A Moment of Silence to Test & Experiment

I haven’t posted much lately because I’ve been really frustrated with my hair. I haven't retained much length this past year because of color (I wasn't moisturizing my hair enough) and too many 'trims'. I was also spending WAY too much time styling it to maintain 'defined curls. My solution (Bantu knot-outs) were taking too long to dry. I’d sit under the dryer for a couple of hours (knotted and unknotted), go to bed, and STILL wake up with wet spots in the morning. I’ve been late for work many a day because I needed to sit under the dryer for 30 more minutes. More importantly, it was difficult to maintain that style AND keep my hair moisturized. So there I was trying to achieve four goals: Moisture, length, style and efficiency and failing miserably. Hence my recent obsession with protective styles. But that lasted all of two minutes. The good news is that my frustration led to some major experimentation with lots of great results. Here's a sneak preview of what's coming up:

- Stretching my hair without heat
- Review of Say Yes to Carrots Hair & Scalp Moisturizing Mud Mask deep conditioner (available at Target!)
- Review of Hesh Amla Powder
- Results of Henna and Amla mix
- Professional individual eyelash extension application and results

So now it's in writing and I'm accountable to myself and to you. Looking forward to sharing my latest finds.
