Sulfate Shampoos are useful??!

According to a video I seen by ORS according to one of the stylist she mentioned that people try to stay away Shampoos that contains Sodium Lauryl Sulfate in it. Since its known to strip the hair from moisture and tend to make the hair dry BUT the stylist went on to say "It's nothing wrong with using it as a clarifying shampoo", which is reasonable because what does a clarifying shampoo do?...strip all the oils, and other product buildup in the hair. 

Skin Care#1: Aloe Vera Face Mask

I know this is a "Hair" blog but I wanted to also share from time to time tips on taking care of the skin. Acne is something I faced since H.S. so even though my face maintained well for awhile last month I brokeout kinda bad. I watched a youtube video last week on using "Aloe Vera" along with Lemon Juice. Here's how it goes...

Texlaxing My Own Hair (First Experience)

Never thought I would ever do it but I did! I know I said it's good to go to a professional but I was having them "Sparatic moments" and I decided to do it myself. Of course I looked at videos before I did it and it turned out ok, I won't say I did the best job but long as I'm not baldheaded I'm happy. Would I do it again? Maybe...trying to save money and so far I'm not doing a bad job being my own hairdresser. Anyway here's what I did...

Lelee's Hairfinity Challenge 2013-2014

I just received my "Hairfinity" vitamins today and I'm excited to see the results after 30 days! Starting today Nov. 15, 2013 will be my starting point and Dec 15, 2013 will be my ending point for month#1. I'm deciding if I want to order them every month or not depending on the results after the 1st month. I'm making this challenge for myself but if anyone wants to do this challenge feel free to just make sure you have the "Hairfinity" vitamins for this challenge or it wouldn't be called "Hairfinity Challenge". Here is the challenge steps.

Relaxed/Texlaxed vs. Natural Hair...Really?!

I really wanted to post about this topic for awhile now but didn't get the chance to until now. Ok there are different types of avenues of "Hair Journeys" some people choose to go Natural (w/o no chemicals in the hair) growing out their natural texture hair. Others may want to continue or go Relaxed (chemical straightening of the hair) or Texlaxed ( chemical underprocessing of the hair). I know I've watched a few videos of relaxed/texlaxed and natural hair videos, I don't discriminate, I love watching any type of hair videos regardless, but sometimes I read the comments that some

Tips On Starting A Hair Journey

Starting a hair journey is something that you have made up in your mind to do and be determined to do in order for you to bring your damaged or unhealthy hair to its healthy state....

• RESEARCH: Now first thing you need to do is check out videos and do a little bit of research on products that are good for the hair.
• PLAN A REGIMEN: Think of a hair regimen that you can use throughout the week, which includes moisturizing & sealing, wash days, protective styles and products you will use.
• MOISTURIZE & SEAL: It's very important that you learn about moisturizing and sealing because it can definitely help in the growth of your hair. Oils are good for sealing (Jojoba oil, coconut oil, etc...)
• DEEP CONDITIONING: It's very important to DC at least once a week because it can help iin keeping the hair moisturized after washing and can help with healthy hair.
• PROTEIN TREATMENT: Depending if you are protein sensitive, protein treatment is good to use once a month which can help with shedding and breakage. Such as Hair Mayonnaise...
• PROTECTIVE STYLES: Choose some styles than can protect the ends of your hair from breakage such as braids, buns, weaves, or wigs. Whatever is right for you.
• SILK SCARFS: Very good to use for the hair to protect the hair from material that can cause hair breakage esp. when going to sleep.

*Please note that their maybe some trial and error during this process but that is all apart of learning about your hair during your helathy hair journey.

Hairfinity? Does It Work?

I've been hearing through the hair internet world about these hair vitamins called "Hairfinity" that promotes hair growth. I've seen some very good results even Lil Wayne's baby mama Toya Wright uses it and her hair is long. I'm at a point where I'm satisfied with the thickness of my hair but now I want my hair to gain some length. I washed my hair yesterday and my ends had some breakage and shedding I had to trim my ends. So right now I am still using my cousin's oil that she sent me I have to take a before pic to see if her oil works though I've already started using it. But since I cut my ends and it's kinda like I started over I will post a before pic and probably in like Dec I'll post an after photo,
just to see if I see a difference. Ok so back to "Hairfinity", I was checking out there website it shows it has Biotin, Vitamin C & D,
