End of HHJ Obsession/ Devotion
I've considered so many other areas of my life that could use this devotion. This is my goal deadline. I will have to purge all of my unused products and devote my time an energy to the betterment of another area of my life. MBL is my ultimate goal, but I have no idea where my hair will be come December 31, 2013. That will be five years of being hair obsessed.

Product Review: Neutrogena Triple Moisture Daily Deep Conditioner
Neutrogena Triple Moisture Daily Deep Conditioner 8.5oz/ $5-7 Drugstore/ Walmart/ Target
Deep Conditioner- Moisture
Dates of Usage: 2008-present

Description: The restorative power of a deep treatment is captured with the ease and convenience of a one-minute rinse. Salon- approved and scientifically proven to help even severely dry, over-processed hair feel soft, smooth and totally touchable all day, after a single use.
Directions:After shampooing, massage conditioner throughout hair, concentrating on ends. Rinse well.
MY TAKE: I love, love, love this conditioner. This is my staple deep conditioner. I have tried so many deep conditioners and this is the one I always come back to.I've courted this dc for awhile now, I am definitely ready to commit. I love this deep conditioner because I don't have to use a lot and it really does last awhile. I believe that one container lasts me about 3+ mos or so. I'll pinpoint exact length next time I buy a container. I love that it is readily available and I can get great package deals on eBay and amazon. I find that this dc leaves my hair so buttery soft and I have excellent slip.This dc is effective as a cowash, prepoo, rinse out conditioner, etc. I am extremely pleased no matter how I use it within my regimen.
I was looking through my product reviews and I can't believe I never posted this one. This dc smells nice, not an overwhelming smell at all. It has a balm-y like texture. The funny thing about this dc is that when you first apply it because of the consistency you normally expect it to coat your hair. This stuff melts into my hair like butter. I am so shocked at how soft my ng is after a DIY steam treatment. This is an oldie, but goodie for me. I don't plan to stray anymore. I actually ran out today and that is why I decided to post this review. I normally try to post about a product after I've used it up. Now I need to restock. I don't know how I ended up with so many protein dc's and only one moisture dc in stock.

*I am so close to my simple regimen stash. I've used up two products this weekend. I am so happy. I had it bad!!! I don't think I've come across a pj that topped me and that's not a good thing. Check out my pj inventories, you'll see.

Another Caruso Set
Caruso may turn into my favorite set besides curlformers. I don't even get a perfect roller wrap look when I roller wrap. I love this look.
Do I plan to do a Caruso set daily? No, my weekend just so happened to be eventful. Not to mention I needed a quick styling option and its been foggy/ humid so I didn't want to get out my tools. I could definitely see myself air drying then putting these in on a weekly basis and wrap nightly when I want a straight look.

Quick Caruso Set
I applied about a dime size amount of oil throughout my hair. Rollers were kept in for about 20 minutes or so. I finger combed and styled curls. Thanks, Shika!! I forgot how simple these rollers are to use and they turn blah into BOOM BAM!!! Very happy. Hubby was glad to see my hair down and dressed up. I look cute for cruising around here and there after the Dr appt. today.

My Daily Look
I moisturized my hair thoroughly one day this week in sections. In the morning and in the evening I apply a dime size amount of moisture mix (homemade concoction, but not all natural) and oil mix to the ends and bangs. I sleep with my hair in a single bantu knot. I take it down and finger comb it in the morning. My hair doesn't shed much. My hair feels so moisturized. I oil my scalp with Castor oil once a week.

Unsuccessful Set
I was attempting to ponytail set.
I set my hair successfully. I think this set was extremely easy and smooth. I enjoyed doing this set. I was also feeling a little lazy at the time.
I took a break to eat my dinner. I returned to the dryer to find that it would not turn on. The ionic light was on but the dryer would not start. I even tried different sockets. SO, I guess you know what THIS means......
A new dryer sooner than I hoped. I took it to mean time to get serious about researching a good dryer.
I ended up taking rollers out and just wrapping my hair while still a little damp. I let it air dry overnight. It had lots of body. There was no curl to the ends so I bumped it. My hair was still puffy so I put on a headband.
The best thing about this wash was that I finished off another product out of my pj stash. I also returned to my beloved Motions CPR Treatment Conditioner (with the herbs in it). My hair loves this stuff. It's amazing. I can't wait to clear out my stash and get back to my staples.
