At Home Silk Press

So I was looking online at natural hair styles and I came across the silk press I really liked the look and figured I could do it myself with the right products so this is my first attempt at what is called the silk press!

First I washed and deep conditioned my hair

Below: Texture Shots taken 12/14/11

 I parted it in 4-5 sections and blow dried and then flat ironed it

 After Flat ironing I rolled it and kept it in over night

 This is what it looked like after I took the rollers out and wrapped it; it had a lot of body and volume

This is 4 days post Silk Press and rollers I did touch up minimally with flat iron

 I sprayed this on the different sections of my hair before I flat ironed it

My First Flat Twist Out

So I did a twist out in my hair and it turned out O.K. I might need a little more practice but I like it all in all!!

Not Bad right lol!!

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 :-)
