Transitioning back to natural!

I'm am going to show you all how much of a random individual I am......

Just two days ago I was chatting with my husband telling him that I will "NEVER" go back to being natural since all I know is how to manage relaxed hair. I have been relaxed since age 8. I've, thank goodness, never had a history of hair loss or extreme damage to my hair because my mother (as I have mentioned many times before) is a certified professional beautician. She always knew how to care for my relaxed hair and always helped me retain length- so, Ive always had long hair.

Today, yes today, I woke up and the first thought that came to my mind was "I'm going natural". Told you guys I'm super random. Since my hair was (sad face) BSL I decided not to BC. Really did not feel like cutting all my long hair. My goal for May 2011 was to make Bsl and I did, a little before May. Since I decided not to BC I grabbed the Scissors and quickly starting chopping off a few minutes ago. I did not cut off too much because I would've probably cried. So far I feel super great and my hair feels 100% more thicker and with more volume. I have so much new growth from the hairfinity supplements that once I did that major trim my hair did not shed one strand. See the difference that healthy and well managed hair can make?

I am so excited about this new hair journey! Really am. The reason why I decided to transition to natural was for overall health. I no longer use heat in my hair. I have well over a month now without applying any sort of heat onto my hair and believe me it has made a great difference in my hair.

Now I must do so much research on how to properly transition..........once I get things down to a "T", I will definitely show you all what I have been doing via my YouTube channel. I'm still a bit nervous but everyday that goes by I am able to prove to myself how strong I am and how I am able to do whatever I set my mind on doing. I no longer want the creamy crack -Good bye relaxers :)

Wish me luck.
Will keep you all updated :)

Eco Styler Gel Olive Oil Wash and Go!

Image
I am absolutely in love with this gel! Its gives great hold and allows for me to have preserved wash and go's for as long as I want before washing my hair! 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. Today as I browsed through YouTube I payed close attention to Mahogonaycurls technique and how she achieves her wash and go styles. 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
