HAPPY NEW YEARS - January 1, 2012

I have posted several December Blogs. I want this to be my goal Blog set in STONE. LOL

Body wise - I am going to continue doing my Zumba, Jillian Get Ripped, WIi Fit exclusively.

I wills stop the IFIT program again until it warms up.

New Goal will be 115 so I could start with heavier weights for toning, which will cause me to gain on the scale. no more then 120.

HAIR GOALS: My Plan is to NOT relax for 2012. I am going to trim back every 3rd month. March, JUNE, September, & December. Trims will be about 1/2 inch. Self trimming.

I want to wish every one a joyous New Years :) Be Safe.

Tisha Outre 12/29/2011

My first wash after the Madden(matting)2011 went well.

I parted my hair from behind ear , to behind ear pulled forward braided the ends, put a hair elastic on it and for the back I bought it the side and put an elastic band on it.

I washed it first with Aphogee Shampoo for damaged hair :)
So much mook came out my hair ewwwww, guess I haven't used a sulphate shampoo in a minute it was in need of some type of stripping.

I rinsed then washed my hair with Wen Fig 2 times.

I rinsed then applied Nexxus Emergencee for 20 minutes. Rinsed and applied Alter Ego on my roots, and ends then applied Proclaim Hydrating masque to my ends. Steamed it in for 15 minutes, then let it sit for 1 hour.

Rinsed it out put in my Dudley's PCA, Aphogee Green Tea, and Buriti Oil.
Sat under the dryer for 10 minutes, blow dried the rest out. Applied Kerapro elixar.

Parted off a slight bang. Gathered my hair in a low ponytail, braided it up. Applied the Elastic Band at the tip. Rolled it in a oval bun, then used my Goody UP DO maker as a bobby pin :) I love this thing. It is huge and I only need one instead of like 100000000 bobby pins LOL

I then put on my new Favorite half wig but Outre "TISHA" :)

I enjoyed her hope you do too :)

My hair felt great after washing, other then my scalp being extremely sore. :(
At the washing point my hair was so sore, I thought it was going to be sores in it but nothing but pain and a little redness. :/

My hair felt very strong afterwards. My plan is to do this again in 2 weeks. Nothing different. I will be doing half wigs and pony tails until........................

December to remember 2011 - SET BACK

So being sick has caused all sorts of problems.

My crafts are off, my Holiday decorations are nil and my Christmas cards aren't even out. WIll do that later today and only about 6 cards going out instead of my usual 24. :/

HUH, I tried prepooing on dry hair for a second time. This time I was very sick. I just knew my scalp was itchy. I prepooed on dry hair, was tired and slept in it over night. Or tried to sleep. I tossed and turned all night long. Scratched my head.....

Next evening (I was winded during the morning) I went to wash my hair and it was a matted mess, :( From the roots to the middle, the ends were the only thing not matted. I detangled and the mat moved from the roots/middle to the ends and in my hands. My hair is now 2/3rds less then what I started the year off with. I am super upset.

I know being upset won't change anything. I am giving myself a perscription of Nexxus Emergencee every 2 weeks. DRC as needed. Back pony with 2 bands and covered with a half wig. Of course I will do all my Deep conditioning and leave in's as well.

I won't be buying but maybe 6 items for 2012. I don't want to buy anymore hair supplies until the I have went through the ones I have. I say 6 because I might still need gels and styling products.

I will be washing my hair every 1-2 weeks now. It really needs to be left ALONE!

I figure the less hair I lose due to manipulation maybe I can get back some of my bulk.
I can't believe what happened to me.>..... I know I am harping on it.

I saw another LHCF sister and was kinda embarrassed due to my thin strands. She was nice and said nice things to make me feel better. Inside I was like dying. LOL

Anywho, I will take a picture next time I wash my hair, I won't post it until May, then I will post Mays pic along side it. My new picture taking will be January, May, December.

I will blog my Repair of 2012 Journey every 4 months.

4 weeks left update - November 30, 2011

With only a little over 4 weeks left not too much is going on.

I started a new work out program Jillian Ripped in 30. I need to go do it now, YIKES, she is working my but out. I am 119.9 lbs I need to tone up my abs and arms and I'd be one happy camper. :)

I don't want to lose anymore weight, GOSH I don't want to be 98 lbs again. I don't want that. I like a little meat on my bones LOL

My hair was in braids for 3 weeks, I took it out Sunday. My edges feel dry. I am going to do an intense moisturized program this week. Especially since I am going back up in braids and I am doing a DRC-28 treatment this week. I will steam in an oil treatment & alter ego mix.

I am going to leave those braids in for 3 weeks then leave it out a week, so December 25th I am breaking my hair down washing DEEP conditioning it because I am going to flat iron my hair or do a Curlformer rod set. I think I'd rather straight so I can take the end of the year pictures. :) My pics will be up by January 1st hopefully no later then January 31st 2012. I see no reason why it can't be up by January 1st though :)

Hair Update - November 8, 2011

Hiyah!

I took my five week old braids down 2 sundays ago.

I had bumps which I have never had in my life :( , They were big and gross.

I think a few strands were being pulled in a weird direction and caused this.

I washed my hair 3 times with WEN FIG, APhogee 2 minute for 20, and Alter Ego for 30 minutes under my Self Heating Cap. I twisted it up into a bun and called it a day.

On November 6, 2011 - I washed my hair once with WEN Fig, Used Porosity Control for 1 minute, Rinsed. I applied DRC-28 to my hair for 25 minutes and sat under the dryer, Rinsed, Applied Alter Ego Garlic Conditioner to my hair, then applied Proclaim Hydrating Masque on top of it. I sat under the steamer for 30 minutes. I haven't steamed in so long, My hair thanked me.

I applied Buriti Oil sat under the dryer let it dry and then Tangle Teezed it through, blow dried, then applied Wen Fig Oil. Yummy, My hair was airy and flowy.

I then parted and braided it up! My hair feels awesome. Healthy and it definitely grew. LOL

I have started taking my vitamins which I am only taking because I did purchase them and I hate waste :( so Will be taking these vitamins. Nioxin *which doesn't work by the way IMHO!

Oh well, My plans are as follows:

Wig it up 3 weeks at a time -

Leave it out for one week

Wig up again 3 weeks and continue the cycle.

Steam my hair once every 8 weeks with Alter Ego Garlic Conditioner and Proclaim Hydrating Masque Mix

DRC once every 8 weeks

I still use Wen to clean my hair. :) I have no issues with it.

I am expecting for 2012- 2 trims and 2 dustings to happen.

I want to use up lots of products I have only purchased the WEN Ginger Pumpkin (3) so I haven't really been investing in much.

I am giving away product

Selling other product

So go figure! My stash should be down eventually :)

I HAVE BEEN BAD BAD BAD with my hair. I just don't find time for it anymore. It is braided up into a beehive and I have been rocking my wigs that I adore right now. Can't tell me nothing. LOL I am not due to come out of it completely until April 2012 and rock that until July 2012 which isn't long then I am up in half wigs until it gets cool and back up into wigs.

Products products products - I HAVEN't Bought really anything new product wise other then WEN PUMPKIN yep you know I couldn't pass that up. If he comes out with a christmas brand I will scoop that up too.

I am excited to see all the reveals on LHCF. I am like OMG my sisters are revealing all that luscious hair. LOL, yet mean while Mine is up in it's braids. I won't do my reveal most likely until April or JUNE~ I know I know. I just don't want to mess with my time line. I get a fresh relaxer in April and in June is when most people half their reveals.

I have been going through a lot. IRENE the hurricane took part of my house from me. Lots of mold and walls had to be gutted and replaced, my one year old washing machine and dryer died as a result of high waters. So I have been doing a lot and trying to keep sane :)

God Bless and have a good one!
