I was finally able to create some sort of a style from my second day TnC. It’s very simple. Just a swoop and a bun. It’s actually a style I’ve always loved, even in my days of relaxed hair. All week I’ve been trying different and probably some crazy looking styles.

One particular day, one of the doctors I work with said she didn’t really like my style. *gasp* Nobody asked her for her personal opinion, but we’re cool, so I took it. I actually didn’t really love my style that day either. (Actually, the style was good, I just didn’t put enough time into making it work for me). I decided to try a different style everyday and she would vote on it. So far, the TnC is her favorite. It’s been pushing me to experiment more. I think I’m finally understanding that my hair will have good days and bad days, like everything in life.

I was always the type of person who had every hair in place. It’s true when they say that having natural hair isn’t only about learning to work with a different hair texture, but also removing everything you’ve been brainwashed to believe stands for beauty.

Here’s my style…

Sooooo… about that pineappleing…

I’ve done it before with my twist outs and it worked out really well. Last night though… not so much! When I unveiled my head this morning, it was sort of all over the place. I shook it and put a few pieces into place and it eventually worked out. The real culprit was the permed ends. I can’t wait until it’s fully grown out, you don’t even know! I’m working on my patience though because I don’t want to have to sacrifice too much length throughout this journey.

So I’m sitting here with Day Two hair wondering what to do with it for tomorrow. I’m pretty sure it won’t be able to make it through a complete third day. What to do? Decisions. Decisions.

Can I just add that my hair feels sooooo soft and moisturized. I attribute it to the CURLS Creme Brule. That’s the only thing different that I added to the mix.

Here’s my Day Two TnC…

Here’s a close up. The natural hair doing what it’s supposed to do, fluffing nicely… and the permed ends doing what they do best. Just being stringy and unproductive. LOL

We’ll see what tomorrow holds. Thanks for reading.

XOXO,
