Protective styles!

This is going to be a post full of protective styles I'd like to do because as of Monday it's protective styles all the way! I need to go and get some rollers from the hair shop soon so i can do rollersers which I really want to do! Well ayway here we go

A one, a two, a one two three four:

Modern French Roll at the Dolce and Gabana show.

A HUGE Chignon (LOVE the Prada one)

If I clip the back up, leave a few strands hanging down should be good to go :D




The Results of my FIRST wash day


I've just finished moisturising and sealing and I have some pictures for you all to see the results of my first wash day! Please tell me what you think!


Overheard shot

Random view of half of the back of my head LOL
The ends

:]

Overall I think I'm happy with how my wash day went. Hopping in and out of the shower was no bundle of fun though, but I most be committed and prepared to freeze my cheeks off!

:]

Hey guys!

I'm currently sitting here typing with black tea in my hair under a conditioning cap that supposedly heats up using your body heat. Well it does feel pretty warm actually.

Right so this is what happened

I went in the shower and applied the shampoo. It was the first time in my life I've ever washed my hair in the shower. My hair felt so smooth! And then after that I patted my hair with a towel and applied the ApHogee 2 minute treatment. Then I washed myself for about 5 minutes and the washed it out. After THAT I put the black tea on my hair and here I am now. I'm planning to wash it out in 20 minutes and I'm mega excited to see how my hair feels!

I'll update when I'm sitting with the deep conditioner on my head ^.^

Plan B (Plan A's never work)

I didn't wash my hair tonight because it was just too late and I needed to leave the black tea to steep. I've been researching the ApHogee 2 minute reconstructor and how to use it. I'm thinking of using it tomorrow on my wash day as follows:

Shampoo (R)
ApHogee 2 minute Reconstructor (R)
Black tea rinse (R)
Deep condition (R)
Leave in
Moisturise
Seal

The (R) stands for 'Rinse'. So all in all I'm only going to end up leaving 3 products in my hair. I think that looks okay. It sounded much more confusing in my head. I'm hoping that it will be okay to do the black tea rinse after the reconstructor.

Going to go to bed now SO TIRED

Revised Product List

So as you now if you read my blog post down below this one, I had to revise my product list because most of the products I wanted, aren't to be found in the UK, and shipping fees are to expensive for me!

So without further ado:

ApHogee 2 Minute Reconstructor

Black Tea (For rinses!)
Herbal Essences Hello Hydration and Smooth and Soft conditioners for co-washes (Smelt the smooth and soft one in the supermarket and nearly died a happy death. It smells like...just...wow) They don't do the Long term relationship product in the UK :'(
Elasta qp creme conditioning shampoo. I haven't heard a SINGLE bad review. Not ONE BAD ONE!
Creme of Nature Moisture-Active Deep Conditioning Treatment with Jojoba and Olive oil.
Apparently this moisturisers like it's on a mission which is what I definitley need!
Coconut oil and Grapeseed Oil for sealing my hair after moisturising with....
Elasta QP Olive oil and Mango Butter Moisturiser. Meant to have lovely natural ingredients and be very moisturising! Can't wait to try it!


And that's the products I'm going to get on Friday! Please tell me what you think! Also I'm wondering how to wear my hair for night. At the moment I've been throwing on a satin scarf and going to bed but my edges are out of the scarf. I heard wrapping is not good for edges and stuff. And cross wrapping, wouldn't your hair break under the clips? Am I being to paranoid? Any ides anyone?!
