wash n go gel

this is a two day old wash and go with gel.  oh my shrinkage!  i like the curl definition, hate the shrinkage, dislike the hardening of my hair, just not a fan.  i'm getting ready to go wash my hair AGAIN because i'm not feeling it at all.  with me, my hair can greatly effect my mood... so, i will be re-washing and twisting it so that i can rock a twist out later on today and for the next couple of days. 

hot tub hair

super bowl Sunday i got into the hot tub.  boy ol boy was my hair jacked up after that!  it splashed the back of my hair a little and you obviously cant control the way others move around and about in a hot tub, which resulted in a mess on top of my head.  before going natural i mostly wore my hair in braids which made it easy for swimming, running, and hot tubs.  i've mastered the after gym hair, but the hot tub hair is something i obviously need to work on!

listen to your hair

i realized i've been washing my hair more often now.  it really is true, you must listen to your hair!  lately i had been washing once a week, but now it seems as if my hair needs the water every couple of days.  instead of using shampoo every time, i've been washing with conditioner.  the conditioner makes my hair so soft, i love it and so does my hair.  it's very important to listen to your hair.

twist OUT pic

first off,this pic if from a twist out a couple days ago. i wore that style about 3 days. after my 5:30am work this morning i just wasn't feelin it anymore. so instead of completely re-washing my hair i sprayed with water and re-twisted. for some odd reason i'm thinking it's gonna come out looking really good, so i will post a pic later when i take out the twists.

side note... i've been hanging out with one of my friends who has dreads and the looks we get are crazy. it's hard to tell if people are just curious about our hair, admiring, hating, either way it's funny to me.

a couple days ago i posted about maybe wearing braids as a protective style, but i've definitely decided not to. if i did that, then what the ef would i blog about... my braids... naw, i'm good! haha.

ppls lil comments

something thats kind of annoying for me... when close friends know that i'm growing my hair natural, but occasionally make comments saying

"so, when are you gonna straighten your hair"

"how long is this fro faze gonna last"

"are you gonna comb your hair"

"i was looking at your older pics with different styles, maybe you should try one of those"

"is that a weave"

"is that a wig"

"can i touch it"

---i hadn't seen my older brother in about 3 years who is married to a caucasian female. after we talked for a few minutes he looks at my hair and says so what are you gonna do with your hair? what the! on this particular day i was rockn an AMAZING twist out!

those are just a few things that tend to get on my nerves. but, i'm sticking to it because i love my natural hair. my hair has so much shrinkage i'm waiting for the day when my twist out is HUGE!
