I had Monday and Tuesday off, so I guess there are a couple things newsworthy.
After six months, Terell has returned to the relaxer; he relaxed Tuesday, I beleive. It surprised me how contrite he was and honestly puzzled me, as he had vented to me this whole soliloquy about his acceptance of his hair shortly before. While not painstakingly shocking, it did have me thinking...
... is that why the relaxer is called the creamy crack? Will I eventually revert back to it?
I answered myself with a curt, "No." After nearly four months of being natural, I couldn't be anymore content...not to mention the hardships it took to reach this point herein. From the unnerving stares of deprecation from my own people; to the outright derision and disdain from my peers and even family members.
I've gone too far to slap a relaxer back onto my head. To me, that's just cowardice and while my hair is in cornrows now, I can resume my research. So far, I've learned oil is used a sealant for moisture; so I'm investing in Coconut oil. I cornrowed to allay the tension my puffs have been sustaining on my hair for the last two months or so and allow some new growth. Along this journey, I've come to the realization of my true hair type and texture, in the face of truisms that my family and the media promulgates. My head varies from beautiful, thick kinks, tight coils and corkscrews to fine curls.
I love Terell and I will support any choice he chooses to make. He assured he'll keep up with his regimen and preserve the health of his ends and I'm sure he will (=, under my watch.
Moreover, I'm still scaling the house for my camera charger. It's exasperating at most, since I have quite a few pictured updates. I'm off to my room now...

July
Happy 4th of July everyone, especially William and Marcine. Qhemet's sale is over: they've closed the store down for the next week until the large influx of orderes are processed and shipped. If you know me, you know well I managed to get what I could out of the sale. What'd I buy?
1 Burdock Root Butter Cream. I've been using its thicker counterpart, the Amla Olive Heavy Cream and since I've recently discovered my hair texture was fine and not thick as I first purported, I've now learned what consistencies mesh or conflict with my hair. Qhem's AOHC didn't absorb too quick into my strands, since it's so thick; so I haven't received noteworthy results. BRBC is thinner in consistency so I'm hoping for the best.
My AOHC will go to Terell, who's also growing his hair out. Fortunately, his hair's thicker.
2. Olive Honey Hydrating Balm: Qhem's site description claims it can be used to moisturize wet or dry hair. It's consistency is like honey, which is thick. I'm gambling here, really since I'm knowingly buying something that may not be effective on my hair but will try it, anyway. It sounded so tempting and now that it's getting hotter, I need the moisture.
3. Indian Macassar Conditioning Oil: A light, thin blend of oils in a 2oz bottle. I should've bought two, but the other can wait till Friday. I've heard of oil being utilized for moisture renitence and since I've been experiencing perpetual dryness, maybe a light oil may help. It has a thicker counterpart, the Castor & Moringa Softening Serum for those with thicker/coraser textures.
My purchase should be here in the next week or so but may not be doing a blog till the week after. I need a new camera charger-my wall charger managed to disappear strangely after the dining room was finished painting. If I find, it, expect an update. For now, I have work at 5 so I'm going to go relax. Whew!
Footnote: Qhemet Biologics is a reputable product line, made from natural ingredients that do not contain mineral oil, petroleum or other ingredients that can sustain enduring damage to curly, coily, kinky or wavy black hair.
