This video illustrates how I dry my relaxed hair. I do the T-Shirt Method after I Shampoo and Deep Condition my hair. I've been doing this for about 1-2 months and I love it. It's a staple technique.

I'm part of the L'Oreal Beauty Tubes Mascara Program. The wonderful people over at Matchstick, a word of mouth marketing company, were kind enough to send me some samples. So ladies, expect some reviews in the next little while.

Here are some photos just to show you what I got!

This is one of the next items on my wish list. I've heard amazing things about it from the wonderful ladies on the Hairlista Inc. Social Network and my new stylist recommended it as an overnight pre-poo treatment.

Advantages of using Jamaican Black Castor Oil:

Tropic Isle Jamaican Black Castor Oil is known to cleanse toxins from the scalp, nourish and thicken the hair, stimulate hair growth, moisturize dry brittle hair, repair split ends, and give hair body and bounce.

I'm thinking about applying this to my scalp twice a week to cleanse my scalp thus promoting growth. My scalp is well cleansed from shampooing twice a week. However, adding Castor Oil to my regimen will reassure me that my scalp is staying clean. This may be a great way for me to reach my goals even faster.

I'm finally relaxed and it feels good. I did a quick video showing my hair and the final result. I had a better than expected time at the Salon. My hair grew a good amount. I was pretty shocked at how my ends held up. I didn't trim and I was soooo excited to not have to go through that again! The Bun Challenge on Hairlista Inc. is really working as well as moisturizing and sealing in sections. My ends did not CHANGE at ALL.

Since I had a good amount of growth in just 10 weeks, I think I'll be consistent and officially start relaxing every 10 weeks. No need to go beyond that. Check out my video if you haven't already.



My stylist also recommended AG Products, specifically the conditioner & Jamaican Black Castor Oil as a pre-poo the night before I shampoo. He said I'd love it. Have you ladies tried AG Products? If so, how did you like/dislike it?

Alright, so I went to a new salon today and everything turned out pretty good. My stylist was a gentleman by the name of George. He used ORS Olive Oil Lye Relaxer on my hair and I must say that my hair feels very good right about now. I'm pleased!

He Relaxed, Neutralized, Deep Conditioned (AG Intensive Conditioning Treatment), Dried, Blow Dried and Flat ironed my hair. He used a really light serum by RUSK all over. My hair has a nice sheen to it and it's very light and bouncy :-) I must say that he was kinda rough with my hair at times (i.e. detangling and towel drying) but as soon as I warned him, he stopped..which is good!


What I loved most, is that the Salon is in a MALL! So free parking and the food court is just downstairs. I was very happy about that!!!! I think I'll go back :-)

• I'm 9 weeks post and I will be relaxing in the next couple of days (shortest stretch ever!!)

• I'm still on my Personal MBL Challenge and so far so good. I've completed these things:

Year 2 Goals:

- Hit FULL BSL by Spring 2009 (March-April)

- Reach MBL (Oct. '09)

- Simplify my regimen & products even more

- Keep breakage to a minimum

- Baby my ends and Moisturize & Seal in Sections

- Increase thickness of ends

- Dust ends frequently

- Use low pH products (shampoos & DC's)

- Increase moisture level

• I found amazing Deep conditioners that make my hair feel lovely i.e. Silk Elements Mega Cholesterol & Moisturizing Treatment. Thank God for my pjism :-)
  
• I'm using Hollywood Beauty Castor Oil again as my sealant along with Hot Six Oil. Hollywood Beauty Castor Oil is much thicker for this harsh winter weather. I l♥ves it.
• S-Curl No Drip Activator is back in my regimen.
• Currently using Mane N Tail as part of my protein treatment. i.e. 1 Egg & Mane N Tail w/ EVOO.
  
• Narrowed down my staple products.
• I use the Wet Look wide tooth comb from Sally's instead of the Jilbere comb. The teeth are slightly wider and detangles like a dream.
• Done with towel drying, I only t-shirt dry my hair now.

At this point I'm excited, speechless and shocked at how fast the Hairlista Inc. Social Network is growing. Thank you, thank you, thank you to those who have supported and encouraged me through-out the launched and growth of Hairlista. Huge thanks going out to all Hairlista's inviting their friends and family to the Network. I greatly appreciate it. Last but not least, I give all praises to God for allowing me the opportunity to serve others.
