PLAN AFTER TEX RELAX, HAIR JOURNEY PART 3

One day before my relax day, my head was itchy so so bad, I don’t know. It was crazy. Thanks to Traycee  from KISS for the advice. That was really helpful. Ok, let talk what I a planning for the next 3 months. This may change as my hair react.
I notice few things and came up to a concluding. I will have to double the hard work spend more time to study / listen to my hair and really understand that.
I know that I am already working hard, but I will need to OVERTIME lol,, so I can get better pay, let think this way. So here are some goals that I set to myself. They are not in order,
Both sides for my edges: They have to be full by the end of the year. No necessary long, but I want them to look full.
Nappy area. It is very coarse, but also a bit shorter. It is better then it was few months ago, but still believe it should look way better and longer.
Notice also that my left end side is shorter then the right hand side. So, need to work on that. I want even length. Funny, because after the perm, both side kind of look the same. ( it could be my imagination )
So check out my next blog, to see my planning for the next 3 months.

Mega Tek Updated

I don’t see any result on the use of Mega Tek. I don’t know if it is too early to conclude or not.I also start using Jamaican Black Castor oil, peppermint and rosemary oil on my scalp and my edge. About 2 weeks ago. Funny, but my hope are more on the Jamaican Black Castor oil, peppermint and rosemary oil mix then the Mega Tek . I will continue using the mega Tek until I finish the bottle, but I will not repurchase this or recommend to someone. Lol ...we never know thing may change in the next months, considering the stage of my edges.

I will also keep you update on the Jamaican Black Castor oil, peppermint and rosemary mix.

Check out the picture before  ( left one )Mega Tek and after ( right one ) what do you think?

I think I just need to be patient, as I really damaged those my edges over the years.

My hair Journey updated

Just a quick update on my Hair journey.

Last weekend , I decide to comb my hair, as you know I only finger comb my hair. I am hoping to that I can hit Shoulder length ( SL )by June .
I must say, I am really proud of myself. My hair look so so healthy. It is so full.
I notice some length, but no much as my hair is full. I bought few products, which I will put, some picture soon and tell the reason why I bought those products. I hope those products will help me retain length to I can hit SL by June 2010.
Stay Bless, Jocelyne

Thin Edges

I really hate the look of my edge. It is so thin, full of bald patch ( I HATE IT SO MUCH, BUT HAVE TO DO SOMETHING). I have been thinking about this for so long and need to make some resolution.

My edges are one of the main reason I have started this hair journey. So, I did some research, read here and there.

I can to conclusion, I will try Mega Tek product.

This product is supposed to be very good if you need to make your hair thicker. Some people have seen result after 3 weeks.
I also find out that this is a protein treatment, which means I will have to increase my intake of moisturizing and conditioner.
I will only use these edges, as this product is very strong, full of protein.
I am planning to mix it with Castor oil, Coconut oil, Aloe Vera Gel, Peppermint, and Jojoba oil.
love  Jocelyne
 

My Hair Regimen

First I would like to say to thanks to the following people:
They have been such an inspiration to me.
Here are the name :
-Sunshyne : when I first saw her video on Youtube, I was amazed and still amazed. I couldn’t believe that. So Beautiful, love your hair.

-Traycee : When I first saw that hair, I went OMG. Until today I am still under the same emotion. She is really blessed.
-Felicia G : Just couldn’t believe it. Her hair is so beautiful.
-Lovelyti2002 : I saw all her pictures , videos .
So I say to myself, if they can grow their hairs, I can do it also. I will also try to grow my hair and make some efforts, sacrifices and make some investments. Like you all know products will play a major role on this journey.
I am still growing my hair, but I strongly believe that it will grow it and get healthier.
Daily Routing (Morning and Night) Morning:
I moisturize my hair every morning with (Wave Nouveau Finishing Lotion) , spray my hair with a leave in and seal it with my mix oil or any of my favourite oil.
Night: I moisturize my hair every night with (ORS Hair Fertilizer, ORS Carrot oil, ORS Olive oil), spray my leave in and seal with hair my mix oil or any of my favourite oil.
Because my edges are seriously damaged, I use (Castor oil, ORS Hair Fertilizing Serum, Aloe Vera gel). These AIDS will promote the grown.
Random Stuffs that I do to my hair, but very they are very important.
-I try to baggy my whole hair overnight every time I fell my hair need more moisture. This is also great for split end prevention.
- I massage my scalp at least 2 twice a week.
- Hot oil treatment at least 2 twice a month (pick any of my oil)
Weekly Routing Wednesday and Saturday or when I am lazy Thursday and Sunday
I CO-WASH with one of my Herbal essence or Aussie 3 minutes (I mix with my mix oil, with a plastic cap with or without heat. Leave in on for about 15 to 20 minutes after that I condition my hair. )
When I don’t have any of those cheap conditioner such as Herbal essence or Aussie 3 minutes , I will use my mix oil , honey and mayonnaise.
CONDITIONER (with plastic cap and under the hood dryer leave it for 1 hour) As I am still trying to find which condition is best for my hair, I usually pick one or two conditioner. I will always add the following:
- 1 ts of Molasses ( this is great to fight shedding )
- 1 ts of Honey
- 1 ts of my mix oil
- And sometime I will add some garlic from my kitchen to it.
SHAMPOO :Currently, I would say I don’t have a shampoo. But I am using ACV once a month. I usually use the last weekend of each month. From time to time, I use the “ Dr Miracle Tingling 2 in 1 Dandruff Shampoo & Conditioner “. I am planning to buy more products by march so I will see which one will suit me best.
LEAVE IN :I don’t have a leave in either and I am not really planning to buy one. lol
I made my own mix about 2 months ago and I have to say, I am happy with it. Again we will see the result after my first relax (March 2010) since I am in my Hair Journey (July 2009).
My leave in is made of 100 % natural products which is great.
Here is my Leave mix: - About 80 % of water - 2 ts of Aloe Vera Juice - 3 ts of Castor Oil - 2 ts of each of the following ( Alma Oil, Jojoba Oil, Vatika Oil , Do Groo Oil, Grapeseed oil, Almond oil, Olive oil, Avocado oil , tea tree oil, Vitamin E. - 5-6 drops of essential oil ( Peppermint oil, Sage oil, lavender, cedarwood, ylang ylang)
RELAXER: This is the longest stretch I have done in my life because I wanted to bring back some health into my hair. As, I believe my hair has damaged a lot over the years. This is due to the relaxing, braiding and weave and also I think I neglected my hair over the years.
Going forward, I am planning to relax every 3 -4 months. It will depend on how my hair will grow. August 2009 March 2010 July 2010 November 2010
TRIM: I am planning to trim every 3-4 months. I will depend on the need and condition of my end. I think every time I relax, I will trim it. August 2009 October 2009 March 2010 July 2010 November 2010•
Tip: Avoid heat. This stuff is very bad for your hair. I have not been using heat for the past “6 months “.I am so proud of myself. I really hope this will pay.
• Drink plenty water. This is not only good for you hair, but your skin and also your whole body.
• Moisturize your hair. Moisturize your hair at least once a day. You will see different.
• Low manipulation. This is help maintaining your length. Our hair grown, but it also breaks a lot. So lot manipulation it is very important. I have not been combing my hair for the past 4 months. I use my finger and this is great. I will post more picture how I protect my hair.
• Protect your hair at night , especially if you have damage edge like me .
• Remember consistency is very important •
Please let me know what I am missing. More tip to come, please check it out....
Mix oils:- Alma Oil, Jojoba Oil, Vatika Oil , Do Gro Oil, Grapeseed oil, Almond oil, Olive oil, Avocado oil , tea tree oil, Castor Oil, Pure coconut oil, Peppermint oil, Sage oil, lavender, cedarwood, ylang ylang
Goals: -SL: by June 2010
- APL: December 2010 …..
We will see after this. I am just trying to be realist.
Have a nice one....

My hair Journey updated

I started my hair journey in July 15th 2009. I would say my hair has always been quite healthy in the past, but I never past SL (Shoulder length). You will say “Well if you hair was been so healthy, then why did u not past SL. I have no idea… In July 2009, I have decided to take care of my hair and give myself a challenge to see how long I can grow my hair. This journey will last 2 years and I will see after that.
