Trying times

Oh how my transition process was terriblllllle!!. From spending time using rods at night and waking up to a catastrophe in the morning. My hairstyles never came out the way I wanted them to look because the roots and ends were two different textures. I tried flat ironing to help manage it, capital D for disaster! I tried all kinds of cheap oils from Pennywise and they clearly didn't work, I was even more fraustrated and didn't know what else to do. The only hairstyle that really worked for me was finger coils and twist outs.
What worked for you? Drop me a line or two πŸ˜‰πŸ˜‰

  1. The last time I put chemicals in my hair was July 2016. It was a difficult but necessary decision but making the big chop was still painful. Since one of my daughters is a naturalista she was able to guide me in choosing hair products. I did not have much difficulty. The African Pride line of products work wonderfully for me and is easily accessible. Now I embrace this new and natural me!!!

Leave and go !!!

The key to maintaining moisture in natural hair is a great leave in conditioner. Mixtress J has an amazing leave in conditioner that works wonderssssss for your hair. Then there's the Irish Moss and my oh my, its a wonderful product that keeps the hair moisturized by only using a small amount rubbed in the palm of your hands and massaged into your hair. I swear by it. It also has a great scent and works well to fight the frizz on those humid days. This thing is sooo good that you can use it as a "wash and go" with no product build up.  Trust meh

My big decision

Well ya girl walked into a store to try on some wigs as I didn't know what else to do with my hair. First wig made me look like I was wearing a scooter helmetπŸ˜†. I eventually found one that suited me because combing my hair wasn't an option anymore. I was literally fed up. I clipped off the relaxed ends and rocked the hell out of my wig. I totally slayed it. Lols. But then, the big decision came. To chop or not to chop, and boy was I scared. I took a whole two days contemplating what to do. Guess what I did. Yup !!! off it came πŸ˜‚

Popular Natural Hair brands

 Shea moisture, Aunty Jackie,Cantu and Carol's daughter are some of the most popular brands that women of color use on their natural hair. Some products can either work for you,as well as against you. Trying out different products can sometimes end up being  very costly. I have personally tried Shea moisture to help put moisture back into my already dry hair and it just made it worse 😒. My hopes were really high but I ended up being soooo disappointed. That meant, on to the next product, and the dry hair struggle continues. So many products to choose from and yet some are just marketing gimmicks. Happy choosing !!!!!
