This past weekend I noticed a couple broken hairs while finger combing my hair. It wasn't many broken hairs but enough to make me realize that I'm in need of a stronger protein treatment. Plus, I relaxed approx. 1 wk ago, so its time for a protein treatment. I usually use Aphogee 2 min 1x a month. After doing more research on it, a protein treatment should be left on the hair for 15-20mins in length as opposed to 2 mins. Plus when I used ApHogee, my breakage wouldn't stop completely...there were still a couple broken hairs after the treatment. I didn't want to use this again.

With that being said, I remembered Traycee's protein treatment where she uses an egg, a cheap conditioner, leaves it on for 15 minutes. I was attracted to that since it seemed so simple and easy. With my mix, I used 1 egg, Aussie Moist conditioner (put enough to cover the entire egg in the bowl) and 3 tsp of EVOO.


This mix can be runny so be careful while applying. I left it on for 15 mins with a plastic cap (no heat), rinsed and followed up with my DPR/AtOne Mix for 30mins w/ heat (lovess it).

As my hair was air drying it felt sooooooo soft, noticeably thicker, very poofy and I had more waves in my hair than normal. Once my hair was dry, I moisturized and sealed, no broken hairs in my hand, nothing!! My hair felt much stronger and was retaining moisture evern better than before. I was so happy. After that I styled my hair & went out. I will be doing this treatment 1-2x/month now.

I think I'm going to have to trim my hair :-( I'm so sad right now but I know its for the better. When I first relaxed, my ends looked alright, but now they are getting tangled, snagging on one another, I'm paranoid! I normally trim with every other relaxer, however this time around I gotta trim again.

Right now, its all about healthy hair, so holding on to these ends wouldn't be the best decision. I went to Walmart yesterday to look for some Conair or Goody Trimming scissors but they were sold out. Now, I'm thinking about going to my hair dresser (Tuesday) for a wash, blow dry and trim?? Im kinda scared to do it on my own, although it would be cheaper.

I'll fill you in on what I decide to do :-(

P.S. I need trimmed ends to join the Healthy Textures Deep Conditioning/No Trimming Challenge

So I went to Walgreens and picked up some nail polish. It was on sale buy one ($1.99), get one free. I couldn't pass that up. The Brand is called "Sinful Colors". Plus, I went to Victoria Secret and picked up two new lip glosses. I got 2 for $12. I love gloss/shine on my lips, I'm not a fan of lip stick or matte colors.

Just thought I'd share with you some hair comparisons photos. These photos were taken through-out my hair journey. I'm happy with how much the front of my hair has grown. That area of my hair grows the slowest!! Why, I don't know?! Check 'em Out (click the pics to enlarge):

OMG, this stretch was sooo long. It felt like years, honestly..LOL. As you may or may not know, I'm currently in North Carolina and its been a hard task trying to find a hair dresser that appreciates healthy hair care practices. I goggled & called around and finally found a salon called Unique Hair Creations in Fayettville, North Carolina . They were great!!!!

My stylist was nice, very attentive and grateful for my service. She used Nu Expressions Normal strength relaxer by Bronner Brothers. It didn't burn or irritate my scalp. She suggested that I get a trim (like every stylist) but I said "No" since I can't trust just anyone to trim my hair. She was very understanding in my decision. She put a lot of heat protectant/serum in my hair before flat ironing so my hair looks kinda flat. Oh well, Im happy its relaxed & it grew. Here are the results:
