Hello Again, *waving hands*

I wanted to wear twist outs for a friend's bday dinner today, so as I was twisting my hair last night, I was half way through finishing the whole head only to realise, I didn't want to wear twist out but rather wear my hair blown out. As much as I love this style, my last two attempts came out really wrong (my hair felt crunchy rather than soft :-s) so I kinda decided not to bother with it ever since.

But today's trail really came out exactly how is meant to be :-D * Big smile*.




Here are the products I used to get the perfect result!!

 1. Co-washed hair Herbal Essence Hello Hydration Conditioner
2. Conditioned with ORS Replenishing Conditioner (I know this is a deep conditioner, but it was the only good conditioner I had left)
3. Sprayed Tresseme Heat Defence Styling Spray on towel dried hair






4. Blow-dried hair with Wahl Power Pik dryer ( I don't reccommend this dryer, its very heavy and difficult to use single handly,I'm searching for a new blow dryer)
5. Applied Herbal Essence Beautiful Ends split end protection cream to my ends
6. Used ORS Olive oil lotion - run out of my shea butter mix :-( )
6. Styled with big feather hair accesorry
7. * Head out of the door and rock the 'fro.

*optional :-p














Love how the 'Fro is getting B. I. G. G. E. R. !!! It's soo exciting watching it grow, I'm definitely gonna give my Monday morning swim a miss tomorrow. There's no way I'm wearing this style just for a day ;-). Until next post, you stay Blessed!!!!

Hello to all my lovely readers,

Happy New Year to you all, wishing you all the very best for the many happy days ahead of us.

Two weeks ago was my 5th month nappiversary :-D and my oh my, how much has my hair grown even though I got it trimmed properly at the hairdressers. You can definately see the difference it makes when you trim your natural hair. I don't think I had that much of split ends,however I knew it would be a good idea to the hair in to shape and keep it looking healthy.

I think I also mentioned in my last blog post that, my hair texture has changed after I washed my straightened hair. I have noticed that I've got my coils back (don't know what type though) but I'm loving every coil and kinks. I haven't actually worn twists out in a while since my coils came back as I feel like I don't need to, I just wash my hair and that's it, let the curls be F. R. E. E. E. E. E. E. E.

                                         SPOT THE DIFFERENCE!!!

My new fave do is now what I call 'the mini frohawk' see pic below :-)

Thank you all for stopping by :-), Stay Blessed!!

Hello Chicas, how's everybody been doing lately??? I've had a very fun week so far with my hair, I got it straightened or flat ironed (for my readers across the pond, lol) for a work Xmas do. I didn't want to wear my hair in mini twist outs as I always do. My hair needed a trim as well so I thought why not get it straightened at the salon and get a trim whiles I'm at it. I really like the outcome of it, I was trying to follow and figure what exactly she was doing so I can do that at Homs by myself. I think that's ever gonna happen. Boo hoo My hair came out really straight, she used high heat throughout but wasn't worried as I completely trusted her and she knew what she was doing. Hair definitely feels like it's been relaxed and feels really thin but it's super straight and sleek. It's day four today and it has just begun to go frizzy. I'm missing my kinks already. I also like the fact that i asked for a trim and got a haircut which is superb. Overall i love my experience and I think I may have just found my new natural-hair hairdresser. See the results for yourself and please let me know what you think by commenting in the box down below . Flat ironed and trim Day 2 style Crown Thank you for dropping by.

Season greetings everyone, (oh I think I'm a bit early)

Anyways, just wanted to fill you guys on my natural hair journey update. Today happens to be the 4th month since I went au naturale. I'm still loving it each day. Yesterday I stumbled across some old pics of me with my relaxed hair, I couldn't believe how long my hair was. It's not that long but compared to now, I wish I had that length on my hair but not as relaxed though. I'm also starting to get bored with my hair now, because it's too long for some short styles but not long enough......oh oh oh 

Moving on, I can't write about a nappivesary post without any pics to show new changes. This time I'm gonna show you pics of some length checks during September and today. Here they're, Enjoy.

As always, I'm happy to receive comments and tips and what's not about how to improve my hair journey. So please feel free to drop a hint in the comment box below. Thank you reading and following me on my journey. Until next post, H A P P Y. H O L I D A Y S BlogBooster-The most productive way for mobile blogging.

Sulphate Shampoo

VS
Sulphate Free Shampoo



Hey Everybody, it's been a while since I've been on here. I haven't been updating much only because i didn't want to bore you with the same hair updates. But sometime ago when I was experiencing shedding and dandruff, I posted a question on twitter and one of the responses I got was to stop using sulphate free shampoos. My reaction was that I've come to know that sulphate is a baddie for naturalists so how does this lady suggest such a thing.

Of course I gave it a try as my dandruff and shedding got worse and worse but to my surprise I experience less shedding but hair was not feeling as soft as I wanted it to be. Maybe that's the down side of using sulphate free shampoo.

Now that I've tried both types of shampoo, I'm yet to decide on which I'll be using regularly. I'm the type that would love to use natural products on my hair if I can but since most of them don't do much for me, I have to forget about them because healthy hair is important to me and I'll do as much as I can to maintain that.

Has any of you experience something like this before? Please share your experiences with us.

Also I have noticed that, on days that I don't DC, the hair sheds more so all I can say is DC, DC. I usually use the sauna to steam my hair when I'm at the gym. LOL well why not????

I will also give you a lil update on the process of my hair. It's still growing and I trimmed it myself after watching a few videos on YouTube and reading a post about trimming from my fave blogger beautifulms I co washed with HE HH conditioner, did ACV rinse, DCed with ORS hair Mayo. After I applied Infusium 23 leave in, Cantu Shea Butter leave in, whipped Shea Butter and ORS heat serum. After blow out I noticed my hair was a bit crunchy and I don't know what caused it. If any of you might know, please drop me a hint. Here is the hair before trim after blow out Blow out

After trim and mini 2 strand twists. All this while I've been doing my hair, this is the very first time my twists have come out right. Oh well you learn everyday. Hehehe Twists

Hello Chicas, how's everybody doing lately????? You all must be wondering why I've posted any blog recently. I'll tell you why. There hasn't been any recent/new stuff happening with my hair until yesterday when I was stuck with how to wear my hair for work.

My hair is still experiencing shedding and can't tell whether it's normal shedding, shedding due to a problem or I'm just being paranoid?????
But the funny thing is, hair is still growing like Weed (sorry for the pun) and I haven't noticed any bald patches or thinning anywhere. So I'm a little confused and some help on how to stop this mad shedding will be greatly appreciated. I'm thinking ox doing a post on shedding, trying to monitor and log my hair shedding over a certain period of time so stay tuned for that.

Anyway back to the title of this post. Here's how I wore my hair for work today. I was inspired by Effie (Jennifer Hudson) in dream girls when I watched the movie the night before. Here's how I achieved the look.

I combed out my hair with a pik and brought some hair forward so instead of pushing the hair back and tie with the scarf, I did the opposite. And then added a red butterfly clip from Cath Kidson and viola, new fave do. Hope u like it as much as I do. Here's a pic. Enjoy. BlogBooster-The most productive way for mobile blogging.

Hello Beautiful readers,

First of all let me start of by apologising for not keeping up with the regular postings, i've being kinda busy/lazy with other stuff but dont worry, i'm going to fill you in with some exciting new stuff about my HAIR.

As you must have seen/read the title of this post, YES today is my one month anniversary since i did my Big Chop in August. My TWA has been through soo much over the past few weeks, most of them i was really experimenting with what i could do with my uber short hair and i'm glad it didn't result in me running over to the hairdressers for either a relaxer or braids.

Here are some pics of my hair lately. i'm not so sure whether you can a see a difference (it kinda looks the same) but i know my hair has grown. it has become more thicker and fuller especially at the crown and around the hair line.

I have learned soo much about my hair in general in its ntural state than when it was relaxed. the reason why im saying this is because, for the past 2 weeks or so, i have been experiencing excessive shedding (too much moisture so i figured) so i tried the Aphogee Protein treatment and voila, my hair has stop shedding, well for now and this is the second time i've used this product. first was on transitioning hair, didnt see much of a difference.

Also experimenting with a TWA, my two best friends when it comes to hair styling are Bobby pins and ACCESSORIES. i'm never seen without these things in my  hair. i wasn't so keen on wash-and-go. I tried it but nah didnt like it much. i like doing twist out and bantu knots more. i know there are so many things i need to discover and learn and i think this is what makes my classy kinks journey sooo EXCITING.

Hope you had fun reading this post, please share with me your thoughts and ideas  which are greatly welcome. Until then , Take care, HHJ and God Bless xx
