So I was coming over to check something on the blog and realized the weeks post relaxer looked super wrong since I last got my hair relaxed June 15th of last year. Yeah I was seven weeks off. After an unintentional transitioning point and some random breakage prior to my big chop, it doesn't really seem like it's been that fast. I'm glad my hair is growing, fuller and healthier than it has been in years. It's not as long as it used to be when I was letting chemicals release the curl but that will come. The twists are helping my lazy to be sure but I haven't totally done my part to keep it well protected and moisturized. Since I got them reinstalled I have been trying to hit my scalp and length of my hair with either jane carter solutions re*store or Infusium 23 Olive oil leave in conditioner. I've been doing it daily but I think it may be too much. I'll see after this week how the buildup feels and if it's too much I'll cut back and wash my hair with the bottles again.
Honestly I'm super exhausted right now. If I hadn't been in the mood to braid and roller set the twists I'd probably be drooling on the pillow right now. I had a busy weekend with my sorority sisters at a conference and it was good be with them. However, I'm so tired now it's out of control. At least one of my classes ends on Thursday so I have a tiny bit of reprieve to sleep in and watch the start of Wimbledon in peace. I didn't take any photos of my hair immediately after it was done but they are smaller than they have been without feeling super heavy. Here's a photo from the weekend. Not super close up but you can see my smiling and somewhat dressed up lol.
I need to go eat dinner but revisit that super lazy. Hope you had a good week.
These braids are sooo pretty on you! Would you consider marley twists? I think that they would suit you!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your #washdayexperience chica!

I hadn't thought about them and I'm not sure why. I would have to find grayish Marley twist hair which may have been why I didn't look too hard earlier. It took forever to find this in sufficient quantity to make it throughout the rest of the year. Thank you for the compliment and I'll be drooling over your curls as soon as I finish giving this test.
DeleteYour smile is full of happiness! I couldn't help but smile back like the dork I am :)
ReplyDeleteLOL that's a good thing. It was a good weekend and I was happy that I made it down to the event even though I was very tempted to sleep for like 10 hours.
