i did the big chop and i love it!

Dude, I wish I did this sooner. Even though i'm addicted to the 3's...i'm in love with my 4a/b hair. I love tugging at the coils! it feels free and I can't take it :-D

Right now i don't really have a regimen just moisture, moisture and more moisture and i love the kinky curly custard but i only apply it on the weekends.  Even though the label states all natural ingredients and it is alchy free... It's still stocked as a gel and i don't want to put gel in my hair too frequently.

My fingers are tired and i'm sleepy so attached is a pic of me and with my beautiful bold big chop. I'm in love with this new me ( i loved the old me but DAMN this one takes the cake). Questions or comments please post. i will respond as soon as i awake from this nap.

Good Day.

Natural woman....pics coming in August 2011

So i decided to go natural. No specific reasons really...just bored and I HATE WAITING in the hood for someone to apply my touch up or cur/flat iron my hair. So anyways i have nothing against relaxers and may eventually get one again depending on how this goes. This is my 3rd attempt of going natural but i've never gone natural by cutting the relaxer out the hair until now; Before i would just flat iron the roots every few weeks but i always grew weak and reapply the damn relaxer after a few months.

Again, i don't think there is anything wrong with relaxers. I will not bash it and i will not call it creamy crack since  i had that shit in my hair for 14 years so why front now it served its purpose when i needed it. My reason for this natural journey (natural as in no relaxers but ill still be weaving and wigging it until it grows to a comfy length or when i feel hair lazy) is not only due to impatience its also because i want to feel my hairs natural state.   I want to be free of the blow dryers and the flat irons for approximately a year and then we shall see where i go from there.

I'm really excited about this journey and i hope you check in on me every so often to see how it goes. :-)

 ill update it in August with  pic of my TWA (teeny weeny afro) in August.

wish me luck.

LAST HAIR UPDATE 'TILL MAY 2011.

I'm over going to the salon and blowing out my hair so i will not. I got wash/set and blow dried at the roots on Saturday December 4th but i have no plans of getting it done until  May 2011. Me and the Tammy half wig have a thang goin on and i'm totally in love with it. I will be rockin that for awhile now so bye bye to my real hurr. i'm not feelin' it like i'm feelin tammy. Here is a pic of my real hair after going to the salon. It got thicker. I'm thinking of getting it cut which i know defeats the purpose but i want a really blunt cut where the hair is evenly straight.  i want it BLUNT like a japanese girl. lol!   i may do that may 2011 or before we shall see. My goal is waistlenght  by 2012 so i still got time if i do the cut. I will keep u posted with the blunt cut as soon as i do it.
A picture of my real after the salon. Definitely thicker!!!!

My new tammy wig aka Beyonce wig has arrived.

If i have the time patience and the assistance i will do a video blog of how i put this wig on. It's fabulous. It looks so great with my roots, absolute perfect match. Its a half wig and i absolutely adore. I think i will order 3 more to last me through the cold winter months. Please share your thoughts...is this a yay or a nay.

Pic of Tammy Half Wig

I have no idea who this chick is but i got her pic from Hairmedia.com and she is rockin' the Tammy Half wig. She looks great with it. This is the wig i'm waiting for. I feel like it will blend very well with my real hair. What do you all think?

Retaining hair length....

Hi All!

 I am still waiting on my beyonce wig. This is some bs cause i have been waiting for it for over a week and i really dislike walking around with my real hair in November.  I feel like the moment the weather gets below 50 degrees my hair should be tucked neatly in to a wig cap *shrugs*.  Doing that retains hair...as long as u keep it well conditioned and moisturized under there you will be happy with your results.

I rarely wear my hair down. I may wear it down every three months if i get it straightened at the dominicans and wear it down for a couple of days. I personally don't like my hair down. I think i look better with my hair pulled back in a bun.

Retaining length is very important to me in this journey. My  hair is slightly uneven right now because i cut it myself during a traumatic time in my life Janaury 2010 and i had to get it fixed by a salon and they made it look "normal". Some sections I cut really really short so...its growing out unique but the good thing is my ends "beez" the bomb!!!! lol! (i love to entertain myself with my slang talk so please don't mind me). I had my domincan chick look at it and she was like wow it looks great so because the ends are sooo  healthy i didn't have to  trim anything which retains more length and make my hair appear like its growing faster.  I usually try to get a trim every 3-6 months. My hair is always in a bun or pinned up. I hate hair touching my shirt or coat so this is what helped me go from Shoulder length to past arm pit length in 9 months.

Ill post pics of wig as soon as i get it.

So below is a pic of my real hair washed and air dried it has some waves cause i braided into two plaits the night before. After that photo i pinned it up.  Again, I can't stand my hair on my shoulders... i wonder what i will do when my hair actually gets to waist length. :-)

Happy Hair growing :-)
