I won The Anti Hair Slave's giveaway with Afrokinks!
They mailed me a bunch of goodies!
I got:
-Sizta 2 Sizta Amazing Hair Oil
-Sizta 2 Sizta Ultra Lavish Cleansing Phoo
-Sizta 2 Sizta Daily Oil Moisturizer
-Sizta 2 Sizta Moisture Packed Conditioner
-Sizta 2 Sizta Gentle Loc Cleanser
Note: Sizta 2 Sizta is a natural product line, and the oil moisturizer smells delish! No sulfates, no chemicals, which was just in the nick of time because it just so happened that I'm on the search for a new shampoo AND a daily moisturizer.
-Jessicurl Shea Butter Body Mousse in Citrus Lavender.
-Hair Therapy Wrap which is a turban with gel backs in it, that I can heat up, and wrap around my head for up to 30 minutes, and it'll stay heated while I relax in the bath or something.
Great haul! Thanks guys!
Reviews coming soon.

School Days
The humidity is still kicking my butt.
So I've gone back to braidouts, and buns. At least until the end of September, with the exception of Picture Day on the 23rd.
I've worn it straight or curly the first 2 weeks, but it just frizzes up, so I've given up for now.
P.S. I dropped out of bootcamp. Next year.

10 and a half weeks post ..
See what I'm dealing with? I dread wash days; they're the debil.
.. on the other hand ..
I'm sad that my summer's ending in less than 10 days .. because I'm going to miss the braidouts, although I do miss my straight hair.
Summer = Braidouts = <3

LHCF Bootcamp 2008
I signed up for Sessions 3 & 4 of LHCF Bootcamp, ending December .. 12th? I think, somewhere like that.
The rules are:
DC with every shampoo wash.
No trimming; dusting is allowed.
Protective [buns, braids, weaves] or Low-Manipulation [twistouts, braidouts, rollersets] Styles only.
No direct heat; hooded dryers okay.
I was already planning on doing this, with the exception of wearing my hair straight with a rollerwrap, and just not combing it until the next wash day.
This'll help keep me in line.
I get 2 heat passes; my punishment for breaking the rules will be no new products for a month.
Let the games begin!
There's a post below, too.

No Curls + Still Stretching + Cowashing Challenge
I didn't get the spiral curls this week; partly because of fearing a possible setback at the hands of the Dominicans, and partly because I started ordering my school clothes this week and got them shipped to my Dad's house.
I'm still stretching, and it's definitely easier now that I cowash in 2 braids, then just pin back.
The Cowashing Challenge is coming to an end in about 2 weeks, but I'm keeping it up for an extra few days before I get my Dominican Blowout for school.

Coconut Oil + Braidouts + ORS Packs
Due to the shortest layer on the left side of my hair being thinner and shorter from a wrapping mishap last Winter Break, I've quit bunning until further notice. I still get good length retention as long as I keep my ends moisturized, and I've been wearing braidouts everyday. I still cowash everyday, and if I don't happen to leave the house, I don't even undo the braids or take off my scarf.
I'll probably wear buns a COUPLE times a week when school starts back up, and I'll most likely go back to bunning from December 08 through February 08. I've been doing the lo-mani thing, only combing once a week on wash day, because this new growth is still killing me, and I'm also debating about the curls this week, because every little centimeter counts. We'll see.
----------
On another note, my aunt gave me a jar of pure, organic, unrefined coconut oil, because she had an extra gar. I can't wait to really use it, I've been keeping it in the fridge, and I'm PRAYING that when I pack it up to go back home at the end of the Summer, it won't spill in my bag. :[
I used a bit on one side of my hair today, it has a nice [not great] smell, and seemed to give a good shine. I'll keep you posted.
---------
It was a turning point today when I used 2 ORS packs on my dry hair, and that was mixed with a TAD of some other cheapie condish and EVOO. :[
My hair DRANK IT UP. I used to stretch using one on wet hair, so if I keep up applying it dry like a relaxer, I suspect I'll run through it.
