Coconut milk

well well well....
i finally tried the avacado and cocnut milk, before i used the cocnut milk and avacado i put my tea rinse and let it just about air dry and then rinsed and put on the coconut milk and avacado.

at first my sentiments about this concoction were very very mixed because 1. i didnt puree the avacado and 2. it felt hard after i rinsed it but then after i put in some conditioner for 5 minutes and rinsed it out it was all good and the next day my new growth was very very textured. ..

so the next day i decided to mix some conditioner with honey, coconut milk, and evoo and dc with heat for an hour and i liked how that came out too. so next i will use just cocnut milk by it self and see what that does. all in all i like the effect that the cm had on my hair..

FEBRUARY UPDATE::::

I did my 3 month update yesterday and well, it did grow, but not quite to apl. but im happy with the thickness and the health of my hair.. it was truely a lesson learned though..

next time i will have to rollerset and just flatiron the roots and learn about saran wrapping. also oddly enough i thought i would have a hard time flatironing the roots but it was the ends that i had a hard time with, the roots straightened perfectly. my ends were dry but i know its the extra protien ive been using.

over all though im happy with my hair but i will be cutting back on the heavy protien and just use silk protien for a while and figure out a way to combat my "weak spot". so all in all this 5.5 months of hair care has been great. and so not a waste of time i've achieved health thickness and length.

so my next update will be in May and my short term goal is full apl by July.

PROPS TO SOUTHERNTEASE

THIS WOMAN JUST DOESNT KNOW THAT SHE IS MY TOTAL INSPIRATION FOR THIS JOURNEY THAT IM EMBARKING IM ONLY 14 WEEKS INTO MY TRANSITION BUT SHE IS WHAT IS KEEPING ME IN TOTAL BELIEF THAT I CAN ABSOLUTELY MAKE THIS HAPPEN. THATS ALL FOR NOW!!!

its a balancing act

i sure do hope i can get my hair balanced out, because that breakage in my weak spot (back middle section of hair) is getting ugly!!! i left the 2 min keratin reconstructor on for a bit last night... (ei it actually felt like it did something...) then i dc'd for about 20 w/ heat. i'll be glad when i can leave it in for 2 min and use it less often.. like scurl, i only have to use it on my new growth once a day every other day instead of 2 times perday every single day!!! i cant wait to try the coconut milk and avacado this weekend. i think im really close to apl, ive been good and havent done length shots since november. we shall see on wednesday 13th. oh yeah as of today im 14 weeks post!!!!!!!!!!!! i think its about to really start feeling like a real "stretch" i dont think ive ever gone longer than 3 months before. doign this really makes me question why i relaxed so often.... now if i get under the dryer versus airdrying it'll take like 15 minutes (or longer) for me to detangle and moisterize my hair.. im also not sure about the texture of my hair.. the first 1/2 inch in the front looks straight nappy (minus the edges, they are thin and curly and soft) but that front, whoo!!!! i can little bitty waves up there i think thats going to be my tightest curls up there.. jeez!!!!
