Beware of "some" V05 Conditioners


Thanks to the Happy Hair Journey Blog I found out my V05 has protein in it. The previous V05 conditioner i had didn't have protein but the one I'm using now " Herbal Escape Free me Frescia" has protein. If you rinse the conditioners out, you should be fine but if you leave the conditioners in as a leave in it may not be that good, especially if your not keeping your moisture and protein in check.Solution: Co-wash with V05, then co-wash with a moisture conditioner (Giovanni). No more leaving this particular V05 in my hair as a leave in nor as a moisturizer.

Half wig into U-part wig

I continued to ask this question on hairlista and kiss and couldn't get the answer i needed so i tried it. And me likes. I cut the half wig down the middle and then sewed the sides up (video coming soon). I tried it on my sister, because i have these straw set and can;t see. And that thing looks like a sew in to me. The half wig didn't blend with my hair so it got frustrating so i made a U-part and i love it. It now looks realistic.

 The cutting.
 U-part, well slim U-part lol, didn't want too much hair out.

Sorry no pics with me trying it on, i have these straw sets and my sister is not cooperating , so yeah I'll post pics ASAP.

Straw Set Day 2: Epic Fail


I'm probaly taking this mess down today. I'll try again maybe in the future, with bigger straws

Hair review:Carmel Treatment on hair

I did the carmel treatment on my hair yesterday and it was amazing. Besides the banana getting stuck in my  hair lol. TIP: If you try this use banana baby food not real bananas that WILL be a disaster. TRUST ME lol!
Recipe: (got it from a lady on kiss)
 V05, corn syrup, honey, herbal oil, pantene conditioner, syrup (yes syrup),1 banana, & water
I didnt get No exact mersurements

Real Recipe:
over-ripe bananas or baby bananas
                                                                          Olive Oil
Shea or other heavy butter
wheatgerm or coconut oil
Honeymolasses or black-strap molasses
cornstach 
water
apple cider vinegar

 This is how my mixture look after mixing all the ingredients together.
 I applied it like a relaxer and as applying it my NG was laying really really flat like a relaxer.

 After applying the mixture i put 1 bag or shower cap over my head and tied a scarf. BE careful because this stuff is very drippy.
 I noticed my curl pattern was a little looser as well. Loose curls
 These a the roller i rollersetted with. To get the Ng layed.
 The RESULTS!!! 4 months post 
Conclusion: I will be using this stuff again maybe next week lol. My Ng was layed, it deifinitly moisturized well, and detangling was pretty easy compared to my last rollerset lol.


BANANA BABY FOOD INSTEAD OF BANANAS LOL OR OVERRIPE BANANAS.

Bantu Knots & Red Lips:))

I'm attempting bantu knots on 17 weeks post hair.


1. finger part each section and M&S like normal w/Moisturizer and sealed with oil

2. completed 9 total bantu knots did one strand twist

3. Oh yeah i did this one airdried hair (80% dry)


4. I bobby pinned each knot


5. Sprayed my whole head with my homemade leave-in conditioner from my regimen - very lightly just about 2-3 spritz for the whole head

6. tied down with satin scarf and set overnight

7. when taking them out lightly very lightly coat fingertips w/EVOO and unravel each knot then go back through and lightly coat fingertips again and separate the twists until I loved them.

8. Work with the knots and style as you desire.


PICTURES COMING ToMMOROW of the results !!!!!

I tried the cinnamon for hair color..

And.................It worked !!!! It inhanced my brownish redish highlights, you can see them in the light but can really see them in the son. I haven't took pictures but I am.
Here's my recipes :
`Cinnamon
`Conditioner (herbal Esssense)
` Table spoon of Lemon

I left it on for about 13 hours, i put three bags on my head and a scarf to trap it all in. I really think the cinnamon promotes hair growth because it tingled the mess out my head. Oh yeah, its hard to get the cinnamon out, so work it lol. But it smells awesome. But i will use it about 2 more times to get the natural highlights to come out more.
