5 Months Comparison Pics

So on Saturday I decided to lightly straighten my hair (on 90degrees) and I was a little surprised with the transformation. The picture on the right was taken on 29th June (date of my last relaxer), and the picture on the left was just taken, apologies for the poor quality.
So I think I'm allowed to claim BSL? I won't be this length for long, when I get my relaxer in a few weeks time I want to have a decent trim, I've been saying 2inches, but to tell you the truth I don't even know how big (or small) 2inches is lol.
Hopefully I get my relaxer next week, if not the week after. Stay tuned for the update!

Please Pray For Her

This post isn't hair related, but my friend showed me this video and I was so touched I had to share it with you ladies.

Such a strong girl, I love and admire her strength.

She will certainly be in my prayers

My New Naughty Hair Goodies

So a few months back my straighteners broke, and although I don't use them often, a girl needs a pair of straighteners!
I've head such great things about GHD's, CHI and the FHI so I was doing some searching around and the FHI popped out to me, I love how you can control the temperature of the straightener, and people always have good things to say about this brand.
Knowing the FHIs are primarily based in America I was prepared to pay a little extra for postage and packing.
Would you imagine my surprise when I found the straighteners on a UK site, with such an AMAZING deal.
 Look fantastic are selling the FHI Heat The Session Pack which retails at £119.95 for £84.95, and being the bargain hunter that I am, managed to get it for £76.46 using a 10% off promotional code, not to mention free P&P. At first I was a little sceptical about this because the kit contains a hair straightener that look fantastic are selling for £89.99, which made no sense to me because the kit contains all this extra stuff for a smaller price.

So this lovely kit contains...

FHI Heat Platform 1 Inch Styling Iron

FHI Heat Platform Domed Styling Iron

FHI Heat Hot Sauce
thermal heat-activated conditioner

FHI Heat T-Rex Clips

Gosh, I still can't believe I got this all for £76!!

I cannot wait to give this hair straightener a try, It will be a lovely treat since I haven't used direct heat in a while. Although I have these lovely additions in my life, the use of direct heat will be still limited.
I would love to hear your opinions on the FHI, if any of you own it.

Todays Lazy Wash Day - 22 Weeks Post

So for today's wash day I decided to do things a little differently. I'm trying to use up my products before I buy some new ones, so today I decided to finish the lustrasilk aloe vera cholestoral deep conditioner, I applied this liberally to my hair (roots first then all the way down the hair shaft focusing on the ends). I left this on my hair for about 2 hours while I had a nap, I then rinsed out the deep conditioner and applied the elvive full restore masque, let that sit for 2 minutes then rinsed, now I was going to cowash but I left my conditioner in my room and couldn't be bothered to get it so just towel dried my hair, (I'm naughty I know haha).

After applying my leave ins (Elasta H20 and beautiful ends) I applied a little of the cantu shea butter serum and decided to detangle (note I have never used the serum to aid in detangling my hair).
Now I'm not sure what product it was, but this one of the first times I actually didn't hate detangling my hair with all my new growth, and when I think back and compare the hair loss I got this time I don't think it's a lot, obviously it still may be a lot compared to the hair loss some of you ladies receive after detangling but I don't think I will see a major improvement in the hair lost through the detangling process after I get a good chop because I'm not to happy with the health of my ends.

Now normally I detangle my hair before I apply my deep conditioner, so I was shocked to see what happens when I comb my semi wet hair, check out the pics...

POOF! Where did all this hair come from?
