28 weeks Transition 6 months!! ^_^

So I made it to the six month mark (Nov. 24) of my natural hair journey and I am pleasantly surprised at how my hair is growing looking back at my 16 weeks transition post to now!! I took my Senegalese twist out December 9 was going to wait till December 16 but I got anxious and took them out a little early below are pics of my hair washed and conditioned.



I cut a piece of my hair all the way down to my new growth and it measured at 3' inches so it is growing right on schedule! lol!!

I guess my hair texture is a 4 something but it is alot softer than it looks I can comb through it. It just does not really have a deep curl pattern

It has grown so much in the past two months cant wait to see it straight

It is almost completly natural in the back

 Boy is my hair thick when I first saw it I was somewhat overwhelmed

 I love my natural hair :-)

Hair Inspiration!!

Going through this transition period of my natural hair journey I can use all the inspiration there is to keep me on track and confirm that if I take care of my hair that it can grow and be as beautiful as these ladies that I call my Hair Inspirations

Her Style is Undeniable

 Beyond Fabulous

Her Fro is almost as Fierce as her voice

Beautiful

She is mad Dope

I want her Hair and that Body!

She Rocks

I think she is beyond Gorgeous

I love all their textures and types of hair still trying to figure out my texture I know once I do I will have even more Hair Inspirations!!

Been A While!!!

It has been a while since my last post been crazy busy with school plus my hair has been in seneglese twist and still is.

I started taking out the top part because my hair has grown out so much and its starting to look old but that is a good thing.

My plan is to have the twist completly out of my hair by December 16th which would make it 11 weeks and then I plan to get my sew-in December 28th.

I plan to trim my ends and "Deep Deep" condition my hair and wear it in protective styles that week in between styles. I might apply heat once for my birthday which is December 19th!!!!!

Since my last  post I reached my 6 month transition (November 24) milestone and I measured my new growth and it was 3 inches so my hair is growing on target!!

The products that I have been using with my twist are:
-Doo grow the liquid kind
-Olive oil sheen spray
-Olive oil pomade (for the edges) 
-Biotin Vitamins
-Prenatal Vitamins -Only for hair growth purposes
-Only washed hair twice

RX For Brown Skin!!

This Post is not related to my natural hair journey! Since my hair is in Senegalese twist thought it would be a good idea to post my clear skin journey as well lol!!
So I ordered the RX for brown skin about two weeks ago. I have acne prone skin and whenever I get a pimple it leaves a mark which is so annoying and unattractive

I have tried other spot treatments with no improvement or very little improvement.
So I was very skeptical of RX because I usually do not trust stuff like that but ordered it anyway.
When I ordered it two weeks ago they emailed me and said it was on back order. So I got the email today that said my order was in and I should receive it in about 7-10 days.
I will post my progress and see if it actually works as well as my skin care regimen once I get my order of the RX for Brown Skin!!

11 Month *NO TOUCH* Challenge!!! o_O

So I decided to go on a 11 month No Touch challenge!! I know that's a long time but whenever my hair is out I feel like I am always messing in it and watching it grow is aggravating so I just want to put it away.

Plan of Action:

October-December Senegalese Twist

January-March Sew-In

March- May Senegalese Twist

May- August Sew-In

I will trim my ends and do deep conditions in between hair styles to keep hair healthy and growing.

I also have to decide if I want to do the Big Chop once the 11 months are up. Originally my plan was to Big Chop January 1, 2013 but my plan might change because I want to get to know my natural hair and learn how to style it and really take care of it before it grows to much and I am over whelmed. So I have a lot to think about but at least I have 11 months to decided.

Wish me luck on this 11 month challenge. I will keep you posted with pics and post on how my hair is growing and how I am managing it. :-)

Senegalese Twist! ^_^

As I mentioned in my last post I decided to put my hair up in Senegalese twist I was seeing a lot of breakage because I was putting to much heat in my hair. I am also starting to work out again so I needed a style that I don't have to worry about doing my hair. I like the Senegalese twist the lady did them really small and extremely tight so I am being mindful of my edges so I try not to pull them to much.

FYI- I got the Senegalese Twist done 9/30/2011

I plan to have these twist in for the next 2 1/2 to 3 months! so I cant wait to see my natural growth once I take them out!!!

16 weeks Transition 4 MONTHS!!

This is my natural hair growth post 16 weeks relaxer! I can see some growth from my last post but I was thinking after 16 weeks it would be a bit more. Lately I have been putting to much heat in my hair and have been seeing some breakage so I decided to put it up in Senegalese twist (Next Post).

FYI- These Pics were taken 9/17/2011
