Thinking Out Loud Thursday - TOLT *18*

Thinking Out Loud

• I am so in love with my hair right now!!
• Hopefully I will have the video for this style up Friday or Saturday. I still have to finish editing and take better pics of the style.
• My color washes out every time I wash my hair but it is still super vibrant!
• I really, really, REALLY..... want to go blonde!! And soon! Will do for one of my next styles.
• I want to make an order for some beautiful virgin hair and ombre it. I'm thinking Beyonce big beautiful blonde curls! It should look awesome!
• I am still looking for a good hair vendor with amazing quality but not bank breaking.
• I am always looking for the best deal possible.
• Yesterday was my Birthday!! Yay!!
• Doing laundry today and I found $15, Son!
• I absolutely can't wait for the HTC One to come out!! A few more months and it will be MINE!!
• I want to get a DSLR camera like yesterday... But I will probably settle for the sony NEX depending on the image quality.
• I have been looking at the NEX online but still haven't had the chance to go to the camera to play with it. I will most likely get either the F3 or the 7.
• Why do they have to be so damn expensive!!
• Currently watching Deception. Gotta Love Goldie Hawn movies!
• I need to post more often. Hopefully things in my life will slow down at least a little so that I cna find time and inspiration to record and blog.
• Favorite shows of the month! Spartacus, Scandal, & The Walking Dead.
• I havent been following Shameless, House of Lies, or Californication like I did last season. I will catch up later.

Hair Diary *14* - Henna Treatment

I did a simple Henna Treatment to prep my hair for my next style. I kept forgetting to do it! I have been meaning to for a while, along with a protein treatment. So I decided to do the Henna now and then do the protein when I take out my next style.

Here is the video:

For the Henna mix, I kept it very simple. I only used vinegar, a little oil, honey and Suave shea almond conditioner.

In the past, I have used many other things in my mix, my favorite ingredient being plain yogurt. When I add that to my mix my hair always came out super soft and beautiful. I plan on doing my henna treatments every month. I am so happy I found that little indian shop. Now I know where I can find my henna locally! Yay!!

Thinking Out Loud

• I have had so much going on its not even funny.
• I have been doing the lace wig for a while and falling in love with it all over again.
• I want to do my mohawk sewin this week, before my birthday next week. :)
• I have not a single clue why I have been so obsessed with weaves lately. I have a bunch of ideas on style I want to do in the future.
• Finally got my Marine Collagen from Vitamin Shoppe the other day!! It was way late coming in because of the storm a few weeks ago.
• I need to record a video on my vitamins. Maybe do one on all the things that I recommend to people the most.

• So im getting offline so I can record my next few videos to post. :)

Mixing Henna and a Freehand Henna Tattoo

To do a Henna Tattoo my mix is very simple. I only add an acid, either vinegar or lemon juice, and honey! Sometimes I add a little tee tree oil to make the stain come in darker.
I like to freehand my henna tattoos. I ended up covering my entire hand with the henna design, however I did not get a chance to take a pic.

To help the stain set in better, I wrapped my hand in tissue and then in saran wrap overnight. My henna tattoo lasted me for a few weeks and looked amazing...

Im still confused why I did not take pictures.. lol

Hair Diary *13* - Back to the Lace!

I took down the last style about 2 weeks ago and since then I have been wearing my lace wig everyday.  I figured it would be a good option since I do not want to wear my hair out or even in a style that I would have to redo often. I have my hair braided underneath the wig into four cornrows.

 

At night I take the wig off and wear a silk scarf to bed.

Every 3-4 days I have been taking down the braids and deep conditioning. Every 2-3 days I have been applying my sulfur oil to my scalp and massaging in really well.

When my hair was thicker I wouldnt have been able to get away with only 4 braids under a wig. I would have to get really creative with braid patterns to get my hair to lay down as flat as possible.

Hopefully I will be having that problem again, sooner rather than later... lol


I wash the wig itself every few days with a light conditioner. If I feel like it has buildup I do shampoo with either a clarifying or moisturizing shampoo and then deep condition with a light conditioner. I use a silicone/oil that I mixed up on the hair and that gives it a really nice sheen and smoothes the flyaways.

I really love my lace wig. She is definitely a life saver at times when I cant or dont want to wear my own hair but need a quick and presentable style. I want to get another one soon and do some beyonce type curls. Big blonde bouncy Sexy curls!! Maybe will be my purchase next month.

I have been trying to come up with a good hairstyle to wear next and I am thinking I want to do another mohawk! I still have the hair I used for my pink and purple mohawk for New Years 2012 and the hair still looks great!

I'm thinking of adding that, maybe bleaching it out a little more so it can be a little lighter because I kinda really want to go blonde. I have been talking about doing blonde for a few months so I think it is definitely time.

I have to rinse out the pink and purple first. I also want to color it Rhianna red, so I think that it will be a constantly changing hairstyle when I do it. I will probably put it in next week for my birthday!! Yay!
