trimmed split ends
2 days ago i trimmed my hair! yep, did it myself. washed my hair then flat ironed it for my trim. i was shocked by how long my hair was, touched my shoulders! i probably trimmed to much, the plan was to just trim the split ends, but ended up cutting off almost an inch. i got scissor happy, but my hair definitely needed the split ends cut off. i was upset at first by how much i cut off, but realized it will just help it grow. i will post pics 2morow!

make hair grow faster, Dr. Oz
Dr. Oz says to stimulate hair growth massage your scalp at least once a day for 3 minutes. that's not long, do it while you watch tv, do it while you're in traffic, do it when you're thinking of something to do... just do it! i'm doing it, easy to make your hair grow faster! :)
quick re-fix
my go to style is obviously the twist out. If i know i have something special planned the next day/evening and i've been rockin the same twist out for about a week or so and don't want to re-twist my whole head, instead i will re-twist the front and/or any section that could use some touching up. it really saves time! and if your hair is feeling or looking dry, apply a small amount of your favorite moisturizer to your hands and rub/distribute throughout your hair. just a quick fix :)

working out
my mom told me yesterday i should talk about working out with natural hair. she has sista-locs and i'm let it be free girl, therefor we are both natural and we had a convo about this.
i honestly feel that working out is so much easier with natural hair! while going to high school and college i played basketball all throughout school. meaning, i was working out everyday and still do... well 5 days a week now, not everyday. in college we would run early in the mornings, then have practice later on that evening. during that time i had a relaxer, so i would have to straighten my hair again after workouts or just keep it tied back so i wouldn't have to deal with it. constantly straightening your hair causes so much DAMAGE! it's not good, or healthy.
when i workout i am dripping wet! i usually run for about 2 to 3 miles then do weights or the stepper. lol, the weights don't show, so lets not comment about that! ha! ...after my workout i honestly don't have to do anything to my hair, sometimes a quick fluff, maybe. my hair isn't to long at this point, so maybe as it gets longer that will change. i hope not. i remember days when i had a relaxer and thinking, "ok, im not working out today so my style will last for tonight" lol
so to all those wondering about working out with natural hair, from my experience it's a whole lot easier for me! i would say if it wasn't. let me know your experiences with working out... im curious!

r u wearing a wig
so read this- hadn't seen my aunt in probably 3 years or so! while were sitting at the table chatting she's sitting next to me. i keep seeing her out of the corner of my eye eying me. i turn the opposite way to say something to my dad and she quickly puts her hands in my hair to feel my scalp to see if my hair was real! what the! lol when i turn quickly to look at her, she says she's been eying my hair all day and wanted to know if it was a weave or a wig! "IT'S MY HAIR"
i was rockn a twist out that day, apparently it looked so good, my aunt couldn't believe it! she then went on to question me how i did it and the best part- she said she didn't know NATURAL hair could look that GOOD! lol. yes, baby it can look that GOOD!
