my fro hawk thoughts

just wanted to give my thoughts on the wash n go i had yesterday with gel. i really didn't care for my wash n go yesterday. i really think the main reason was because of the gel in my hair. gel made my hair so hard, which i already knew was going to happen. i'm used to having a twist out with soft hair that feels good to the touch. maybe it was good that the gel kept my hands out of my hair, but me personally do not have a problem with putting my hands in my hair. i like the way it feels and how it looks with the twist out so much better. i'm sure i will have more wash n goes as my hair continues to grow, but as far as the gel... not a fan, don't like the hardening of my hair. i re-twisted my hair early this morning and will probably take the twists out 2day or 2morow.

fro hawk

today i did a fro hawk! after conditioner washing my hair i sprayed with olive oil, applied leave in shea butter conditioner, then applied gel throughout hair while twisting different pieces of hair with my fingers. its definitely not as stretched out as a twist out. i personally do not like a fro hawk on me, but figured i would give it a try since i didn't feel like twisting my hair. 2morow i'm going back to a twist out.

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!

I COLORED my HAIR!

my hair today

here are some pics of my hair today...

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 :)
