Its My Journey

My journey thus far is going pretty good. I'm learning more and more and with gaining knowledge on how to manage the two textures, I am able to prevent my hair from breaking. Breakage is one of the main problems that transitioners have, as the line of demarcation is a very delicate area and easily prone to breakage if not handled properly. Before deciding to go natural I experienced breakage on my nape area. Today, I got rid of whatever relaxed hair was hanging on to my nape area. After debating on whether or not I should make the cut, I finally proceeded to do so and now I am feeling very happy that I did. Although the nape is an area that can be well hidden, it bothered me how those relaxed ends were clinging on to dear life. In a sense it was also holding me back from transitioning properly. The last thing I want to experience is a major setback, and believe me if you don't get rid of those dead ends sooner than later you just might regret your decision later on. It feel

This is my very first directed and edited music video. I am very excited and also aware of my endless possibilities. It happened just like that, at a snap of a finger. I wondered why not make a music video so people can better understand the feel behind the music? Why should I have to wait for a professional to handle my business, when I can easily put my hands on it and see if I am capable of creating good imaging that will portray my feelings in a video? I never doubted myself so I went ahead and just did it. The video, as I would describe it, is very simple yet projects my inner feelings. I am loving it so far because while a lot of artists tend to sing every second of the song in their music videos, I headed into a whole different direction. I'm not into trends nor do I like to duplicate what has already been done time and time again. I like to stay on the side of my street and do what works for AlmaV . The video is coming very soon and I hope you all enjoy it.

I am no longer doing roller sets after I wash my hair....... I'm sticking with air drying my hair. What works very well for me is the scarf method! After every wash, I simply apply my leave in conditioner (Cantu Shea butter leave in conditioner). I use a brush to slick my edges and the front of my hair, I tie the scarf and allow my hair to air dry. By the time my hair is dry at about 65%, I proceed to apply my daily moisturizer. At the moment I am using two products as my daily moisturizer, ORS Olive olive oil lotion and Hollywood beauty Castor oil. When my hair is 100% dry, I apply a bit more moisturizer, detangle my hair in sections and do a protective style right after. Some Images of my air drying scarf method:  Its been almost 2 months since I have applied heat to my hair. Saying goodbye to flat irons and blow dryers- BYE! :) Really Love this method! Its fast and it allows me to continue to pass on applying heat to my hair <<<----Still tracking my NG-
