Hair Updates

So since my blog is mainly about hair and beauty (it supposed to be anyways :p) I will do a hair update!

If your new to my blog, around a year and a half ago I cut off all my hair. It was about an inch long when it had been bra strap length. Ive cut it a lot since then, straight across the bottom to make it all one length eventually but Ive regretted doing that! Its growing out in a weird shape now. I dont advise doing that lol Ive cut my own ends all along the way as well. So needless to say I think its a bit uneven but I also love it some days. I am not using heat on my hair as much as I was before which was mainly about once a month. I dont have time to straighten it now. most days I just wear it in a bun or a high pony tail puff thing. These pictures are today and its a 3 day old wash n go. I used Tressame naturals moisturizing conditioner as my leave in, hairveda vatika frosting as my sealant, and I used kinky curly curling custard on top of that. That sutff usually gives me multiple day hair with a wash n go.

Its Been A LONG TIME!

So you may or may not be wondering why I just fell off the face of the blogging world...one I was pregnant and having a 2 year old who is too smart for his own good and being preggie is HARD. I was exhausted! Two...our laptop broke. However we now are back in action! So just to recap, we had our baby girl July 17th 2012 she was 8lbs 12oz, I was induced a week early so she wouldnt be bigger than our son was. For now you can relive the past few months through pictures :) random order due to the fact im nursing at the same time as posting this :)

Back to the Basics.

My hair is not its normal self and hasnt really been for a looong time. I keep thinking what the heck is going on with my hair?? Its more dry than normal, more fragile. I colored my hair back when I big chopped and that part of my hair seems to be a mess. My hair that is still virgin hair which is a good half of my hair strand is thicker, shinier, stronger feeling, the parts that have color on them are just thinning out, breaking, and dry. I have come to the conclusion A. Im never coloring my hair again...and B.I need to get back to what worked for my hair in the beginning. YEARS ago when I started my healthy hair I stopped using products that hair silicone's or any ingredients that werent natural. I was about 99 percent natural in my products. These days I've been using a little bit of everything. Then I would only use sulfate free shampoos because I was only using natural products so I didnt feel the need to use anything stronger. Now, since Im using products with silicone's I have been using sulfate shampoos just about weekly. So Im gonna go ahead and start getting back to the basics with my hair, natural products only. No heat. Im going to TRY to make it to my delivery before I flat iron my hair again. I am going to start deep conditioning my hair once a week and truly commit to wrapping my hair up at night because that is a big problem for me. I ALWAYS forget or am just too lazy to get up out of bed and grab my scarf. When I do wrap my hair I notice a HUGE difference in how soft my hair is the next morning. So one conditioner Ive been wanting to try is the Yes To brand. Particularly Yes to Carrots. As far as my sealing oils they have always worked and been the same. Coconut, Castor, or Olive Oils. Hairvedas Vatika Frosting, and Shea butter, most recently my shea mix I made. I need to learn how to twist my hair better so I can start wearing protective twist. So tonight is my starting point. I just clarified my hair and right now I have Curl Junkie Curl Rehab on with a shower cap doing a DC. Ill rinse, then apply the Kimmaytube Leave In mix of Kinky Curly Knot Today, Aloe Vera Juice, Castor and JoJoba Oils. Twist and wrap then go to bed :)

OH! we find out the sex of the baby the 27th :) Nothing about this pregnancy feels like my first besides feeling miserable haha.
