Relaxer Prepartion

Ok ladies .. Here's a great video from my favortie Youtuber Guru Ateya!!! I've looked up some information about taking special care of your hair before relaxing your hair. I got some information over at Associated Content from Audrey Sivasothy. She wrote a wonderful article describing a method you can use (IF YOU CHOOSE). I know there are someout there that may not agree with this method but you can use this if you want. I think that the video Ateya posted is a great example of this method as she states that she's getting a relaxer next week. Check out the video at the end of my post!

Shea It Ain't So

Well, it is...my unrefined shea butter has arrived!! I must say Traycee, you were so right! This stuff is great. It so smooth and creamy without blending with any other oils. I love this. It's great for your skin, hair, etc. I will definitely be incorporating this into my new regimen, which I will introduce on October 11!!

I am in the process of getting my hair into a healthier state and I think that sealing my ends with shea will help me soooooo much. My hair gets rough during the winter so a lot of protective styles and this butter will help me cope with the cold weather that is about the come this way.

I got a couple of pics of how my shea butter looked when it arrived and some I whipped up with a couple of my favorite oils!

Miss Jessie's..Is it worth the cost?

I guess I can't really "review" this product since I decided against ordering it. Now I've heard people rant and rave about how great these products are but then I've heard others say it's a waste of time.

Now Since I've started my transtioning phase, I've been pretty open to try new products to get my NG more manageable and when a co-worker suggested this line...I was pretty excited. I've been having a tough time with transitioning and I have always heard that Miss Jessie's is some gooooood stuff. Only problem is>>>> Why the debil does it cost so much? I mean, I was getting ready to order the 20z sizes of Curly Hair Pudding and The Buttercreme. Those two together totaled around $16. When I went to check out, the shipping and handling took me up to almost $30!!!!!

With that being said, I'm going to try another route and Miss Jessie's isn't on my way...LOL... I would give it a try if I really felt that it would make a difference. Going on a hunch, might I add that costs $30 bucks, just doesn't convince me. Check out their site at www.missjessies.com if you want to see some of the great work they've done at the salon and even order products! IT may not be an option for me but it may be for someone out there.

So to all of you out there who love Miss Jessie's..more power to you!!!

Peace & no hair grease...always butters (LOL..I know that made absolutely no sense)

Luv u Guys!
