JULY 13th 2003 - Ive been trying to let my hair "be" lately and not fuss with it as much as I used to. Ive been wearing the wet, style n go (formerly shake n go) mostly for the summer. The diffuser attachment (5.99 at Sally's) has become my best friend when I dont want to leave the house with wet head. I found a neat Revlon brush (see products) that is great for detangling  (Big Lots 1.99)  Observations - I noticed that when I am out in the sun, my hair dries hard. I DO NOT like hard hair so I went to Sallys in search of a new moisturizing product to use when I'll be in the sun (mainly weekends). I found Organic Root Stimulator Olive Oil (see products). An "incredibly rich Oil Moisturizing Hair Lotion" with NO Petroleum or Mineral Oil. (YAY!!) I tried it on after rinsing with conditioner and I LOVE this product.It left my hair soft and brought out the texture nicely. My hair was was fluffy, just how I like it. Its a keeper 8.5 FL OZ 4.99. I must say that my Pink Oil Moisturizer is out the door. As much as I relied on it in the past, I always felt it was coating and not penetrating my hair. I could never use it to wear my hair out like the ORS Olive Oil because it be weighed my hair down. Updates - I revised my routine page. Out with the new in with the old. I had taken several pictures over the months and finally posted them in the Yahoo Folders. See the Braid Out, Twists Outs, and the new Shake N Go and Diffuser Folders in the Post Cut Album.
Organic Root Stimulator Olive Oil Moisturizing Hair Lotion. This is the first time I have find an oil moisturizer light enough to wear my hair "out." Usually oil moisturizer stretches out my texture. This one is great because it has no Mineral Oil or Petroleum. It is made with Coconut Oil and Olive Oil among other things. This will be in heavy use for the rest of the summer.

STYLES AT A GLANCE
LOOKS  I'VE WORN OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS .
Mainly Ive been wearing the wet, style and go this summer but when I get bored with that, I try different looks.
JUNE - Twist Out.
I twisted my hair in 12 sections at night and unraveled in the morning. It comes out fluffier when I use melted Shea Butter.

I use to wear this style all the time when I got bored with regular ponytails. I was recently inpsired to wear it again.

I applied Activator Gel and Oil. Then placed clips on the ends of my hair to reduce shrinkage. It dried lengthy.
