Results....

Today I relax, well texlax...
I spent most of my day running around town. But I relaxed tonight well, texlax.
I'll inform you briefly about texlaxing. Its basically not smoothing the hair and having the chemical on for a long period of time. You shorten your process and you don't smooth out the hair.
I had a lot of control this time with application, why? Because I actually used an applicator brush. For the longest I would use the mixing stick and had no control. I can hear you now, what the what???? 
This time I had much more control than usual. I smoothed out my edges and did no other manipulation.
I did a mid protein after the rinse of the relaxer, which boosted my hair strength and I could feel difference. The Mid Protein was a ORS Replenishing Pak. now mind you I just did a heavy protein, Aphogee 2-step, before I relaxed, so I got my protein and it has been really good so far, it was really dry after the Aphogee 2-step so afterwards I did do a Deep conditioners and M/S'd before bed.. Shampoo neutralized four times and did a quick Roux for porosity control.
My hair felt great! There was no burn during my short process and I did "base" my scalp and hair. What's that mean, "base"? When base your scalp you add a layer of protection to your head, skin and hair. You do this so there is no over processing. All good things.
I even was able to stand a deep condition under the hooded dryer, mine is one of the portable ones. It works though. I looked at my hair after all this process and it still looked bone straight at the root
So I mositurized and during this stage of the damp hair setting, I realized that my hair was longer on one side than the other.
*sigh* that's from my failed attempt to trimm my ends. I don't like scissors because I can't see them all around, my fault but it will grow.
I did recieve my Splitender in the mail so I will trim the ends, next day. (the picture you see of the hair clipped are after the trimming of the ends)


I had a hard time just getting adjusted to the relaxer portion, I do believe the breakage I was having was to due to the long stretch, this is my lesson, DO NOT STRETCH TOO LONG.
This next stretch I will only go 9 weeks and we'll see what happens

I hope to be able to gain a moisture balance and keep my hair habit to maximum I really would like to have healthier hair as well as a healthy me Xoxo Chelleshock32 Hope you enjoy the pictures :D

March Goals...

Here is my list of accountability for the Month of March:

1. Moisturize and Seal every night.
2. Take Biotin twice a day
3. Wear hair up (mostly french rolls cause my hair is shorter now)
4. Scalp Massages with Grape Seed Oil for 10 minutes a night
5. Co-Wash, Co-Wash, Co-Wash... That's three Co-Washes per week, since I started working out more

I drink four 16.9 oz bottles of water a day so I'm not worried about water intake and already take a Multi-Vitamin. lets hope for great goal reaching this month...

I'll be posting these every month and giving results each new month


Here's to Healthier Hair c:   Chelleshock32

Product/Tool Review: Tangle Teezer

The tool is basically just that, it takes out the tangles in the hair. Like i said in my welcome message, I'm no hair guru.


This is the one that I have. I have to say that I actually really love this tool in my new arsenal of hair tools. I have currently a Sew-in, as i mentioned in my welcome message last night, I was untangling the hair I have sewn-in. I was at a loss when i found out that I have a kanekalon, but rather the chemical that the hair is coated in. I washed it in the shower as recommended by the hair goddesses. (ulovemegz, EbonyCprincess and Buildablebeauty) I even did twist in the wet wavy remy that I had installed, however, one day down when sleeping is when the snarle begin.

Ok, so I've had a couple of sew-in's before, I've even manged two months at maximum, but this time I was completely irritated by it. I don't know if its the actual hair that i have or my lack of weave care knowledge, I ran to YouTube to learn more about what I should be doing to care for my hair. When I say this I mean it, i'm a complete hair novice, yes I'll admit I'm a hair novice. My hair weaves were always tangled up to the point where I was no longer loving my curly-cue hair or waves. I really wanted to take every last one of the sew-in's that I've had down after the first week. So why do this again you ask? to challenge my self and my relaxer stretch.

So I let the hair get tangled beyond recognition, well not that bad, but bad enough to drive someone crazy that knows better. After my wash I slept on my hair un-wrapped and un-twisted. for the hair novice, those are huge and I mean HUGE MISTAKES TO DO WITH A SEW-IN. After two days I went about life and realized that my hair was horrible no matter how much finger combing I was doing it still had horrible tangles.

I then remembered all my trips to Sally's Beauty Supply and the Tangle Teaser, I initially bought this tool to help with my daughters natural hair when de-tangling her hair after washes.and you know natural hair can be unruly at times. I had still had not used it on her hair, I reached for the Tangle Teezer that I bought in one of the many bags I had in my bathroom. I embarked on un-traveled territory with the rescue of my sew-in and attempt to rescue it from the tangles and try to not cut out the knots.

I was brushing in my hand and it then took the knot and tangle out completely! I was way too excited about it and then went on to doing the worse section, the nape of the sew-in, it took all but one knot out I had to cut it. However, the Tangle Teezer is going to be a staple in my household to rescue hair tangles and tragedies. Would I recommend this tool to others. Yes. Why? because it really does what was intended to do, if you have long hair or APL (arm pit length) hair that gets unruly or if you let it go one day from being lazy, you will need this to help out and maintain the hair.

And its kept me from taking down my sew-in after the first week of hair hardship :)

First of all let me say, Welcome!



I'm not a guru of hair nor am I trying to become one, but I'm making this blog for accountability. That being said I can take all comments about hair and products, and that's because I'm a product junkie. What can I say? I'm fresh starting out on this walk.

So, let me give you a bit of background. I have been relaxing since I was 6 or 7 years old and I practically begged my Mom to get a PCJ (Pressing Comb in a Jar). I never appreciated kinky curls until later in life when I started to learn hair and the different styles.

I loved to change up my tresses mostly to fit iin or be on the popular kids list of friends. No, I was by far one of those popular kids. However I was cool with almost everyone I met.
I met a group of girls with what people call "good hair", let's face it we all have met those groups of girls and they often questioned me about my hair and what types of care I did on the daily. I envied them, they had hair they didn't have to do anything to but wash and go, oh and the occassional flat iron. I had to work my hair.

I never had a hair regimine or schedule my Mom took care of that for me. Until I had gotten a job, all I knew was wash and set every other week and relaxers on scheduled times as well as cuts. (Not trims) One stylist even cut, no shaved my sideburns off and now they grow crazy which results in daily care.
But I digress, I'm no hair guru like, ulovemegz or buildablebeauty or Ebonycprincess. I love hearing about their hair journey. So it inspired me to take a stance on caring and learning about hair and how to properly care for it.

No one had ever taken the time out to tell me, you have to do x-y-z before a-b-c happens to your hair. Well I'm taking responsibilty and accountability for my hair-ducation and embarking in new very unknown territory. To start off I got a sew-in as my no manipulation style. Ok ok ok, I know what you are saying, why did you start with such a hard style. Well I've done them before but not with this new knowledge I've gained watching the hair goddesses mentioned.

I did deep condition at least before I got it braided. Now what I didn't know was my kanekalon allergy. I looked to my facebook for answers there was none for a while. Then all of a sudden, POW! There was "naturally curly" I think that's her page name, she spoke on "the ingredient of the day" which was apple cide vinegar.

Goes to show you what this college grad really knew, I knew nothing about this magical mixture, so the itchies came come the sewn-in braids and it was wash day. I got an applicator bottle and did a 50/50 mix of water and apple cider vinegar. And an couple of days past the itches subsided just a bit. I still get itchies but now I'm dealing with unruly tangles.

Guess what product I'm using for that, the "tangle teaser". Its actually working I'm un tangleing as I post. I'm taking a breaks to blog. But it actually works, it takes some time but its worth it. I think this. Might work for those who do u-part wigs that are sewn on, or any wig for that matter.
Well I have to end this blog post with Thank you for reading...I guess I should do a product review soon.

Nah, I'll just post what happens with pictures...

Xoxo
