How to Make Your Flat Ironed Hair Last!!!

All natural hair divas know that heat is the devil especially when its used excessively. But every now and then I miss my straight hair and would like to rock it with my Beyonce curls in it. In order to do this I still stick to my natural hair regimen only tweaking bits and pieces of it during the drying process. I still wash and condition and add my jojoba oil however I separate my hair into four sections and braid it up and let it air dry in the braid. I still try to refrain fromn using the blow drier unless I'm in a hurry. And if I absolutely have to use a blower drier its on cool setting.

Getting my hair flat is not a problem. Keeping the Kim Kardashian curls however is. I do not like flat hair unless I am aiming for it. So to keep from curling my hair daily I use flexi rods they come in different sizes and colors. The smaller the rod the tighter the curl. The bigger the rod the looser the curl. The catch is you have to have at least an hour for the curls to actually set. I don't use moose, I'm pretty sure it will aide in helping the curls stay as well.
I use the purple and blue rods and I let it sit over night for maximum impact. I also split my hair down the middle and roll my hair backwards so the curls fall away from my face. And no I am not naked in these pics I am wearing a half top and yes my youngest decided to photo bomb my pics ( he's a kid it happens).

Much Love,

Hair Growth

As you all already know I had a very lovely incident at the hair salon where the lady said she knew how to cut natural but clearly she didnt smh. Anyhoo she cut off almost all of my new growth and I have been growing back since December. Here are the progress pics from December till now.

#Curlconfession

So Paul Mitchell decided to dedicate a whole line to curly girls and has invited us curly girls to a #curlconfession. Basically if your on Twitter (I am @BriRose26) or on instagram (BriRose26) hashtag #curlconfessions so that you can have the possibility of winning some free samples. Or you can go to www.truthaboutcurls.com and follow the directions there as well. I've already done hashtag #curlconfession on Twitter and I am about to do the same on instagram and go to their website as well. I did not see a deadline, but that could be due to lack of reading everything, so the sooner the better essentially!!!

Much Love,
Bri

Kinky Curly Coily Me Check In

Week 1 is underway and here is the questions that Kinky Curly Coily Me asked for the challenge along with my responses.
www.kinkycurlycoilyme.com

1. How long have you been natural? Did you big chop or transition?
    - I have been natural since birth I have never had a perm. However I use to be the queen of a flat iron and I had to stop due to heat damage and thin hair (not cute).

2. Is this your first time participating in the castor oil challenge?
    - Yes it is, I have never even used castor oil in my hair before so this should be interesting.

3. What is motivating you to participate in this challenge?
    - I want to reap the benefits of healthy full set of hair, and if using castor oil will help me achieve this then I will definitely be using it.

P.S. The last day to enter in this challenge is September 7, 2012.

Much Love,
Bri

Wash day!!!

Finally had the opportunity to wash my hair (thank Jesus) kind of didn't have a choice since my hair did not want to hold any style. Anyhoo I washed my hair with Giovanni shampoo and conditioner put it in a bun and went about my business for the day. I put it in a bun so that my curls would be stretched somewhat and also due to the fact that air drying my hair takes forever (literally). While wet I used Shea moisture curl and style milk so that my hair could have some added moisture to it. And I finger comb that way I won't mess up my natural curl pattern completely. Pretty simple process, but a long air drying process.
