Last month, I stopped using Trader Joe's Nourish Spa Conditioner. Why? Click HERE .   Well, I was at Trader Joe's today and decided to read the ingredient list of the conditioner, maybe they have removed parabens. YEAH!! This product no longer has parabens, however!!! They have now gone and added Silicones. Oh well... guess I will not be re-purchasing. Thankfully I still have the Tea Tree Tingle conditioner. Old Formula:

  Today's vlog started with failed plans, but at the end, we had a great day!!  

    After numerous fails, I have finally been able to do my best braidout. The first time I attempted a braidout, I thought it was ehhh Ok. Click here to watch . That was a year ago.  A few month after that, I tried it again and it was better but not the best. Click here to watch th at. I did not give up. Well, I did for 11 months. LOL!   The thing that baffled me about braidouts was that when I was transitioning, my braidout was always a no fail. I always had issues with twistouts.

I read somewhere that instead of pouring the rinse directly on my hair, spraying is much better. I must say, I prefer this method. I found this method much more convenient.
