Hey there hair
lovers, I’m back full-time now, I have my laptop back...
I digress, I left
off on my last hair trip in Micro-links, yes ya’ll Micro-links.
I purchased them with my own self’s money a
while back and waited till I could get help with the install. They were a
wonderful install but a pain to maintain. I suppose all weaves can be a pain to
maintain but, I thought that this one would be the best for me to do while I
was still in my growth process. While it kept me semi Heat free I did enjoy the
easy “bunning”. It was fun to just be able to do a bun without the hassle of a
donut/silk covered sock that I really enjoyed them and contemplated doing them
again.
There
were two issues that I had with the hair that I purchased. One the color I had
ordered a 2, which in hair is black brown, when I got the hair it was very
auburn and I had to color it. It took the color and matched my color with ease.
Number two: The hair was not in my hair texture. It was so smooth and silky
that I kind of ignored that it didn't really match my own texture. I have the
natural yaki straight texture but I got away with it just a bit on twist outs.
I did enjoy taking the links out, it was soooo very easy to take them out. I
just gently pressed them the opposite way that I was back to my neck length
hair in no time. *le sigh* I will no longer be seeking out the Micro-link hair extensions
well for one the cost is very high and I think I will do better with hiding my
hair till the winter is over with a nice U-part wig and a closure, or just the
wig.
Here’s
what the Micro-links looked like in a braid out.
Now
to my sew-in, so I had decided to get my hair in a sew in with an invisible
closure. I strongly disliked the closure. STRONG DISLIKE. It seemed cool at
first and then I went to shampoo my hair which I didn't like doing either. But I
enjoyed my braids my sister in law can braid her some hair. Check out the
pattern below.
I
had worn my hair like the above photo for a month now and it’s time to relax
but I think I will wait, just to be honest. I did a Growth Aid tonight and my
choice GA is Gro-Aut. The stuff works for me I will be 13 weeks post relaxer
and it was un-comfortable for a while. When I got it braided it was nice and I
of course I didn’t have to mess with my own hair except for days I oiled my
scalp in essence I will be hiding my hair until the New Year 2013. I just have
to get my hair game back together.
I
plan to relax 10/6/2012 which will be my 4th relaxer of the year.
WOW! I never noticed that all this hair loving I do. On that note, since I switched to the ORS
brand relaxer, I switched to a No-Base relaxer, what’s a No-Base relaxer you
ask? It’s a Lye base relaxer that is more gentle on the hair and does not need
to be mixed. It also has a longer shelf life than its yang the “no-lye”
relaxer. The No-lye relaxer is a harsher type of relaxer for the hair rather
than the scalp. So why did I choose to switch it up in the hair game, well one
reason was to gain thicker hair, I’ve always had thin hair from the first kit
relaxer my Mom applied to my head till last year. It’s gotten a lot healthier appearance
than before I plan on doing a couple of snapshots and posting them later.
My
plan for October is to get my hair plan in action, gather all my needs to that
I can proceed with the plan. I will be using my half wig this month as a whole
wig I will take photos of it once its dry from the co-wash I just gave it. It’s
got life again J
Hair
plan for November to January:
1. Purchase Hair (Brazilian Hair in lengths 12, 14
and 16) I’ve been looking for some very reasonable sellers and I think I found
one.
2. Purchase a closure
I have all the
needed items to create the u-part wig of my desire and will be using clips
instead of sewing it to my braided hair. That way I can take off the wig and
care for my hair and re-braid if I need to. Well I think that is all the
Shenanigans I have been up to with my hair for the past two months and I will
not stay away so long next time. In fact I will make blogging a habit. I do not
Youtube and I love Instagram, catch me there chelle2707 and until next time…
Happy healthy hair
trip
Xoxo
