I'm Back and 3 months natural YALL!!!

I know, I know, it's been a minute. But honestly, I have been busy. Plus, I have been using this time to learn more about my hair.


Let's see......what's been going on? Oh, after I did the BC I wore my hair out until, uhm, about January 10th or something. It was chilly chill here in NC for the first time since I have been living here so I went and got my hair twisted. I still shampooed and conditioned my hair once a week and used leave in conditioner. Each morning I would spray on a braid spray that I made up with some different oils (olive, vitamin E, grapeseed & castor), StaSof-Fro, glycerin and peppermint essential oil. OOOOO LA LA. It felt so good. I rocked that until right before Valentine's Day, the Friday before to be exact. Then I took them down and did a deep condition etc. I had some pretty good growth and I was happy. I was able to pull the sides down and it came to my earlobe.

My hair is super soft and I will tell you this. When I first did the BC I really couldn't tell what my hair type was. I mean I thought that I knew but since it has grown out some I can really tell. I have some straight COILY hair. I mean it just looks like little springs all over my head except for the back and that stuff is like wavy or something. It does its own thing that's for sure. I am diggin my coils. They are so cute and so springy. I have some serious HIH (hand in head) so I don't know if I can ever just wear my hair out exclusively. I will destroy any style.

Then on February 20th I got the twist put back in. It was too darn cold to be doing a wash and go. I still have them in right now. But let me tell you, my hair is growing F-A-S-T and they are looking tore up but I am trying to work with it. I will probably take them down either this weekend or next. Depends. The weather is so much warmer now so I might just rock my TWA for a month or so and then get the twist redone.

I am still a fan of V05 and Suave. That clarifying shampoo and clarifying conditioner is THE TRUTH! Seriously, I am still looking for an excellent leave in. I am telling you, stuff that worked when I was relaxed, transitioning and even when I first did the BC just ain't cutting the mustard anymore. I still like garnier fructis conditioner but I haven't tried the deep conditioner or leave in.

Any thoughts?

Peace, Love & Twist
