I swear the time is flying by!  Where did it go????  I got those samples in the mail a week ago,but haven't used them.  I've been using Ojon shampoo,conditioner,oil,restorative spray and shine goop or whatever that banana smelling stuff is that they have!!!  lol Roll Eyes  I'm just very tired from crocheting for hours n end.  Sales are ok,I'd like better,but I can't be in the spa all the time to see what is going on.  I'm almost finished with another "Coming Hme" poncho.  I did this one in 3 days.  Having my hair up and out of the way is a super plus,too! 
I used Ojon deep treatment last nigh and scruchie'd the length,put on a Satin Sox and then washed and conditioned with Ojon this morning.  Hair feels ok,but not super.  I think I need to do a serious deep conditioning,acv and I'm due for henna and indigo.  I ordered that this morning.  More to tell later,it's late and I'm off to bed!!

Definately try it!  I've been using it on and off since they appeared on QVC aabout 2 years ago.  I love the smell,kind of like roasted coffee!!  It's so well worth the price.  You are a fellow ebayer,go on and check out the ojon they have there for less.  Brand new,not opened either.  Make sure though Smiley Wink

Well today was "henna and indigo day".  You really need another person to help you do this if you have longlocks.  Since there was no one around I decided to tackle this myself once again.  The walls did not wear any goop nor did the floor,I am happy to say! Shocked  It took an hour to get it all in though.  Of course I didn'thave any "Beauty Coil" so I had to use paper towels twisted up like snakes to keep it from dripping.  That did not work out so well.....Instead of keeping it in for 4 hours as I originally planned,I started rinsing it out after 2 1/2 hours.  I haven't checked with a "fine tooth comb" yet,but I think the application process went well.  Can't tell if I'll have dark brown,very dark brown or black hair yet.  I immediately put in some deep conditoner by JessieCurl and Ojon deep conditioning treatment.  It's been in for about 4 hours now and I'll rinse everything out within an hour.  This is an all day affair.  Hopefully I will only be doing this every 3 months.  Maybe I'll be lucky and do just the roots.

This time around I used 100 grams of henna and 200 grams of indigo.  I almost didn't make it.  I used 1 1/2 cups of vinegar in the henna and 2 cups of boiling water in the indigo.  I let the water sit about 4 minutes before mixing.  I also used e/o of lavender,rosemary,sage,and I think cedarwood.  Terping it really helps with the smell.  All in all the next time I thinkI'll add either black coffee or get some amaretto and mix it up.  It should take about 3 days for the color to penetrate well enough for me to know what I have.  Stay tuned!!!!

Well the color is nice,but I want darker!!  We'll see next time.  I do notice less fall out when I wide tooth comb and my hair just feels stronger,if that makes any sense!  lol
On a more serious note,my grandmother is still in the hospital since Wednesday,she still can't walk and I heard she has a bruise on her face from when she fell.  I want to know who picked her up and why wasn't anything said before she got to the hospital?  This happens everytime my mother goes a way to visit my aunt in NC.  She is coming home a day early to go to the hospital though.  She should be here tomorrow.  I haven't been to the hospital,but have bben getting updates from my brother.  I am planning on going when my mother gets back.  It stinks being disabled,I can't just hop on a bus or train to get to the hospital.  Oh well,that's the way it is.  Not gonna cry in my beer as they say!!  Any whoo now for some happier news.  My brother starts the NYC Fire Dept. Academy on Monday.  I am so proud of him.  He's been in the electrical field for 5 years and just got his MIJ (don't ask)  This is what he wants to do so we are all so proud and worried.  My sisiter hasn't said too much about it,but eventually I think she will.  More later!
