Black Friday....I came, I saw, I conquer....
Yesterday, I woke up like a woman on a mission. I wasn't going to be STOPPED.
I logged on at 2am in time for Darcy's Botanicals Black Friday Sale.
*deep breaths*
Not only was I able to purchase her glycerin-free avocado&wild plum twisting cream, the coconut and hibiscus oil, but because she wanted to testers for her new cream gel, I got that for free with my purchase!!!!!!!!!
Mmmmmm I love free stuff.
Anyway, when I got to work, I cracked my knuckles in preparation for Qhemet's Biologics Black Friday sale where I picked up not only my beloved BRBC and OHHB, but her new Moringa Tree Conditioning Ghee as well.
HOT DAMN.
But oh no, I wasn't done!!!!
My little sister is home from school, and I was shocked to see how much of her hair had broken off, so I made my way to Karen's Body Beautiful after work, to get her the Super Silky and Hair Butter for %30 off!
*twirls*
Oh man, can I tell you that I'm plotting on KBB after-Christmas sale? I got my eye on her body butters...ALL OF THEM.
Yesterday had to be the best Black Friday ever.
I feel complete.

This and that....
1.) My hair HATES protein. It was evident by how much hair I lost when I did my last protein treatment a few months ago.
2.) I re-braided my hair and was amazed at how many single strand knots I had.
3.) Rhassoul clay is my friend.
4.) Kinky twists are so convenient
5.) I've decided that I'm going to commit to wearing cornrows and twists instead of the braided/twists...my hair I've realized, loses its ever loving mind if I wear a style for more than a month
6.) I got my shopping list ready for Qhem's Black Friday Sale
7.) Avocado butter works wonders for my hair and skin....not a flake in sight
8.) Qhem's Black Friday sale...nuff said
9.) I can't wait to order the Magic Rake Seamless comb...YASSSSSS
10.) ZOYA BOGO!!!! I had almost 53 dollars worth of nail polishes on hold....I was being cheap and didn't want to spend the money because I *knew* Zoya was going to have some kind of promotion..and BOY DID THEY EVER! *twirls* I ordered all the polishes I wanted for 28 bucks!
Till I post again!

The search is over...
I think my search for a HG deep treatment is over. After trying so many deep treatments(Hairveda, Aubrey's Organics, Mozeke) and coming up empty, I think I've found the one.
I got this recipe from a post on Curlynikki.com
Homemade Rhassoul Hair Mask
- 1/4 to 1/3 cup of Rhassoul Clay
- Hot water
Optional add-ins make the mixture smoother and more slippery
- 1-2 tbs. of your favorite (I like grapeseed or EVOO)
- Plain Greek-style yogurt (2-4 oz)
- Honey (couple of tsp.)
- small container of banana baby food
How funny is that I had Rhassoul clay in my possession and never thought to use it as a deep conditioner?????? I followed the directions and put the paste in my hair for about 3 hours while I cleaned my room and Coco's cage.
When I rinsed the paste from my hair, I was simply AMAZED at how easy it was to run my fingers through the thickest part of my hair. It was like the tangles and knots disappeared!
My hair felt AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!! It was soft, moist, easy to detangle and I didn't lose much hair in the process.
I can't get over how great my hair felt afterwards....I've fallen in love!!!!!!
