjoy learning why stop? So, this time around I have decided on an all online school to which I will be completing my masters degree in nursing. I have already started classes now and so far I don't feel like its going to be to bad or to much of a workload. I just need to feel more confident in working the course website is all. I have enrolled to take only 2 classes at a time and I guess because I am unemployed at the moment getting the work done is not stressful for me. This could all change, but for now I am enjoying it.


I cant wait to be done, and move on to something new!

New product coco lime!

I purchased this conditioner today with the hopes of it bringing back life to my older synthetic wigs that I have worn previously. They are cheap wigs but buying the same wig over and over can put a dent in your pocket. I just want to increase the shelf life of these wigs a little longer. I plan to wash them all and spray them down with this product and styling them as I see fit. Later in the month I will give my finally review of this product.

My 4th wig in rotation for 4 months!

Nene!

8 days have gone by...

Low low manipulation is the name of the game. I have not touched my hair since I relaxed it. I sprayed it ounce with a little water and conditioner to moisturize and sealed that in with coconut oil without taking down my braids and I was good to go. I said I was planning on keeping my hair up for seven day in  these 2 braids and I sure did. Now on to my wig of choice for this month.

Put my hair away for 7 days!

Well, It's a new month so let me just take a week break from my wigs and wear my hair. Well, the best way for me to wear my hair at this point is braided. I wanted it off my shoulder and tucked away so I went with my fav. Hairstyle the Halo braid. Keeping it in for 7 days exactly,  then I will proceed to wash and pick the wig of my choice for the month of march.

P.s my bald spot has not gotten any better I will just except defeat at this point.

Relaxed @ 9 weeks

The deed was done and I don't really care for  it I guess I have to wait to wash it because it is so flat. I have decided not to flat iron it when it dried and I did not blow dry it neither, because a special someone (my puppy) decided that he wanted to eat the cord of my hair dryer. So, currently I am on a no heat challenge by force because in no way am I about to but a new hair dryer at this time.

I relaxed with the Amla relaxer and deep conditioned over night with the conditioner, my creme of nature conditioner and Aussie 3 minute miracle. I was not playing. For this upcoming month I will start to focus on adding more protein to my hair because the relaxer took a bit more then I wanted to and I know there was some overlapping done so fragile, fragile, fragile is the name of the game.

Look out for my upcoming post on my March wig selection.
