Fell in love!!! Slippery and stress free.

Yayyy!!!

I finally found my STAPLE co-wash conditioner. I have been going through so many different products and nothing has ever been like this yet! I am so happy and relieved.

When I Big chopped back in March, I read many stories, forms, and blogs. I felt I had an arsenal of information on products, on hair type, and accessories.

Well, HOLD UP....I know if you have thought about going natural then you definitely should know about "Herbal Essence Hello Hydration." This is one of my most favorite co-wash conditioners yet.
But, last night I decided to co-wash using a new found love of the natural hair community, "Tresemme Naturals - nourishing Moisturizing Conditioner." This conditioner had so much slip and assist with detangling! I was in pure natural Hair Maven Heaven!!!

I had my hair detangled in the amount of 5-6 minutes! Usually it takes me 6-7 sections for 20-30 minutes to DETANGLE without hurting my beautiful tresses. I was able to really comprehend what others have praised and discussed for so many months.
I am not ever letting it go!!

Cold Wave Rods (yellow and pink)

Good night.
Today I kept thinking about what I wanna do to my hair, I kept thinking and thinking. Then I started watching some YouTube videos and decided I wanted to use these new items I purchased!

I cowashed my hair with herbal Essences Honey I'm Strong! And then I rinsed. Next I used Garnier Fructis 3 minute Undo. I used my wide tooth console shower comb and detangled each section. Then I did my shower stuff....
I rinsed the conditioner out completely.
I followed up with Parnevu leave in for Extra Dry Hair, then I applied my oil mix.
Now, following those steps I thought again what do I want to do to my hair?
I chose to do medium twist, then changed to small/medium twists and added the cold wave rods to the ends.

After I had oiled my hair to seal in my leave in, I use Curls Goddess curls to help with definition and hold.

I cannot wait to see my results!!!

Hard water or soft water???

I was stumped so I decided to figure out what is "hard water," which everyone I see references.

Here is a nice link which gave me a better understanding: http://www.nyc.gov/html/dep/pdf/wsstat01b.pdf

"Predominantly soft water in NYC!!!"

Sa'mani's Protective style...lets see!!

Yesterday I was bored. So I decided to do something curly Nikki does, I smothered her hair in coconut oil and twisted it for the night...oh and I finger detangled.

Today Sam came out the shower and her hair had gotten wet, so I decided to try a 3 strand twist, especially since she has length.

I sprayed some Roots of Nature Remedies Mango butter & Cupuacu oil on sectioned hair, used an "Afro comb" and 3 strand twisted!!

I will post pics of the turnout...
