Christmas 2011

It was a bitter sweet Christmas without my daddy for the first time. I went to the church where his funeral was held on Christmas for the first time and God knew I was going to break down if we had to go around and shake hands during fellowship because I always walked around and hugged my daddy. I couldn't hardly concentrate the whole service thinking about how I would handle that part. Instead, they did something different and I was glad. After church, we all gathered at the house at 1:00 for Christmas dinner. We all held hands to pray and momma decided she wanted to say a few words. The words she spoke in memory of dad made us all cry, we had to get ourselves together and then we ate, danced and sung. Our rendition of the Twelve Days of Christmas was hilarious. I loved my hairstyle on Christmas...I think I will revisit it again real soon. I am getting it flat ironed this week though. I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!!! Enjoy the pics of my hair on Christmas below.

How's My Hair Doing???

Hey everyone!!!! I am still getting to know my hair. I transitioned for 14 months and I have been completely natural for 4 months. I have been wearing my hair in twist and twist outs lately. I am beginning to get comfortable and I am noticing some growth. I am looking forward to this journey getting better and my hair getting longer. Here is a pic from last week's twist out. I had a Mary Kay consultant make my face up so excuse the make-up. My current regimen is to wash and condition my hair weekly. I seal the ends with some moisturizer and oil. I apply oil to my hair daily, either coconut oil or serum. Everything has been going good and I am enjoying my growth process thus far.
