End of Streching and relax day

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.

Weekend Away and Weeding

Hair Bonnet dryer

When doing my deep conditioner for mid-week or weekend, I always use the hood dryer unless I have to going out. I will wear some thing on top to cover it. Using the hood dryer has helped me tremendously. The only problem is that when I under the hood dryer, I can’t talk on the phone, can’t talk to or listing to anybody around me. Even I can’t watch the TV.
The noise from the hood dryer doesn’t make it possible , even though I reduce to the lower temperature. Until I saw on the website that you can also use the Hair Bonnet dryer while watching movies, listen to anybody… and this was only 9 sterling from a UK website, so I say why not.
I bought this, but what I didn’t know that you will have to connect this to hand dryer to have the heat. See some picture below. This is very annoying to me.
Here are the good and bad side of this tool

Good:
It made in way that you can travel it. You can fold it.
It is so small that you can put it inside your hand bag or any small bag.
You can be on the phone while taking care of your hair.
You can watch TV or listen to the radio .
Bad
The hand dryer to be use need to be small, as this is very small. Especially at the part where you put your hand dryer. This is may be the only annoying thing about that. My hand was so hot and sore after 10 minutes. I also think it is dangerous. I think I may need to buy a small hand dryer that can be connected.
This is plastic material, meaning it can be destroy easy.
Conclusion, I will keep this despite the connection issue. I will more use it when travelling or on emergency.

I would not the product to moisturise my whole head. I don’t even consider this to be a moisturise like other claim. I think it is leave in, but a very good leave in and that it.

I heard so much about this product line that I say to myself I have to try it, even for 2 sec. I must try it.
Just like one of those products that you have so much expectation.
I will talk about those two products as I have used them (Silk Touch Leave-In Cream and Deep Recovery Hair Mask)
When I use it first on dry hair, my hair felt like I didn’t put anything on that. So I add more, still nothing didn’t see any result. It seems to me like my hair was to strong for that. I don’t know how to explain. Imagine someone being sick and taking some medication to get better, but it doesn’t help. I hope you get me. So I waited until my wash day, after my hair was damp, I put some of that and it was better. I would say much better. Them I was happier.
Compare to the silk touch. I LOVE THIS. I think I came to understand that my hair like anything that it is creamy. This is due to the fact I am not bones straight relax and my hair type also. I don’t put that much and my hair is much happier. The container is perfect, easy to use. I really don’t mind putting my finger inside. I always clean my hand with soap after doing my hair because of my nails. (Also working on growing them) Another US product, so shipping issue. I use it as a deep conditioner, especially when my hair feels so dry. This is so rich and helps to get the moisture back in my hair. I usually put glycerine and Honey on all my deep condition but this is one I can go without them and my hair will be so soft after.

Elasta QP Mango Butter

This is what they say about the product: http://www.elastaqp.com/womenintensive.htm • Intensely rich thermal protecting treatment
• Penetrates, protects and remoisturizes, leaving hair strong and healthy
• Olive and coconut oils target dry ends and help prevent damage
• Shine-enhancing, non-greasy formula

My opinion and experience with this moisturizer
OMG, I love this stuff so much. It is sad that I can use it as much as I would because I am currently using Mega Tek on my Edge. As this is a moisturiser, but that containing some protein on it. (such as hydrolyzed silk) therefore I only use this for the rest of my head.
I used this few time on my hair and this is really good for coarse hair. I think this will be a very good moisturiser in winter, as it is so dry and this is very heavy one.

This is only my opinion, as I did some research on this products and notice that some may women of colour didn’t like it.
Some say that it didn’t do anything on that hair, so say that it makes their hair so dry, but I love this.
I don’t think it is very pricy but it is not easy to find, again here in Ireland, I buy 80 % of my products online. I LOVE the smell, it is credible. It had that Mango smell, huhu humy.
Very creamy, I also think my hair loves it. I am not relaxed bone straight; I think this will be a bit too heavy for bone straight relaxed hair. I love using this on my root after using Hollywood beauty Castor oil. The combination, keep my root so soft, moisturised. And sometime, I use just a little on my end.
