We don't do emaciated thin ends around here. So, on the right hand, side, hey guys, welcome back, welcome back, what's going on subbies and what's crackalackin newbies, that's anybody! Perhaps maybe checking me out. That means taking a lookie little checking me out. Maybe for the first time, maybe for the second - it don't even matter. I don't really count. None of us do. I just want my subbies and newbies to come on in come on in come on in okay. So today you came on a good day. Yes, today. Well, we already know what's going on, if you didn't read the title of the video, i don't know why you wouldn't, but just in case you know things happen today we are going to do a relaxer and hair and trim and everything else check in and what We like to do around here is we like to check in every four weeks? This is something that we do. Okay, we around here we like to check in just to make sure that everything is going smoothly and nothing gets out of hand or out of whack to the point where we have to actually repair it. We like to do preventative maintenance around here as opposed to triage. So that's what we're doing. I just relaxed my hair last week, so i am coming in here and giving you guys the deets as they say in the streets, i'm giving you the deets. As far as how my hair is progressing - and you know making sure that i am staying on schedule as well as everybody else, okay, so with that being said, we are going to jump right into it and what i like to do is first i'd like to Talk about the products if anything has changed if anything hasn't changed. This is the point of the program where i actually give you an update on any of the products that i'm using. We already know that i have my stash. I have my staples. I have my what i call my judges: that's basically everything that's within my regimen, that is a keeper, and so with that being said, i have not used anything new. The only thing that i will say is that this last relaxer i was just going through the motions - and i totally forgot to use my leave-in delacio lacio, okay and for all those who are not familiar all of those who are coming into class. Maybe for the first time and trying to find a seat, sio is a leave-in conditioner that i like to use on relaxer day, because it's a little heavier. It'S just a little bit thicker than my normal leave-in, which is the infusium 23.. So i like to use the heavier one, because when you relax your hair, your hair can be dry. It'S going through a process, so i totally forgot to grab that bottle and i grabbed the infusion, but i think i'm okay, but just to be transparent. Because that's what we like around here, we like we like to keep it real up in these hair streets uh. I did use the infusium this time around by accident. Like i said, i grabbed the wrong bottle and just wasn't thinking instead of my lassio leave-in conditioner. Those who are not familiar with my regimen, the regimen, as well as the products will be down below anyway. So that's the only really change. That'S the only real change. I should say that has happened all the other products. You know my staples, that's exactly what i used, so we ain't wasting no time. Okay, we don't we ain't wasting, no time we jumping right to it. We ain't going to dilly, dally or fiddle faddle anymore, so we're going to jump right to it. I'M going to show you what i'm working with as far as my hair, my goal is to get to mid back. So that's why we check the length around here and uh also, like i said, just to make sure everything is smooth sailing. So we are going to get right to it. I'M going to show you what i'm working with i'm going to show you what's on top of my head and then we're going to come right back and and and see what else is going on. So without further ado and with no more delay, let's see what's going on with dolce's hair today, let's go do do do do do okay, guys, so that's the nitty-gritty on what's going on uh on top of my head. As far as my hair, i noticed that in the back after i have relaxed - and everything was you know straight - i noticed that i had a little patch. It was just a little patch, but it was enough for me to want to again i addressed things before they get out of whack, so i saw a little patch on the right hand side. So when i say patch, it was like a little bit of thinness. You know i like to have thickness all the way through to the ends we don't play around around here. We don't do thin ends around here. So, on the right hand side i noticed i was getting a little patch of thinness, so i don't know if you notice, but it's a little higher on the sides now, because i wanted everything to match. So now it's more of a um. It'S it's always been a slight flattened. U so now it's a little more of a! U so it's flat and it comes up on the sides - and i think you know what i'm talking about anyway, so yeah. I did notice that and i addressed it right away. We don't we don't play around here. As of recent, i really haven't had to trim about an inch or more. I i don't have to do that. If i were to gauge, i would say, maybe a quarter of an i'm, not exactly sure, but we've been doing well with that because again for those who aren't familiar, i like to trim do an actual trim on relaxer day and then four weeks later, when we Check back in i like to do a dusting, which is way less than an inch. It'S it's exactly how it sounds. You just take off the tippy tips of the ends and that's what i like to do, um four weeks out to make sure that i maintain whatever style i got going on uh on top of my head as well as keeping ahead of any split ends. That may occur so with that being said: yes, i it's a little shorter on the sides, but we're still making progress. Okay, we're not dismayed we're still marching towards our goal, which is mid back length, so we're still about to cross broadstride street, but again we're about. Maybe a half a toe off the curb of the street and towards the front we are reaching the peaks okay, because you know i'm trying to get to the valleys and we have reached. We are at the top of the peaks or about to reach the peaks. So everything is moving smoothly as far as what i can tell, and as far as i can feel my hair feels good. You know. Sometimes after you relax it's a little flat, so my hair may look a little flat. That'S okay! We like fluff around here, but if it's flat, it's just flat, so my hair may look a little flat this go around, but it's okay, it's okay, but the health of it is there and that's what we are concerned about. We want to maintain the health of our hair because the length will come, but the health got to be there for the length to even show up, i'm just saying you know, but yeah. We are concerned about the health. So that's why i trim the way that i do and that's why i have a trimming schedule and i encourage everyone to have their own trimming schedule to stay in front of any split ends that will occur if they're not addressed now. I will say that this time around, when i relax being that it's getting a little longer, i don't want my the timing of my relaxer as far as applying it, the application time i don't need, i don't want it to balloon and and get longer so what I did was normally i split my hair in two and i relax that way. So this time i did four. Yes, four is the magic number this time around? I think that's what i'm going to do uh moving forward. So what i did was, i split it into okay, so i split it in two parts and then i did these two parts into two parts. So i i had four parts, one two, three four and i relaxed that way and everything else was the same. I didn't do anything else different and that seemed to work well. For me, i feel like that's, that's going to help me maintain that application time and not go over it because i apply my relaxer. It takes me about roughly about 25 minutes and that's with smoothing, so i don't want to get into you know it being any longer than that so other than that i have bumped my gums long enough. I have ginger jabber and should have chatted long enough. It'S enough about me, i want to know, what's going on with you all, so you know what that means right. Anybody who wants to participate in it is roll call time, and if you don't know what roll call time is that's an open mic.
