School Dayz: Senioritis and the Hair Obsession

Its Official...

I have senioritis...

I have homework to keep me busy but the only thing on my mind is hair! I keep logging in to see if Curly Nikki has added any posts, if Mane and Chic has made an update, if MopTopMaven is feeling any better (at least enough to blog! #soselfish) It's pretty sad. I watch YouTube more than I do TV.

Sidebar: I just melted. Selena is on TBS (: All time favorite!!

Back to me not doing homework, it's just so difficult to find motivation.

That is All!

G'Nite Folks...

Anyone Else suffering from Senioritis?

Keeping Hair Healthy w/ Weave and Such

Check out this post with tips on keeping your hair healthy under your weave or for those of you growing out your relaxer.

Healthy Hair Tips From Celebrity Stylist Shedelle Holmes


I especially like....

If your hair breaks easily without much tension and your hair feels dry and brittle, moisture is needed. If the strand seems to be extra stretchy, your hair feels mushy when wet and stretches when you comb it, you’re in need of protein. A strand with the proper balance will be strong, and take the right amount of force to break. Protein is very important in hair health and growth retention. An intake of protein in your diet is important including vitamins like omega 3.

All Things Girly: Black Onyx Polish



Polish is an all time Passion of mine. Fall is my favorite season for polish and I am definitely an OPI girl.

Here are a few pictures of My current nail look "ONCE YOU GO BLACK, YOU NEVER GO BACK"

OPI color: Black Onyx


I also have one blinged out finger on each hand, I was looking for a little razzle dazzle this time around.
To get the bling on the nail, I simply polished with with a clear polish (don't use quick dry) then I used my nail dotter, put a little clear on the tip to pick up the rhinestones. Then I put the them on the nail and applied a few coats of clear on top.

Hopefully, I will get a week out of this polish. Wonder what color I'll do next. Enjoy :)

I say...

YAY:
Every time I wash someone's hair with this we come up with something yummy with ever sniff. I say it smells like cake batter although I have heard cookies, cupcakes, brownies... Needless to say, it smells like something you would like to eat.

I usually use the shampoo and conditioner as a combo and it leaves the hair looking incredibly shiny and silky. It looks and feels so healthy. The hair feels soft and light with the air flowing freely. It also leaves a pleasant smell on the hair.

NAY:
I find it hard to say nay about anything other than it seems I have to use more conditioner than I would like. I usually end up adding a little Matrix Conditioning Balm (review coming soon) to the Brunette Goddess Conditioner.

Kudos to Bedhead and Shout Outs to the Brunettes! This Product get an A++

I Can't Help the PJ in ME

The first step is admitting... right?

Okay, well, I said it.. I am a PRODUCT JUNKY!

It's horrible, I go to the hair store and I feel like a kid in a candy shop. I went to two hair stores to get color for a customer. I came out with 4 shampoos, 2 conditioners, Moroccan oil and almost fingernail polish. It's a shame. With that being said, I am going to be reviewing some products after I use them for a little while.

Products:

BEDHEAD Brunette Goddess(shampoo and condish)
Joico Silk Therapy (shampoo and condish)
Matrix Hydratherapy (shampoo and condish balm)
Paul Mitchell Moisture (shampoo)
Paul Mitchell Tea Tree (shampoo and condish)
Yes To Cucumbers (shampoo and condish)

Cantu Leave In Conditioner
Eco Styler Gel (regular)
Kinky Curly Curling Custard



Let me know if you want to know about these products... I'll review them.

Protective Hair Style Dilema

Hello!

Well, I don't have much to say today other than... THIS HAIR ITCHES... I have been so used to wetting my hair all summer whenever I feel like it. However, I have a sew-in like I mentioned before. I really like this hair style but I feel like I'm neglecting my hair. I moisturize it with the Bee Mine Products but I prefer good 'ol H2O.

I am thinking about Cowashing tomorrow, but until then, I shall vent to you all.

I'm not all talk.. I listen :) Tell me your hair woes! (please)

Loco about COCO-nut

My new found love is definitely coconut oil. I just love it.

It works the best on damp hair. The other night, I drenched my hair in it since I hadn't had any coconut oil on my hair all week. I woke up expecting it to still be coating my hair but to my surprise, my hair was thirsty. My hair felt nice and hydrated but without the greasy weight. Just immaculate.

I purchase unrefined raw coconut oil from Whole Foods. Any brand can be purchased as long as it's unrefined and USDA approved.
