Honey Pre-Poo review

Pre Poo is when u put conditioner and moister on your hair and let it sit for 30 min to an hour before you shampoo your hair.To strengthen and moisturize long beautiful hair, as well as short hair.

So yesterday, I tried the honey pre-poo for the first time. What I did was dampened my hair with water then put honey on it. My har wasn't sticky, but it did smell like honey. I then put on a shower cap and left it on for 30 minutes.
Doing this is supposed to make your hair super-soft.
I guess I was expecting too much because my hair wasn't as soft as I was hoping. Maybe next time I should put more honey in my hair and leave it on for an hour.

Hairlista

Braid Out part 2

So today I finished my braid out. I slept with my durag like I said I would. Its not exactly what I was looking for, but I'm happy with the results. Its kind of a small-curly afro and I think its really pretty. It gives me the natural-look without having to go natural. Check out my youtube videos about my braid out.

Just took out the braids:

Braid Out

Until I get my senglese twists, I wanted to try something new with my hair: a braid out. Braid outs are something new to me. This is my first time attempting them so this is what I did:

-I washed it then deeeeep conditioned it with Aussie's 3 minute miracle deeeeep conditioner. (it says three minutes but i left it in for 7-8)

-Put in Pantene Relaxed and Natural daily oil cream moisturizer

-braided using a spray bottle so my hair can stay damp while i was braiding.

-now I'm going to sleep with a durag. (in the morning i'll write about how it looks.)

Pictures:

Clipped my hair up so it would be out of my way.

My Hair Journey

For almost a year I've been trying to perfect my hair regemin. I always wore my hair in a frizzy ponytail and I hated it. It wasn't until my tenth grade year that I really started to take good care of my hair. Once I started treating it well, it treated me well.

this is a picture of me during the first week of tenth grade. I thought my hair was so long and pretty when I took this picture. look my split and choppy ends. --->

(August, 2009)

Then, my hair started growing and I loved it. it grew a little bit longer than this. After my hair grew, I don't really know what went wrong. I guess I didn't take enough care of it or it got use to my routine but it started breaking off again. So now I'm trying a new routine after I take out my braids. This is what I want to start doing to my hair:

"Pre-Pooing" with honey*-putting 100% honey (from the grocery store) on my damp hair, then putting on a shower cap, after that sitting under the dryer for 30-minutes to an hour.

Rinse- Luke Warm Water (the colder the better-hot water dries hair)

Washing--Shampooing twice, conditioning (I haven't figured out which shampoo and conditioner I'm going to use, most likely something made by silk elements). Then adding Silk Elements glossing polish.-$7.49

Deep Conditioning*- Silk elements Megasilk moisture treatment-sallybeauty.com-$10.99 OR Aussie 3 minute miracle treatment-Drugstores-$3.99

Blowdrying- Jilbere Ceramic Xtreme Professional 2000W Hair Dryer-Sallybeauty.com- $24.99

Pantene Pro-V Relaxed and natural Daily Oil Cream Moisturizer++-Target Stores- About $4

Flat iron- GVP ceramic Flat Iron-Sallybeauty.com- 69.99 (goes on sale A LOT for $59.99)

*=something new I'm trying.

++=Secret Weapon

Products: (w/o honey, shampoo or conditioner)

iLove Toy Story 3!!!

Ever since I was younger I've LOVED disney movies. Specifically Pixar. From the old school 'A Bug's Life' to the newer movies like 'Ratatoullie' and 'Cars'.

About last week I watched 'Toy Story 3' for the first time. I laughed, I (almost) cried and thought it was amazing. When they first said they was coming out with a third 'Toy Story', I thought it was unnecessary. Honestly, do the kids 8 and under now-a-days even know who Woody and Buzz are? Maybe not but I aint mad that they made the third movie.

The plot is about Woody Buzz and the rest of the toys going to a daycare after Andy (the toys owner) goes to college.

As much as I would like to elaborate on the twists and turns, laughs and cries--I don't want to give away the movie.

Can't get to the movies? go to watch-movies.net, type 'Toy Story 3' into the search bar and enjoy the movie!

Rihanna's New Firey Hair

I love the risks Rihanna takes with her hair and style. She started off with sweet girl-next-door long brown tresses. Then she cut her hair, dyed it black and rocked a faux-hawk for the majority of 2008-2009. However, currently she decided to debut her new hair: the same faux-hawk but dyed RED. I loved the long brown hair. I adored the short black hair. But red hair? Hmm... I'll have to think about that one. In my opinion it's not really working. However, I was one of the sceptecs when she first cut it off. Rihanna was one of those people who I thought could pull off any look better than anyone before. But when I saw these pictures, she definantly changed my opinion. I still love Rihanna, her song 'Rockstar 101' is DEF gonna be one of my summer favs... but her hair is not. :/ I'm hoping she's going to work it like she did with her short hair. Hopefully she won't be wearing the bowl cut like she was in the above picture. But with Rihanna you never really know what to expect next. Maybe next week she'll be wearing long yellow hair with orange polka dots.

ViDEOS.
