Hair Schedule all messed up

Well since I have started back working my hair schedule is all messed up but I am not going to let it get me down I am just going to have to rework some things and see how it goes until then I'm still going to rock my twists.

Totally Twisted

So once again I was surfing the net looking for hairstyles to try out on my TWA. All last week I wore puffs or a curly fro but this week I needed something new. There isn't much I can do with my hair at the moment because it is so short but I'm willing to try anything once. So the style I chose this time is similar to a previous style I did before. I did two strand twists all over my head except on the left side of my head, this is where I flat twisted my hair diagonally and then 2 strand twisted the ends.


Products Used:
My conditioner Mix-- VO5 Moisture Milks Passion Fruit Smoothie with Water
My Shea Butter Mix
IC Fantasia Gel- The pink one
Castor Oil to seal

How I achieved this style:

First I saturated my hair with my conditioner mix then I divided my hair into several sections, the only section I actually parted out was the left side for the flat twists.

I first started on the right side. I re-spritzed my hair with my conditioner mix the applied some IC fantasia gel to my hair and started to 2 strand twist my hair.

The next section I did was the front, I 2 strand twisted my hair towards the front using the same products I used on the right side. Next I moved on to the left side of my hair, I divided my hair into sections and then started to flat twist my hair and then 2 strand twisted the ends. My hair was starting to get a little dry so I re-spritzed my hair, my hair sucks up water.

Now it was time to finally tackle the back of my head, I usually get tired around this section and get a little lazy and getting sloppy with my twists but these actually came out nice.

Yay!! Today marks my 1 month post Big Chop

As the title says today March 15, 2010 is the 1 month mark since I decided to do the big chop. I am still in love with my TWA. I still get some friends that ask why I cut my hair and now what do I plan to do. Well I plan to let my hair grow and I cut my hair because the 2 textures were not whats up anymore and it was time to get rid of my damaged ends. Not going to do a length check yet because it's only been a month and I really want something to celebrate in a few months. Here are some pictures from February 15, 2010 and today.

The first picture of each angle is from February 15. Not much growth as far as I can see but my hair is definitely looking more healthy and I definitely got rid of most of those straight ends, till have a few but not many left.

Operation grow part 1

So I have been examining my hair and once again staring me in my face is my diminishing nape line. I'm pretty this is do to all the ponytails I used to wear back in the relaxer days and the fact that 90% of the time my beautician started my touch-ups in the back of my hair. So my hair was stressed from the ponytails and then from over processing. Well now is the time to take my hair back and I am starting a campaign to regrow my nape line. At the moment I have no idea what I'm going to do or use for the first few weeks I am going to be experimenting but I do know I am going to definitely not going to add any undue stress on my nape line.

For the people following this blog I want to say thanks for following and commenting. I love the feedback and support. Also if anyone has any tips, suggestions, etc about regrowing my nape line feel free to leave me a comment. I'm still very new to this natural hair care life so all suggestions are welcome.

TIA, Crystal

Ode to my curlie Q

So I pulled my hair into a a puff an went on my way to church and when I returned home while in the washroom I caught a quick glance at this strand of hair that had slipped down and what did I see.

I was just commenting how I'm starting to see more and more curls everyday and here is a relatively long one with nice definition that I was actually able to capture wit my camera.

So ofcourse I had to post the pictures. Don't mind me I am just finding this journey to be an amazing one.
