Loving my twistout

So I decided to blowdry my hair & wear a twistout for the week.

Here's my regimen this week:

• Shampooed with Giovanni 50/50
• DC'ed with a ORS pack with heat for 30 minutes
• Leave-in was Giovanni Direct
• Sealed with castor oil
• Aphogee spray for heat protectant
• Sectioned off hair, blowdried section & twisted.

The pics are not the best....it was 7am!!! Here are my results, fluffy & starting to frizz out a bit....BUT I LOVE IT ANYWAYS!!! :)

Twistout from chunky twists

I kept my twists in for 8 days and took them down Monday morning. Here are my results:

Continued hair this weekend - twists

So, to continue what I started yesterday.....

• shampooed with Giovanni 50/50 shampoo
• conditioned with Joico K-Pak Moisture
• whipped up some Shea butter, aloe vera gel, lavender & lemon EO for my own shea-aloe
• applied Alba Botanica leave-in conditioner
• sealed with shea-aloe blend while doing medium size twists
  
  

Hair this weekend

So after being a bad girl straightening my dirty hair last week, I figured I better give some extra TLC to my hair.
I decided to do a pre-treatment of Aloe Vera gel & Ojon Restorative Pre-Cleansing Treatment.

I applied the Aloe to my scalp & hair, then the Ojon and sat under the heat cap for 30 minutes. Here are the results from that, I think my hair liked it & is no longer mad at me for straightening last week :

Ok change of plans, my DH just called & said he would like to go shopping this evening, guess today won't be my hair day....so now I am going to do a prepoo conditioner & go LOL!! I am so glad I did not start shampooing my hair....I just threw on a headband & left.

Got a new Olympus SP-600UZ camera!!!

I have been feening for a new camera & finally purchased one, with a few bells & whistles.
I purchased the Olympus SP-600UZ & it was delivered today http://www.olympusamerica.com/cpg_section/product.asp?product=1498

I am sssooo excited.....I apologize in advance for the excessive picture taking & posting that is about to occur. Even my DH jokingly said, I bet you will take some really nice hair pics with that.

I've been a bad girl!

Ok ladies, I have been a bad girl with my hair! I straightened my hair & IT WAS NOT CLEAN. I know it was wrong...that didn't stop me :(

I should have been washing & deep conditioning my hair, treating it with love...but what was I doing? Straightening it with my electric comb & Ultrasheen creme press. What can I say for myself? Sadly, not much....I was sitting there looking in the mirror at my myself, contemplating what style did I want for the upcoming week. Suddenly, I wanted it straight. Right that moment. Not in a few hours, RIGHT THAT MOMENT. The next thing I knew, I was turning on the hot comb my sister had just returned to me and pressing away.

I don't regret it either, although I may later. I pressed it straight, but not bone straight. I plan to wear my hair in a high bun all week. So sorry no pics, my camera is broken.

Broken camera & fab twistout!

My hair has felt so moisturized & soft, I think I luv this Ouidad conditioner!!
Usually with a twistout I wind up re-twisting in various spots to maintain it for the work week. This time, I haven't done one thing to it & it is holding true & still moisturized. At night, I just pulled it up into a high ponytail and tied with a silk scarf.
AND I KNOW...THIS POST IS WORTHLESS WITHOUT PICS, BUT SADLY MY CAMERA STOP WORKING :(
I plan to order to order one this week or next....gotta research features.
