Relaxer Results Using My Nu-Me Iron

Hello my Beauties! So right now im SUPER EXCITED. I reached my goal and im so proud. Ive been doing my normal regimen except taking my Vitamins, i kno bad, but i just fell off with taking them. But i plan on taking them starting tomorrow. Im BSL and im happy.

I was sent over the VINTAGE LIMITED EDITION iron from NU-ME and i fell in love with it. Now if you know me and have been following my hair journey you know i always used my FHI, but using this NU-ME flat iron, it has REPLACED IT!! This iron it amazzzzzzzing, got my hair silky straight with ONE PASS...Im going to list the info below. Dont forget to check out my video below for the review.

VINTAGE LIMITED EDITION::

Product Description: NuMe's best selling Vintage professional styler combines our original 100% solid ceramic irons with our most popular color, Hot Pink. With the identical rounded barrel design, the Limited Edition is still the essential iron used to create any fabulous style from sleek straight to luscious curls, the choice is yours. Best for all hair types.







The Professional Styling Iron has a unique alignment system that ensures ideal contact between your hair and our 100% tourmaline ceramic plates. Using pure ceramic plates ensures even distribution, eliminating the hot spots and chipping associated with conventional irons. Our tourmaline ceramic plates emit negative ions which seals moisture in the hair cuticle keeping your hair shiny, healthy and silky smooth.

13 Week Comparison

Hey Beauties, so here is my 13 week comparison. I love my results. And i have to say I am really proud of myself so far on my hair journey. This is the longest and healthiest my hair has ever been. With sticking to a good regimen for my hair, and learning what to do and what not to do, has made a DRASTIC change in my hair.

I plan to relax my hair in 12 weeks, which brings me to the end of June. This time, i will be doing oil rinses and giving my new growth some TLC by keeping my new growth moisturize and sealed, just like my ends. My hair is getting longer which means more work for me. So its time for me to make some changes in my hair care routine, esp when that new growth is kicking in. My hair is thick,so i have to make sure i detangle the right way or i will get some knots =(

I made a mistake with this last relaxer by not detangleing it before doing my actual relaxer, which resulted in 4 knots in my hair =( which i had to basically rip out...egh...the thought..  =/  So i will makesure i detangle the "PROPER" way from now on...this was my first and my last time i get some freaking knots in my hair!!!

Im really hoping to hit BSL by June and MBL by Dec..this is going to be huge for me, because i have never been that length...but i beleive i could do it with the support of all my KISS SISTERS.. =)

I just received my order from Amazon of the Pure Coconut Oil, i cant wait to use this for my oil rinses...ill let you beauties know how that works out.

Talk To You Beauties Soon...Stay Blessed

XOXOXO

Relaxer Thoughts...

Hey Beauties!!!

So i have been protecting my hair 100% by wearing a lace front wig...and i loooove it! I have not gave up on my half wigs but i wanted my hair to be covered, all of it. The Lace Front im rocking right now is Sunny by Model Model, im sorry i will try to get this tutorial up very soon, i have been really busy and tired =( But this wig, O-M-G loves it...ill get into more details about her in the video =-)

Now my last relaxer was Dec 24th, or was it Dec 23rd, lol. Anyway- it will be "time" to do one the end of this month...but....i just ordered a human lace front wig to rock. I ordered human because i want to be able to style it and for it to last longer. Synthetic hair does not last to long. And i dont want to spend $40 every few weeks. So im really tryna decide if i should relax this month (the end) or relax in June (the end)...i really want to hit my goal of BSL, or at least touching BSL. My hair seems to grow slow IMO and i dont want to be disappointed. I have worked so hard to get where i am at and i just want to keep going hard at it =) -- my hair will be touching my butt one day lol--watch me ;)

The only thing, is dealing with 2 textures..egh...i hate it..but if im wearing my lace front wig...i should be able to handle it..right? thats the tough part..i just hope i dont get weak and relax lol...

I cant wait for my new lace front wig to come in...details soon, next week for sure...now i just have to get these 2 other tutorials up...busy-busy-busy...but i do it all for you BEAUTIES =)

C'ya Soon...

Stay Blessed and Remember Praise HIM..HE IS SO WORTHY =)

How I Self-RELAX part 1

Hey Beauties...Happy Thursday =)

This is how i self relax my own hair. This is just to give you an idea incase you are wondering how to self relax. Remember, what works for me might not work for you.


The relaxer i use and love, is Dark & Lovely, regular, with shea butter
First i section my hair into 4 parts, i then apply my proclaim oil (pic below) to my hair, a very little bit, making sure i get my ends to protect them. After i do this, i then put like a quater size amount of oil into the relaxer mix. This helps slow down the relaxing process...


Then i apply it to my new growth ONLY, with the relaxer brush (i kno this isnt the right name lol). I start at my crown since this is where my hair is more coarse at and is harder to get straight...i then move to the back, nape area, the the front of my hair, finally doing my edges LAST. I time myself and watch my hair from once the relaxer touches my hair to see how it is processing. I leave the relaxer in my hair anywhere from 15-20 mins. I move in a fast but i make sure to be careful not to overlap.

......

I then rinse out all of the relaxer really good, making sure not to leave any behind...Before i neutralize my hair i apply Aphogee 2 min (protein) this helps put some protein back into the hair making it strong from the relaxer...which takes out some protein.

I leave this on anywhere from 5-10 mins, then i rinse and neutralize my hair. I neutralize, rinse 3xs...on the last wash i leave in my hair for 5 mins..to make sure to stop the relaxing process.

Next i shampoo my hair with Aphogee Shampoo for damage hair. Rinse, then i deep condition my hair with one n' only argan oil mask.



Leave on for 10-15 mins..rinse, then final rinse with COLD water!

woooooh....that was a lot, lol, but thats what I do...I will let you beauties know what i do after this in part 2...what products and stuff like that =)
