Happy Sunday everyone! This is the day the Lord has made and we shall rejoice and be glad in it.- Psalm 118-24 Even if you cannot get someone a gift this CHRISTmas, make sure you show them some love. Give them a hug :-) In hair-related news... I haven't been in the mood to do my hair. I keep saying I'm going to wash it. I threw some ECO Styler gel, water, and Cantu in my hair and put a banana clip in it. I didn't comb or brush it. I must admit that I was happy that my hair was long enough to pull into a ponytail. I don't think my it has ever been stretched enough to pull all of my hair together, except for a regular puff. What's your go-to style?

Happy Sunday everyone! I hope that everyone is having a good day. Please keep the families of the Connecticut shooting victims in your prayers. Thursday I co-washed my hair to remove the wrap lotion from the rollerset. My hair was softer, but t probably will be even better when I shampoo it. I did a two-strand bantu knot out. I liked the definition in the picture above. Lately, I have been really trying to keep my tangles to a minimum, and I figured I would share what I have learned. Detangle Properly You may use your fingers, wide-tooth comb, or a brush. I usually detangle my hair while it is wet with conditioner or shampoo. I go through section by section slowly from root to tip. I was using a Gabriela (Denman-like) brush every time.

Happy Wednesday everyone, I was perusing the aisle of Family Dollar when I saw the zigzag pattern headband above, and I absolutely love it!... It was only 99cents plus tax :-) You can match it with many different colors/outfits.

Happy Tuesday everyone, Yesterday was my 21 months hairanniversary! The funny thing is that I would probably have forgotten if it wasn't for Naturali-Chik posting hers lol. I haven't been posting much about my hair because I haven't been doing anything new. Yesterday, I washed, deep conditioned, and installed two-strand twisted pin curls. This morning I took them out for a twist out. But, the humidity made my little waves disappear lol. Yesterday, I was looking in my product collection for a shampoo and pulled out the Revitalizing Shampoo by Finesse. The bottle of shampoo is at least 6 years old lol. It was one of those products that you think is not for your hair after you buy it. This time I was wrong :-) It worked just fine. My hair was super dirty. As for the condition of my hair...
