Well, this stretching period wasn't a good one. My hair has been so dry and as a result I think I may have suffered from breakage which isn't good at all so I'm gonna have to tighten up on my moisture balance. I think switching my moisturizers was a bad ideal...I was using Herbal Essence Long Term Relationship but I don't think it's great for moisturizing new growth. My new growth is usually managable but not this time. I miss my S-Curl so bad my roots weren't as moisturize like it usually is. The S-curl makes my new growth so shiny and soft and manageable so I got paid today and when I go to the beauty supply store to get my tools to relax my hair tonight I'm getting the S-Curl. Also I ran out of Castor oil and Olive Oil so I have to get more of that and also I need another Moisturizing Conditioner I was using Queen Helene but I may use the Cream of Nature brand. I see now that my hair still needs more moisture than protien....I will still alernate between the moisture and protien levels so I won't get an overload of both. I am still searching for a new leave in....The Garnier Frutis is ok but it makes my hair wet and leaves my hair feel residue-y like I don't know so until I buy the all ingredients for the Kimmaytube Leave-In I will stick to my Elasta QP leave-in. So I had to get that out cause my hair is in a ponytail and it's a big frizzball I am so disappointed I hope this next stretch will be better.
And futher along with that my protectuve styles weren't as great either. I have been wearing either a bun or a drawstring ponytail that my husband hates. And to be honest I really don't like it anymore either...So I have been doing some research on Hairlista, Youtube, Google, and a few blogs to get some ideals on how to keep my hair looking good but still be protected. I have found some channels on youtube that I've subscribed to and they have a gift with styling their hair. I don't have it yet it'd gonna take me a while but I'm not giving up. And I also have some friends and family members who would love to do my hair for me lol (Tamika & Shamika no relation). And when I stretching I think cornrows & twists will be my bestfriends so I won't have to worry about my edges. I'm practicing on how to cornrow and twist so me styling it on my own right now isn't a first option. I am considering adding half wigs and sew-ins to my protective styles as well. I'm a little nervous about this cause I never owned a wig before and I hate the fake shiny look with wigs as well. Ponytails will still be my staple but I think I won't limit myself to just using drawstrings and I am also considering making my own clip on extensions because I refuse to pay $100 for any and I don't like using glue either. So I'm adding extensions. My husband doesn't really care for weave and honestly neither do I but with being shoulder length it's not really easy to keep up with and also that length is the most vurnerable because it right at your shoulders of course duh lol. But anywho your ends are rubbing against your clothes and causing friction which will cause split ends and breakage so I'm coming up with some simple styles like for church and work and for concerts so my hair will be straight and safe during this time until I reach APL and I'll have more liberty.
