| Monday, January 20, 2003 (MLK Day -Observed) 2:00am - Okay, It's late and I am still up updating my website.(Making up for lost time I guess.)I washed my hair yesterday with The Roots Shea Butter Shampoo and Conditoned with Lustrasilk Super Detangling Cholesteral Conditioner. I was planning on twisting it myself but instead I went over to my sister's house armed with my shea butter and let my neice cornrow the front. I am hoping the style will be easier as I plan to get back into my gym routine this week. I twisted the back and plan to wear a twist out style tomorrow..well later on today. |

Thursday I wore a bun and today, I just rinsed with conditioner, applied my curl activator and oil and went. It is easy maintenace. I only went to the gym one day this week so I cant weigh that in yet. |

| FRIDAY 1-31-03 I wore a bun/ponytail for most of the week but today I decided to "let it out" I rinsed with Suave Naturals Chamomile Conditioner, then added SSLD to damp hair. (I found the SSLD in the back of my cabinet ;O)) |

| Tuesday 02-18-03 My BF and I left for Reno on Thursday, 2-13-03. I decided to try the flat twists for the 8 hour drive. I melted my shea butter and added olive oil and a dab of honey. I twisted my hair back in 6 large twists. The twists looked horrible when I finished but the resulting flat twist out faired well for the four day trip. I even wore it snowboarding. I'll have to download that picture. |
