Back in LOVE again.....

Okay, so after coming verrrrrrrry close to going back to the creamy crack (a relaxer/perm), I decided to change up my hair regimen & change conditioners. So one day, I decided to go to Walgreens and see what they had. I always heard of the Organix collection of shampoos and conditioners, and after standing there looking at them for about 20 minutes trying to decide which one I wanted to get, I settled for the Cherry Blossom & Ginseng, which smells HEAVENLY! I also decided to switch up my moisturizer and get an oldie, but goodie, the S-Curl Moisturizer originally for Jheri Curls, lol. (No, it doesn't give you a jheri curl, but it does moisturize your hair. They didn't call that hairstyle juicy for nothing, lol.) 

Later that evening, I gained enough courage and strength to handle the beast of tangles on my head and began to detangle my hair while dry (a major no-no. Detangle your hair while wet. I just didn't feel like it, lol), and gave myself a hot oil/butter treatment with Love, Nina~Natural Body Butters.  I proceeded with the shampoo which didn't lather very well, but it did cleanse my hair. And then I entered heaven. Babbbbby, when I tell you that conditioner worked WONDERS! As soon as I put it on my shampooed hair, I could feel a difference. I was so happy that my tangles slipped right out & hair didn't come out in balls. I put two of my infamous Walmart plastic bags on my head (lol), sat under a dryer for about 15-20 mins for a deep conditioning treatment, and then allowed the conditioner to stay on a few more hours while I worked. After rinsing it out, I moisturized with the S-Curl moisturizer, applied the Love,Nina~Natural Body Butter to it to seal it in, and then detangled a bit more with my shower comb & Denman brush. My hair is now 10 x's more stronger & moisturized just from that ONE change. I haven't washed it in almost 2 weeks and have barely had any hair to come out. I have fallen in love with my hair again and will continue using the products. Also, I started back taking my Biotin vitamins & hope to retain more length. Thank God for CHANGE, lol! 

The BEST combo ever (so far anyway, lol!)

Love, Nina~Natural Body Butter can also be used as a hot oil/butter treatment. Just scoop some out!

Melt it, being careful not to overheat

Ohhhh Lawd, here we go, lol!

THE BEAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

While the butter is melted, part hair & apply it to dry hair

Apply a shower/processing cap...and if you don't have one, get a plastic bag, lol! I sat under a dryer for about 20 mins & then allowed it to sit for a few more hours while I worked.

I shampooed my hair with the treatment on & it was really clean.....so I felt like singing. I think I was singing. "THAT IS WHAT HE'S (GOD'S) DONE FOR ME" By James Hall...lol! My jam!

This picture of my shower comb & Denman brush was after I began detangling....

While applying the conditioner, my tangles melted! I detangled with the comb & then the Denman brush. The Denman brush makes my curls clump beautifully together & detangles nicely with the help of the conditioner!

Beautiful!!!

One side done, one more to go. Look at the shrinkage!!! I allowed the conditioner to sit on for a while and then rinsed with cool water

After rinsing, I applied the S-Curl Moisturizer and then a bit of butter

I detangled again

Just me!

After the hot oil/butter treatment, shampoo, deep conditioner, moisturizer, & butter to seal, I twisted my hair up....and that's the END! I love how strong it was! Can't wait to do it again :-)
