I adore this picture mainly because it's quintessential summer. Funnel Cake stand. I can't just smell the sweetness. Feel the humidity and sun.

Detangling and Trimming Natural hair

Once again I come to this blog during the late hours to talk hair...well write I guess.

Anyway I thought I'd share my detangling and Trimming Regimen.

Detangling

Firstly. I try to make detangling my hair the easiest, smoothest ride possible. When I first started out transitioning I would wash my hair, dry and then get out of the shower and try to detangle the mess I called hair on top of my head. Boy oh boy have I come a long way lol. Countless ripped out hairs I don't know why I didn't think to do it in the shower???.

I'm constantly trying to make my detangling session quick and easy and have really only found one way that works best for me. Or two.

1. I get into the shower as a whole. Meaning I plan on getting wet.

2. I part my hair in two sections.

3. I shampoo each section of hair and then rinse.

4. I then apply my conditioner and then with my wide tooth comb I detangle each section.

5. If I don't use my conditioner as a deep conditioner I rinse out as soon as it's detangled under running water RUNNING WATER ALWAYS!! it is truly remarkable how easy it is for me to detangle under running water. Makes everything a breeze.

That is pretty much it.

My second routine would be for when I don't plan on taking a shower. I pretty much do everything the same except I apply the conditioner  and then put at least 6 ponytails each on the side of my head and detangle each section. It does take longer to do but I can settle for time over ripped out hair.

This is my hair this morning after rinsing out my conditioner. I ended up washing my hair late last night and was too tired to rinse out the conditioner so I left it in over night and rinsed as soon as I woke up.

I applied Organix Coconut Milk Anti Breakage Serum as soon as I rinsed while still in the shower and then apple Oyin Whipped Pudding to my edges. Tied down with a scarf for smooth edges and went about my day.

Trimming

So It's been a while since I trimmed my ends. I try to do it every two months and so far have kept up that routine since last July.

I let my hair dry throughout the day, since I knew I would be twisting and and attempting to rock a twist out tomorrow. Doesn't really work on damp or wet hair.

So First I got my shears (Shown Above)

My wide tooth comb which I used to detangle before I twisted.

I used Burnt Sugar to moisturize my hair. After Detangling, I began to twist using a little bit of Burnt Sugar from the middle of my hair down. I don't really like to add much to the scalp. I then trimmed off maybe less of an inch of my ends and then sealed them with the Burnt Sugar.

My ends lol.

And done :). It took me a long time to do the twists. They are pretty skinny which always takes more time and I was watching TV and taking a break every here and now. Overall I started a little before 7pm and finished around 10:45 pm. So I hope it turns out good tomorrow. If not who cares I aint going nowhere lol.

Now I'm off. Time for sleepytime ha.

Review and haul update

Organix Avocado Acai Berry Conditioner

So I've had this for quite a while now. I have to say I am a fan of the Organix line. I love their Serums and conditioners. I used to purchase them from Target but for some reason when they remodeled they stop carrying the line which really annoyed me lol. So now I have to go to Walmart to get their products and they offer more flavors then Target ever did. Ridiculous right? I've noticed a lot fo naturals seem to stick to the Coconut Milk of the Green Tea? or Mint flavor. But I like to try everything out. 

So I have to say This conditioner is alright. It is quite liquidy, much like lotion. It is a light pink color and it smells much like Berries. The smell lingered on my hair for days after. Even when I flat ironed I could smell the faint berry smell. As much as I love sweet smells I wasn't too fond. I'm much more a fan of clean smelling conditioners with a strong smell that lingers rather then a sweet smell but I LOVE sweet smelling styling products, make sense?. Weird I know haha. Anyhow I probably won't buy this conditioner again I'll just move on to the next flavor. I think I might add put it in a water bottle and mix it with some water and have a moisturizer leave in spray. That is something I haven't done in forever.

As for the haul, today I spent most of the early afternoon online widow shopping and ended up purchasing some Shea butter which I plan on using on my hair when I flat iron to get it super straight and Oyin's New Honey Dew. So when I get those products I will review. Now I'm off to spend the rest of my sunday doing nothing:).

Update ha!

So it dawned on me that I haven't blogged in forever. Here I am at almost 2am downloading Elton John and The Strokes onto my itunes feeling quite crappy and I have an urge to blog.

I don't have much to say though, considering the whole point of me having this blog was to talk about hair and I honestly have nothing to say about my hair. It's been straight since  March 26th and only washed twice. I've been wearing half up, half down and that's pretty much all there is. I don't know when is the next time I will be able to wash it. I desperately need to wash it though, I've been working out hard and the sweat is killing me. My week is filled with millions of things. My birthday is coming up and I plan on doing nothing but a long overdue urge to go to a baseball game with my friend might just happen on that day. Go Twins! and Joe Mauer!, I know nothing about Baseball and HATED it and I mean HATED it in school, but a few months back at the place where I did my taxes which was a library to be more specific they showcased African Americans in Baseball for Black history month and I suddenly realized I had never been to a ball game and really wanted to go for a long time due to my love for one of the best movies ever, The Sandlot, so I txt my friend and she said well lets make it happen so finally we set a date and it just so happens to fall on my birthday.

So anywho I have a trip that I need to prepare for in June/July to Texas as I have mentioned before. I got out my to do lists and calculating my plan to save before then. So that is all really that I have been doing. Right now I'm obsessed with The Strokes like I somewhat mentioned above and The Black Keys. So between listening to them and getting my rock on I've been going slightly crazy. So hopefully the next time I write it will be about hair. Now off to my music and then bed.
