Dryness and Breakage: Shoulda KNOWN!


*Le Sigh*

Well, the inevitable has happened! My hair is BREAKING. About a week, before I did that TRAGIC quickweave, I dyed my hair Jet black using the Clairol. (I LOVE the jet black look) and me being 4 years post natural, should know better than to not deep condition afterwards. I just did Aussie Moist Conditioner and went on my way. 

Sooo, after that and the hair weave debacle, it's no wonder my daggone hair is frickin BREAKING and its soooo dry. Ugh! It feels sooo rough and nasty. My scalp also still has a good amount of buildup on it from those weeks of being in that weave AS WELL AS glue specks...

I Just want to cut it all off!!

But I can't blame it. I did it. 

So, now its time to get it back on track. 

Tomorrow, is gonna be a hair-a-thon. I'm going to Sally's Beauty. 

Getting As I Am Deep Intensive Moisturizing Masque and Cleanser (which I'll also be reviewing), Clairol Clear Semi-Permanent Rinse (for shine), haven't decided if I'm getting Kinky Curly Cleanser and Knot Today for a leave-in. And planning on creating a daily moisturizing spritz or something. 

Also, I'm going to be washing, dyeing, and flat ironing my baby sisters hair tomorrow.

So stay tuned for that!! 

Ugh...Quickweave FAIL!

Uggghhh!!!
And of course! 
So yea, I tried my first Quick Weave about two weeks ago, and let me tell you! I was ROCKIN’ it! It was in a short asymettrical bob…here’s a pic…
a pretty bad one, but all I got! LOL
So I used the 30 Second Salon Pro Quick Weave Mold, over TOP of previously molded EcoStyler gel hair. Dried it…did the quick weave thing…and ended up with the horribleness that you see here.
My hair type of VERY VERY fine, and I DEFINITELY should of did a protein treatment, as well as left my edges out for this, because as you can see, I have almost virtually NO EDGES. My heart was broken…
4 years it took to grow it back, all came crashing down in two  weeks…

BUUUTTT!! Where there’s a will there’s a way!
Insert Wild Hair Growth Oil…
Ok, so after browsing through my CurlyNikki app, I came across a thread about Wild Growth Hair Oil. Read reviews…and was DEFINTELY going to get it…so today I went ahead and grabbed it up at Sally’s. Its all natural and I cant wait to try it out. I’ll take a pic every week, and in two months I’ll do comparison picks. But, I’m not starting until Wednesday, being I just did a twistout last night, and I am not taking it out! LOL
Until then, I’m going to get on…the wig train again. I’m going to get two lace front wigs, and a couple half wigs. I just want to give my hair a rest, being I felt I lost a LOT of hair from the quick weave.
Oh and I”m not knocking quick weaves or anything. It just didn’t work for me. At least the molding thing didn’t.
So here’s to new beginnings…on everything! LOL
