Hair talk series: Too much texture??

I'm sold to the Volume that texlaxed hair gives! 

I honestly think this texlaxed texture is so close to being natural. Which is my aim after all but where/when would the length come in?  Being texlaxed has its ups and downs especially choosing the texlaxed level you are fine with. Prior to being on a hair journey my hair never got straight relaxed after touch up so now I get it that I've always been a texlaxed head but I wanted more volume so I kept increasing the kinkyness left after touch up.

Natural Hair update: Chasing Bra Strap Length

Hey naturalistas! I was browsing through my old posts and found out that it's been a very long time since I gave an update on my sister's natural hair. The last time I posted an official length check pic here was in September 2015 so a recent length check  is overdue. Incase you were wondering if she went the relaxed route, no she's still strong in her natural hair game.

For length checks my sister doesn't really use a length check shirt.  We just pull the hair down to where ever it stops on her body and that's where she's at.  She is quite tall (a lot taller than me now) so reaching specific marks on her body will take quite some time.
Here's a comparison.

Product review: The Mane Choice Trio

Hey dearies! Hope all is well at your end!  I won The Mane Choice Trio which comprises of the easy on the curls detangling Shampoo and conditioner and the soft as can be 3 in 1 leave in from The Mane Choice Africa in an Instagram give away 3weeks ago and this post is more like a feedback and review of how these products worked on my mane.

The owner of the brand has an amazingly lush natural hair which she attributes to using products from her brand as well as her Manetabolism hair growth multivitamins. I follow both the owner (@courtneyadeleye) and the brand (@themanechoice and @themanechoiceafrica). The Mane Choice is quite a popular brand with so many reviews and testimonials of their products all over Instagram from their hair growth multivitamins to their crystal Orchid biotin infused styling gel... All great reviews. I have had my eyes on the Trio for sometime and when I saw the giveaway I was like... Finally, here's your chance! Lol

Natrol Biotin Review

Hey cuties :-) so this is post is a review on the first ever supplement I've had for my hair and nails. I got the Natrol biotin specifically for my nails but I'm not going to act like it doesn't also do good to the hair and skin as well.

I got the one of 5000 mcg and straw berry flavoured 

So I got the Natrol Biotin from olori online store and I got it in January before the prices of everything went up. I chose to start with the 5000 mcg and see how my body reacts to it before trying out the 10,000mcg. I started taking the supplement on the 28th of January and it lasted till the first week of April just some days after my Relaxer. It would have lasted the complete three months if I had not increased my dose to two tablets a day in the second month meaning I got to try out how 10,000mcg would react too and I tell you there was no pimples reaction whatsoever. I did make sure I drank up to 1.5litres of water a day though.
Here's my review...

How I style my hair: My most defined twist out!

Hi there! :-) So, I kept my hair in a top bun as seen in my previous  post for the entire week. I did take it down midweek to moisturise and seal then I put it back in the top bun.  For this week I decided to do a twist out. 

I started on a week old blowdried hair and I moisturised my hair lightly. The only setting product I used is Beautiful Textures Curl Control Defining pudding. 

My Styler for this Twist out. 

The Washday Experience: My bun is getting bigger! Plus CON VS ORS + Elasta Qp

Hey cuties :-)  I'm back with my washday posts. For this washday I followed my usual routine.  I did something I haven't done in a long time which is Prepoo in with Extra Virgin olive oil and I loved it. For some months I had used my Herbal Essences BYE bye breakage conditioner and I was lured into using it everywashday by the softness it gives my hair which allows easy finger detangling.  Nonetheless less I'll still have a bit of swaps so I use oil some wash days and conditioner some other washdays instead of a crazy product marathon lol. Here are the steps I followed for this washday:

Relaxer/Texlax Update and length check

Hey loves! This is actually a very late post a I am about 3 weeks post relaxer already and I apologise for that.

I resolved not to do long stretches this year  but I didn't know I would relax as early as 9weeks post. Actually the basis for relaxing this early is not the number of days I am post relaxer buy the amount of new growth I achieved within that time. I can tell u that I had not less than one and a half inches. Detangling my new growth was so starting to give me headaches.. Lol
