The Truth Is…

The truth is…

I’ve done almost nothing with my hair over the past two weeks. I’ve washed it once and blow dried it so it would be easier to manage.

I wore my hair in a bun for the last two weeks. Last week, I only finger detangled my hair, I didn’t comb it. This week I combed it about every other day.

I’ve been trying to keep the front smooth. I use my Curls Creme Brûlée and it works quite well. Yesterday was extremely humid in the morning though, so it didn’t work too well. As soon as i left the house, the front started to curl back up. I looked absolutely crazy for the whole day, with a fuzzy halo. I decided to use gel today.

In addition, I’ve actually been successfully using coconut oil to moisturize my hair. Usually it leaves my hair feeling dry, but I think using less at a time is better. My hair feels great.

I’ve been planning to straighten it again, but it’s been so rainy every week that I know it would be pointless.

A Trip Down Memory Lane

Posted in Uncategorized by

I remember when I first started this blog. It was when Kim Coles’ Grow Out Challenge ended. I was so excited to be documenting my hair journey and although that challenge ended, I wanted to keep going.

I met so many great people on that site. I found myself always drawn to people who I thought had hair textures similar to mine. I would try to mimic their hairstyles. Back then I had the length to do that. I thought that whatever products they used would automatically work for me because our hair textures were similar. That was a huge misconception.

Absolutely fell in love with Shelli’s hair. I thought her hair texture was very similar to mine, until my hair started to grow out more. I realized my hair was much curlier. She had THE BEST and most creative styles. Her style gallery was ridiculous.

I remember when I saw Michelle’s hair and she was looking for a hair twin. I don’t even remember why. LOL. I commented saying that I think we could be hair twins… until I realized my hair was much curlier than hers too. There went that idea. LOL.

Although Miss Mickey doesn’t blog anymore, she had hair to die for. Her hair was sooooo long. You know I’m obsessed with long hair. Granted, she always wore it in a bun, but she had the biggest, fullest bun. We were both trying to ween ourselves off of gel. LOL.

Another blogger with great hairstyles is Tia Shauntee. Most of her styles are protective styles and are quick and easy to do. When I have more length, I’ll try more styles.

I don’t know about you guys, but I’m in a hair slump. I need inspiration. Help!
