Remixing A 4 day Old CF Set
















A curlformer set after being dampened in the rained. The curls softened a bit so I just put in my banana clip and I got sooo many compliments. I had no idea that a cf set could last me the entire week. I was so happy. I have been very low manipulation. I am getting to my length goal of BSL this yr. I am getting a sew in the right way, this time, in about a week.










Relaxer Update 6/2010- Silk Elements




Product Review: CHI Infra Treatment

CHI Infra Treatment 12 oz $12.99
Thermal Protective Treatment
Dates of Usage: 2/17/10- 7/10/10

Description: CHI Infra Treatment is specifically developed to work in conjunction with the CHI line. CHI Infra Treatment with Cationic Hydration Interlink is a superior moisturizing and protecting treatment. Hair will be left with the proper balance of moisture for silky manageable hair with incredible shine every time.

Directions: After shampooing the hair, apply a generous amount of CHI Infra Treatment and work into the hair evenly. Leave on hair for 2 to 5 minutes and rinse thoroughly.

MY TAKE: I have been using this product for a while and I am very pleased. It does exactly what I expected it to do. It leaves my hair silky yet my hair feels strong, but not “proteiny” or stringy. I have absolutely no complaints or qualms about this treatment. I feel that this protein treatment did a great job. I've been using this product for awhile. This is a product that I would replace, however I've come across drug-store brands that are similar in nature to this product. I may or may not replace this product but only because I am using up quite a few. This will more than likely be revisited in the future. Towards the end of this products use, I would mix it together with NTM Daily DC to save time. I would apply both of them together and dc for about 20+ mins or so. I loved this combination, in my mind moisture and strength.

I would apply this product and get under my heating cap for about 15-30mins. I wouldn't ever follow it with a moisture product. This product really didn't leave my hair lacking moisture at all.

No Posts In Awhile...Been Busy :(

I've moved to Alabama and I am still trying to get myself situated. Things have been happening so fast. I have so much stuff in storage including my usb cord for my camera. I have a few reviews that I want to post and lots of update pics. The skinny on my hhj thus far:

*Relaxed 6/16/10 with Silk Elements w/ Shea Relaxer-Regular. I really like the results. I may stick with this relaxer for awhile. I noticed that it did start tingling a little quicker than I'm used to but that could have been for many reasons. I had a three day old braid out in my hair when I was called in for an interview the next day so rushing I combed it out and did my relaxer. I was about 11wks post anyway so it was time. I could've just gotten away with a fresh wash and flat iron but oh well. I wont do that again, I i'll use proper pre-relaxer regimen.

* Length-hmmm, I am truthfully not sure. I have been very protective of my length since I've been down here. My brother keeps harassing me about straightening my hair and seeing the length. He is so anti-short hair that it is ridiculous so I'll let him believe what he wants to believe until I am ready to flat iron again which isn't often. Not to mention, I probably won't post as many length updates anyway. I want to be surprised also.

*Coloring-I have the itch again. I just can' get over it. I want to color my hair so bad!!! I saw a young lady the other day with beautiful tri-color highlights and she gave me the number to her stylists. I want them so bad. I will make an appt this month. I haven't colored for two reason, first I wanted to make sure I had a great length retaining regimen first and secondly, I didn't want to replace my top 5 fave half wigs because if color changes. It's so easy to blend my naturally black hair. Well I'm over it now. Life is too short. I'm getting highlights. I will definitely keep you all updated.

Oh and have you noticed. I am almost 5 months pj clean. Just using up what I have.
