2 MONTH ANNI!!!!!!!!!!

Today marks 2 months since I chopped off all of my relaxed and damaged hair! YAY!!! I have been chemical free for 7 months total.........which is really shocking. So in honor of my 2 year anniversary, I wanted to post a recent picture of how THICK my hair is!!!! Check it out!

As you can see, the thickness level is un-real! I LOVE IT!!!
To see my big chop 2 months ago, check out my 1 month anniversary post below. I hope you all have a wonderful Holiday Season! ;-)

TRULY IN LOVE!

So after a couple of days of frustration with my hair (and horrible acne breakout) I am once again back on the right track. I realized the reason why I was having so much frustration (and horrible acne breakout.....yeah it was bad) was because I was not consuming enough H2O!! It's funny because the moment I stopped drinking so much water ( I was trippin) my hair let me have it! It didn't cooperate with me one bit!!! I am a true believer that your hair can't cause a bad hair day, it's YOU!!

Once I decided to give my body some water (lots and lots of it) my hair was back it action. Last night I deep conditioned it with Aussie 3 Minute Miracle (left it on for 2 hours) and rinsed. I then applied Kinky Curly Knot Today Leave-In (yeah I know I was only going to stick with Giovanni, but I bought the product, so I have to finish it) and then applied Kinky Curly Custard and twisted my hair. I let it dry over night and when I took it out this morning (with coconut oil on my hands) it look GREAT!!!! I was actually shocked! I think the combination of more water and using Aussie's (have you smelled this stuff.......awesome), my hair reacted differently to the Kinky Curly product line. I am very pleased!

I must say that I am completely in love with this curly fro on my head. It amazes me everyday that I had the courage to see what my hair really looked like. I knew I might like it, but I didn't know how much I would love it. In my friends words "Your hair will be your pet." She was right........my hair is my pet and I love her so! ;-)

Frustration!

So I have learned to stop buying so many products. I have used several and they have been an epic fail!!!!! My hair did not respond well (the first few days it did) to the Curl Enhancer Smoothie. My hair feels icky and the dryness is unreal! To be fair, it could be because of the cold weather, so I will try it again in the warmer months.

I have lived for twist outs! I think my hair responds better when I twist it while dry. My curls seem to really pop and I can really see the growth. With that being said, I think it's time for me to go to a barber for a shape to my hair. My twist outs would be more fierce with a style. I do the fro-hawk, but I am starting to get really bored with it. I think I may get the sides tapered down a bit and go from there. Who knows.......all I know is that I am stuck in a hair rut..........probably because I play with my hair to much! LOL!!!! I think I will leave it be for the rest of the month, go back to using my basic products and see where I am in my journey.
