Spring Time. (the feeling is so fine)

Hey Curlies so its finally Spring !! and after the long hard cold winter I decided to add some much needed moisture back into my hair, by doing a Olive Oil  Hot Oil Treatment. I left the treatment covered for and hour then shampoo as usual.


I Braided my hair to make applying the oil easier.

Finally

Howdy do people!

It has been a minute since I last posted but I'm here now, piggy-backing on my neighbours WIFI #don'tjudgeme to come with my latest length check and product review. Since being back in JA I have been settling back into my routine and that included going to the beach ( though it is not my favourite place #notatruejamaican) which caused my hair and I lots of stress.

We went to Portie ( rich ppl talk for Port Antonio) a sleepy but beautiful town. Check out my awesome photography skills ( which consists of peoples heads, NOTHING of the town and random houses)












Typical me, going to the beach in jeans and drinking out the rum. THIS IS WHY YOU DO NOT INVITE ME OUT!

On to the hair.

Unfortunately, it was very windy at the beach so of course it got in my rum........and hair which was very annoying because I was not planning on washing my hair but then again I do not like waking up with sand in my bed.




You see the sand??

So I washed my hair with Tresemme Thermal Recovery shampoo and then used a new product I found called The Roots Naturelle Virgin Hair Fertilizer Conditioning Treatment. It is a really good protein treatment , but it tingles like crazy! Even after I rinsed my hands they were still burning/tingling so if you don't like peppermint don't use this! 

I mixed it with my Giovanni Tea Tree Conditioner to stretch it. The instructions said 3-5 mins but I left it on for an hour (my hair is in dire need of protein) It left my hair really soft. I skipped the condish and went straight to styling.


So I used Naptural85's method and used Nubian Heritage Hair Reparative Butter. MENG! this thing is TOTES AMAHZING!!!! it smells GREAT and it makes my hair so soft! but I of course use waaaay too much so I end up with a greasy pillow.






The first three pictures are like the day after styling


  (holding back a sneeze)



These are today after a workout with the style in for two weeks





Even after all that time I still have product in my hair ( probably due to my heavy hand) and its still soft.


Trust and believe you don't need that much.......... ah the smell.........hmmm........ so you know who' s buying this thing in bulk rite?



yesssssssss.



FOCUS!



Ok.... on to length check. My last one was back in October 2012




Not much of a length check but hey.


And here is todays check April 4th 2013












Since then, I have trimmed twice so it should be....at least two,three inches longer, but I have achieved my goal of bra strap (well in the back) length and I didn't even know! 









So my next goal is for the rest of my hair to catch up to the back.

So until then



Peace.

From Shoulder Length to Waist Length: Geniece's Natural Hair Story




(courtesy of BGLH.com)




In 2009 when I had my hair care “aha!” moment I couldn’t wait to share the news with others. After months of researching natural hair care on Youtube, hair websites and experimenting with my hair I realized that things had finally taken a turn for the better. I started a vlog and began documenting my journey through pictures. When I realized by the middle of 2010 that I would likely reach my first goal of arm pit length by the end of the year I set another hair goal of bra strap length for the following year.
