Week Before My Relaxer

My temporary black color rinses out a little more each time I wash or co wash... I'm not sure I'm ready to commit to the black yet... So I will just use the rinse every 4-6 weeks...
I'm going to clarify my hair and do a light protein treatment this Sunday to prep for my relaxer .. I'm going to make sure my new growth is moisturized , detangled and soft ... I'm going to put it in a bun and leave it alone and relax at the end of the week... That will make me 14 weeks....

I won't be doing my usual 6 month stretch... My hair grows faster in the summer and the Bee Mine growth serum has it growing nicely... So until it cools off again I will be relaxing every 12-14 weeks...

I will be using Aphogee 2min Re constructor on Sunday ... I also will not oil my scalp or use any of the Bee Mine products near my scalp ...The essential oils can cause burning during the relaxing process...

I Hate When Companies.....

I hate when companies discontinue your favorite products. Ugghhh so I went to the MAC store to repurchase my Studio Stick SPF 15 Foundation... I love this stick ...I use it as a concealer , base for my eyeshadow and for more coverage under my MAC Studio Fix Powder when I need it... I call it my everything stick..

I get to the MAC store only to find out they are discontinuing the Studio Stick soon... The young lady could tell how upset I was and she had to stop me from buying a years worth ... She talked me into trying the Studio Sculpt SPF 15...

This foundation is liquid form vs the creamy texture of the stick.... I'm so happy she convinced me into trying this... It gave my complexion a very nice healthy glow ... It's medium + coverage so I only had to use just a very very small amount... It worked great underneath my MAC Studio powder.. I love the fact that its water resistant .. Perfect for the summer.. .. It cost $29.50..

I'm still hurt about my Studio Stick leaving so I will probably still go buy a few just to have...

TRAYCEE's TIP OF THE DAY

I use MAC Fix+ ..... I just spray it on my face after moisturizing as a base for my makeup... It takes a few seconds to dry ...I then apply my make up then I spray my face again to set my make up after I'm all done... I also use it sometimes during the application process... This spray is amazing... A must have.. It gives your a foundation a very natural looking finish...It makes my face look like I'm not wearing foundation at all.. It keeps my skin moisturized all day ...Keeps my face from getting oily and from my make up melting off in the hotter months...I don't have to retouch my make up at all when using this !!!

" An Aqua Spritz of vitamins and minerals, infused with a calm-the-skin blend of green tea, chamomile , cucumber, top off with the fresh, natural, energizing scent of Sugi. Adds radiance , finishes make up . Spray it on . Your skin drinks it up " $18.00

Hair Toys

I got some toys !!!!  If you can't tell already... I'm really getting into the buns . They look so elegant and chic.


I got the Goody Spin Pins and I love them !!! I did a video about them I'm going to upload soon... They are so easy to use and they do not snag ... Love them  ....

I'm so happy that my shedding is gone ....I thought for a minute I was going to have my first set back ..But the Black Tea Rinses really worked..
I'm going to continue to do them 1x a week or every other week.

I'm about 11 weeks post and I will be ending my stretch and relaxing in the next couple of weeks.. I won' t be doing my usual 6 month stretch this time.. The heat makes stretching even harder for me ..So I will start back on my longer stretches when the weather cools again

When Do You Detangle Your Hair ???

Random

I have been feeling under the weather the last couple of days....We went out of town on Mothers Day to visit family and I woke up Monday morning feeling horrible... I guess this is my body's way of making me rest..

This afternoon I moisturized my hair in small sections with Bee Mine Beloved Moisturizer ...Made one low braid and pinned the braid up and covered with a scarf....

Seems like I only reach for the Bee Mine Bee Loved these days even though I love the Bee Mine Luscious moisturizer also

I have some really good news and updates hopefully I will feel up to doing a video tomorrow....
