As I sit here, admiring this lovely Memorial Day weekend. The sun and heat that I love has returned to the DMV and I'm beyond ready to step out to barbeques and pool parties. And who doesn't love happy hour bar hopping when its 80 degrees as the sunsets? I'm all about that life. Unfortunately, my un-relaxed hair is feeling some type of way about my lifestyle choices. I'm stuck. I really hate how I have to spend so much time to get my natural leave out nice, just to step outside and poof up. From my house to my job, I'll clock in looking as if I have a little poodle sitting on my head. Its annoying. However, I will not let a little humidity make me stray from my goals. While I write this, I'm researching different products for us natural girlies that can control some of the "poof". I've experimented with different edge control products to see if I can keep the hair laying down, but after some time I always get some poof. I'm considering doing a full weave or closure but I didn't necessarily want to pay the price, so over the next couple of hot weeks, I'll be reviewing several products to see which ones work best for me.
Mizani's Spradiance
Chi Silk Infusion
Sabino Block (maybe called Loc & Bloc)
Garnier Frutis Anti Frizz Serum
Mane N Tail Hair Dressing.
I'm praying I find the best one first, I refuse to have to suffer the poof all summer. I failed to mention that I re-installed my Brazilian hair last week. I'm actually very pissed off about the quality of this hair. I have TONS of shedding and its barely holding curls. I guess this was a lesson learned. I will never purchase hair from the girl that supplied these bundles. However, this was a great hair to experiment with. I was able to go on a crash course, if you will, on how to care for "higher quality" hair before I went on a big splurge. I do plan on purchasing 3 bundles (praying for 2 18' and 20' ) of Malaysian in the near future. I'm currently looking for a RELIABLE vendor. There are so many different hair vendors in this hair market, who can you trust?
Any recommendations???
Look out in the near future for a Vlog entry on the products.
