These were taken from September, but i was too busy to even get around posting them . I wanted to flat iron but it was too much for me so it was just blown out . I will need a professional to do it for me I December or so .

These were taken this month ( webcam)  , sometimes last week . I am almost at the 3 years mark , ill attempt to flat iron my hair sometime next month .  Transition 35 month You can check out my other transition posts   because I will soon be fully natural and the new journey will begins :) . 

Everywhere I go these days my hair gets a lot of positive attention . Last week was just amazing since more than one ladies stop me and ask me what I do to my hair and how can they do it . This particular girl was saying she wants to go natural but she she is afraid to big chop , I told her to transition thats what I did and still doing util September . I was thrill to just sit with her and introduce her to some of my favorite products . It is so nice to be getting all the positive reaction , it shows that we are really growing as a people .

Since I started my transition I have never flat iron my hair . So my hair was ore unruly than I though lol.  This is what I did : I wash my hair Condition I then let it air dry until it was aleast 70% I used olive oil as my heat protectant This ia a real bad quality webcam picture .

Its been a while since I did a personal update well, I am now 2 years and 7 months post relaxer and still going strong. I mention in most of my hair update that I am going for the 3 year mark and I am so close now, hooray!! . What I have found out about my hair is that is getting more and more define as it grew .  I think it could do with the fact that it's hanging more and most my products are natural. Ok, so what I have been using since my last update? Well, I have been only been using conditioner the tresemme  natural, Vo5 conditioner,  ecostyler gel and a mixture of natural oils. I find that I don't really need anything else and my hair is always well moisturized. I am surprised I could only use the little product and my hair is reacting so well to the little products . My current routine I co-wash once a week Used conditioner and then apply oil and that is it I do this once or twice a week depending on my hairstyle

I really wish I could update this with some pics but have no access to my camera with those right now . If its your first time reading my blog , I have been transitioning for 2 years and 2 months now . My natural hair is really taking over  now  and its always in a stretch  state so I can really see the length . I mention in a previous post that I would like to start the curly girl method but I am really busy and have not got around to getting those new products yet . I am still hoping that I will get a chance to seek them out and receive them by this month end and be able to do some review December to early January . I have over 12 inches of natural hair growth and about 7-8 inches of relax hair to go , except for my bangs which only have about 4 inches or less . I still have not flat iron my hair but I definitely will sometime this month . I want to go for 3 years but I may cut my hair in May instead . How is your journey going ?

I am not a fan of bun! especially neat bun, I like my hair bun to look messy or like its tucked under in a messy kind of way . On these two pics below I used a clip to hold it in place , messy but still in place . The pic on the left I did give it more length to give it a pony tail impression and the other one I tuck it much more under to be sure none of my hair was touching my skin making it a more bun effect . Trying to find protective style that I like that match my personality . These two were old braid out .

Today I did another trim of about 2 inches . I am now 20 months post relax (hooray ) , my natural hair is crazy long and thick .  I was originally planning to go for two year transition time but since my relax hair is still pretty long (longer that my natural hair) I may go to three years without chopping just small trims until I am there .

Its been a year ( maybe almost) since my last failed protein treatment , my hair was left feeling hard and tangled . I felt I may have left it on my hair for way too long so I make a few changes to match my hair type . I used my homemade protein mix , this time I let it sit for no longer than 20 minutes , with shower cap without heat . Wash my hairt with the V05 Moisture Milks twice

Coconut Oil - I like using this as a pre-poo treatment because it really penetrating the hair shaft, nourishing your hair fro inside out . Its light on your hair and has moisturizing properties . I do pre-poo treatment once a month are whenever necessary . I do sometimes used this oil as a sealant . Olive Oil - Olive oil can be used as a natural relaxer ( Natural Hair Relaxer : Olive Oil ), I have done this  a few times and it really help my hair cuticle to lay down .
