10 weeks post today!!! 2 more weeks to go! Ramble, Ramble, Ramble!

Today, I am 10 weeks post. I haven't been this long without a relaxer in a while. What would happen is that I would get between 6 to 8 weeks and feel obligated to relax. So, this is the first time this year that I have made it to 10 weeks. Yay, me! I am so happy. If you have been keeping up with my blog, I have decided that I will not relax my hair no sooner than 12 weeks. I would like to be able to tell what is NG and what is previously relaxed hair without difficulty. Unstretched, I believe that I have about 3/4 of an inch of NG. I have been consistently using my JBCO. My mother has slacked, and I believe that her hair is going to start slipping back because she isn't trying to take care of it anymore.

I haven't wrote a rambling post in a minute, so what has been new with me. Well, first I had purchased a few things from Sally's. One of these things being a drying bonnet that attaches to the hand dryer. #Fail The stupid thing would not stop coming off my head. It was a horrible investment: 12 dollars. So, I dug up my receipt and returned it. Instead of getting my money back, I decided to buy this industrial bottle of moisurizing shampoo that my stylist used on my hair. It smelt so good, and I wanted that salon hair feeling at home. So, I bought a huge container of Salon Care Almond and Honey Moisturizing Shampoo...10 bucks. I am going to try it for a month, and I will give a review on it some late December or early January.

I have also bought a container of Cantu Shea Butter Leave In conditioner. I used to use this product before, but I didn't have much success with it. Now that I am alittle more hair knowledgeable, I believe that I can work this in my regimen and achieve maximum results with this. I will do a review on how I incoporate this in my leave-in, moisturizer and baggy treatment. All of this will be in future reviews.

It has been five days since I have gotten my hair professionally done. My curls have fallen and they are looking kind of rough. I am actually going to refresh my hair in a few hours and I will have a separate post, showing before and after pictures. I am trying to keep this style up for two weeks total, so I have one week and two days to go.

I am also thinking of a few protective styles that I can do for an upcoming challenge at the beginning of the year. I have been putting alot of thought into it, because the likely hood of me using weave in my hair during this challeng is going to be slim. Also, because buns do not look flattering on me, the likelihood of me using them as a protective style EVER is even more slim. So, I have been thinking of a few things.

Well, I hope this hasn't been a boring post, but I rarely get to ramble. As you can see, my mind is all over the place.
OH! In about ten days, be on the look out for my relaxer prep wash day.
Also, then, I will see if my hair survived the rough detangling.

Well, Happy Hair Growing!!!
