Finally made APL!

My short term goal after I did my big chop was to reach apl before my 1 year naturalversary! Yesterday after having my husband stretch out my curl just for the heck of it- I found out that I am finally Arm Pit Length! I am more than happy and will only continue to fully care for my natural hair so I can retain longer lengths!


My next short term goal is BSL- ;)
Cant wait to write yet another blog post claiming this length!

Peace-

The smell is light and with the new technique that I am using when I do my wash and go's drying time has minimized! My curls hang a lot more with the new technique. Although I still experience shrinkage (which comes with the territory of being natural) I must say that I am very pleased with the dry ending results. Here is my day 3 hair WNG: I have yet to try the other Eco Styler gels but so far I am more than pleased with what the Eco Styler gel Olive Oil can do for my hair. I get a lot of questions as to whether or not it makes my hair crunchy, hard, flaky, or dry and my answer to all of these is no. It does give a good hold but not crunchy at all, I always get movement with my hair- its never stiff. I also want everyone to be aware that I apply my leave in conditioner and oi...

My Perfect Wash and Go!

Image
I have finally perfected my wash and go's! I've had great wash and go days but I was constantly struggling with trying to eliminate frizz.

One technique in particular was what caught my attention and had the little voice in my head say, "try it! I really believe this will work for your hair as well". I did not even finish watching the video when I found myself in the bathroom trying this new technique. The technique is simple, all I did was apply Eco styler gel on my dry hair (you can also do it on wet or damp hair, just wanted to minimize my shrinkage- why I chose to apply the gel on dry hair) and section it off in really small sections. Apply the gel and continue until fully done- my hair looks and feels very moisturized, which is exactly what I've been longing for with my wash and go's. I will continue to do this technique- m...
