New Style

Hello again ladies. Sorry again for the hiatus, but I've been mucho busy. LONG STORY. LOL. But in the midst of all this, I've been thinking about my hair. How could I not? It's on my head. I touch it all the time. LOL. At any rate, I'm tired of my bun. Well...more like I got tired of it. So I'm trying a new style right now. It's just a step up. But it's still a protective style nonetheless. I'm doing two French braids on either side of my head. And I pin the bottoms up with French barrettes. I'll post a pic tomorrow or Friday when it's freshly done. It's really cute. It's modest, neat, easy to do, and quick. Perfect for me. Did I mention that it looks good with virtually every outfit? :)

The state of my hair is surprising me as the months get colder. It seems to be better able to retain moisture. I have been putting enough of it on there. Trust me. I use the Pantene detangler/moisturizing spray on my roots after I massage my growth serum on my scalp. The reason I do this is to make detangling my hair easier. My ends aren't the tangled issue. It's that mass next to my scalp. So it's a great thing. To moisturize, I'm still using the combination of my Wave Nouveau and Pantene Silk Transformation Creme. And I'm sealing with amla because I'm out of coconut oil. I haven't had time to head over to the health store and get some. But I will eventually. So overall, I'm not angry at my hair right now. I noticed that it's not growing as fast as it was, but that's seasonal. The length is coming in, but just a bit slower because of the cold.
My ends still need a little work, but they aren't so bad. They've been dusted recently anyway.

I'm still so loyal to my growth serum. But I wanted to try an experiment. The two weeks that I didn't use my serum when I was preparing for a relaxer, I thought about only using it for a month at a time on a bi-monthly basis. I'm not sure why, but I'm anxious to try it. So after I shampoo my hair tomorrow (clarify and the whole nine), I'll be putting away the serum for a month. One plus is that I won't have to co wash as often. But I really don't mind having to do that anyway. It's good to co wash. But I'll see what happens. I will go back to it though.

I'm so excited about getting married everybody. It's just been consuming me and all my time. I'm looking for that perfect dress and dresses for my bridesmaids. I'm going through every little detail. It may seem far way, but a year or even less is what it's looking like now. So I've got to get on the ball. There are so many details. I had no idea. And I'm getting ready to go back another semester. So everything is just crazy. But I'm loving every second of it. Soon the chaos will be over and I'll be able to laugh about it later.
