I think I need to post more which will help/force me to pay more attention to me hair. I will probably update this with my hair progress within the next week.

2010!!!
Whoa. I haven't posted since the end of November. I have been busy with school and more difficult classes, the CurlyNikki forum, Tumblr, and other forums and blogs. The last couple posts I did were just copy paste from the CN forum.

Sour Cream results
I left the sour cream on for 1 1/2 hours, and rinsed with conditioner 2 times. I don't really like the result. My hair was very thick and soft afterwards, but it lost a lot of it's color and shine. I'm glad I have henna waiting for me at home. It also made my hair easy to detangle, though. I think I'm going to stay away from sour cream treatments for a while unless I really feel the need.

Mistake, new stuff, and treatments
I just bought henna for Tuesday/Wednesday but I accidentally has it sent to my parent's house. AGGGGGHHH So I'll have to henna at home with like 10 people there. . . I wanted to do it right before I went home so I can let my PJ run wild at my beauty supply store in MD. And my mom wanted to see what the results look like. I haven't straightened my hair in a while so I'm going to either late tonight or Tuesday, cause I want to see how much my hair has grown since I cut it.
Later.........................
I am doing a EVCO, EVOO, Sour Cream treatment. I applied the sour cream like I would a relaxer. I was going to henna, but like I said I accidentally sent it to my 'rent's house so I wanted to try something different, since I'm gonna henna anyways in case it doesn't work. The only qualms I have with sour cream so far is the smell, and I applied it straight from the fridge so it was cold and my apartment is already 67 degree (waiting for Christmas to get a space heater). I'm going to keep it on for 1-2 hours and I'm going to straighten my hair after I wash it out. I would do a BnC, but I don't feel like waiting for it to dry and I want to have a hairstyle that I can guarantee will last for a week (I'm going home for Thanksgiving Wednesday to Sunday). My BnC and TnC are very selective when they want to last more than 2-3 days and I have 3 lil bros to wrestle with at home so. . .
4 month anniversary!
Saturday was my 4 month transitioning anniversary and to celebrate I treated myself to like 50 mini heath bars. I also am trying a EVCO, EVOO, Sour Cream deep treatment. I will post the results later.

TWILIGHT!!!
I SAW TWILIGHT!!!!
sorry for the random side note, but I never liked the series, I just got a little hooked last Thanksgiving with the first one (That's when I got around to seeing it cause I was never really interested). Sooo. . . Taylor Lautenenerrrrr (can't spell worth a thang). I approved all the shirtlessness. I do, I do, I dooooooo.
And I don't feel guilty for being attracted to his fine 17 yr old tail cause I'm only freshly 19.HAAHAAAAHA.
I thought the movie was OK, but there was so much annoyingness (I know for a fact that's not a word) with the writing, acting, and characters, not to say any names *cough*BELLLLLLAAAAAAAA/EDWARDDDDDD/ EVERYONEEEEEE *cough*. It was corny, but cute in a way.
My main beef with the movie was that there was NO EPIC BATTLE SCENE BETWEEN WOLFBOYZZZZ AND VAMPIIYANESS. I mean I would have greatly appreciated at least an epic battle between Jacob and Edward and then in the final seconds Wolfboy's claw goes in the air towards Edward and then it cuts off. That's a cliffhanger that would make me want to see the next one (even though I prolly will any ways )
I should write movies. . . . hmmm* that's a thought.
I wish I would have seen Precious too/instead.

Late flat twist results
Hair neglect :(
So my hair texture has been revealing itself more and more. It's completely different all over. I wish the texture all over my head was like the type 2 inches above my left ear. It's like a 3c,4a wavy texture and I love it. It's so easy to detangle and comb.
I have been neglecting my hair lately, so I wanted to get back into my as-normal-as-possible routine. I did a BnC with many many many many braids. It took longer, but I like the immediate outcome a lot.
(take note to the lovely vintage sweater I got for $5 because it was a sample version)
the shine, oh the shine! I found my 3 favs that work perfectly with my hair! and it only took 2 1/2 months.
the little blue thing in the bottom is a curler. I made that braid too big and it didn't dry.

New Hairdo
I am trying another version of a twist-out by doing flat twists against my head, and then braiding the ends, because they won't stay if I do twists.
I also washed my hair with baking soda for the first time. I used 1 cup of warm water and about a 1 1/2 tablespoons of baking soda. Some places I searched said to add enough water to make it into a paste and then apply to the scalp and massage, but I didn't think that would be effective for all the thick hair I have on my head. I then conditioned with Aussie Moist and wanted to keep it on for longer than usual, so I shaved and did my whole face routine in the shower. So far so good. I won't know if there is any build-up until I take my hair out tomorrow or Wednesday morning. I have a project to present in Italian, so I am nervous and I hope my hair turns out well.
Look at all that growth! This Saturday I will be 4 months transitioning.
I am so pumped to henna again! I'm like an addict. But I have to buy it first and I want to henna before I go home for Thanksgiving so my hair can be bangin' for all the fam.
So. . . . I got chocolate !!! (Heath bars!!!!) I have major PMS, so this is amazing. I can't find Nutella anywhere so I needed a fall back. Heath is my choco-bar of choice, Nutella is my spread of choice. Peanut butter? Naw Jam? puh-puh-puhlease Butter? Get outta here! Cream cheese? Not a chance! it's all about NUTELLA!!!
