Many thanks to her. Check out the interview here, and make sure you frequent her site for great natural hair information

What's Your Story?

So today I had a slight convo with a friend of mine's coworker; a young man basically stating that the reason women go natural is much deeper than just deciding to stop chemically processing their hair. To a certain extent I agree with him, and then you have some women who do if for that reason, and that reason alone. All stories are different and all women go natural for different reasons. So for my natural haired readers, and even those contemplating the transition to natural what is your story? Why did you decide to go natural, or why are you thinking about going natural now?

Looking forward to your responses =)

Natural Hair and Lipstick

Fooling around about to retwist my hair for a twist out.. I normally shy away from lipsticks, I feel like my lips are too big and I dont know what shade will look good on me. I dont think this looks bad though. Should I step out in public with it on?? Lol

Natural Hair Update

Hey guys.. quick update on my Natural Hair. Unfortunately I have no photos right now.. Blame my cellular phone issues lol. For about a month and a half (beginning in February and ending then begenning of March) I had my hair in a Protective Style. For my first braided extention experience I got Senagalese twists and my hair is thanking me for it now.

I might have gotten a half an inch to an inch of growth =) Remember this post where I was battling with my hair? Well I think my issue has finally been resolved. My scalp was just DRY resulting in my hair feeling super dry and brittle. I may do a mild protien treatment in the near future also. But letting my hair rest and applying oil to my scalp regularly as well as going back to the products that I first started using during my transition has my hair feeling like its old self again. And I'm happy about that. Hope you guys are doing well.

I 'll post some pics of my Senagalese Twists and recent photos of my hair now as soon as I can

Natural Hair Delima

I have recently come to the conclusion that my hair is lacking moisture and doesn't retain water like it used to..

My current regimen and products must not be working for me,

so I think I am going to discontinue the use of these Carol's Daughter products and switch back to all the products I used to use when I started transitioning..

I guess the saying is right, "if it aint broke, dont try to fix it" lol

=( this makes me sad that my hair isn't a fluffy fro at the moment.

Any tips you guys could give me would be most appreciated.

Thanks

Natural Hair Journey's

Last weekend I decided to blow dry my hair and flat iron it for the first time in 2 years.

I can't recall why I never straightened it before when getting my ends trimmed lol, but this time I deceded to do so to make it easier for my mom.

I washed and then conditioned my hair with Herbal Essence's "Hello Hydration"

Moistureized with Carol's Daughter "Hair Milk" and "Lisa's Hair Elixer"

Peep the photos

All blown out

Blow dried and styled.. no flat iron yet lol

Flat ironed

The day after.. hair unwrapped and fluffed

I'm honestly missing my fro.. wash day is right around the corner, and my ends are trimmed now so I'm good lol

Natural Hair Question of the Day

Hey all, I've been pondering trying the...

Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Lavender Mint
Moisturizing Shampoo

Every review I've read has been a good one. So my question is Have any of my natrual haired ladies tried this shampoo? What's your take on it.

And is paying 25.99 for a 33.8 oz bottle too much? It sure would last me a while lol

Photo of the Day

I was trying to capture my Natural Hiar style for the day but my picture turned out like this lol..

I'm purple and cut in half.. creepy but I like it haha

Instead of doing two cornrows, I did two giant flat twists. I really liked the style, and it was quick and easy.

What say you all?
