HAPPY NEW YEAR ~2013~
Hopefully, everyone has had a welcoming and safe New Year's Eve!
I have decided to give a try at using a regimen...hmmm. I wonder how long this will work for me? I usually go with the way I feel and then I do twist or twist out or some style.
My regimen will be similar to Jenell of kinkycurlycoilyme , the difference being I do not shampoo every week, I don't deep condition every week either. I will use the products she has recommended and a few different ones.
My regimen will consist of the Yucca&Baobab hair mist (Jenell's fave), sealer(Coconut Jamaican black castor oil and tropical traditions virgin coconut oil gold label), followed by Karen's Body beautiful sweet Ambrosia Leave-in (Pomegranate & Guava scent).
Now as far as moisturizers I am trying out the Karen's body beautiful Super Duper hydrating hair cream and KBB Butter Love(final seal).
For deep conditioning I will be trying out the KBB luscious Locks hair mask.
I also will be trying out 2 Shea moisture deep treatments; raw Shea butter deep treatment and the Yucca & Baobab anti-breakage masque.
I will keep in my rotation Curls Ecstasy Hair tea Deep conditioner.
I may use a different moisturizer/cream and my final sealant may vary...not sure yet.
Today I sectioned my hair into 4 sections from a 1 day twist out, I I used the KBB leave-in to soften each section and give it some wetness, then I applied my warmed CJBCO&coconut oil to each section and scalp, I massaged the oil into my scalp and onto the hair shaft.
I massaged each section until I felt it was all softened and damp. I took one section and parted into 3, I applied the KBB super duper and massaged it into my hair shaft.i parted that into 2 and twisted, FINAL SEAL with KBB Butter love and cold wave rods at the ends.
I did this to each of the four sections, except in the front, I attempted 2 strand flat twist and twists at the ends with cold wave rods to hold the ends and black long bobby pins to secure the 2 strand flat twist.

Do You Need a Mini Chop?
Yes!!!
I did my Mini chop on Dec.12.2012
It was much needed.
When I would finish my twist and twirl my ends, I'd always notice a string of hair straggling and I also noticed my ends were dry and no matter how much deep conditioning, moisturizing, and oil I added it was not helping.
I had come across an article through curlynikki.com and read more about what a mini chop actually is and that's when I decided I would Mini Chop.
This photo is the amount of hair I chopped off...
After, I finished my mini chop, I twisted the sections.
This was the length after unraveling one of my twist after my mini chop session.
I decided to do small to medium sized twists, but I also wanted to utilize my cold wave rods, so I through those in my hair.
When I took the rods out, my hair was really curly so I banded my hair and attempted to stretch my hair...lol. (See what happens when you have too much time on your hands?)
My final results, I loved it!!

I think I chopped off too much at the back in the center area, but I am okay with it, because it'll grow back...lol.

Cantu Shea butter & Shea Butter mix Twist
Good Day!!!
I had co-washed my hair Sunday (Dec.16.12) and I had just applied some Giovanni direct Weightless leave-in and my oil mix and donned my satin hair bonnet. Each day since, I sprayed my hair with either water and then applied some more Giovanni or I'd use some Curls Lacish Curls 2nd day refresher.
Yesterday, I decided to detangled and section my hair for my twist.
Today, I sprayed each section with Curls lavish curls, smoothed it through, then I sealed it with my oil mix. After, sealing I ran the wide tooth comb through, making sure I had no tangles or knots. Then I applied my Cantu Shea butter Leave in Conditioning repair cream and sealed with my Shea butter mix.
I will post pics of my results.

Prepped for twist!!
Hey ladies and gents,
I wasn't in the mood to manipulate my hair these past few days, so after I had cowashed, deep conditioned, I used my Giovanni's Weightless Direct leave-in and Coconut Jamaican Black Castor oil to seal. My hair remained soft and moist for 3 days.
Today I decided to detangle and pamper my tresses.

Hello everyone,

She details how African black Soap has helped aid in her fight with pimples, acne, and clearer skin. Jenell also discussed where she got her hands on some 100% Raw African Black Soap. Madina on Atlantic ave in Brooklyn NY.
