One year ago today, I did the unexpected. I cut off more than half of my hair.
Over the last year, I’ve learned a lot, I’ve tried a million and one new products, I found a few things that work, I found a few things that didn’t work, I’ve missed my relaxed hair, I’ve missed the length of my hair, I’ve discovered the texture of my natural hair, I’ve had ups and downs, but I’m still here… 100% natural.
Today, if even just for a moment, I let it all hang out!
XOXO,

This should have been posted on Saturday, but… I dunno. Read on.
I’m in Floridaaaaa! (Just for the weekend though).
I didn’t want to straighten my hair for the humidity and possibly the pool, so I left it curly. I did a curly puff on Friday morning and used Taliah Waajid’s Curly Curl Cream. I didn’t really love the results. My hair shrunk more and more as it dried and it began to feel hard.
Today I did a curly puff again. This time I used Carol’s Daughter Hair Milk on wet hair. It wasn’t curling as I expected so I added some Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie and my curls popped. I had much less shrinkage and my hair doesn’t feel dry.
I used my usual Fantasia Gel in the front. When I return to NY, I’ll be straightening my hair again. You know I’m nervous about getting ssk’s and straightening it is the only way for me to keep an eye in my ends.
XOXO,
