Mini 3 Month Update...(No Relaxer)


I decided not to get a relaxer this time. Man I had the Africans take down my braids but you know they don't comb out the knots for you. So I let the conditioner sit overnight to loosen the knots. The next morning I had a TIME trying to comb them down. It took m
e from like 10 am till 1am with 3 breaks! I had to use a safety pin. I will definitely be incorporating that into my reggie for undoing the knots. Anyway this time I only kept my braids in for 3 months because I wanted to be home for my b-day on the 20th. This is the results of using Mega-tek for 3 months! Remember I did not get a relaxer. I went to the salon and let her flat iron it for me. It looks like my hair is trying to thicken up slowly. Sorry the pictures are kinda blurry but I 4got my charger for my camera so I had to use the web cam.



Here is a quick flashback in case you haven't been
following my progress. Hard work pays off!

I Got Body Makeup and it Covered My Black Spots!

So I finally got the body makeup done to cover my back. It looks great! She also did my chest area. The process seemed so easy that you can do it yourself. To purchase the equipment it's only $300 or something but I rather her to it because her work is amazing. She did a color match on me and took an airbrush to spray it on. Let me tell you the lady did her thing with the color match. I am so happy that for a couple of days I can wear my back out and not feel insecure. It's crazy the things that we do! Oh she also did my chest area. If you all would like to see it hit me as a PM on LHCF or BHM and I will send them. Here are the pictures of my body makeup. Let me know what you think.

Body Makeup


OMG, one of my coworkers found this site! I am not sure if you guys can see the difference in the girls back. See I have those black spots on my back that I am always editing out in my pictures so when she ran across this site I was jumping for joy! I am going to call them and see how much they charge. Here is the ink for the site:


ETA: Okay, I finally called her and she is going to charge me $280 to airbrush my back and chest. I made my appointment for the 22 March so I will post more pictures then. She seems really nice. Here is what I copied and pasted from her email: I have been doing airbrush make up since 1992, and have about 100 or more students. I am the only one around that does airbrush body make up the way I do. People fly in from all over the country, and even Canada and Japan, to get a custom color matches and learn how to do their own airbrush make up. I just got back from the British Virgin Islands, where I did all the contestants in the Miss Caribbean beauty pageant . I did all their body make up and face make up as well. They looked great All the judges saw the girls at the pre judging interviews. The girls looked horrible, because they had a lot of ugly tattoos, and they had scars and scrapes and scratches from falling off of go carts when they were taping the activities the girls were doing together to bond before the pageant. Anyway, the judges couldn't;t believe how different the girls looked and how flawless they were the night of the pageant. I also did their face make up, and they loved it too. Everyone loves airbrushed make up.

Stocking Headband...


I was about to throw away a old stocking and something said to tie it around your braids. I actually liked it. I will be using this when I go on R&R to cover my new growth since I probably wont be wearing a hat.

Random New Growth Shot....


I know you guys are tired of the new growth shots but I can't wait to take these things out and see if my hair grew at least an inch!

Growth Check: Back Strand






Here are some strand updates for my hair in the back. This is a lil growth from my trim. My ends are looking a lil thin. Hopefully that's not the case. I will see once I take my braids down in March.
