Free Samples From Miss Jessie's!

So I decided to get in on this 3 free sample thing from Miss Jessie's because may as well take advantage right? I'll update this post as I try each product. What I received was the:

• Miss Jessie's Curly Meringue
• Miss Jessie's Curly Butter Creme
• Miss Jessie's Creme de la Creme Conditioner

Let it also be noted, that I am relaxed but I think my hair is more texlaxed as opposed to being bone straight. When my hair is wet it has a wave to it that I've never seen back when I went to the salon and my hair was being relaxed bone straight. That's why I figured these products would probably be okay for my to use since I still have a little of a natural wave to my hair. We will see how things go!

May I Have Had A Succesful Cowash?

So last night I got finished with my workout and didn't want to wash my hair. So I decided that I'd "cowash" with my Aussie conditioner I thought I hated and thought messed my hair up just to use it up. When I wet my hair and put some of the conditioner in my hair, my hair MELTED instantly! My hair has never done that, not even with my staple deep conditioner! So I left it on my hair for about 3 minutes and when I washed it out and detangled, there were almost no tangles (and I hadn't detangled my hair since the day before) I was very pleased. Then I decided to use my Aussie Split End Protector as my leave in since I had only used it on dry hair. I sealed that with my trustee grapeseed oil, combed my hair into a damp pony, put a roller on the end and went to sleep! The next day (today) my hair feels softer than when I wash, DC for an hour, and airydry in a damp ponytail. I am so pleased with my results! I was about to chuck my Aussie Moist but I've found a great use for it, and I now know my Aussie Split End Protector can be used as a leave-in for wet hair. I will probably try this out a few more times to make sure it wasn't a fluke and update this post but for now I'm sold!

HairVlog: Wet Bunning This Summer!

So this summer I have been really lazy with my hair, but not in a bad way. Normally when I wash my hair I rollerset it then I'm on my way. This summer I've put rollers in my head about two times! It got super hot and I couldn't do my hair in that heat so I threw it in a ponytail and secured my ponytail in a roller to give my ends a bump and let it air dry. I don't know what I'm doing different this summer but my hair is so manageable and soft after I dry my hair like this. Last summer when I'd do this my hair would dry but it would be matted together, not fun. Recently what I've found myself doing nightly is wetting my hair a bit, moisturizing and sealing my hair, then applying my Fantasia IC gel to the front half on my hair, bunning it, and going to sleep! In the morning my edges are nice and flat and though my hair is a bit crunchy, by the next night my hair is easily combed. I haven't seen any adverse effects to doing this, I also oil my scalp nightly and my edges to keep them soft. Overall I love wet bunning and am happy to welcome it into my summer hair reggy!

HairVlog: ACV Rinses

So I realized last year I think I have slightly porous hair. So I decided to finally invest in some ACV and did a rinse my last wash. I washed my hair, applied the rinse, then went on to DC. Overall my hair dried a bit softer than it normally would and although it frizzed up at first, the next day my hair looked as if I had done a rollerset! I will try more rinses until I finish off the bottle then do a full review. But for right now I have no complaints about ACV rinses.

 

After using the ACV in my hair, I read in a few places it also aides in weight loss so I may also try it for that at a later date!

Bought Me a New Product!

 

I was in Sally's today because I needed an applicator bottle but I decided to look all around the store since I hadn't been in there awhile. Anyways I got to the Proclaim section and saw the hair masque and remembered seeing a few reviews of how good this product worked. Being a product junkie I picked up the small sample size of this. I'm pretty excited to try this out my next wash! 

Bantu Knots!

So I decided to try the bantu knots but this time with a twist, literally! Anyways I did two strand twists then did the bantu knots. I also added some of my Fantasia IC gel to my. When I took it down I fell in love instantly! My mommy was like "Why don't you just go natural?" She really liked it too. It lasted all day long and by time night came it had fallen but some parts were still pretty curly. I retwisted the twists last night but forgot the gel and this morning they came out OK but I wasn't really trying. I've decided that when I do this hairstyle again I have to do the two strand twists and make sure I have gel in my hair. I really loved the curly look on my hair though here's a picture of the texture:

Sorry it's not the best picture but you get the idea(: I didn't expect it to come out so good! Anyways a full complete list of all the product I used are:

-Aussie Split End Protector

-Spectrum Coconut Oil (Refined)

-Fantasia IC Styling Gel

I'll definitely be perfecting this style over the summer so I can do it at school!
