Yesterday I broke free from my 3/4th wig (which I am going to miss). I took down my braids last night, detangled my hair and decided to prepoo over night. For my prepoo, I used Youtuber's MrsDoingMe2011 method with the products I had in my home:
Pre Poo:
1 tablespoon of Coconut Oil
1 tablespoon of Sweet Almond Oil
1 tablespoon of Jojoba Oil
10 drops of Peppermint Oil
VO5 Moisture Milks Conditioner
I mixed the products in a paper bowl and then applied it to my hair in four sections (one in the back, two on the sides, one at the top/front). I placed the sectioned hair into two strand twists, put on my shower cap, head scarf, and my bonnet before going to sleep.
This morning, my boyfriend was kind enough to wash and condition my hair:
Products Used:
Shampoo: Aphogee Deep Moisture Shampoo
Conditioner: Aphogee 2 Step Protein Treatment
My boyfriend said that the 2 Step left my hair really soft as he applied it to my hair and when he washed it out!!!
I let my hair air dry for about 45 minutes (my sister wanted her hair done- see separate post) then I applied my leave in's, heat protectant, and blow dried my hair.
Products Used:
Leave In: Cantu Shea Butter
Leave In: Herbal Essences Long Term Relationship
Heat Protectant: Organic Root Stimulator Heat Protectant
I will be bunning or doing updo's this week. On Saturday I plan on getting Micro Braids which I hope will last me two months.
Note: All products mentioned was purchased with my own money. I am in no way affiliated with any company.

Caruso Steam Rollers on Weave
Hello!
So...When I came home from work yesterday I wanted to do something different with my 3/4th wig. Before I installed the hair, I read somewhere, and saved it as a note in my Blackberry, that the hair (Premium Too) should be kept straight, heat free, and free of products. Did I listen? NO. I totally forgot. After I washed the hair, not only did I use a blow dryer and flat ironed the hair, but I used Heat Protectant. Since I changed my phone last week, I just so happened to stumble across the note I had regarding premium too hair and hoped that I had not messed the hair up.
Anyway, back to yesterday. So when I came home from work, I wanted to add some curls to the hair. So I dug out my Caruso Steam Rollers, which I have had for about 6 months, and only used them once. I set up the base in the bathroom, and gathered about ten large/extra large rollers. I placed the rollers on the steamer for about 10-15 seconds which gave me time to section my hair and detangle. In no particular order, I rolled my hair and the weave in the rollers and also placed the roller cap on the steamer for a few seconds.
I let the rollers stay in my hair for about 30 to 45 minutes (I was playing on the x-box and lost track of time) and then took them out. I pin curled my hair for the night and took them down in the morning.

My 3/4th Wig
So I have been debating as to what to do with my hair. I've thought about a sew in, box braids, cornrows, and just letting my hair stay in it's natural state.
I created my first L-part wig sometime last month but did not wear it. When I decided to try it out, the wig did not fit me right, and I hated the way it looked with the L-part. So I decided that I was going to remake the wig into a U-part or 3/4th Wig.
When I did the L-Part wig, I used Sensational Premium Too Human Hair, Yaki Natural in 12 inches color 2. I dyed the hair using Clairol's Beautiful Collection in color Darkest Brown, and then I blow dried the hair. I proceeded to sew the hair onto a dome cap (from Sally's) which my foam head mannequin was wearing.
I had to remove the already sewn in hair from the dome cap and sewed it on a weaving cap. After I was done, I sewed in hair clips- two in the front and one in the back.

While it was an L-part wig, I flat ironed the hair and pin curled it.
After the 3/4th wig was completed, I proceeded to braiding my hair. I left out about two inches wide, three inches in from the top of my head, and about an inch of my edges on both sides of my hair. Before braiding my hair I moisturized my hair with ORS Moisturizing Hair Lotion and sealed with Sweet Almond Oil with a few drops of Peppermint Oil.
I am all set and ready for work tomorrow!!

My Hair Regimen
This is my proposed hair regimen. I say proposed because I plan on having my hair braided and weave for the most part of the year.
Daily: Moisturize and Seal
I mostly do this in the morning as I am styling my hair for the day. Depending on how my hair feels I may moisturize and seal at night as well.
Moisturizers: Organic Root Stimulator (Fave), Herbal Essences Long Term Relationship, Neutrogena Triple Moisture Leave In, Elasta QP Olive Oil and Mango Butter
Seal with Oil: Sweet Almond Oil with a few drops of Peppermint Oil, Coconut Oil
Nightly: Moisturize and Seal (optional), Scalp Massages,
I wrap my hair up for the night with a satin scarf and my bonnet.
Weekly/ Bi-Weekly: Wash my hair
I'll wash and condition my hair, and I usually deep condition my hair without heat for no less than 30 minutes. With heat about 15-20 minutes.
After deep conditioning I apply leave in's and allow my hair to dry about 65% before using my hand blow dryer on low heat.
If I am in the mood, I will practice roller setting and sitting under the dryer for about 1hr and 30 minutes.
