Relaxer #2

So I got my relaxer on the 23rd. I went to the same hairdresser that did my last relaxer because I loved the results and I hate changing hairdressers.

So the Sunday before I got my relaxer, which was the 17th I think, I did my pre-relaxer wash day. I used my ORS Aloe shampoo to remove all the product buildup then I did a a protein treatment with my ORS Hair mayo conditioner. I like to clarify and do my protein treatment on the same wash day, no real reason. My hair felt strong but not too hard after the protein treatment so I was pleased with that. I then followed up with Beautiful Textures Rapid Repair Deep conditioner to add the moisture back into my hair. Then tshirt dry for about 10 minute then add used my cantu shea butter leave-in and sealed with grapeseed oil. My hair felt ready for the relaxer.

I did not get a trim this relaxer because I felt my ends looked fine but I did dust a little. The picture on the left is my hair on Nov. 9th 2012 and the picture on the right is my hair on Feb. 23th 2013. My stretch was about 16 weeks.  I think I retained a good amount of length. Want to claim BSL but idk know yet. My next relaxer will be in May around the 24th because that is my Bday and of course I want to look fly for my bday lmao!!! See yall next post!!!! HHJ

Product Review: Color Me Happy Conditioner From Herbal Essence

Ok so I am very late with this post and I dont know why cause I am not really that busy. But I am sorry. So first I want to start with a short product review about Herbal Essence Color Me Happy. I picked up this conditioner from walmart as you guys saw in one of my past Hair Hauls. I love the Hello Hydration conditioner so I wanted to try some other Herbal Essence conditioners.

Color Me Happy conditioner is thick just like the Hello Hydration Conditioner. I love thick products because I feel they moisturize and penetrate my hair better than runny conditioners. The color of this conditioner is red and the smell is WONDERFUL. I think that is one of the best things about this conditioner. I am bad at comparing smelling but just know that it smells good lol!!!!

Must of the time I used this conditioner as a "smoothing" conditioner after I do my tea rinses. Tea rinses make my hair feel stiff so I would put some of the Color Me Happy conditioner in my hair for a couple minutes and it would help to soften up my hair. This conditioner is a surface conditioner which means that works mainly on the suface of the hair shaft, so it does not penetrate the hair shaft as well as a deep conditioner would.

Other than using this conditioner as a "smoothing" conditioner I also used it as a pre-poo. I would mix it with a couple different oils of my choice and place it all over my hair. I usually let the pre-poo mixture sit on my hair for about an hour. This conditioner worked great as a pre-poo.

All in all I really did like this conditioner but when compared to the Hello Hydration it is not as moisturizing so I would have to say that the Hello Hydration is a better conditioner. The only thing better is the smell, I liked the smell of Color Me Happy better than Hello Hydration. So if you guys like the Hello Hydration and would like to try another surface conditioner I would say this is a good pick. I am now trying the Body Envy conditioner.

See you guys in my next post!!!

Just a quickie!!!

So I have been away for a while and I am sorry. But I have not be doing anything new with my hair. I have been using the same products on my hair because I want to use up the old products before buying new ones.

But I will be getting a relaxer toward the end of the month so I can not wait to see if I have retained any length. Hopefully I am fully BSL by then!!!!
