Products Products Products

Okay I have serious PJ'ism...lol (PJ means product junkie). I just love to try out new products for my hair. I'm always thinking something else could work better...lol.

So far this month I've ordered from MissJessies.com and KarensBodyBeautiful.com. I've also bought some things at my local Bss (beauty supply store). *Sigh* I can't use any of it right now because my hair is in kinky twists. My plan is to use Miss Jessie's creme de la creme once I take this kinky twist set out. I may or may not use her shampoo, which is said not to have in SLS in it. I don't plan to rate the products I try out here, but if you want to know what I thought of a certain product just check out my Fotki.com album or I may do a YouTube video on it.

I have waaaay too many products. I just threw away a whole bunch of stuff last weekend, but I still have products! Most are still full; some are half full, but none are almost empty.

My Top 5 Products:

* Qhemet Biologics Amla & Olive Heavy Cream
* Aubrey Organics Honeysuckle Rose Conditioner
* Herbal Essence Hello Hydration Conditioner
* Sheamoisture Shea Butter Leave-in Conditioner
* Fantasia IC Hair Polisher Styling Gel (clear)
**BONUS** Futurebiotics Hair, Skin, Nail Vitamins

Those 5 products stay in rotation, but since getting more than few new products it may change up. I heard Karen's Body Beautiful has great products and I hear great reviews on them. We'll see...

Day 26~ 100 day hair challenge!

Okay, so its been 26 days since I started this challenge. All is going well. In fact I redid the kinky twists a day later because I didn't like how the first set came out (check photo below in last post). I love how the second set came out...










26 days have gone by so fast. My 50 days is coming up real soon (Feb. 11th) and at that time I'll retwist another set and wear until my end date (apr. 1). I've been using my hair growth oil that I got from Blackonyx77 http://public.fotki.com/KinkyCoils/hair_pics/products/blackonyx77hairgrowthoil.html
It seems to be working fine. I bought a bottle of boundless tresses by Growth Specifics so I'm hoping to try that after my first 50 days is up.

I had to take out one twist in the front because it needed to be retightened and at that time I noticed my hair in the front has grown at least an inch!! The real test will be the sides; to see if my sides have grown. I'm noticing growth now because my hair has been in a "resting" state, meaning I have not been manipulating my hair (ex. combing, brushing, styling, etc.), so it's had time to retain a little more length. Yaaaay! Imagine how much length I may have by April. I mean if I've gained at least an inch in 3 weeks then I should be just below my lip or more by time April arrives (HOPEFULLY).
