Rules Smules...
Hair Updates! I'm going to make this post quick -- I cut the remainder of my sister's relaxer out, I relaxed my hair (my hair is super long now), I bought Aloe Vera Juice (AVJ) and Veggie Glycerin, and I made KimmayTube's Leave In Condish. Whew! Ok, now to the details. Up first, JoJo.
She is now natural and loving it! I cut the remainder of her relaxer up, gave her a good shampoo and condish, and did my first twist out! It took me at least 2.5 hours to twist up her entire head, but it was worth it to get the results. Next up, I relaxed my hair!

Making the Most Out of the Day
With my stomach still upset, but less fragile than the previous days, I'm attempting to get work done along with taking care of my hair. This will be another ALL day update.
Friday, 1:30 PM:
Per last night's update, I was contemplating doing an overnight treatment. I sat on the couch one minute too many and became too tired to implement that idea. So I woke up this morning and applied EVOO, did a brief massage, and baggied. As I wore the cap, in between looking at PowerPoint files, I also looked at a few youtube vidoes and some threads on Long Hair Care Forums. As I watched/read a few ideas ran through my mind - I wanted to deep condition, but I didn't feel like washing my hair first. So I started planning out a dry hair deep condition. That eventually lead me to thinking about a protein treatment. I only used an egg about 4 weeks ago and that wasn't the best experience. I decided to do the later.
On another note, looking through the forum of relaxed ladies with super long hair, confirmed that I am taking the right approach in my hair journey, if not doing too much. It appears that DCing once a week, not using a lot of heat, and using protein at least once a month are the commonalities for hair retention and growth. Yay!
I just washed with ApHogee Shampoo for Damaged Hair. My hair felt SOOO nourished and moisturized while wetting and shampooing. I absolutely love wetting my hair now. I then applied ApHogee Protein Treatment very generously all over my hair. I paid a lot of attention to my ends and edges. I prefer to let it air dry versus using a dryer. The only thing I don't care for with a protein treatment is how sticky it can be. I prefer to pour it directly out of the bottle into my hand, so it could be my own fault. Either way, in about an hour or so, I'll rinse, use ApHogee Balancing Moisturizer and then apply my Silky Smooth DC mix.
Stay Tuned!
