Deep Conditioning Natural Hair

Deep conditioning is key to maintaining natural hair. Yes, natural hair needs water and moisture. Find a deep conditioner that works for you. I make my own using the Cantu Shea Butter Condtioning Repair Cream as my base. When you get home in the evening or on the weekend, liberally apply your conditioner and place a plastic shower cap on your head for as long as you want. Using your body's natural heat, deep condition your hair til your heart is content. I do this once a week.

Still Sporting the TWA

Greetings my fellow natural hair girls! Just a quick check in....my hair is as curly as ever and the As I Am Twist Defining Cream is still my drug of choice. Here is my latest pic!

Change is Good

I went camping over the memorial day weekend. I never would have done it if my hair wasn't natural. My husband said, "B, every since you went natural, you have been open to trying new things." Such a simple statement, such a massive meaning....I started living at 35....more new adventures to come.

Chris Rock, Good Hair

I believe Paul Mooney (I hope that's his name) the comedian that said"relaxers relax white people" is not a true statement! Since I began this natural hair journey, I have found quite a bit of support from the caucasian community. I can't really put my finger on it as to why but it is a pleasant surprise. let's be real.....life after the "big chop" is a constant pep talk and reminder of why you chose this journey, lol, but for real.

No More Relaxer

So I am finally finished cutting out any relaxer. I have done this in stages in an attempt to not be completely scalped, however, my hair is still pretty short. I have found that after trying several products, As I Am Twist Defining Cream is definitely the product that works for me right now. Stay tuned for more updates. I think I could get used to this blogging thing.....kinda like an internet natural hair diary for everyone to read, lol

My Journey- Natural Hair

Finally, I figured out how to get the "blog thing" going. My goal is to write about my natural hair journey. I am also hoping to write about my cosmetology education and the journey I am taking with my new pursuit of education. I want to reach out and meet other Tennessee naturals and those who have chosen to blog or vlog their natural hair experiences. More to come.......
