Aussie and natural hair and my nappy anniversary and why I don't do youtubes..yet

Ok so I was at CVS picking up a few things and I noticed they keep amping up on their hair products. They seem to have more products normally carried at salons and beauty supplies, and other larger stores. I watched a coupled of the naturalistas youtubes' and a few of them have mentioned using Aussie in their hair arsenal. Didn't know CVS carried it but looking for curly products I came across the big purple bottles. I know I was looking for an replacement for my shea moisture curling mist and I decided to pick the up the hair insurance leave in conditioner. It was about 7.00 for 8 fl oz. (vs $10 for the curl styling mist) I used it last night and it smells nice and doesn't seem to have a lot of bad stuff in it atleast no alchol like a lot of the other sprays seem to contain. Leave Ins contain Alchol I guess as a preservative but its drying so it actually helps it do the opposite of what it supposed to do. Aussie's leave in is ok as far as leaving my hair moisturized. I'm not crazy way the bottle sprays in just one area of the head so I might put it in another bottle. Alteast as for now I'll use it but I can't see it being a replacement for my mist. I'll probably try to see if I can find it at Walgreens since Shea Moisture is now carried their as well and I rather go there for a quick pickup then troll around in Target.

So guess what guys its March. I got my last relaxer around in March so its not my nappiversary  yet. I'm guessing it was around June of last year I decided to stop relaxing and then a few months later after I realized it was so damaging I stopped flat ironing it as well. I cut off a lot of the relaxed hair and now I believe I am pretty much all naturale. Here a fun unknown fact.. I did a few youtubes with crazy looking hair lol. I just started transitioning here and still experimenting and had no idea what I was doing. I'm embarased to post this but what the hell...here is one of my first you tubes after going natural. . I brought my styling mist in this haul I showed off in this vid. Again I apologize for my hair geesh lol. Also take note of the damage as in this vid done in 2009 my hair looked longer and healthier..sigh

I haven't bothered doing any vlogs not that I haven't tried I've been have diffculty with the audio and the video cam quality. I haven't felt the need to splurge anoter 150 or so on another cam either. So I don't know if or when I'll be doing anymore unless I learn how to edit youtube videos better. I don't know how to do that either. Maybe once I feel like I'm more comfortable with editing and shooting the vids I'll post some.
