In Depth Regimen Building (Special Request)

A hair regimen is a consistent "routine" you use to care for your hair.  Having a hair regimen will make your hair healthier and allow you to retain length. Our hair grows just most of the time it breaks off at the same rate it is growing, making it stay the same length and appear that there is no growth. Let's start off with the BASIC things you need for your regimen. First and foremost you NEED a wide tooth comb! A Shampoo Conditioner Leave-in Conditioner Deep Conditioner (Lots of conditioners right? Moisture, Moisture, Moisture) A water (Aqua) based moisturizer Oil Protein Treatment Growth aid (not mandatory) Okay now that I've listed the BASICS I'm going to go into detail. A SHAMPOO that's sulfate free is ideal. However, it will...

My Relaxer FAIL. (PICS INSIDE)

After transitioning for 13 months,in other words a year and one month (I only had about 4 inches of relaxed hair left), February 10th I decided to relax. WHY?: 1.It took forever to detangle my hair. 2. My hair was growing BUT I couldn't really wear it "out" and enjoy it.3. I was tired of weaves4. I wanted to be able to COMB my hair.5. It was very time consuming TIP: CLICK PHOTOS TO ENLARGE. 8 Months Post 11 Months Post 1 Year Post So, I did my "homework". I also contemplated weather or not this is what I wanted to do. Then, I weighed the pros and cons of a no lye relaxer and a lye one. After finally deciding to go through with the process,  I asked my mother to go to the store for me to get me an ORS (Organic...

Hairfinity Healthy Hair Complex Review

This is my official Hairfinity Review. I paid for these with my own money,  and I'm not being "advertising" for them. Hairfinity is a "vitamin" complex that promotes hair growth. It contains various different vitamins, biotin, iron, etc. Most people who took the pills say you have to take them for 3 months consistently to have maximum hair growth. I took them from September- October. Then I took them for one month and that was in December. These pills are a bit on the pricey side, one bottle is $24, the 2 month supplement is $42, and a 4 month supply is $82. You take 2 pills a day. I took one in the morning and one at night but I found it most effective when I switched and took BOTH at night. The pills are large and...

ApHogee Kertain 2 Minute Re-constructor REVIEW

This is a follow up to the Hawiian silky 14 in 1 moisturizer bye bye S-Curl/ ApHogee Keratin reconstructor post I did a while back. The ApHogee Keratin Re-constructor is a mild protein treatment for breakage it's mild so it can be used weekly until it stops. Typically you keep it on for 2 minutes but if you have a more severe case you can keep it on for 5 minutes then wash it out.My hair was over moisturized and was lacking protein so I decided to pick this up at the BSS. I kept it in for 5 minutes. Right after I washed it was back to normal and felt "Balanced" no shedding and it didn't feel gummy or mushy. I followed up by deep conditioning my hair but not for too long since I needed more protein...

How to curl your Kinky Twist W/ Pipe-cleaners

When I first got my kinky twists my curl weren't "tight" they were very loose. Curl pattern is personal preference though, and I wanted a tighter curl. This is a cheap way to achieve a tighter curl with out having to go out and buy curling rods.To curl your kinky twists using this method You will need: -Pipe cleaners -Hot water -A cup or bowl -Blow Dryer (optional) STEP ONE: Separate hair into sections and begin wrapping your hair around the pipe cleaners like you would a "flexi-rod". (The smaller  the sections the tighter the curl) STEP TWO: Boil water or heat it in the microwave in either a tall cup or a bowl. STEP THREE: CAUTION: Be VERY careful, putting a towel around your neck with help prevent burns. Dip your hair...
