Update Fo sho

It's been way too long since my last post!. Gahhhhh. So...life has been pretty crazy so far. My lack of posting was basically just laziness and then eventually life got Cray cray( Hate that word) and I neglected my hair blogging.

I'll just try to sum everything up.

My hair hasn't been straight since June 6th. Since my cousin's graduation. I flat ironed and it was quickly ruined by the most random storm of the summer so far. So I said screw it. I had it in my had I would flat iron this summer but then I snapped back into reality that my hair was not going to act right with this summer heat, so I gave up and have been flat iron free for almost three months.

I've been trying new products since my Oyin eventually ran out.  Shea moisture and CURLS. So far I'm loving Shea moisture coconut and Hibiscus hair smoothie crap lol. I HATED CURLS creme Brulee. It made my hair feel like a ragged donkey. I've also been gelling it up this summer with IC fantasia. I've found  a new love for it. I also learned how to do a donut bun from watching youtube videos hahahaha. So all summer I've basically been donut bunning it and Slick puffing?...it up. I still don't have plan to flat iron soon. It will be getting colder then so I guess that it when I'll flat iron since I know I will soon tire of my curls.

As for me life, I've spent this summer trying to enjoy summer. Working out mostly and trying to work. I registered for school and started last Thursday. I have to go to school tomorrow for a pointless meeting. Then I have to go again to another meeting butt crack early the next day, then my Medical Terminology class  laterthe same day. Then the hard one from this Saturday for the next four months I have an internship I have to do also butt crack early in Da Moning. So my life is about to get cray cray (sorry) but I'm ready for it.

So that is all for now, Off to twist ma hurr and watch me some big brother after dark and anxiously await the pending football season. AARON RODGERS!.

Castor oil and product review

Me eyebrows look a mess...anwyay. Those are my ends

 sealed with Castor Oil.

I bought this Castor oil

A few months ago but found myself not using it because it was so thick and smelled like...something waxy and weird lol.

However I decided to Seal my ends with it after I washed my hair a few days ago.

After I washed I used Oyin Hair Dew

As you can see I purchased some Oyin and they have new Containers and designs. Anywho, after I applied the Dew, which brings me to another topic. I am trying to not be as heavy handed as I can be. I'm trying this new thing out where I only use as much as I need which isn't even much to save on product, money and my hair getting build up so fast. I kept experiencing the greased up hair when I had a relaxer feeling. Not cool. So I've been doing a pretty good job so far. My hair doesn't feel like crap.

Back on topic!. So after I applied the Dew!!!...I rub a teeny tiny baby sized amount on my fingertips and sealed them ends up BOOYAH! and the result was my ends swirled up as you can see in my main pic and my hair was extremely,deliciously, luxuriously,ridiculously soft. I was amazed and shocked to why I never this this before,before..although I think I have but didn't have these results so this time around I got the results I was looking for. Yay for me.

Three Years since my last relaxer!

Yep my big huge face right on top.

So I meant to post a blog on the 26th because that would be three years since my last relaxer,but I got busy so oh well! lol. So yes, Three years since my last relaxer and I have to say I am very proud of myself for sticking it out this long. I never thought I would get to say three years since my last relaxer.

I've learned a lot and am still learning. Choosing to not relax my hair was a great decision. Of course I have my days where I'm just like screw HAIR!!!! get me a box of that creamalicious crack relaxness! but I then wake up and realize what a journey I went through with transitioning, I've  put too much work into my hair just for me to slap a perm into it. 

So that is all for now. Until next time.

Update.

So my first post of the New Year.

Hair News: I flat ironed for the first time this month and so far it's been ruined my my new obsessions with baths...yeah not much a bath person, used to be when I was like 8 but recently I've been getting back into them because it's been so cold in my apt I find that they are the only things that truly warm me up. That and a hot cup of tea, more so the bath because the Tea heats up my armpits...odd.

Anyway, I've been pretty good with moisturizing and keeping up with my hair. Which was my goal for the year and well my goal in general.

I tried a new way to go about flat ironing this time. Instead of rocking some twists and then detangling them completely to start my flat iron session. I decided to keep them in and flat iron each twist. So take out the twist, apply the protectant and use my wide tooth comb to detangle and there we go. That way I only got a small section and it wasn't all wild and crazy and poofed.

Like this lol. I found that it was much neater to do my hair this way, faster and my hair overall just came out better.

My hair has grown a little lol. Still needs to be the length I want it. I still feel like it's awkward to style

That is the hair from the front looks alright but I think I look odd with really straight hair...I've been curling my hair with the flat iron for months now and not ready to rock just straight lol.

Anyway that's all my hair news. 

In other news, I've been really into eating healthy which I want to do lol and cooking my meals from scratch. I Made Salmon the other day and it came out amazing.

I marinated it in garlic,Soy Sauce,Lemon juice and seasoning salt cut up some lemon slices threw it on there and BAM!, came out perfection. It was surprisingly good. Had a side of Broccoli and Brown rice on the side.

This is a trend I can keep up haha. 

I've also been into baking, I intend on making a cheesecake from scratch soon, hopefully that comes out as good as the Salmon.

In other news, life has been pretty boring lol. I applied to school and am awaiting my acceptance letter in the mail. The weather around here has been great, hardly any snow and it hasn't been that cold so yay for me!.

Anyway I guess I shall retire to the rest of my day.
