TRIMMED & DUSTED

I trimmed and dusted my hair this morning. While doing seek and destroys, I found only a few split ends, which was reassuring.

Since visiting Reflexion 2 on Monday (June 6th), my hair has looked surprisingly good. It didn't look as shitty as it usually does when I go there. I believe it is because I took a protein conditioner (Kid's Organic) with me. From now on, I will always take both my protein and silicon mix bambu cons with me.

I continue to use my self-made BT mix about twice a week and my NG is kicking in. The goal remains to get to full APL by xmas/December and be full BSL by June 2012. I will not allow anyone to trim my hair until January or February 2012 and will go to Minia's Greenbelt salon for a trim and long layers in the back once I reach APL.

HAIR UPDATE: JUNE 2011

It's been almost 3 weeks since my last relaxer and I have only washed my hair twice. Naughty, I know. However, my hair is looking healthier after my last wash and condition. I washed with Castille soap, followed up with Aphogee 2-min reconstructor con and then left my moisturizing con in my hair for about 2 hours. After washing it out, my hair felt a little mushy so I ran Aphogee through my hair and immediately rinsed it out.

It has been a week and two days and my hair is STRONG. Any shedding has been reasonable and i have been using my growth aid. I have NG, but nothing spectacular. I am still worried about my see-through ends, though and the left side of my hair seems to have broken some more. (I was lying on Hubby without a scarf, I might have broken my hair then).

I still believe that my hair looks good. I keep it in a tucked-in ponytail or under a wig when need be. I also make sure to moisturize every other day or every day if necessary and use my growth aid frequently.

I will go to the salon on Sunday for a wash and DC. I will take my KO protein con and ask that they put it in and then use my newly purchased silicon bambu. I will have to buy another Aphogee bottle, but probably not until after my next relaxer which should take place at the end of July.

So far, so good, thanks be to God.
