Heated Gelatin Protein Treatment

By request from user Jamaican Rose, I'll right out this simple (dirt cheap) recipe for a fairly strong  protein treatment.

Have you done your strand test this month?

It is much easier to find out why your hair is breaking than guessing and buying a bunch of products you don't need.

The point of a strand test is that hair breakage is normally caused by two things.

1) The lack of moisture in hair
2) Damage to the protein of the hair.
You need to also know the porosity of your hair because it can affect how a product works in your hair.

March - June 2014 Update

So yeah, I cut my hair, but it's growing back faster than I anticipated. Who knew?

3 Year Hair Update

My 3 Year Stretch Cut

Hair Stuff That Is The Truth

Was talking to my friend the other day about things I've done to my hair the past 6 months. I chose to use some thing that may be less common in most hair conversations outside of maybe hair boards, but are the truth. He is a quick list of things I swear by.

1) EGG HAIR MASK: You can apply it strait to the hair or mix it into a conditioner. If you apply it straight don't apply heat and rinse with cool water ONLY. Some people separate the yoke from the white as one strength ends while the other gives off great shine. I don't separate. I find it comes out great by just adding an egg to moisturizing condition. Kind of feels like Aphogee 2 minute that way giving you soft yet strong hair. I leave it in for an hour.

Small Hair Update

Okay, so I'm WSL... But not FULL waist length yet. I cut my hair right before the summer to help hurry along this transition and to allow my hair bulk to move downward (where the thickest part of my hair ends). My hair grows in this "V" shape due to my crown growing the fastest. This is not a real issue other than the last 2 inches remain thin for a few months. 

Lowering The PH Of My Shampoo

Just a short blog to talk about playing with the PH of my shampoo (or rather shampoos I have purchased that I could tell were off in PH). I've been up on the PH info since 1999. I don't talk much about because so many other bloggers do. I figure I'd be beating a dead horse. I figured today I'd let you in on how I get around the issue.

First Attempt At Homemade Protein Treatment

What is that green, alien-like, goo in that bowl? 

Jello! 

I know, let me explain.

What Helped Me Stretch/Transition

Having stretched relaxers ( & texlaxes), and having been on a long term transition to natural for about 2 years and five months, I can tell you a little bit about how to get over that bumpy road.

So here is my list of things that got me through the battle to win the war of the feuding hair textures.
