September - December

I had to go to a gala the other night and this time I wanted to do the silk press. I detangled my cornrows then washed my hair in 8 seconds. Made sure to load up on heat protectant cuz I was going to the salon 🤧 (she's actually the lady who was doing my hair while I was permed; she relaxed it for my Communion).

I made sure to push for her to do my hair with protectant the entire time (last time she did it, she didn't use the spray at all and I ended up with some damage to the back). We used the blowdryer and flatiron I had just bought the last time.

Did also get a good professional trim, which cleaned up any bits I missed but not too much.

I wanted to go for a type of updo, definitely with my fav little two strands out, and ended up with a half up since I get bad headaches from tension. The hairdresser curled my hair afterwards.

They held great to get home and ready. I pulled on them a bit then re-sprayed GOT2BE freeze gel spray for more hold. I had no problems all night (total from the salon to when I went back home for the night: ~8)

Before/at the gala:

After the gala:

It was everything I envisioned! Loved this look 😩 I don't mind the curls falling from this point and if water or rain doesn't tempt me, I might hold the press all week.

If anyone is curious about how long my hair actually is, here's some photos.

Rice water, biotin, aloe gel and some good hair oils have treated me very well. Very very well.
