My Natural Hair Protective Style

So I just wanted to share my "new hair" with you all. I have been a avid lover of wigs for about 3 years. In fact, I think they are amazing. You can take them off every night and let your hair breathe!! For the most part, before going natural I would wear wigs with relaxed texture hair. Now since I am doing my natural thing I opted for a curly unit. I love her!!! I always leave a little of my hair out in the front so I have a more realistic look. My hair blends in quite nicely with this texture if I do say so myself. I notice that curly hair does shed a bit more but not to the point where I am leaving a trail lol.

I got this unit from http://www.darkberrytresses.com/ . They are fairly new and have awesome prices!! Check them out!!

Reality Check!

The journey of natural hair...it sounded like so much fun in the beginning. It sounded so liberating. It made since for me and the place I am at in life. I knew it was going to be some work and take dedication. I don't think I realized how much.

I have had a reality check. Although I have been able to see some healthy results since my BC, I have not been taking care of my hair as I should. It takes so much more than cutting off all your hair and then going back to the same 'ol routine as before. Really the only thing I have changed is how I wash my hair. I now cowash. That is all fine and dandy but if I am going to get the results I want...more needs to be done.

I went out and bought some coconut oil so I can give my hair some much needed moisture EVERYDAY. I will continue the cowash and even try a vinegar rinse. I will also start some hot oil treatments. Another regimen I am adding is eating healthy and drinking lots of water and smoothies + protein. Yum! That last one will be no problem. I hope this promise to myself to really treat my hair right will lead to the satisfaction of a healthy head of gorgeous tresses that are all MINE!

"6 week" ...or close to it, TRIM!

Ok really, it has been like 8 weeks since my big chop. I knew a trim was scheduled but I kinda lost track of time. Anyways, I 'll do better this time. I have to say, ruffled ends where indeed present. However, when I looked down at my chopped ends, they looked soo much healthier than the hair that was cut from the big chop. So there is some improvement already!! YAY! We all like results!
