Hairfinity



Today is the day I will start hairfinity,  on March 4, 2014.  I am at three inches all over. I am excited to see the growth I will get in these 6 months. Wish me luck.  I think I am going to  take a multivitamin with to keep me balanced. Any one have any suggestions? 



This is the begining.  I have about three inches all over. So April I am looking to have four inches all over.



Anyone is taking hairfinity and see about 1 inch a month?

I dont want to let them go

Today I have officially had my yarn wraps in for one month, and for the firat time I am not ready to take them out. For the first two weeks I did good real good I even washed and deep conditioned it and it was great. Then the next two weeks I was slipping I oiled my scalp like every three days instead of every day like I been doing. I just have been busy,  I redid my edges on friday the 20th and I feel like I can go another two weeks but I dont want to mess up my months. I do a different hair style every month. So when march come I plan to have a different style.

So what should I do just take them out on the 28th which would put me three days over or just leave them for two weeks? Side note I took my edges out and had a lot of lent and shed hairs.

WHAT TO DOOOOOO?

Two weeks six days

So I am a little disappointed in myself because I am so ready to take these crochet braids out and its only been two weeks and two days. I wanted to keep them for four weeks but I think that is going to be out, since thanksgiving is in the forth week of may hair due, and you know I cant go no where with my hair looking like that. I also have to let my hair breath for a week before putting it away again. So  will be taking this hair out on the 19th which which is a tuesday and exactly three weeks.
Yes I did wash my crochet braids. I seen that a lot of people dont like to wash them but I did and nothing happened.  I shampooed and I deep conditioned. I let it sit for and hour and then rinsed it out and let it air dry, which took forever.  I then did a leave in and moisturized my scalp with olive oil mango butter and sealed with my hair oil mix.




This what my hair looks like. I can say I am almost at an inch of new growth.  Yah me. I am going to do the inversion method my last week of the four weeks. Today will be the last day of these braids and I am ready for them to. I like them but I love to change my hair styles on a regular. 



Pre poo


Ok since I will be taking my braids out tomorrow I decided to do a hot oil treatment / pre poo on my hair. I am going to be leaving it in over night and then I am going to add some conditioner tomorrow while I take them out to try and not have so much breakage. This is my first time trying this so I dont know how easy it will make this process. 



I used 100% pure coconut oil, for this treatment



I then took my shower cap and my scarfs and put on my head for bed.


Has any one did a hot oil pre poo before? I hope these braids dont take a long time to take out.


30 day AB challenge



As you can see from the title I am doing an AB challenge.  I am 8 months post baby, March 19, 2013. I can not seem to lose any of this baby weight. So I am going to try and finish this out.


Day 1 


15 sit ups
5 crunches
5 leg lifts
10 second planks

And yes I did it all I hope I will finish this


This is the begining 


I am a little under 150 pounds. My goal is to lose 10 pounds. I like my weight but I am not to same size I was befor baby, and now nothing fits. And my gut it off the hook so I need to nip this in the bud right now. I plan on going to Miami 2014 summer so I need to get right.



I also did running,  I havent ran in like a month and when I first started I was about die I end up stopping for like 2-3 minutes,  and stated again. I use to try and do 300 calories a run but today I could not hang but I will try agin tomorrow. 



Any one wants to try this with me? I am excited to see how it goes.  And I hope I can keep it up.

Up coming protective styles

Ok the fall/winter season I will be doing braided protective styles.  So from September- February I will be doing protective styles. I will be doing 3/4weeks of each style and one week to breathe in between each style to give my hair a breather.

Here are a few I will like to try

  • Human hair crochet braids
  • Marly twist crochet braids 
  • kanekalon crochet braids
  • Water wave crochet braids
  • Yarn braids 





       Sooooo far

  • September/October - box braids
  • October/November- crochet braids (bohemian curl)
  • November/December-
  • December/January-
  • January/February-

Please help with what I should do next. Im going to Disney world in December,  and my birthday is in January.  So I have to pick which would suit whats going on. I just bought the human hair for the braids and I am so excited to try it. I have all the hair for all the styles except the which I am going to get soon. I think buying all the hair in advance makes it so much harder to choose. HELP MEEEEEE ?

1 week and 3 days crochet braids

This about the second day
I am so in love with the crochet braids. I have been wearing then a different style about every other day. My plan is to take them out on November 26. Im not sure if I can last that long I like my hair styles to look fresh everyday. I can say I have grown about 1/4 inch of new growth in about a week. (super excited) my goal is to retain 1 inch a month.


 


This is what I gained in 1 week and 3 days
