Transition Update

This weekend 1/30/09 I will be 10 weeks post relaxer. It's still challenging and exciting at the same time. I will be putting in my braids in about two weeks which will relieve my self of trying to come up with cute styles on my two textured hair. So far, Ive been coming up with some cute styles with my braidouts, but I'm running out of ideas. This is my frequently worn style, but it's getting pretty old.

Deep conditioning Day

It's a Cold Sunny Saturday day and I'm sitting around the house with my shower cap on deep conditioning my hair. I think I've had this on for about 2 hours now. That's just how I do when I'm not doing anything for the day. I'm getting away from using heat when I deep condition. I just let my head heat under the cap condition. I'm about to wash it out now and braid it up for my braid out this week. I'm loving my curly new-growth, can't wait until it grows out more.

Transitioning , Im going for it!

So every since I've been a part of the hair forums and watching youtude vids, I have put in some serious thought about transitioning my hair to natural. So far this weekend I will be two months post relaxer and my new growth feels so nice and curly and very easy to comb through. It's the relaxed part that is giving me a hard time, split ends, tangles and breakage. For the past week, I have been rockin, braid outs and loving it. Since I work out daily, I have to wash my hair at least twice a week.

Yesterday I did a midweek co-wash and I only combed my hair in the shower with my jilbere comb and then I applied my leave in condish and ORS moisture on my wet hair, braided it up and curled under the ends and went to bed. So, so simple, didn't have to worry about blowdrying and straightning it. This is still my little secret from my friends and most of my fam, they will have negative comments I know, especially my BF, we had a falling out over it back in October 08'. So, what I have decided to do it transition slowly, Im going to let my hair grow out and cut little by little. I'm goin to keep rockin' the braidouts and Im thinking of getting mig micro-braids, not the real skinny ones that will cause hair breakage, get those for about three months then take them out and see how much length of new growth I have.

This is a huge life decision for me, I just hope it goes as Ive planned. I not going to mention it to anyone really, Im just going to show them the results. I know it's going to look gorgeous....I'm in for the long haul...Well gotta get back to work now...Dueces

My 2009 Resolutions

Im sure you're probably thinking, yeah yeah another resolution, but Im so sincere about this, I have three resolutions for this year and beyond. Firstly, Im going to get my health in check, Ive joined the gym at my job (they are taking money from my paycheck, so you know I'll be taking full advantage) it's convenient, I can go straight down stairs after work, workout and then go home, no gas wasted....This leads me to my second resolution, getting my finances in order and sticking to a budget. I have student loans to start paying, so I have to monitor where I spend and how much I spend...money, money, money the root of all evil. My third resolution is to get healthy hair, I've been a member of Hairluvbugs since Sept 08 and I am serious about getting my hair to its optimal health. Check out my Where you can find me post! Well until next time...Dueces!
