Well...Well....Well.....
So it seriously feels like I am a trifling mother who has abandoned her baby in hopes that Jesus will her pick up and raise her right.
Please forgive my absence.
But I'm back!!!
I'm going to post like crazy today. Take some pictures this weekend of this wild hair. It's currently in mini-twists (thank the Lawwwdddd) and I will be taking them out to wash, deep condition, and refresh. These mini-twists have literally saved my life. I have been soooo close to cutting my hair OFF soooo many days.
After your hair gets to a certain length (which I am mentally at....physically almost there!), it gets so much more tangled and becomes more of a hassle to deal with. My single strand knots have increased (probably because I was lacking on the protective styling) and the length difference between the front of my hair and the back is becoming more apparent. I would love to wear low buns but they just don't work because my bangs/front of my hair/the part I HAD to chop because of heat damage still have some catching up to do.
For the remainder of the summer, I will put myself on a set regimen to really get the most moisture and protection for my hair. The MOST important thing that I have decided to do this summer is continue to wear scarves and turbans. Natural women have the urge to wear their hair out and free during the summer however, this is when your hair is most susceptible to dryness and damage. Even if you moisturize your hair regularly, exposing your hair to the sun allows the sun to evaporate all the moisture you just put in. Usually I moisturize and seal then put of my headwrap of choice. Also, the direct sunlight to my hair makes my scalp really hot....it literally feels like my head is on fire. NEGATIVE!!! I'll continue to wear my headwraps ALL year around. Woot!
If you do wear your hair out & about...PLEASE remember to seal your hair with some type of oil. This will give you an extra layer of protection against 'moisture evaporation'.
I'm about to run out to grab lunch with my mommy. Be back soon!!!!
*Awww.....it feels great to post again*
Love, Peace, and Soul Glo

Hello ladies!!!
Just dropping by very quickly to let ou know that i will be doing a big chop once I get back from Sweden. I really feel like i need a fresh start on EVERYTHING after these 6 months. I plan on doing the Master cleanse for 30 days(I am going to try) only eat seafood, veggies and fruits. I also want to use all natural products as much as possible. I am not my hair and I don't believe long hair is for everyone. I will experiment with regimen and see how my hair improves and progresses but I have realized that my hair is just to fine and curly to maintain any length passed my shoulder. I lose tons of hair everyday in the shower, detangling or even running my fingers over my hair. It hasn't begun to look thin but I think starting over fresh will be the best thing for me. Besides, I want to start working out ALOT and who wants to deal with sweaty long hair everyday. Not I.
Hope you guys are enjoying your summer!!

My Version Of.....
This Curly Girl Method has been ALL over Youtube and hair blogs lately. So naturally I decided to give it a try.
But of course I'm doing my own version. I won't be doing any type of Wash-N-Go's. Those are just not my style. I will doing a rotation of mini/2-strand twists and twist out styles. I am still actually trying to get used to wearing my hair out and about. Protective styles are what I live for!
I love the finger detangling aspect of the method. I was losing so much hair when I was combming/brushing my hair. Like clumps seriously. Now....I'm really taking time with my hair and since I keep my hair stretched like 99% of the time....it's becoming easier to do and manage.
I'm going to have to find a good, organic conditioner and stock UP!
Happy hair journeys!!!

2 Things....
1. Congrats to Felicia and Thomas on their engagement!!!
2. Because we have a wedding to attend within the next year....we really need to get on our hair regimen/challenge. Felicia and I shared a vision (literally) about our hair on her wedding day. We have a lot of work to do!!!!
I had cornrows for 17 days....the longest time I've ever kept cornrows in. I was soooo ready to take them out but I wasn't ready to tackle my hair again so I put in mini-twists again. I took down one braid and twisted the section. I made everything much easier to control.
Hope all is well.
Love, Peace, and Shea Butter!
