Sew-in Update

Still have not uploaded the pictures......because when I started to, I realized I didn't know how! lol! Yes, I am pretty slow.

Anywho, so I have had my sew-in for a week now. It is itching but not too much more than usual. I am concerned that I cannot apply my tea tree oil to my ends like I used to. So I guess during the "breathing" period I will take care of that. I washed it yesterday and let it air dry. This week my hair does blend better, I guess because I made sure to try to strip the shine from the hair. It feels good and looks good. It is all soft and feels the same as my hair (both feel very silky and soft!)!!!

I think the next wash should strip it good enough, let us hope so!!!

So in addition to my 2009 plans, I decided what I want to do with my hair color. I have always wanted pink hair but have never done it because pink is such an out there color. So, I am gonna keep the black, but the under layers will be pink. I plan to start with the front though. I picked the under layers so when it grows out, you cant see the roots next to it. Also, if I want to tone it down, it is under the black but if I want to make it pop, I can flip it. This will start with a swoop. Then as it gets longer....maybe like shoulder length, I will do the under layers all over. I plan to use the Clarol Jazzing for that....something Cola is the name of it. i know by the top of the year, my hair probably won't be swoop length. So I will see how long it is, and possibly continue to wear like 1 or 2 tracks that i dye pink and cut to the proper length.

So updated plan!!!!!!! Sorry, I am a list maker!!!!!

• Sew-ins (or braids) until December
• Texlax/relaxer in December (will come back to this)
• Ends clipped (plan to also do during "breathing" times)
• Pink my swoop or sew-in a pink swoop

So I say texlax/relaxer because, I may just relax it. I am not sure yet. Like I used the ORS one, so I plan to do that but I want to add EVOO to the relaxer which helps condition it while it relaxes it. I don't know that texlaxing is the way to go for me because my hair is HIGHLY  textured. However, at a longer length, this may be okay. Like I said, I am I believe a 4b (the s-curl one). And they are crazy tight curls. My hair draws up quite a bit.

Also, my first "breathing" period begins during my last couple weeks of classes....and that is not good, sooooooo, we will see if I do it either a week shorter or longer (I read 5 weeks is a max).

Anywho, I will see how this goes.

NEW PRODUCT!!!! I finally spend the $6.50 for the ORS Glossing Polisher! That stuff leaves my hair sooooooooooooo soft!!!!!!!!!!!!! And it has a soft, NOT OILY shine to it. If my hair was out (and blended with the weave) it would be gorgeous! Amazing product!

That's all for now!
