Today is Oct 31, 2012 and after a 2 year transition (June 2010-June 2012), I am now 28 months post relaxer and 4 months post big chop (BC). I decided to reflect on my journey thus far and think about my hair goals for the future.

Recently, I did a length check:…

I put together a tutorial on how I have been using the L.O.C Method to seal in moisture.

Currently, I’m experimenting with different products to see what yields the best results!

Would love feedback!

I was so excited to try a new protein deep conditioner recipe, but based on my experience I’ll chalk this one up as an epic fail!

I started my wash day a little later in the day yesterday due to my thrifting trip.

I began…

This morning I heard an interesting interview on the Tom Joyner Morning Show between Jacque Reid and author of “Black Women Redefined” Sophia Nelson,  about the controversial conversations…

Last weekend, I was fortunate enough to be taken on a weekend cruise for my birthday by my aunt. It was a great mini-get away. The boat stopped in Freeport Bahamas for the day and we went to Lucaya Beach.  I was LOVIN my bush that day and I let it hang out! I’d received many compliments from various people on the boat and I just knew my fro was #everything! So I’m hanging out…

Yesterday was Beauty Day. Since I BC‘d, I’ve been trying to edit my old hair routine. Initially I tried the “go with what you…

Using two thrifted silk scarves, I created a silk pillowcase. Total Cost of $8. Amazon lists their silk pillowcase for $47.

Happy Growing Ladies!

It has now been several months, since I decided to go natural.  Some would say since I had my own hair in braids for the last ten years, I was already natural.  For me, I beg to differ.  My whole attitude has changed.  I feel free, wonderful and natural.  This is what I started with and and this is what I will end up with.  I feel liberated,up to a certain point.  I have yet to take a picture of my new glorious…

Hey CurlFriends!

Here's how I recycle an old Braid-N-Curl! 

Hope it Inspires you! :)

I did the Big Chop three times starting in the year of 2010 and the third one was pretty recent. I decided to let my third chop be the last. I miss my curly big hair but i must say i hate when it get to the awkward stage. This stage is when your hair is long enough to put a piece on but not long enough to put it in a pony tail. This stage usually drives me to cut it all off again but I'm finding cool natural hairstyles for every length. I decided to…

It’s Tuesday and I am hating these ends, even more so then when I complained during the P.Y.E challenge! As I watch the clock wind…

The Challenge is over :(

January 2, 2012, starting stats and goals:

As of March 31, 2012, here is a list of my current stats:

1. Ending Point: 22 months into a 2 year transition. Total length of hair between 9-12 inches
2. Crown Length: 8…

So today is the next to last day of the challenge and I decided to use my freebie and wear my hair out! I couldn’t wait! Earlier in the week I wore this style, ends well protected.…

For the 4 Weeks, I've been on travel non-stop; I have been neglectful in posting my updates for the challenge. Though I have been a full participant, wearing only protective styles and taken pictures to show the style, I haven't been updating like I should have.

For weeks 10 and 11, I wore my hair in…

It’s week 9 of the challenge and I’m still on travel so I’m still rocking my bun…I love it though!It’s full and big and easy; certainly not a style I have to sleep pretty to maintain. Tomorrow I plan to re-moisturize, seal and braid up my hair.  I am really excited about the end of the challenge. Normally, I wear my…
