Hair Update

ok, the transitioning process is going............I am in my 10th month and I still trying to find something that works. I think I have found it in flat twist and a bun. I tried cornrows with extensions and hated it. They were too tight, I lost a few edges and I had a lot of breakage from the tangling. So here I am now trying flat twist with a bun....wheww, it sure helps with dealing with my hair. I think I am going to keep low maintenance, protective styles these days. This helps with my patience!!! Take a look at the pics of the flat twist with a bun.

Update on hair and me!!!!

I just love this nail color... I have enjoyed being obsessed with nail colors and painting my nails frequently. My hair has been in cornrows for the past few weeks. I have gotten spoiled with not having to deal with my hair. I think I will keep them until my natural hair grows out longer.

Hair Update

I am currently in my eight month of transitioning, it will be nine months in a few days. My hair stylist has been out for a family emergency so I have twisted my hair twice for a twist out. Both times it did not last for more than 3 days. Clearly I am doing something wrong so I decided to rock the pony tail until she returns. I will go tomorrow so she can hook me up. I loved wearing the pony tail though, they are so convenient and don't take up much time at all. I wish I could wear them everyday but I know that is a lot of stress on my edges as well as the pressure from the scrunchie can be damaging. I think I will start wearing one more often though because this hair is growing pretty fast now. I think about chopping all the time but I can't....I can't deal with the short hair. That is the only thing that keeps me from chopping because I know that would be easier to deal with and my hair would be easier to manage and style. I guess I will keep pushing until June 2012. The countdown to natural will continue!!!

Weigh in Wednesday!!!

This Morning I weighed myself and I was at 158.7.  I was not mad because this past weekend when my girls and I went to Orange Beach and ate everything I wanted to eat. I had so many drinks that I wasn't supposed to have, so this makes me happy that I didn't put on at least five extra pounds. I was so out of control and enjoyed eating out all day for three days with my girls. we had breakfast, lunch and dinner everyday where were there, with snacks in between. I had a wonderful time and hope we can go back soon....maybe this summer when it is warm. I truly enjoyed myself, thanks Terasha for the invite!!!

Hair update

Nothing new has really been going on with my hair. It is growing and I haven't tried any new styles lately. I am still rocking the twist and curl and I getting quite bored with it. I flat ironed it last week to get a trim. I enjoyed having it straight because there wasn't much to do with it. I am thinking about getting some cornrows for a while. I am not sure what I want to do, I just know I am getting really bored with my hair. I think about BCing because I know this will be easier but I don't want short hair. I will continue to try to grow it out and focus on it less. I am still taking my vitamins and using the coconut oil daily to moisturize. I am not having much breakage but my relaxed hair is so fine that the twist out is starting to look a little rough to me. I guess the only thing to do is be patient and continue to grow my hair the best way I can. Here is a pic that prevents me from doing the BC. Even though I love my hair texture, I can't deal with the short hair.

Weigh in Wednesday!!!

Today I weighed myself and I am 159.2, I did eat some things last week that I shouldn't have eaten. I was stressed and had a lot going on. I will try to do better and since it is warming up, I plan to go walking and running. I need to do better....I have to lose at least 15 pounds by June 1, I hope I reach my goal so stay tuned!!!!
