Yesterday I used the Redken Rescue Force treatment on my hair and it really left it feeling wonderful! Grin

I've also been itching to straighten my hair, but I can't come to terms with how much it will damage my hair if I use my straightening iron even once! I have a Chi straightener but I can still feel the damage every time. Its funny that not that long a go I used to *swear* by my straightener!!

My hair is feeling kind of blah Undecided

It is currently up in a big curly bun thing and I don't feel like touching it.
The curls are def. coming out though! I'm just having issues with frizz and the bottom layer. I'm not using any gel at all (too heavy for my hair) instead I just use curl cream & sometimes mousse. I've been frantically searching the pages of naturallycurly.com, but still haven't found any hair routines or "curly cocktails" I like... I guess it just has to be trial & error Roll Eyes

Bought some new products today!! Cheesy

I've never tried Nexxus before, so we will see what happens!!!

SLEEKTRESS
sumptuous smoothing shampoo
When frizz and flyaways seem to be here to stay—regardless of the weather and your hairstyle—it’s time to pull the ultimate smooth move. This ultra-gentle shampoo gently cleanses while smoothing and moisturizing hair to leave it soft, manageable, shiny, and sleek.

Humectress
ultimate moisturizing conditioner
Dryness, damage, and breakage don’t stand a chance when faced with this lushly textured and elegantly scented daily treat for your hair that restores its elasticity, resilience, and crucial moisture balance.

Emergencée
strengthening polymeric reconstructor
When dried, fried, and damaged don’t even begin to describe the state of your strands, it’s time to declare a state of Emergencée. This intensive therapy helps reduce breakage and smoothes damaged cuticles and split ends when used in combination with Therappe® luxury moisturizing shampoo and Humectress® ultimate moisturizing conditioner.

I got all the info from the website.. www.nexxus.com

CurlGirl:I loved them! And the smell was amazing!!

I used all 3 products this morning and I was very pleased:)
The emergencee product was AMAZING. My only complaint is that the conditioner didn't make my hair as soft as I would like.. but I think it really might just be the condition of my hair right now. I think from using mane&tail so regularly (and I was using Herbal Essences for CO) added a lot of build up and dried out my hair a little bit. Its been so tangely lately, and I've had a lot of shedding. Hopefully using this emergencee product will help my hair! Grin

my hair was feeling very greasy today... like build up greasy Undecided

I'm guessing this is because I did a hot oil treatment & used the emergencee product two times this week. Shocked

I read on the box today that you should only use the emergencee product once a week. Lips Sealed

oops!!
I wonder if this will be bad for my hair?

anyways had to shampoo again today... its still air drying. my hair is pretty thick.. it can take 4 hours to completely air dry. unless I'm outside, then it is much faster! Cool

I'm trying out rag curls tonight! Grin

I started with my hair about 3/4 dry. I roughly divided my hair into 6 sections and wrapped sections around rolled up, 3''x4'' pieces of towel. the ends of the towel weren't long enough to tie to I had to use hair ties to secure the ends. Wink

This is my first "test" with rag curls, so we'll see what happens!

I'm working on a pic, give me a sec Shocked

the re-emergence of my curls has made life so much easier:)

My styling routine goes like this:
1. Comb through leave-in conditioner
2. Add Curl Cream
3. Scrunch and blow-dry for 30-40 seconds
4. While hair is still damp I pull a small section from the middle front of my hair (next to the forehead) and pin it back with bobby pins. This is sort of the "faux hawk" if anyone knows what i mean;)
5. Air dry
6. Love the results Grin
