Product RAVE!!! "Amala Cream Rinse"

"Amala Cream Rinse" By Hairveda.... Well for starters I made my first purchase from hairveda.com over two months ago and I actually never ordered "Amala Cream Rinse" but some other products. Somehow I recieved this product in error. Well I contacted customer service who told me to just go ahead and keep it. Ladies, let me tell you, I would have never ordered this product because I just didn't need it. Conditioners and moisturizers excite me, but I never stray too away far from my "CON" shampoo. Anyway, like I said, I never ordered it and wasn't even really excited about getting a free product because it simply didn't interest me. Well about 2-3 weeks after having it I finally used it to cowash my hair. Ladies....let me tell you I LOVE it! It is very mild but I can tell that it truly removes residue from my hair without any stripping AT ALL. Imagine that. I can't really explain it but I'll say it has no special smell, it doesn't make my hair super soft, nor does it have any great slip to it, yet I just can't get enough of it. I feel like it does exactly what it's supposed to do without any extra fuss. Of course I use (and you should too) a conditioner afterwards. This is not a conditioner so don't purchase it with hopes of it transforming your kinks to soft waves. This is not what it does. All I can say is that I HIGHLY recommend it for cleaning your hair and scalp.

Scab hair

Ok, so if you pay attention to the newest hair growth in the front of my hair (see picture in previous post), you know, the "dreaded" stubborn hair that won't do what I tell it, well anyway, I think the new growth is more curly and similar in texture to the rest of my hair. I guess it was scab hair. In case you don't know what that is here's a definition I've borrowed from Motowngirl.com
"scab hair- The hair directly underneath the scalp that has been affected by the harsh chemicals. Even though the hair is newgrowth it isn't "trained" to behave in it's natural state. The hair is still sort of straight, very dry and brittle. It usually takes somewhere around 6 months to completely grow out. Not eveyone experiences scab hair. The longer a person was relaxed the more likely they are to be affected."
I sometimes wish I had transitioned for about 5-6 months and then cut my hair down to about 1" and bypassed the scab hair. I say that because that scab hair was no joke to deal with during my teeny weeny afro stage. With that said, I still have enjoyed each stage of growth and I can't wait to take these kinky twists out and play with my hair again.

I'm back....

..After what seems like forever. I have so many things to share with you guys but I'll try to split it up over a couple of different posts. So, the first thing to tell you is that I recently passed my 6 month BC anniversary!!! I thought about posting that day but...well that's another story. When the BC anniversary came around I was trying to decide whether to really call that my natural anniversary or the date of my last relaxer. After thinking about it I've decided to call my actual natural anniversary the day of my last relaxer; March 22. Still 6 months since my BC is a great accomplishment and my hair has really grown. I'm LOVIN' it.
Next on the agenda I guess I'd better give you an updated picture. The pictures below are of a washngo. I used some new products that I'm really excited about but I'll tell you about those later.

Ok so the last update I'm going to pack into this one post is something that I am so super duper excited about! I finally did kinky twists on my own hair. I think they turned out beautifully. Especially considering that this is my 4th time doing them and the 1st time on my own hair. I used color 1B/350 and "Janet Collection" hair. I hope to give several more posts real soon.

This was a good hair day

So this picture was actually taken about a month ago at my DD's birthday party. After looking at the pictures I was like,"man my hair looked good that day". Lol. Whatever I did that day must have worked.
