ELASTA QP SMOOTH AS SILK STYLING GEL

THESE PICTURES ARE WHEN I FIRST FOUND OUT HOW TO DEFINE MY CURLS,I USED ELASTA QP GEL AND I LIKED IT AT THE TIME ,IT DOESN'T DRY HARD AT ALL AND IS VERY SOFT TO THE TOUCH.I'M NOT SURE I LIKE THAT IT DOESN'T HAVE ANY HOLD ONCE ITS DRIED,MAYBE I'LL TRY IT AGAIN ONCE MY HAIR IS A LITTLE LONGER.THIS IS ABOUT 3 MONTHS POST BIG CHOP.

ECO STYLER CURLS WHEN HAIR IS DRIED

THESE PICS ARE OF MY HAIR ONCE IT WAS ALL DRY,I LOSE ABOUT TWO INCHES WHEN MY HAIR DRIES,WHICH SUCKS LOL.

ECO STYLER GEL CURLS

I HAVE BEEN USING ECO STYLER GEL FOR THE PAST COUPLE MONTHS TO DEFINE MY CURLS AND I LOVE IT.BEFORE THE ECO STYLER I WAS USING ELASTA QP SMOOTH AS SILK STYLING GEL TO DEFINE MY CURLS AND LET ME TELL YOU THERE IS A HUGE DIFFERENCE IN THE WAY MY HAIR LOOKS IN THE END.THE ECO STYLER IS SORT OF HEAVIER ,SO IT HELPS MY HAIR HANG MORE,WHICH I LOVE .I'VE LEARNED ALOT THOUGH ABOUT HOW TO USE THE GEL .BEFORE APPLYING THE ECO STYLER ,BE SURE TO MOISTURIZE AND SEAL .I USE WATER,SHEA BUTTER THEN SEAL WITH COCONUT OIL. DON'T USE TOO MUCH OR IT WILL DRY REALLY HARD,ECO STYLER GEL IS GREAT FOR SECOND AND THIRD DAY HAIR BECAUSE IT CAN BE REACTIVATED WITH WATER.THIS AT ABOUT 5 MONTHS POST BIG CHOP.

AMLA POWDER TREATMENT

I STARTED DOING ALOT OF RESEARCH ON AYURVEDA POWDERS AND WHAT THEY OFFER.KNOWING THAT IT WAS ALL NATURAL SEEMED LIKE THE WAY TO GO FOR ME,CONSIDERING I WANT NO SETBACKS ON MY JOURNEY TO LONGER HEALTHIER HAIR.FIRST I TRIED HENNA ,I JUST KEPT IT SIMPLE AND MIXED IT WITH OLIVE OIL AND LET IT SIT IN A CONTAINER OVER NIGHT.WHEN I APPLIED IT I KEPT IT ON FOR 1 HOUR AND RINSED IT ALL OUT .ONCE MY HAIR WAS FULLY RINSED I SAW HOW RED IT MADE MY HAIR,I CAN'T REALLY SAY I LOVED IT,ONLY CAUSE I REALLY DON'T THINK I SUIT RED HAIR ,IT HAD ALSO LOOSENED MY CURL PATTERN SO MUCH AS WELL BUT I DIDN'T MIND THAT TOO MUCH ESPECIALLY AFTER HAVING A TWA . A FEW DAYS LATER I NOTICED THE RED COLOUR FADING AND IT DIDN'T REALLY LOOK THAT BAD AFTERWARDS.IN THE END ,I LIKED HOW THE HENNA TREATMENT MADE MY HAIR FEEL BUT IF IT WAS GONNA COLOUR MY HAIR SO MUCH EVERY TIME,I DIDN'T KNOW HOW OFTEN I WOULD ACTUALLY DO IT.THIS LED ME ON TO MORE RESEARCH ,WHEN I STARTED HEARING ABOUT MORE POWDERS LIKE INDIGO,WHICH MAKES YOUR HAIR BLACK ,WHILE MIXED WITH SOME HENNA WOULD MAKE YOUR HAIR BROWN AND AMLA POWDER WHICH HAS THE SAME RESULTS AS HENNA BUT THERE IS NO DYE IN IT .I DECIDED I WOULD TRY THE AMLA POWDER,I MIXED IT WITH WATER ONLY AND LET IT SIT ON MY HAIR FOR 30 MIN'S
WITH A SHOWER CAP.ONCE IT WAS ALL RINSED OUT OF MY HAIR,I NOTICED IT WAS A LITTLE DRIED OUT.I ENDED UP SLATHERING TONS OF CONDITIONER ON MY HAIR AND LETTING IT SIT FOR A BIT BEFORE I RINSED AGAIN .IN THE END MY HAIR FELT STRONG AND SOFT,WHILE THE COLOUR LOOKED DARK AND BOLD.I LIKED IT AND I KNEW FROM HERE ON IN IF I WAS GOING TO INCORPORATE AMLA INTO MY MONTHLY REGIMEN I WOULD NEED TO USE A MOISTURE DEEP TREATMENT AFTERWARDS AT ALL TIMES.

AFTER THE TWIST OUT

These pics were taken after i took out my twists,this is about two or three day old hair.Taken at the lovely Springrolls restaurant.This young man in the second pic is my son Tristin.

First Twist Set

This was the first set of twists i had done on my hair,this is also when i relized all the different textures my hair has.The top and nape of my hair is really loose and doesn't curl as much and I call it 3c.The sides and crown is corkscrew coils and i call these areas 4a.
