Natural Hair

When I big chopped four and a half months ago, I felt as if I was so ready for this journey. I was reading all the right blogs and talking the lingo with the best of them. I dived head first into the deep end of natural hair care, doing my first henna only three weeks…

It’s fun to document my hair story month to month and see the changes, the growth, the colours and different weird things I keep throwing in it and so here I am with another update since my last one a month ago. Since I’ve become quite the DIY mixtress, you know my regimen has since changed!…

After my first henna application, I still wanted more colour so I decided to try another box colour over my henna. That was a miserable fail and I ended up with a copper colour I was not feeling. So after that dilemma of having orange hair, I decided to slap some henna on my head…

I love hair colour. I’ve been addicted to colouring my hair ever since I left high school and started relaxing my hair. It’s mostly been some shade of blonde, I’ve never really liked red, wasn’t bright enough and trying to get it bright started to look clownish to me. See what I mean? I decided…

Matching blues 😀 It’s been two months since I decided to finally go natural and chop off my hair and it feels like it’s been forever! I’ve learnt a lot, tried a lot and I’m excited about the future of my hair! LOL! I’ve definitely seen the inch or maybe even more of growth that…

I went ballistic and chopped off all my hair. Not exactly the big chop hair story of my dreams, but it worked out ok. It was the morning after Valentine’s day. I was trying to figure out what to do with my hair. My frustrations were raging as I knew anything I did with it…

But I see your true colours Shining through I see your true colours That’s why I love you So don’t be afraid to let them show Your true colours True colours are beautiful, Like a rainbow I’ve been down and out all week long with one of the worst bugs I’ve ever picked up. It…

So it’s been a few months now since I’ve been transitioning to natural hair. I’ve only got maybe two inches of new growth on my head and I’ve already become frustrated with styling my different textures and wanting to take the big chop plunge. My plan is to wait a few more months when hopefully…

Curly styles are a great option when transitioning from relaxed to natural hair. Maintaining them can be a little tricky but we’ll get to that. Last week I went to get a perm rod set on my transitioning hair for my birthday. My hairdresser put in the teeny tiny spirals and it came out way…

So after my last small set at the hairdresser lasted me all of 1.35 days, I decided to skip the salon this week and try some of my new-found hair skills on myself. Update: I have since this post, mastered the braid out!  I know how to blow out my hair and flat iron it but keeping moisture…
