Product Review: Mixed Chick conditioners

 So at the suggestions of a co-worker who works at a beauty supply store, I decided to try the deep conditioner and the leave-in conditioner for a product line called "Mixed Chick". She brought me a sample pack so since I frequently wash my hair, I tried it the next morning. First the deep conditioner..... smelled great and felt great on my hair. It was an instant detangler...I wasn't even trying to detangle but I noticed my fingers were able to run through immediately. Once out the shower with hair rinsed, I applied the leave-in conditioner. I did not squeeze dry my hair first because in my experience with these products I know your hair should be as wet as possible. The leave-in is almost unscented but a nice thick cream base like I like. My curl definition was immediate. I hate too much shrinkage so i was kinda finger combing the curls straighter....but being a natural tightly coiled sistah it only did so much. Found out later after watching some videos that once applied completely I should not handle too much....to avoid the frizzies. I did start having some frizz problems in the very front of my hair but attributed that to being the area I played with the most. I will probably go ahead and buy this product, which average price is about $16 a bottle. As you can see from
the picture I retained curl definition into the day. These pictures were taken after about 3 hours. According to the website, you are free to touch and style as much as you want after your hair is completely dry. At the end of the day my hair is still pretty much soft and curly with a few "frozen" curls. I will use this product again for my shake and go days.

Gray Areas...

I'm experiencing "grey areas" in my life right now. Yes I am still separated and not divorced. Yes I still technically have a live-in boyfriend and a husband. And yes they both want to be a major part of my life. And unfortunately, I want to be a part of both of their lives but realize that can't happen. Initial sparks wear out and reality sets in..... just in my case sparks can go on a long time usually after sexual and emotional connections have gotten way too deep.  Right now I'm taking the time to redefine love in my life. Love means something different to each person. I realize in talking to different friends on a day-to-day basis...that we all view relationships differently.  Some women think that as long as he's a provider, they can put up with anything. To me money is not everything, what about the desire to be in your partner's presence?  What about having that indescribable feeling when you get that hug at the end of the day? What about looking f...

Nothing Going On.....Nothing going down.

Long and short of it....I'm stuck with weight loss. Could be I'm not pushing myself enough...could be I'm still over-portioned....could be my metabolism... Could, Would, Should. UGH. I read alot of blogs and websites boasting people that follow some slight modification for one week and lose over 5lbs....I've never experienced that. Even in the beginning, my loss has never been over 2lbs at a time. Very frustrating because I've made alot of changes in my physical activities and eating habits. I've even helped others with their plan. Ugh. Not discouraged enough to give up but I am discouraged. I just don't want to feel like I have to give up every single thing I enjoy in life. oh well....Sunshyne Out.

My curl exactly!!

Look at this.... I'm hold ing up a strand of my own hair and a strand of weave.... can't tell can you? Nope...this hair is an exact match of my natural hair... No one can ever tell unless I tell them..it's hilarious. I love it because my hair is very thick but not as full as I would like it to be so sometimes I add in a track or two to "help" me out. I've let alot of black grow in....ALOT... lol. And it's darker than the 1b/30 weave... it's been so long since I've seen my roots in their natural stage that I just didn't even realize my hair is really black...not off black... jet black.. I love it. Thought about dying the rest but kinda feeling this.
