See … what had happened was … LOL! I’ve been a little MIA on the hair posts front because I was on vacation from Saturday through Wednesday. Also, my hair was pretty much the same! The TnC held up really well from Saturday through Monday and I didn’t do much to it either. I put it in a high, pineapple ponytail using a Goody Ouchless elastic headband wrapped twice at night and wore a satin bonnet. Of course, I also travelled with my satin pillowcase and used that too ;). When I worked out, I wore the same pinapple with the Dri Fit headband. In the morning, I released the ponytail and used a little Wonder Curl Butter Than Love on my edges and smoothed down the length with some EVOO mixed with JBCO.
Monday … pre-emergency run to Benetton’s 50% off storewide sale for a sweater, hat and mittens! Brrrrr!
On Tuesday, it was starting to look a little wild, so I put it in a messy bun using Goody Spin Pins. And by messy, I don’t mean the bun, I mean the edges! Woof! I had noooo gel! LOL! So, I tried to use a headband to get it to lay down a little. It pseudo worked, but not really (no pics).
So, here are a few pictures of the MLK Jr. Memorial that we visited on Monday. It was very nice and there were a decent amount of people, but it wasn’t crazy. I would love to go back when the cherry blossoms are blooming or on a nice balmy, summer day!

Love the hair. Glad to see you enjoyed the MLK memorial your pics are great. The hubby and I went to to check it out last year and I must say it was an empowering experience.

I am waiting until spring break to go. Hopefully I will get to see some cherry blossoms then. Your hair looks great, I see the take down wasn’t that bad at all.

Thanks for the kind words ladies! I was really happy that I got a chance to see the Memorial and can’t wait to go back when it’s warmer to spend some time in that whole plaza!
Miche’al … are you kidding?!?! It was HORRENDOUS!!! LOL! But, as nightmarish as the 20 hour process was to remove it, my hair doesn’t seem to have sustained any/much damage:). It actually does look and feel great! I’m thinking I may not need to deep condition as often as I have been as my shedding and breakage seem almost non-existent this week, yet my hair feels soft and nice! I’m thinking I may experiment with shorter bi-weekly (once every two weeks) DCs for the next couple of months and see what happens!

I’ve never used castor oil on its own Lauren, but I have some that I’ve added to my kimmaytube leave-in, maybe once. It’s a lot thicker and stickier than JBCO. Other than that, I couldn’t tell you the difference. Here is a post I did on JBCO and my love of it back in October though:)!
