Happy Sunday

I have been away. I have been a little busy but the last time that I was on here I said that I was doing the yarn braids and I started doing about 5 of them and I quit. I wasn't feeling it at all at the time but I did measure the yarn and cut it so some time this week I will make another attempt at it. I really need to do a protective style. Friday was my birthday and I had a wonderful time. I will upload the pictures later.

See you guys later!

Hello

I'm putting in yarn braids after I said that I wouldn't. I have hands in head syndrome so I think that I need to do a protective style for a little while. I will show pictures when I am done.

See ya soon!

My first wash and go with Eco Styling Gel. Loved it!!!

I have been natural since August 2010 and I had yet to do a wash and go.After purchasing the Eco I decided that it was time to go for it.I washed my hair with the Tressemme shampoo and conditioner and left some conditioner on my hair and applied the Eco. Let me tell you, I love it. So today I spritzed it with my mixture of water, leave in conditioner and olive oil and this will be my second day wash and go.If you haven't tried it you should cause I love my hair.

My mini haul from CVS and Sally Beauty Supply

In keeping with not spending a whole lot I purchased some hair products. Although I have made the decision to go natural I have decided to still dye my hair.I don't dye often but I do dye my hair. My head is almost completely gray.
Here goes: The CVS in the next town over always has sales on hair accessories. So I went there thinking that I could find some cute ones and they had none but what I did find was hair dye for $1.75 a box(screaming).
And I also needed some shampoo and conditioner. Tresemme had shampoo and conditioner on sale 2 for $7.00(screaming).
I got a sales paper from Sally's and I have never tried Eco styling gel but that is all the rave on youtube. Well Sally's has it for $2.99 until March 31st(screaming)
And last but not least was my African shea butter for $14.00. Loves it. We use it for everything so that is why I went over my $10.00 threshold. until next time. See ya later!

Today's Hair

This was my hair from today. I took my girls to see the Justin Bieber movie and I loved it. I mean WE loved it. But I went to Sally's and CVS yesterday. Did a little haul. I'm not a big shopper and I said in the beginning I will not be buying any items that are more than $10.00 and I plan to stick to that. I will show them in a picture. I will say that I paid $14.00 for my shea butter but we all use it and we use it for our body also.
But I flat twisted my hair in the front and twisted the back with shea butter and picked my hair a little this morning. The headband came from CVS for $.75.

Transitioning From Relaxed to Natural: A Few Tips

I thought that this was a good video for anyone transitioning and you don't wanna do the big chop. She is very informative and encouraging.

I love this video! This embraces all that I'm teaching my 3 and 5 year old girls.

Two strand twist out.

I thought that I would have kept my twists in longer than this but I decided to take them out since I guess I have nothing better to do. I really like it and I swear it seems to be longer than when I twisted it up the other day. It is probably just me thinking that though(lol). I have also been contemplating putting my yarn braids in as a protective style until May 1st. It is just a thought though because I don't know about sitting there braiding my hair for that many hours. I'm really loving my hair so I don't think that I wanna get rid of my own hair for 2 months. So here is a picture of my twist out. I hope that you can see it!

My two strand twists that I have been wearing for 3 days.LOVE IT!

These are just some styles that I have been wearing lately. I did a two strand twist and I have been wearing that now for 3 days. More pictures to come.
