Going Napppp-tural


I've been on many journeys in my life and I can't wait for the others I will have to take. My current journey... my hair. ::deep breath:: I remember the first time I was introduced to the creamy crack. I trekked all the way to Ocean Ave to hit up this particular Dominican spot... Miguelina's. I was 12. TWELVE!!! Goodness. I swear I was addicted after that. The chemicals seeped deep and took over lol.

As of today, I am 2 months, 3 weeks and 5 days post my last touch up... Yes I'm keeping track lol. Transitioning has been an informative process. I've been learning so much about Black hair care since I've decided to go natural. I definitely did not know that relaxed hair was the driest type of hair! Maybe that was just me. I'm hoping to transition for about a year or so then make that big chop (BC). The fact of the matter is, I've been transitioning for only 3months and I'm already frustrated with my relaxed hair! lol I want to go clip clip, bye bye to it. Secretly, I have been trimming it myself when ever I had these feelings lol.

My favorite products without a doubt are my Extra Virgin Coconut Oil and my Jane Carter Nourish and Shine. I'm becoming some sort of a product junkie and I'm trying to check myself (before my pockets do!) I love love love co-washing (conditioner washing). Its amazing! I do it about every 3-4 days.

Maybe Ill blog more on my healthy hair journey!

Here are some pictures!


My first time using cold wave rods!
My naps are showing! Gel much?!



A shot of the new growth!

Just washed and air dry!

New growth.


Too lazy to curl. No heat challenge is hard sometimes.


Trying to incorporate braids this time to mix it up! lol

Done in time for graduation... need to get those whispies under control.
(I'm clothed by the way lol. I was wearing a tube dress.)
