my inspiration

don't really have a lot to blog on...being just lazy I haven't really bothered doing much to my hair think I might just get it braided/twisted or just cut it short for my bday next month...I beleive its tangling  because of split ends and damage dispite me cutting a lot off. So I'll have to get it taken care of. In the mean time check out this interview with Chrisette Michelle via Necole Bitchie its old but maybe its new to you http://necolebitchie.com/2010/04/13/chrisette-michelle-goes-natural/#more-68622

the current state

I know its been a minute since I last posted sorry bout that. But I'm loving the state my hair is in right now except it seems to get tangeled and knotted a lot. I sleep on a satin pillow and try to always wear my cap I admit sometmes I forget though but I always use a satin pillowcase it not terrible but slightly anoying. I been wearing the poof for a couple of weeks now I try to twist it aleast once a week but for the most its wash and go lol just being lazy bout it.  I either do a quick cowash with a lil conditionier in the shower or just wet it down and go thru my usual rotine of shea moisture, oil, and I add a lil gel (eiter curlz or eco styler). I want to change it up but  I'm torn between getting it cut at a salon or just putting in short braids for the summer...sigh

more stuff :)

becoming a product junkie as I am still on the search for what works and doesn't work. Made a nice shea moisture mix (used coconut oil, grapeseed oil, and ovil oil all brought at Giant!) I also added a lil of my essential oil mix I've been using for a while now which is a mix of oilve, sweet almond, and castor oil. In other news I got complimented on the afro puff which is crazy since a I haven't cowashed all week and my twist was from the weekend before. I love the definition I am getting now and sis is quite jellie lol.

quick update: Bantu knot experiment

tried bantu knots and used the mango cholesterol I brought from Sally's. First I washed with my aphogee then I sectioned my hair applied the cholesterol along with some oil and used it as de-tangeler. I used my fingers and my Tangle Teaser and detangled. Then I twisted the sections. After that I wrap the twist around my finger then secured with pins. After I was done wrapped it with a big scarf. This morning when I took my shower I just rinsed my hair (pins out of course). Then wrapped it back up in my mirotowel to air dry..I want to try this again as this is experiment especially using the cholesterol and the last part. I also rushed it cause it was supa late lol..if you want to try bantu knots just search on youtube, I watched Naptual85's tutorial (She's also on my blog roll.) or SimplyUnique (who's closer to my length). You can make these any size. I'll let you know how it comes out tomorrow.

I think I may have a problem

LOL..I think I'm becoming a real product junky...but I am using the stuff I buy. I brought my mist and the mango choloesterol everyone was raving about from Sally's. I think I'm going to try that this w/e. The Aussie just wasn't cutting it for me :(. I'm still trying out stuff and seeing what works but storage has started to be a problem. my closet and bedroom is pretty small so I'm going out to buy another container/roller dresser this w/e. Sigh I have 2 already. In other news I chopped off most of my relaxed ends. I was bored at home so I decided to chop em off myself. Now I'm rockin a mid sized afro/afropuff..bigger then it should be I think. So I still might go ahead and get it professionally done at the end of the month. I also think its still uneven although it does feel betta then that lopsided tangeled mess of whatever it was before. I read somewhere that you don't have to wash your hair every week? I used to do that when I was relaxed but I don't know by the end of the week my head is itching with or without using gels. I feel betta when I wash but I use my Shea Moisture one week and Kinky curly the next. I still use Apoghee too every now and then (trying to use that up) but besides that I don't usually use normal shampoos. It works for me so I'mma stick with it. I don't know how my head would look a week or two without putting some sorta suds on it. Just water aint gonna do the trick. My sis asked me to try a Black n Sassy product. I tried it on my hair dry and idk if I'm feeling it but it does remind me of Miss Jessie's amazingly enough so maybe I'll give it another try doing it the way she suggested.
Speaking of my lil sis she has been natural for over a year now, and was my inspiration. So I want to do a feature/interview with her when she has the time. I'm also hoping we can do some product reviews together or/ and have her write on the blog as well. Thinking about calling it the Twisted Sistas segment lol. Or maybe I'll just change the name of the blog. Depending on how dedicated she wants to be to it. I'll keep you guys posted. Oh pics of the new hair will be posted either today or tomorrow. Lata XOXO
