Edited Routine Results!

All right, I redid my routine yesterday, and I'm pretty sure my curls would've turned out excellent. The thing is, I was outside yesterday by a pond so my dog could swim and have fun, but it was super windy.  My hair was blowing everywhere and it effected my curls.  After that, I went to a women's golf thinge outdoors and it was even windier then!  So, yeah.  My hair was pretty poofy by the end of the day.  I'll redo the routine again and let you know how it turns out.  Toodles!

My Hair Flat Ironed!

So, here are just a couple random pictures of my hair straightened.  My flat iron is an old, ugly red Conair, but I'm getting a new one this summer.  I'm liking the TS2 flat irons, but I might change my mind. And I'll be adding a lot more pictures of my hair straightened soon! : )

Results from Blog 1!

Okay, so it went okay.  My curls aren't that poofy, but they're not defined at all.  BTW, I added one more product to my routine: Bath and Body Works Aromatherapy Energy Body and Shine Orange Ginger Conditioner.  It smells fabulous, is good for your hair, and I guess gives you energy lol.  Anyway, I put that in while I was in the shower, right before I applied the Mixed Chick deep conditioner.  I got the aromatherapy conditioer at Bath and Body Works yesterday, along was a million other things.  They're having a "yellow" sale and almost everything is either 50 or 75% off.  So, the soaps are $2.50 (8 oz) and the conditioner I got was only $5!  Sadly, they are discontinuing the Dancing Waters collection :( But they're getting 3 new summer citrus collections. I bought one to test it out!


Anyway, back to hair.  I'm pretty sure what I did wrong.  AS SOON AS YOU GET OUT OF THE SHOWER, DO NOT DRY YOUR HAIR!  IMMEDIATELY PUT THE PRODUCT IN!  THEN, YOU CAN DRY YOUR HAIR.  As soon as I got out of the shower, I "bounced" my curls under a fan to dry them a little and my curls totally lost their texture.  So, I'm going to try this routine again tomorrow and hopefully the results will be much better.

As far as the products go, the Mixed Chicks leave-in conditioner is my favorite.  It works pretty well. The Blended Beauty was all right, but it has a very strong, not-so-good smell.  I might try to find a replacement for it, although I did spend $20 on it.  You know, testing hair products can get expensive.  I think every hair website should allow you to buy a sample of the product, like the Mixed Chicks sample trio.  I <3 that.  The Hair Milk has a really good smell, but the Blended Beauty overpowered that smell.  Tip: If you're going to use the Blended Beauty, don't use that much of it.

Well, that's it for now.  I'll be back tomorrow for another update.  Meanwhile, here are a few pics of my hair from today's routine.

Blog 1!

Ok guys, so I started a blog a few days ago, and I have no idea how it happened, but now I can't access that account.  So I have to do everything all over again. 

If you didn't all read know this, I purchased the Blended Beauty Curly Frizz Pudding and the Carols Daughter original hair milk (you can purchase these from the brand's websites).  I'm so happy 'cause they both came in the mail yesterday!  So, I'll try out these products on Saturday, as planned.

Here's what I'll do, step by step:

1.  Apply olive oil to hair the night before I wash it

2.  Wash hair w/ Mixed Chicks shampoo and rinse

3.  Condition hair w/ A LOT of Mixed Chicks deep conditioner

4.  Comb hair out in shower w/ conditioner still in hair

5.  Rinse

6.  Out of shower, apply Mixed Chicks leave-in conditioner, the curly frizz pudding, and the hair milk (I'd recommend putting the hair milk in first) (follow instructions on the back of the products)

7.  Let dry

So, I'll let you guys know how this went on Saturday and post some pics.  Toodles!
