Relaxing my hair

Hey peeps, just too update you i used the ORS edge control to keep my edges under control while my hair was flat twisted. Anyways pulled out my flat twist, i just used my big teeth comb and used a little of my detangler, i didn't want to use much, cause i was going to relax my hair and with all that new growth I really wanted the relaxer to take to my hair, so i just sprayed the detangler where the elastics were in my hair (to prevent the twist form pulling out), this allowed the elastics to easily come out without pulling out any of my hair. My hair was stiff though due too that darn spritz. I recommend before going to a stylist find out what products she use when styling hair and if you don't approve of them you can find a different stylist or make the stylist use products what you want in your hair. The stylist I went too I liked how she styled my hair, so i plan to go back to her but bring my own product I was planing on buy the IC fantasia liquid mouse spritz cause it alcohol free. 

alcohol free spritz

great ingredients 


Anyways I pulled out my hair Friday and i didn't trouble it cause i didn't want to get burned when i relaxed my hair so i just used the S Curl no drip activator to moisture my hair and luckily it was weekend so i had no where to go and  could walk around my house looking like a hot mess. Anyways when it came to relaxing my hair Monday I went  to grandmothers stylist let me just tell you guys now bad experience. She applied relaxer all over my hair even the ends, she said i had virgin hair. Which is not true guys always try your best to avoid getting the relaxer on your relaxed hair n o matter how long your hair hasnt been relaxed for,  unfortunately for me i did not know this at the time (i always have bad experiences with stylist). the experience gets worst after she washed out the relaxer she put me under the dryer with my hair just so and blow dried it then flat iron, so much heat for a look that could have just been produced with a rollerset and a saran wrap. This just caused breakage which i already had a little of with the spritz incident and as soon as I got it under control thanks to the S curl this lady messes up my hair with overlapping the relaxers, she trimmed of the ends and I went home. 

the cut looks slant to me

My scalp got burnt 


Luckily the products I had saved my hair I love ORS carrot oil it has a mix of protein and moisturize so your hair gets a balance which is important, it has no mineral oil or petrolatum it is the best product. Some people complain about the smell but i can get by it, but this stuff definately saved my hair. So i wrapped my hair every night and wear protective styles in the day this mainly includes me wearing clip ons and as time progress my protective styling options will increase. I wear clip on buns and clip on ponytails (well i only have one of each). For my buns I would advise you chose a bun that the part where you put your hair is deep cause you want it to cover the whole of your hair, and buy a human hair ponytail. To make the ponytail look real i just use clips. I love my bijoux clip on ponytail, just had too say that it looks so realistic.  

First time putting it in

My clip helps it look more natural


In terms of products I use in my hair and my weaves, I use ORS carrot oil and seal with herbal oil at nights, in the day when styling i use ORS edge control on my edges and use a boar brush to catch up my hair, i also use Argan oil to add shine to my hair and use it on my ends as well cause it prevents frizz. For my weaves I use Africa's best organics Shea butter moisturizer to moisturize it i don't use it in my hair cause it has mineral oil and i use my ORS sheen spray as well on my weave it also has mineral oil, i don't want my products to waste so i will try my best to find a way to use them, but so far this has been working well for me, the only thing is i don't want to put my hair in a ponytail everyday cause i don't want too damage my hair edges so i plan to buy a half wig, so keep checking my blog to see how that works out. Next time I post something its going to be about my wash days. One more thing the thing i love the most about my regime is most of my products contain castor oil and castor oil helps to thicken the hair which is one of my aims
