Well......

Well the wig thing lasted for about a week, lol.  I got tired of all of that hair and the pressure that it was putting on my head.  But it wasn't all the hot under the wig because I wore it mostly at work and it's always so cold in the office.

Last Saturday I did a great little style and work it for the full week.  I braided the front and did little plaits in the back.  It was cute but it was a pain to take them out.  You have to be very careful when removing plaits.  It took about 2 hours to put them in and about 3 hours to take them out so I won't be doing that again anytime soon.

I went to the store today to but some more Elastra QP Olive Oil and Mango Butter Moisturizer and I saw the Jamaican Mango & Lime Locking Creme Wax and I though hummm, why don't you give this a try?  So I bought it. 



I came home shampooed and conditioned my hair and put big braids in to stretch it.  After about 2 hours I took out the big braids and did a few smaller braids in the front and put some 2 strand twists in the back.  I applied the wax to each section of my hair and started twisting.  After I finished I knew I had used too much.  Well you live and learn!

The first few ingredents are no no's in the natural community.  The first one is Petrolatum, the second is mineral oil and then Microcrystaline wax, D&S yellow#11, (and then the good stuff) Mango Butter, Lime Extract, Virgin Coconut Oil, Chlorophyll, Green Tea Extract and Fragrance.

I think I'm going to have a great twist out tomorrow.  I will post pictures tomorrow if its successful.  Next time I will not put as much product on my twists. 

Until then.....
