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.

Better late than never- Curlformer Results

So, a long time ago..a reader asked Miss G if her curlformers would come out the same for someone who's all natural?  Miss G asked me to post a picture of what my hair looks like when I remove my curlformers since I have no (read: little or neglible) relaxer left.  I recently took my senegalese twists out and have since been back to styling my hair so of course I had to do one of my reliable curlformer sets.  Here are my results:


Before using the curlformers, I did a DC on dry hair using Aubrey Organics Honeysuckle Rose for about 2 hrs and then I co-washed with Herbal Essence Hello Hydration.  (I love that stuff)  I used more of the HEHH as a leave-in (not a ton) and used Giovanni Natural Mousse to set.  I slept with them in overnight.  When I finally took these out, these were the results.  I hadn't done them in a while so I didn't know what to expect, but I was extremely pleased.  My hair was super soft and I think that was due to my 2 hr DC.  They lasted for about 3 days, but that's because I wanted to finally try out a dry bantu knot out.  (I'll post pics soon, I promise)  I'm sure I could've gotten at least another day or 2 out of them especially if I remixed by pinning up.  In summary, my love affair with curlformers continues and I believe that most anyone, from transitioning to completely natural can use them.

Happy Curlforming!
