Quick update

I went and got my hair deep conditioned, trimmed and flat ironed and all I can say is wow! My hair stylist did such a great job straightening my hair that it looks like I took a hit of the creamy crack. Not to mention it's nice and soft. I'm not too sure how much longer he'll be willing to do my hair since he said he was getting carpal tunnel combing through it lol (dramatic right lol) but I was very happy with my results especially because I was becoming a bit discouraged. After getting over the surprise of me going natural, he gave me some tips such as...don't over-do conditioner because it'll coat your hair and block any new moisture from coming in and since he's been doing my hair for over 10 yrs and he knows my hair he suggested that I use a cream type shampoo such as Creme of Nature (which I need to get more of b/c I'm about out). That's all I have for now... Peace!

New Products Son

I am in LOVE with my new twist outs! They are much better than my bantu's and my hair holds better.

Any who...I got some new poo and conditioner!!! My aunt who is a stylist purchased it for me. She recommends it for natural hair. I will let you know the name and how I feel about it after I use it next week.

Until then...I am happy being nappy!

-Who gon perm me boo!

Sigh

Good Afternoon! It's been a minute since I got my blog on but I'm back :) I just wanted to get some stuff off my chest...I AM BECOMING SOOO DISCOURAGED! lol, it's almost been 3 months and I don't see any results. I have like 3 little curls and the rest of this mess is just a puff. It's not doing anything at all. However, I'm going to continue my journey. I don't even have the desire to get a relaxer and talking to Nicole yesterday (while forcing her to say she saw some curls lol), I had a revelation...I think relaxers were drying my scalp out something terrible so it's probably really best that I don't get them. So I'm still hanging in there but this hair of mine is just driving me a little crazy.

Oh, I almost forgot...I completed my heat free challenge! I haven't had any heat in my hair for 4 or 5 weeks :) I will probably be getting my hair flat ironed and my ends clipped this week so we shall see. Have a great day!

Natural=Tender Head

Okay, so I just got a two-strand twist out done and it took me back to my childhood. I was almost in tears! It hurt so bad when my stylist (Trina) was parting my hair and twisting it. I was moving and and squirming the whole time. I felt like I was a little girl again with my momma doing my hair (pre-perm) and threatening to pop me in the head with the brush. I am loving my natural journey thus far, but boy oh boy my poor head.

BTW: I love my hair it came out really nice. The low down=Eight two strand twist from front to back on wet hair. I took them out the next day and it looks great!

Products:
Shampoo/Conditioner = Motions Naturals (smells great, really like it)
Deep conditioner = Silk Elements, It was just okay I left it in for 45 min with a plastic cap on
Leave in Conditioner = Creme of Nature (yucky smell but worked great)
Grease = Proclaim coconut oil
Finished with Olive oil sheen spray

Quick Question...

I am looking for a new hair moisturizer... Any suggestions?

Flexi-rods=New hair style!

While getting my mini haul on last week, I picked up some flexi rods (along with 1,000,000 other things) and Sunday night was the test. I was nervous to see how my hair would turn out but to my surprise it didn't turn out too bad :) I washed and deep conditioned my hair and then flexi rod'd it up. The front came out pretty nice but I need to perfect the back the next time I do it which will probably be Friday after a good ol' co-wash. This style will probably last about 2-3 days. I'm excited my experiment went well! Now I know I will be able to continue my heat free challenge Whoop Whoop! I definitely recommend flexi rods. Until next time...

Str8 Hair

Ok so my hair has been been straight for two weeks now and I hate it!!! I flat ironed it so that I could get my ends cut and I have been trying not mess with it. I want my curly Bantu's back. I am going to twist it up tonight.

It is so funny that once upon a time I loved being straight now look at me...NATURAL and Loving it!!!!

Randomness

I just wanted to blog about a few things going on with me :) So I of course went and got some new products today. I picked up some Organix coconut milk conditioner which I heard was pretty good but if I don't like it I have a mail in rebate so it works out to being free. I also picked up some Shine Therapy Silk Fusion critical repair, Shine conditioning gel, and some cheap VO5 conditioner. I plan on going to Sally's tomorrow to pick up some flexi rods and then I'll be trying a new hair style! I also will be picking up some coconut oil and another Aphogee product.

I'm trying to do a heat free challenge as well. So far it's been about a week and I've only challenged myself to go heat free for two or three more weeks. I'm trying to just let my hair be and not bother it.

Last night before I went to bed I had to go through and look at the progress of my new growth lol. I think it's funny that I now get so excited and look forward to new growth when before I would be having a fit by now. I think that going natural can be a very freeing journey and so far I'm still excited and holding strong to the journey. I didn't start shaking and going crazy for the creamy crack when I walked passed it in the aisle. Well kids...gotta go to work so I'll blog again later. Peace and Hair grease!
