What did I do with my hair?

How did I have my hair for my vacation? Glad you asked!

I decided to go with two strand twists. I figured it is a cute style for my actual birthday and it can also withstand the island humidity and water if i decided to get my hair wet.

I twisted them the night before I left. It took me 3.5 hours, but I was very pleased with how they came out.

When I tell you that I did absolutely nothing with my hair while on vacation, believe me when I say… nothing! The most I did was add some Taliah Waajid – Curly Curl Cream and pin up the front one day.

I swam with the dolphins and my hair did get a little wet in the back. My hair seemed to shrink and get shorter and shorter each day. When I returned home, I put the mini twists in four big twists to stretch it. I even did a french braid on it to go to the gym.

I’ll wash and pamper my hair this evening or tomorrow.

Back to the Old School

I’m finally back to my twist out. My hair has grown a lot. What I don’t understand is why this one twist in the front on the left side continues to do its own thing. Natural hair really has a mind of it’s own. I’ve never experienced a twist rebelling! LOL.

I mean… really… what’s that about?

I’ve been rocking my twist out since about Saturday. I thought maybe I would be able to make it through the week, but my scalp decided otherwise. Everything was going well until I came home this evening and exercised. My scalp was itching sooooo bad, I was about to rip my scalp out, so I ended up doing an impromptu wash. I was going to retwist it tonight anyway, so I figured washing it wouldn’t add that much more time.

I used my usual DevaCurl Shampoo to wash. This weekend I went to Sally’s and bought the generic to Matrix Biolage’s Conditioning Balm. I’ve been wanting to try this conditioner for a while, but refused to pay full price for it. I must say that it worked well, but lately all of the conditioners I’ve tried work well in my hair. Maybe my hair is just in a better condition than it was in the past.

That’s it for now. I expect to do an official length check to end the Hairscapades GOChallenge, but I just haven’t felt like going through all of that. We’ll see. =)

XOXO,
