Cool fall weather has finally arrived and we are in full swing with our fall holiday activities. You know, Fall Festivals, Pumpkin Patches, State Fair fun, and Halloween, of course. They’re a lot of fun, but they can also eat up the entire weekend. While this is my favorite time of year, it’s also the busiest because it is the…
When last we met up, I was getting back into finger coils. And as much as I love them, it takes over an hour (with interruptions) to coil my whole head. Which isn’t terrible for an every 10-14 day style. But I got tired of it real quick. So for a few weeks, I went to a styling technique that…
Don’t ask me why, but I’ve been procrastinating on my hair updates lately. I’ll come up with every other thing that needs to be done before I get around to posting here or on IG. But I definitely want to keep track of this hair journey. So here I am, late on a Friday night getting myself together and getting…
For the past few weeks, I’ve been bouncing all over the place. And doing my best to keep up with my hair. Deep conditioning with heat was on the back burner, but I did my best to, at the very least, slather on some conditioner before trying to style my hair. …some weeks, I didn’t even make it to the…
I keep telling myself, “one of these days, I’m going to wear my hair in an afro. Not today, but one day for sure.” My hesitation comes from it becoming a complete fail. And so I’ve only been doing my wash and go coils because I trust them. But here I am almost two weeks since this last wash day…
HELLO OUT THERE!!!! Can you believe it has been a little over 2 months since I big chopped?!? Sometimes I find myself shaking my head in amazement that I cut all my hair off! But then I think about why I did it and I’m happy I took the leap of faith. I’m definitely not walking around looking like an…
After last week’s finger coils fail, I attempted it once again this past weekend. And it was another hot mess. I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong or the products I’m using aren’t working well with it. But regardless of the reason why I can’t get it together, I’ll be leaving ‘full out’ finger coils alone for a while.…
I’ve been trying to see how many weeks I can go without shampooing. It had been 3 weeks since my last shampoo wash day. Since then I’ve been conditioner washing (or co-washing) my scalp with each wash day. But my scalp started itching me leading up to this wash day, so I knew it was time to shampoo. I’m thinking…
After getting my finger coils to last nine days using Eco Styler gel, I decided to give it another go in the hopes that I can make this once a week wash day a thing. This wash day features some new things, like my first time using an Ayurvedic hair paste and a new hair product. The herbs I chose…
It’s been about a week since cutting off my relaxed hair. And for every room I walked into (or person I encountered) I was met with various reactions — some interactions were more awkward than others. But despite being nervous about each impending interaction, I think I faired pretty well. The hardest part for me was talking about my hair.…
