Vacation Hair Recap

Vacay was fantastic!  I needed a getaway and Puerto Rico was lovely.  The views, the food and the laid back atmosphere were very much appreciated.

So let’s get down to the hair.  I knew I didn’t want to have to fluff, twist or roll my hair while on vacation.  I decided that I would pay a little visit to a place I rarely go: the hairdresser.   I would normally like sitting back and getting my hair done but the truth is that many stylists are uncomfortable with natural kinky hair which means I have to instruct, suggest and sometimes just comb my hair out myself.  Hence, I’d rather do it myself most of the time.

I wanted a two-strand twist and cornrow combination.  I figured that with this hairstyle I could get my hair wet in the pool or beach and wash it when needed while maintaining a cute style.  At the salon, my hair was washed and deep conditioned for about 30 minutes under a heat cap with Miss Jessie’s Rapid Recovery Treatment.  My hair felt wonderfully soft after the DC.  The conditioner was rinsed out thoroughly and my hair was styled using Miss Jessie’s Baby Buttercream.   (I never tried this product before because it contains some mineral oil but my hair was shiny, frizz free and smelled good.)

I’ll post more pics of my hair after washing it and more on the products I used while I was away.  (I forgot to pack some things-  oopsy- so I didn’t have all of my stash with me.)  Stay tuned for part two.
