Last Wash Day With My Senegalese Twists!

I promise I'm like a kid in a candy store right now! I seriously have been missing my hair sooooooo much! The plan is to remove my Senegalese twists on Friday/Saturday. It totally depends on if the boo and I decide to go see The Best Man Holiday :) Either way I knew that my scalp needed one more good washing before I removed my senegalese twists. Because Jillian (as in Jillian Michaels) and I have been working out heavily together my new growth was super dry from sweating. The last thing I want when taking down a long term protective style is dry crunchy new growth...can we say breakage city?! So in order to combat this issue I used my normal braid washing routine, which you can check out here and here. Of course I reached for my beloved Shea Moisture Retention Shampoo to get the job done. What I love about this Shampoo is that it gets my hair squeaky clean while leaving my hair super soft and moisturized! Because I am removing the install this weekend and have a MEGA deep conditioning session planned I skipped conditioning my hair today.  Instead after drying my hair under my awesome Salon Hooded dryer (Shout out to EbonyCPrincess and her Protective Styling Challenge!) I settled for my Giovanni Direct Leave In. I moisturized my new growth thoroughly with my Giovanni and then sealed with a mixture of Castor & grapeseed oil. I can't even begin to describe how soft and moisturized my new growth is! As for the length of my hair, I will spritz it with my braid spray daily. The countdown to removing my braid install begins!

Bed, Bath, & Beyond's Health and Beauty Section!!!

So I am so excited to share what I discovered today in Bed Bath and Beyond today!!! Lately when reading some of my favorite beauty blogs I keep seeing people mention that they've spotted some of the latest and greatest makeup items in Bed Bath and Beyond. Who would've thought! Well I happened to be near one today and out of curiosity decided to check out the health and beauty section. Y'all I was blown away! Not only does Bed, Bath, and Beyond have a great makeup section, but they have a HUGE Hair product section! AND to make it EVEN better they also have their own generic brand called Harmon Face Value of some of the top product such as Paul Mitchell's 'The Detangler' and Matrix Biolage's 'Detangling Solution'. To top all of this off if you are signed up to receive Bed Bath and Beyond's coupons like I am we are talking about HUGE savings here! I also noticed that the prices seem to be better than Walmart or Target. Oh and did I mention that Bed Bath and Beyond accepts any competitors coupons! I was so mesmerized that I had to take a few pictures!

Hairfinity Craze?

I'm wondering if I'm the only person who's noticed the Hairfinity craze as of lately. I've known about Hairfinity for a few years, but I don't recall seeing the amount of Celebrity endorsements for the product that I see now! So far I've seen endorsements from Keshia Knight Pulliam (The Cosby's), Rasheeda (LHHATL), Porsha Stewart (RHOA), and Toya Carter (Tiny & Toya). I've read all about the product however, the $24 per bottle (for a 1 month supply) has always made me hesitate about ordering the product. Either way the product seems to do what is says as I've seen both celebrities as well as friends and associates praise this product! So I've said all of to ask y'alls opinion because I'm curious. Have you all tried this product (or would you be willing to try it) and if so how did you like it?

Totally Twisted (Part 3) | How To Wash Your Braids

So I'm super excited to be posting part 3 of my braid series! In this video I break down my wash day process for braids!  Time and time again women always tell me that they forgo washing their braids for fear of messing them up or because they believe that a dirty scalp promotes growth (no no)! I am here to show those who may be unsure of how to go about washing their braids that it can be done and is fairly simple! Enjoy :)

November Goals!

So I totally haven't done monthly goals in so long! It's not that I haven't had any personal goals, but out of sheer laziness I stopped documenting them. Well today that ends! Please note that because I am not removing my braid install until the middle of November there won't be many hair goals included! Here are my goals for the month of November!




1. Massage JBCO mixed with grapeseed oil into my scalp every 1-2 days. My scalp and new growth love this combination!

2.  Successfully remove my braid install.

3. Do an egg protein treatment

4. Complete my Jillian Michael's 30 day shred program. I'm on day 11!

5. Lose 5 lbs. I've been focused on healthier eating and would like to continue.

I'm feeling confident that I can achieve these goals and am super excited. I feel that by sharing my goals with you all it will help keep me on track :)
