Transitioning can be loads of fun!

The farther I am into my transition the more creative I am becoming with hairstyling. I am mostly obsessed with buns. While I do braid outs and pin curls- buns in my opinion is fastest and easiest and can be loads of fun if you get creative.

I am still inspired by a lot of naturals, including my sister who has very beautiful textured hair! I wonder why I did not listen to her when she told me years ago to transition to natural. Oh well, everything has its timing. I was not ready back then but now I am going full force. I really can say that I am loving this experience. I am learning a lot. Today I saw more curls pop out of my head! I am IN LOVE with my natural hair. It makes me feel so anxious to see it fully natural. But since I am a huge punk at BCin I will just have to wait it out.

Ive also (starting today) decided not to hair type my hair. Who cares what hair texture you are? While I use to want to know, today I asked myself why? God gave me whatever he gave me and I'm going to love every single strand that pops out of my head! Watch me!!!! God made me beautiful and I have long ago accepted all of my uniqueness.........So no hair typing for me (although I do know my hair type). Before I have you wondering what I actually mean is that I WILL NOT be pointing it out-or if anyone asks me I will not bother to answer such question. Hair typing is a bit pointless to me so I will not be participating in that. My own quote for my hair, "My hair cannot and will NOT be defined!"

Upon washing my hair this AM I came across my beautiful curl patterns. This is what  I saw:






































































































































I can see how much my hair grew based on those relaxed ends hanging on for dear life! I mean, once my hair is fully dried it blends in well, so it really does not look as thin.Example:

BTW all the pics in this post were the same day!
But sometimes looking at those relaxed ends, and how thin they are when my hair is completely wet makes me want to chop it off early. But I have decided to give it some more time because I love having length. So lets see what will happen six months into my transition. I will know when I am ready and I will most definitely share my experience with you all :)

    when I saw your post, transitioning is so funn, I almost feel off my sofa. No, something is wrong with the girl i said. so i clicked on over. ANSWER: you have a nice grade of hair. I was wondering what kind of bun you was wearing. Your hair looks to be a softer grade than most relaxed ladies that go natural like myself. hair very thick, not kinky but thicko. anyway, this month is one year for me. i almost freaked as i notice my relaxed hair falling off. i was a bit nervous at first. thinking something was wrong. I even thought i was going to be bald and kept looking and searching my head daily. I'm cool now. Now its learning styles that got me stuck.

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
