https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMHoczhsBX4 Back in the day Infusium 23 was my leave in of choice, there was always a bottle in my moms product cabinet and my hairdresser who I visited every Saturday always had it on her workstation as a permanent fixture for her clients. These days leave in conditioners are still popular and why not, they form the basis of your after-wash regimen. There is so much variety it is hard to sort through which are the best ones especially when you are just starting out on a healthy hair journey. With that said a little guidance, never hurt anybody, so here

Relaxed with Optimum No-Lye (as usual!). Added some olive oil (about 3 tbspns) to the relaxer mixture and now I have texlaxed roots. I like the thickness but I think next relaxer I'll skip the oil and just relax close to bone straight. I'm still BSL/MBL...I trimmed my ends while flat ironing by trimming off an inch or so off the very ends of each section...which clearly resulted in my hair not being perfectly even but it's okay! I'm still using the same products and techniques, for example here are my plans for this weekend's wash day: 1) Pre-poo/hot oil treat with oil (either evoo, evco or jbco) 2) Shampoo with Keracare Hydrating Detangling shampoo (sulfate free) 3) Deep condition w/ Optimum deep conditioning masque 4) Leave-in: Optimum Anti-breakage leave-in Strengthener (my Aphogee Green Tea Rstructurizer ran out so I'll be using this for now) 5) Moisturize and seal 6) Attempt a ponytail rollerset and bun all weekend Speaking of rollersetting I can't believe the challenge is already halfway completed! I'm looking forward to continuing to set about 2x per month. My hair is definitely getting the benefits of rollersetting. April is right around the corner. That means final exams! Please wish me luck. I've also been focused more on my overall health so I have some fitness goals for April as well. As for hair, I'm still aiming for waist length this year and if it takes me until December I don't mind :) To get there I'll focus on using heat less often and deep conditioning more. Oh! And I've been taking vitamins pretty consistently lately! - Nature's Bounty Adult multivitamin gummies - Nature's Bounty Your Life Multi Prenatal w/ Omega 3 - "Genuine Health o3mega" Omega-3 supplement Got the natures bounty from zellers (which is closing so get yourself some closing sales!). I've been taking these consistently for over a month and I haven't noticed any changes in my hair but I'll keep you posted. (PS - I take these for the body benefits not just for hair). I also drink at least one cup of Green tea every single day...no particular reason I just like it! But I heard it's good for you so that's a bonus too :) Here is one of my REAL LIFE HAIR INSPIRATIONS!! I'm soo excited to share this pic with you guys. She's a classmate I've known for 4yrs. She ALWAYS has her hair in a bun or twists when I saw her hair loose I had to snap a pic! My real life hair-spiration! <3 A little past waist length stretched. She used to be 100% natural 4a/b and I was shocked to find out that she texturized her hair recently! She doesn't have a regimen and is not even close to being hair obsessed. All she does is wear her hair in a bun like 95% of the time and uses Sulfur 8. I did a length check on her and it's past waist length stretched...gorgeous! Hope you all have a fabulous weekend :)

So, I relaxed like normal (application and smoothing 20-23 mins), then I neutralized. Right after neutralizing, I towel dried my wet hair for a bit and then I applied Olaplex No. 3 all throughout my hair, in sections, focusing more so on my roots (since it was just relaxed). I applied my plastic shower cap and left it on my strands for about 10-15 mins (no heat). As I was rinsing out my hair, I immediately noticed a difference. Typically after a relaxer, your cuticles still remain raised/open due to the high pH of the relaxer. This will make your hair feel a little rough, tangly and slightly dry. It's not until the deep conditioning phase that you notice the pH level of your hair goes down and you'll notice smoother hair as a result. Right after using Olaplex No.3, my cuticles were left smooth, flat, strong and any tangles; that I did have, quickly melted away with little manipulation. I literally had an "ah ha!" moment in the shower LOL. After rinsing out Olaplex No. 3, I proceeded with my sulfate free shampoo and deep conditioned as normal.

https://youtu.be/8wRbPxU9yjo From box braids to TWAs, no matter what hairstyle we pick, we all pay attention to one thing: our edges. The way our edges are brushed and styled can really make or break a hairstyle. Personally, I think there are very few things more frustrating than spending a large portion of my morning blowing out and flat ironing my hair only to have curly, frizzy edges hours later. For problems like these, we usually go straight to our handy dandy haircare products. Edge control will usually get the job done laying those baby hairs nice and smooth. Edge control
https://youtu.be/2S35IdybPT0 What's nape hair? It's the section of your head so infamous in the black community we have labeled as the kitchen. A bit of a weird one that, I've never understood why since everyone loves the kitchen. Well, in all accuracy we usually love what comes out of it: yummy cookies, cakes, stews, you know; sustenance. Why then have we named one of the most challenging areas of our hair after one of the most beloved rooms in our homes? Serious question, if you know why that is then leave it in the comments below.
