Trying something new

Mernin' all! I have decided to get out of my hair slump and try something new. I will be trying a roller set today. I have no clue how it's going to turn out but if anything it'll be a funny story. I washed and conditioned my hair this morning and I actually enjoyed doing so :) I will let you all know how it turns out (cross your fingers for me lol). Have a wonderful day, ta ta for now!

Dear hair,

Dear hair,

I now know what it feels like to love something that doesn't love you back. I loved you with all my heart. I treated you to the finer things in life, washed, conditioned you and even did a heat free challenge so why do you treat me the way you do?! Lately, your attitude disgust me and because of how you make me look in public...I HATE YOU! You have no curl pattern all you show is a puff pattern, you're not growing, and I'm preeeeeetty sure you're falling out. For this, I now do NOT shy away from the heat. At first I was so excited to meet the new you. I couldn't get enough of co-washing, seeing new growth and looking for curls (which btw i'm glad I wasn't holding my breath waiting for a real curl to sprout) but now...I dread looking in the mirror some days for fear of constant disappointment. Hopefully we can mend our relationship soon and get that old thing back.


Yours Truly,

PowerPuff

Hair on the floor

SOOOO...I think my hair is falling out (insert scream) WHY!!! I am washing it, I do not do a lot of manipulation, I sleep on a satin pillow case what heck is wrong! It is so thick and very very hard to comb. I feel a little defeated by my hair right now. If this was a war, it would be winning the battle right now. I won a few but that was in the past.




I am so broke that I cannot even indulge myself in new products...lol sad face!

They love me...

Well they love my hair I should say. My new protective style (8 two strand twist, with a bobby pin to secure the ends) gets rave reviews! My friend Trina has done the style for me two weeks in a row. It last all week and gives me a lot of versatility as the week goes on.

I will only go back to my bantu knots if she cuts me off. :-)

Oh btw...I have been crack free for 4 months! YAY for me. I know the hard part has not started yet, but I welcome it with open arms. I now believe you can do anything with a good conditioner!

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!
