Lesi in the city

Ok this is my friends & I doing our Sensation bonding night lol. This is not the whole group but I def love my hair better in this pic. The lady on my right in the white is a transitioning natural & the lady on my left is in love w/ the creamy crack! Gotta love Pantene ® b/c without them, this soft and long lasting twistout wouldn’t have been possible (don’t judge my phrasing).

Deuce!

Average

According to what myspace and facebook say, I'm average. Average height and weight; average looks and average intelligence. But I say I'm not average at least not in my eyes. My parents don't really understand my choice to go natural. My dad says my hair is nappy and my mom can't understand that I have to find different styles to work. My dad also says that with me wanting a big chop, I'm probably a lesbian. *sigh* That's upsetting. I really feel kinda down because I simply am not average. I'm above average. True, I can't find a good style that provides moisture and is cute but really, I can't help it. It's not an excuse either because all my mom wanted to do was braid my hair and never really taught me how to do it. I'm working on it but truthfully, I want my people to research and shut up before they decide to comment on my hair. How can my parents say their proud African Americans when they don't appreciate what God gave us? I'm far from average because I'm beautiful and I appreciate the beauty God gave me.

Update

Ok, so I'm mad late! LOL. So ready 2 BC but Ima wait til Jan to do it. In other news, right now I have a 3.76 (waiting for all my grades 2 come in). Ugh, so ready 2 do this!

Aayyee

Okay so I decided to wash my hair 2nite and it feels good. Ima write down all the steps to my twists so I can remember what 2 do if they come out really nice Today was a hectic day so I'm hoping my ends, which are fragile, will be nice and prada. LOL
Wash w/ Palmer's Olive Oil Shampoo in hot water
Deep condition with Roots of Nature deep conditioner for 30 minutes
Rinse out deep conditioner and condition with Organix Shea Butter conditioner in tepid water
Final rinse in cold water
Section in four sections after misting with Oyin Handmade Juice and Berries leave in
In each section, separate into smaller sections and rub whipped pudding into it
Twist
Seal with Organics Loc and Twist
Wrap

Okay

So I haven't updated in a while. I guess this week will be a protective styling/ I'm just lazy week because I'm going to rock my phony pony this week (pics will be updated!) Also found a new blog today called leaveinthekinks.blogspot.com I love it! Yay! LOL. Got to go to bed.
Sweet dreams,

Review

My Oyin finally came! It smells good but doesn't interact with my Doo-Gro 2 well. Seriously though, I've been breaking out so horribly that's it's not even funny but I guess it's due to stress. I'm so happy to be adjusting to my college life though! Anyways, I need to write down my current regimen so I can figure out what I'm doing right or wrong and control my product junkie!
Nightly regimen:
Twist hair into sections after misting with water
Spritz with J&B
Wrap
Daily regimen:
Unwrap hair
Do something to it
Go
Every other day:
Oil hair
Every 5 days wash hair

Whew!

Been kinda busy! Ordered my Oyin and just waiting for it to come in. Had to trim out my ends myself because I didn't have time or $ for anyone else to do. Lookn good. Pics later!

Okay

So I'm still transitioning and finding different styles that suit me. I kind of like this because it's the most fun I've had with my hair and forever! LOL. Been kind of busy with the college thing to really be up here but yes, I have been taking my vitamins and oiling my hair and doing all the good things my hair needs done to it.
Speaking of doing my college girl thing, I was told the worst thing to do for my hair is to stress. Now, a lot of shade has been thrown my way lately but during this process I realized that even when haters throw shade at you, they wanna be you. I love it!
Love,

Harajoku Barbie goes natural

First week

So this is officially my first week of transitioning! Yay me! My mom and sis are being super supportive so :D. My ends are super dry so I'm going to moisture them. I have to remember to write down my routine so I can see what works and what doesn't. I'm really thinking that by my nineteenth birthday, I'm either going to do a BC or just a mini BC. Idk! Newayz, I'm realizing stress and my hair = a bad combo! So for this week, I think Ima try to be more healthy and drink some water, work out and do the whole "eat all these lovely meals" thing. So before I jet off to actually do my hair, I need to write down this moisturizing thing!
Nightly regiumen
1. Comb hair
2. Moisturize ends
3. Wrap hair
Tonite tho, I think Ima do some two strand twists and see the outcome.
Love and peace (pics 2mrw!)

Twist outs

So I twisted my hair last nite and the waves came out so pretty but maybe I put a little bit 2 much product in it! O well, tonite's a new nite! BTW, if ur tryna get ur beauty sleep, nebody that says "Early in da morning" 15 tymes in a row is not someone to hang around!
Love and peace,

Whoa!

So I'm looking up all these websites to figure out what's helpful and it's like WHOA!!! INFORMATION OVERLOAD!!! So I'm finding blackgirllonghair.blogspot.com and naturalhairrules.blogspot.com are really helpful (although I am just starting!)

Love and peace,

My very first blog!

So for all who care or who read this, I've recently decided to go natural. I'm a college freshman and I decided that this has to happen. I've been looking at all these websites that are trying to help but I'm not that experienced with my hair b/c I've neva had to do it. My mom did it in braids until sixth grade when I got my first relaxer. Hopefully, week by week, I can do this and show you how beautiful I can be!

Love and peace,
Alesia
