Damp Bunning It

Why is it easy to stretch sometimes and other times its so hard ?? I think I maybe 8-9 weeks post and my new growth is out of control ...Its not a lot of new growth ...It just seems like it is growing in a lot coarser than normal...


On top of my managing two different hair textures...My hair got really dry today...The Hubby and I was out most of the day and my hair just kept getting drier and drier....I all could do was think about getting home to fix this....

I guess wearing my hair out everyday ...My hair is finally begging for a break... I decided to baggy/deep condition overnight...

I applied Nexxus Humectress from root to tip on dry hair ..Covered my hair with a plastic cap and my scarf..

Tomorrow I will rinse and co wash...I plan on damp bunning for a couple of weeks to give my
hair a much needed break..

Happy Thanksgiving !!!



I guess there are a few hours left to Thanksgiving...So Happy Thanksgiving !!!! I hope all of you took the time to thank God for all the people and things in your life...

I didn't do much to my hair for today....So much cooking.... Who had time for hair ??? I just did a 2 braid -braid out..Nothing fancy...

I have fallen back in love with braid outs...Thats all I have been rockin since Sept .....I love the fact that my braid outs hang about MBL.....Sometimes I dream of WL braidouts...But that would mean I would have to grow my hair out to probably Tail bone...Which I would never do..That is way too much hair for me ...Hahaaha

I'm 8 weeks post relaxer and I have about 1 inch of new growth ...Which isn't bad at all...I just flat ironed my hair a couple of weeks ago and I didn't really have any newgrowth at all...Then all of the sudden its growing ing like a vengance...I can't be the only person that experiences this ???


Enough rambling...I hope all of you have a safe night......

Giovanni To The Rescue...

Finally doing a review on the Giovanni Products.....

Giovanni, 50:50 Balanced Hydrating-Clarifying Shampoo....

I needed to clarify....I had been using Hair One only for months and finally was experiencing some product build up...

Its hard for me to give a good review on a shampoo because I have fallen in love with Hair One...I lathered with it once and rinsed ....My hair was left feeling slightly stipped...I wasn't that excited about it ...But it did do its job

Giovanni Smooth as Silk Deeper Conditioner




I loved this conditoner...It is replacing Silk Elements ...My new staple !!!! It has a grapefruit and citrus smell..You either love the smell or you don't...I love it !!! My hair is soft and silky for days following this conditioner....

It does contain a little protein....

Giovanni Direct Leave In


I love this leave in....It is very light and weightless. Leaves my hair very soft ...This does contain protein also....Seems like my hair is loving protein

*****I do suggest giving the Giovanni Products a try if you are protein sensitive...Soy Protein seems to be more gentle...
 
I'm really loving Giovanni and I plan on trying more of their other products....I'm not trying to go all natural....But Giovanni being natural is a really big plus



Going Back To The Basics

Today I went to the grocery store and purchased Avocado Oil and Macadamia Oil.....Most of you know those are my favorite oils....I stopped using these because I was being cheap..I tried the Proclaim Natural 7 Oil and I liked it ......But nothing beats the real thing....

What's I've Been Up To Lately


Hey Ladies...

Did ya miss me ????

No seriously...Last week was a busy week...Still adjusting...

I have went back to work as a make up artist...Which was what i did really before I started being a stay at home Mom 6 years ago...

I'm doing the make up for 2 movies right now ...( My projects)...Crazy part is working has landed me a couple of small speaking roles...Which is so funny...

Getting to the sets at these early hours and working out who picks up the kids and who drops them off to 3 different schools has been stressful to say the least...But I have been able to work it out each day....Thanks to my family...( Too cheap to hire anyone right now)

So thats what I have been up to....I got so many emails asking what am I up to...So many of you feel like you know me ...Know me.....Thats good...Then I think a % is just plain nosey...Hahahahaha..But its all good..

I share the parts of my life that I chose to share and nothing more .....
