I unexpectedly took out my TnC today instead of tomorrow and I absolutely love the way it came out. I fell in love with my hair all over again! *squeal*

One thing I like about it is that it seems as though it’ll last longer than my twist outs have been lasting (1 day). I feel like it also gives me the flexibility of changing it into other styles as the days go on. I’m excited!

This pic is when I just took the flexi-rods out.

This pic is when I just unraveled the twists.

…and here I am heading out. I didn’t fluff it as much as I could have in hopes that this will make it last a little longer. I figured it would fluff and loosen up on it’s own. Now what to do with it tonight? I’m going to try pineappling it and hope for the best in the morning.

XOXO,

I’ve been vacationing in the Dominican Republic for the past few days. While I usually enjoy my vacations, my hair doesn’t. It usually looks decent on vacations with my wash and go, but when I come back I’m faced with super dry hair and lots of breakage. I don’t know if it’s because of how I handle my hair on vacation, if it’s because my permed hair can’t take all of the washing, sea water and chlorine, or if I don’t use the right products while away.

I usually end up switching hair products when I go away because I don’t want to use any relatively expensive shampoos or conditioners since I’ll be washing my hair daily. This time around, I chose to use Kinky Curly’s Come Clean and Aussie Moist Conditioner. The shampoo I had been using for about a week or two and the conditioner I tested out before I left. I found that it left my hair very moisturized and it was inexpensive so I decided it would be a great pick for daily conditioning.

Surprisingly, I didn’t wear my hair in a curly ponytail for vacation, I stuck with my standard bun, which is really just my hair folded in half. It was less hassle, less product and less time to do.

I just got back last night and couldn’t be bothered with my hair. Today I washed my hair with DevaCurl’s No Poo and conditioned my hair for over an hour with my standard Shea Moisture’s Organic African Black Soap Balancing Conditioner. I have also been using Kinky Curly’s Knot Today regularly. It really makes my hair feel super soft when it’s wet. In addition to that, I use olive oil daily. Here’s my bun.
