Neem Care Shampoo

I don't shampoo often, because of the excessive stripping and all the other hoopla. While visiting My Organic Market, I found Neem Care Shampoo, which caught my eye after finding out about the whole Ayurvedic deal. Very interesting. This one can me found at betterbotanicals.com.

Lemming: Qhemet Biologics Sampler

The Soften and Hydrate Sampler at Qhemet Biologics looks like a true must have. Here's the scoop: "Due to our limited production capacity and the high demand for this product, items in the sampler, which consists of four 2 oz. trial sized products, may vary. The two constant items will be the Karkady Tea Replenishing Mist and the Amla & Olive Heavy Cream. The third and fourth items will vary based on availability between the new Burdock Root Butter Cream, the Honeybush Tea Soft Hold Gel and the Olive & Honey Hydrating Balm." I love the Amla and Olive Cream, I try not to use it too often because I am trying to stretch it out!

Shrinkage

Shrinkage is so whack. I mean really, you never get to see how long your hair really is without pulling and tugging on it. I am happy to see how much longer my hair is, with shriankage. This picture of my hair is straight out of the shower, looking rather dense. When looking at it, I didn't really notice a difference, UNTIL I looked at pictures of my big chop. I was utterly shocked, my hair has almost doubled in size. I can't wait to see how much longer it gets within the upcoming years!

Bantu Knots!

I'm attempting the infamous wavy bantu knots tonight. I'll be so mad if they don't look okay!! Well, not really, I'll just throw it in a puff!! I still have a quarter jar of Curly Meringue that I am trying to get rid of, so I decided to use it tonight! After my co-wash, I used my glycerin/water mix, Redken Anti-Snap, a bit of Shea butter and the Curly Meringue. I'm hoping that it will come out more wavy than frizzy. I probably should have made them smaller, I'm sure they would have looked better that way. We'll see in the morning....

Aphogee Treatment

I did the treatment right after I finished the video, any my hair feels super strong. Not necessarily dry, but not super moist either. I probably should have moisturized a bit more after I finished last night. It's been about 12 hours since, and I don't see many coils. That Aphogee treatment was serious!!! I'll be co-washing everyday for the next few days to make sure my hair gets the moisture it needs.

Fantasia IC and Water

I had a whack looking twist out yesterday, so I decided to bust out the curlies! I wet my hair a bit, than slathered on some gel. BTW, this stuff is SO much better than the $40 Curly Pudding and Curly Meringue. It's so hard to capture the coils on the picture.

Essence Hair Gallery...Loving This Fro'

I often frequent the Essence Hair Gallery. It gives excellent style ideas and tons and tons of categories! I am especially loving this look. I wonder if I will ever be able to duplicate it?? As I've said before, I have never been super in love with fro's. Yeah, I do wear one daily, but it's not my dream style. But this...this is FABULOUS!!! Check out the Essence Hair Gallery, you may find a whole new look!!

This Particular look can be found in the Super Naturals category. Looks to me like a braid out using really, really chunky braids.
