So...I Big Chopped

As of November 23, 2010 your girl is officially natural. Yes, I finally ended my 18 month transition and I did it without losing my sanity in the process.

So, what's new?

  • I am now washing my hair biweekly, with dry styling as needed in between.
  • I am using Karen's Body Beautiful products (review to come).
  • I will not press my hair out until June 2011, which will be one year without heat.
  • I have as much as 8 inches in some spots. My goal for the June press is 12. This will take me to just above apl.
I think that's about it. I missed you guys. Toots and I have to do better.

Wedding Hair

The wedding has been come and gone and many people have asked for a post on my wedding hair.  Since it seems like Miss G is never going to write again (she has much to update us on), I figured I might as well step up to the plate. 

As the wedding was approaching, I could not figure out how I wanted to wear my hair.  I knew I didn't want to wear it straight or weaved down my back.  I was thinking of going with just a regular bun, but came across this picture on the net.

It was perfect!  It was chic and textured and would look perfect with my birdcage veil and fascinator.  I sent to my hairdresser so she could mentally prepare for the trial run.  On the day of the trial run, I brought my veil to see how it would all look.  She did some flat twists, I sat under the dryer for at least 2 hour and my hair still wasn't completely dry.  At this time, I'm thinking that this wasn't going to work because I didn't not 4 hours to spend in the salon on my wedding day.  Nonetheless, this was the result of the trial run.


Not 100% in love, but it was getting there- I could see my vision coming together.  On the day of the wedding, it all come together and in under 3 hours!  Here is the final product.
