Natural Hair Journey Update

It has been nearly three months since I made the commitment to not heat style my hair for an entire year. It has been an absoloutely wonderful journey. My sister has even decided to go natural.













I thought I should post some updated pictures and share some of my product staples.

Style: Natural Curl






Products: Kinky Curly Pomade






Review: I don't wear this style often because as you can see my curl pattern is really tight, and my hair shrinks a lot. I like it because of how springy it is. Before I learned out to do a really good twist-out, I used to love Kinky Curly Pomade. Since I've been twisting my hair at least once a week and wearing a twist out on a regular basis, I have fallen in love with it. One thing I did notice once I had worked all of the product through my hair was that it made my hair heavy. When I was finished working the product throughout my hair, it was heavy.







P.S. Notice my niece's oh so cute twists!

6/4/2010 - Back Shot

Style: Chunky Twists

Products: Water, Carol's Daughter Healthy Hair Creme

Review: So pretty much since I returned from Baltimore, I've been wearing my hair in small twists during the week and rocking a full twist out on Sunday (or whenever I have somewhere to go). I loved this because the protective styling has been so good for my hair, but it takes me 3 hours to complete the twists. So last Friday night, I put some really chunky twists in my hair to see what the twist out would look like. The end result: I loved it!! The twist out lasted longer than my ususal twist outs from my small twists. So, I did it agai today.

Note: I don't leave home with these twists. I usually put them in at night and sleep with them then take them out in the morning.

Here's the finished twist-out!
