Here's my day 2 hair and a sneak peek at my outfit today. Still not in love but it's getting bigger slowly, by Thursday, Friday... It's gonna be a problem!

Happy Anniversary (to her)!
Yesterday was the 1 year anniversary of the day I BC'd. Now I would've shown my hair from yesterday but I just washed it and as you may know by now I HATE day 1 hair. So here are pics from Sunday nite before I washed my hair (excuse the gross-ness). I wanted to show comparison pics but lucky for me (insert angry, annoyed face here) my computer crashed not too long ago so I can't find pictures from when I first chopped my hair off.
All I could really find were these...
VERSUS
Not too bad. Here's to the future, Fro.
Fitting Room Fun
Why put up a picture of me randomly trying on clothes in a fitting room?
Because I loved my hair that day, #thatisall.

My Met Gala 2011 top 5
A couple nights ago was the Met Gala which paid tribute to the late great Alexander McQueen (I still wanna get my hands on that "leopard" scarf with the skulls replacing the spots)
Some were hits, some were misses (like I get it Janelle Monae, your look is classic but you can still throw a dress on and look just as classic)
I'm gonna focus on my "wows"
4. Diane Kruger
3. Rihanna
2. Iman
1. Eva Mendes

If you didn't have a chance to check out the fashions, head to FabSugar and take a look. I would love to hear you take on the hits and misses of the night

Tea Time
(source)
Lately every time I henna my hair, I am left rinsing and rinsing and rinsing only to have bits and pieces of herbs still left in my hair. Super frustrating and it makes me not wanna deal with it. But I love the effects of henna: it helps define my coils, reduce frizz, and there's a (slight) color payoff.
So what's a girl to do? Google of course.
After doing a little bit of investigating I realized that I could do a henna rinse. I had never really heard of anyone doing it but I figure what could it hurt?
It's really simple to do. I grabbed my henna, amla, and brahmi (about 1/4 cup of each) and a few cups of water (didn't measure it) and simmered it on the stove for 20 minutes or so. Once it came to a rolling boil, I added a teabag. It was this green tea that I bought to drink but since it was gross I figured why waste it and decided to use it for my hair. I let it stay on the heat for another 5 mins then set the mix aside to cool.
In the meantime I shampooed my hair with my Bee Mine bar. I strained the henna rinse into a bowl then placed a bowl in the kitchen sink so I could collect the rinse to use over and over. I then proceeded to pour it for about 10 mins or so. Please make sure it cools down before you do it because scalp burns are never cute. After most of the rinse made it's way down the drain I deep conditioned with L'Oreal EverStrong made sure my hair was rinsed clean. I found no left-over grit which was a plus. As I write this my hair is braided up so we'll see how conditioning it was in the morning.
I'll follow up tomm
Sidenote: I'm ONE WEEK away from my 1 year anniversary of when I did the BC! Time was flown by and I can't wait to see what year 2 brings. Hopefully a lot more blogging.
