I couldn't take it anymore

So after 2 weeks of having my hair in yarn twists I finally could't take it anymore I missed my hair and I needed a deep conditioner like no bodies business. So I started at 5:30pm and finished around 8pm could have been finished much earlier but I had to stop and eat. Anyway after I finished removing my yarn twists I did a pre-poo application.


These are the products I used: VO5 Moisture Milks Passion Friut Smoothie, Pompeian Imported Extra Virgin Olive Oil, and Pure Bee Kist Honey.

I mixed all of these ingrediets in a bowl divided my hair into four sections applied from root to tip then applied a shower cap and let the pre-poo sit on my hair for 45 minutes. Then I jumped in the shower and began to rinse out the pre-poo mix. I decided to try a new shampoo and conditioner, one that I have heard many things about.

So far I am loving the way this shampoo and condition makes my hair feel. I had plans on deep conditioning my hair but since I did an extensive pre-poo I changed my mind. I think I am going to give my hair a couple more weeks and then I am going to do a big chop. Didn't feel like styling my hair so I moisturized my hair with some Cantu Shea Butter Leave in Conditioner and my shea butter mix and threw in some Bantu knots. I'm really not expecting much curl because it was a rush job.

I miss my hair

I have had my yarn twists in since November 29, 2009 and while I love them I am dying to take them out so I can have my own own hair back.I am going to do my darndest to keep them in until December 20 but at this moment another week and a few days is not looking to good.
Last night to combat some of the itchiness and to moisturize & condition my hair I came up with my own mix. I took my spray bottle that I bought at walmart for 97cents filled it a quarter of the way with water, 2TBSP of coconut oil, 1 tsp of honey, 2TBSP of Hair Mayonaise and 2TBSP of Cantu Shea Butter Leave in conditioner. I then added some more water replaced the cap and shook the spray bottle to mix the contents. I did this for about 2 minutes then I placed the spray bottle sans the top into the microwave for 45seconds just to warm the oil and melt some of the products so they would mix better. I divided my hair into several small sections ans saturated my roots the yarn twists, I then massaged the warm oil into my scalp, twisted the individual sections and donned a shower cap. I wrapped my hair up and called it a night. In the morning my hair felt moisturized was less itchy and because I twisted the twists they came out all crinkly.
This crinkly look was cute but I didn't want to wear my hair down so I came up with an alternate style. I french braided the twists across the front to the left then all around the back to form a mock crown. Most likely this is going to be the style I wear when I go home to visit for Christmas wednesday.
My next hair adventure is going to be another Baking Soda/ Apple cider vinegar scalp scrub. Normally I would just wash my hair but seeing that winter is in full effect and I am not trying to go out in the cold weather with a wet head. But I know when I do finally take my hair down i am going to pre-poo, shampoo and deep condition my hair. Still undecided about doing the big chop yet for the New Year but we shall see.

I am not my hair volume 1

I decided to start this blog so I could have a record of transitioning from relaxed to natural hair, and to chronicle how I'm feeling at the moment about. I have been transitioning since September 2009 it actually may have been in July but since I can't remember and I know for a fact I did not get a relaxer in September I am going to go from there. Anyway after watching countless hours of videos on youtube about natural hair care and different protective styles I decided to put my hair in yarn twists.



I'm kinda feeling this style and going to at least keep it in for a month. These are so versatile and I can do almost any hairstyle with them. Here are a few I have tried out so far. Ofcourse I rocked the basic ponytail but quickly got bored with this style so I twisted my hair in the front and twisted the hair up in the back. After this I kept the twists in the front but french braided the back. I don't know what style I am gonna do tomorrow but I know I got to keep it interesting or I will get bored and want to take my hair down and we can't havethat.
