La La's world

Hey y'all!! I just wanted to do some writing so here goes. This post will be a hair update post regarding obviously hair...lol...So on April 27th marked my 11 month natural hair anniversary and also 21 months with no perm. I cannot tell you all what this journey has done for me and my hair. In the beginning of this journey, I was not too sure what I expected to get out of going natural. I knew that some of my reasons were I didn't want to put chemicals on my hair anymore, I wanted my hair to grow, I needed to do this to show to my daughter that her hair is perfect just the way it is. I have learned all these things and so much more. My hair has grown so much in these last few years than it ever did in my whole life. My self confidence and self esteem has gone through the roof. I didn't care about what people thought of me before, but now I REALLY  don't care what people have to say about my hair, my clothes or anything cause I do everything I do for me and no one els...

I guess with all the hustle and bustle of the holiday it totally passed me by. November 27th marked my 6 month anniversary... Let's take a glimpse back into time...I transitioned for 10 months and did my BC on May 27, 2010. I cannot believe it has been 6 months and my hair is longer than it was before I cut off my relaxed ends. I am learning a lot and am enjoying this journey. I am VERY excited that I have made it this far with the amount of growth I have already achieved. My hair has never been this long and with TLC natural hair can grow and prosper... My goal isn't really to focus on length, but I would loveeee to see how much my hair can grow without a perm. I just want to say thank you to Curlynikki and also this forum because I dont know where I would be in my journey without all these helpful people and tools, and articles, and videos, and photos, Okay yall get my drift...Well have a blessed one and thanks for stopping by!!.

I am going to need to update you guys because this was almsot 6 MONTHS AGO!!!!! Okay so Ive been missing in action just lurking but I promised pictures and here goes... I haven't really been doing too much with my hair since the BC. I do weekly co-washes, shampoo when I use a lot of products which has been once since the BC, and then apply leave in, and then some kind of oils after that. I then proceed to braid about 6 or so cornrows to the back and take them down in the morning...I am loving having my natural hair, but am also finding that if I dont do something to my hair nightly it will look a hot a** mess in the morning which is a little annoying when I have a ton of other ish to do, especially with a very active 2 year old girl. Also my hair has been extremely dry since I BC'd. I am just now starting to get really focused on a regimen and trying out products and seeing their true effects on my hair. Right now I am using organix coconut milk shampoo(when needed even thoug...

So I always browse the natural hair websites daily, if not multiple times a day, just to see what's new and what's going on. So I am going through some older posts on curlynikki.com because I have missed a few days with schoolwork and all. I see that we are now able to get a 15% discount until the end of the year (12/31/2010). So check that out if y'all are product junkies like me!!!! Anyhoo I found this really good article about "pyramid head" and thought I would share because being newly natural I think this is great information to have on hand.. Check it out and do with it what you like, just sharing... http://www.naturallycurly.com/curlreading/haircuts/avoiding-the-pyramid Enjoy peoples and MAKE it a GREAT one!!!
