HAIR FOR PARTY
I have decided that i will do a shikamla rinse on Saturday morning. Then, I will leave DPR-11 on for 30 minutes.
Once rinsed, I will let my hair airdry and go purchase the alcohol for the party. When i get home, I will put my damp hair in rollers and leave it to dry. Before roller setting, I will only apply my moisture spray, some KODL and mango butter on my ends.
Once the hair dries, I will seal and put my hair in pin curls and then wrap in saran wrap.
After that, I will remove it after an hour, comb out my hair, straighten my roots (apply CHI spray) and keep it moving.
Hope it works.

MY HAIR IS DRY
I think the weather change is messing with my hair. It is very dry all of a sudden. In fact, after my ayurvedic rinses last week, my hair ended up very dry.
On Sunday, I did a henna treatment and left it in for approximately 3/4 hours, then I slept with my DPR-11. When i rinsed in the morning, my hair felt very mushy, so I used VO5 champagne kisses and then applied a little of TE's protein conditioner. My hair felt better but once it dried, it felt very hard and there was quite a bit of shedding.
So, last night, I prepood with coconut oil. Then, this morning I shampood with Suave Tropical conditioner, then used my VO5 conditioner. My hair felt better and once dried, I combed out my knots, applied my potions and then wrapped my hair. It definitely feels softer, but I am not back to the softness level I prefer.
I would like to get a relaxer but right now, money is tight. So, my goal is to continue to keep my hair and NG moisturized.

JAMAICA HAIR!
I am back from Jamaica and the first thing I did after a good night's sleep was wash my hair!!! Since i didn't get a relaxer, and I didn't have time to wash my hair before leaving, so by the time I got back, my hair was an ugly mess!
Anyway, after washing it out today, it looks and feels much better. But I am now 18 weeks post and truly considering getting a relaxer. If I get a relaxer at the end of October, by the time we return from Costa Rica, I would be about 8 weeks post with 1" of NG, hopefully.
I will see how my hair behaves over the course of the next 2 weeks and will only then determine whether a relaxer is necessary.

NO RELAXER FOR ME
After talking t o my girl, Mariama, I realize that the solution to my dilemma is simple. I will straighten my hair myself!
It saves money, provides the styling I want and won't force me to cut my stretching period.
Ah, thank God for good friends.
Thus, today, I will do an ayurvedic rinse, apply some MT, and the leave on some DPR-11 for about 30 minutes and leave my hair to airdry.
Afterward, i will go to the fym and upon my return, I will blowdry and flat iron.
Woo hoo!!!
But I must get a thermal protecting spray first!

RELAX OR BLOW OUT?
That is the question.
I could get a blow out. That way, I don't relax, continue growing and don't spend $80.
I could get a relaxer. Then I wouldn't have to get my hair done again for PG's engagement party and that would save me about $55 - $60.
My reason for not getting a blow out is that I fear the weather in Jamaica will cause my hair to frizz and my roots to get gangsta. That would not be cute at all.
My reason for not getting a relaxer is that I wanted to wait until December, by which time I would be 26 or 27 weeks post with at least 3 inches of NG.
However, i could get a relaxer and simply continue doing what I am doing and just enjoy less shedding and breakage from the demarcation line and keep it moving.I think my hair will continue growing and the fresh perm will be nice for a change.
AHHHHHH!!!!

DENMAN BRUSH UPDATE
Incredible!!!!!
I am detangling to prep for creamy crack day and I cannot believe how much easier my NG is to comb!
I started by oiling my scalp with the Castor Oil pomade and then I sprayed my NG in sections then combed with the Jilbere comb. I then ran the brush through. Thee was a lot of shed and broken hair, though. However, if that will limit the breakage I experience at the salon, I 'll be very happy.
Hence, the Denman brush is a keeper. This I Swear!

DENMAN D3 BRUSH
I bought a Denman D3 brush at Sally's Beauty Supply store on Tuesday for $6.99.
I have heard ladies rave about this brush and how good it is for detangling 4b type hair. I tried it and it works okay but, I do not spend a lot of time detangling my NG and I already have a boar tooth brush that I do not use.
The Denman Brush dould prove useful for those times when I choose to straighten my hair. When my hair is past 16 weeks post, my NG becomes difficult and when it is time to straighten, it takes forever to comb through the tangles and then apply heat.
Anyway, as I never use a brush, and as I hardly ever use heat (only twice since my June relaxer, so far), I do not think that the Denman brush is worth the money. I will use it tomorrow after I wash my hari and see if it is any good while my hair is wet and semi-dry. If it doesn't impress me, it will simply go back to Sally's this weekend.
