At the urging of the fabulous Serenity_23, I am here to do a lil' natural hair update! I am approaching 8 months as a natural (this time around) and my hair has truly become my favorite accessories. I am down to a few staples (cheap V05 Conditioner, Baking Soda, Coconut Oil, and KCC Knot Today leave in conditioner) and am starting to play with a few styles...like to see a few pics? Here we go:
Re-discovering the magic of Bobby pins...LOL
The picked out Afro. I know I look awful in this pic...the things I do for my blog...
I couldn't find a headband so I decided to braid the front of my hair into one....

I was attempting to add more pictures but Typepad is acting quite meth-headdish! Stretched out, I have approximately 7 inches of length, a far cry from what I had when I did the pic chop! Lately, I've taken to washing more often and wearing a wash n go since I've been working out and cannot stand sweaty hair. I have to admit that it feels good yet strange to get a compliment on my OWN hair. The best feeling? No glue, no thread, no burning chemicals....and being able to maintain healthy hair for pennies! See you guys soon!
Your hair is looking fab, Soror. How long did you transition before you chopped? Isn't it amazing how you can use the cheapest things and still get expensive looking results?

Your hair looks great. How did you get the color to take? I've never had much luck with trying to color natural hair!

It looks like you have similar texture hair as my daughter, I could do this with her hair but I couldn't do it with mine at all, it's not naturally soft and curly like this.
