Happy Friday! In honor of Fridays, I’ve decided to do totally unnecessary posts that essentially are a wrap up of my week! Let’s go!
I started out my week by trying for 4 days to contact my barber, with no luck. I was in a crunch and I really wanted to look polished so against my best judgement I went to another barber. *Hangs Head in Shame* Long story short, I’ll be more explicit in another post but after being unsatisfied with the job the barber did, I went and allowed my barber to fix her error. I ended up with a severe case of razor burn.
More on Razor burn later

To say that we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, would be an understatement!
Last week, my baby sister and her BFF visited!

Since my sister loves my herbal infused oils, I made sure to mix her up a fresh batch! This time, I’m adding lavender for a beautiful scent!
I roller set my hair with perfect results! I’m going to at least make roller sets a bi-weekly thing!

The top photos are the results of my first time trying a roller set.

The bottom photo was taken on wash day, this past Monday.
Notible Differences between the Gel and Foam
- Homemade vs. Store Bought | I love making products at home! It’s simple and I get more bang for my buck.
- Natural vs. Artificial Ingredients| Because the gel is homemade, I’m able to verify that the ingredients are all natural, unlike the foam I purchased. I prefer natural products but I can stomach a few artificial ingredients every now and again.
- Both yielded a soft hold | What I like best about both products is that they each left me with a soft hold! The downside to the gel was the flaking, which means I go back to the drawing board with my gel recipe!
- Strand Smoothness | I plan to test this again, but at first look, the foam wins. I believe this is mainly due to the fact that I’d learned the proper way to roll the hair, from the first experience. In a future post, I will be writing about how I do my roller sets.
Have a great weekend!
