Hair of The Day: Flexy Braidout

Use flexy rods/ perm rods to change the shape of your braidouts. Moisturise with a styer of your choice (i find custards/milky stylers set the style well) and leave it to dry overnight,

carefully unravel the rods and gently separate the braids, this will really get that 'curly' style if you have 4b/c hair like mine and struggle with that. In mine i ended up with a touch of frizz because i changed my parting from middle to side but i love the stretch and moisture, its added something new to my usual fluffy braidouts. Do give it a try!

One Year Natural BABY!

this fro of mine has flourished in the past 4 months. I decided to stop relaxing my hair July 13th 2013 and did the big chop on April 29th 2014. I know people don't consider themselves natural (referring to my state of hair) until all of the chemically processed hair is removed but i treated my hair as i do fully natural from the day i stopped relaxing, plus its easier to get a timeline of my hair growth. Here's to many more years with afro hair; i'm enjoying my curls and exploring hairstyles and loving the fact that i can fully love a natural me.

 And here's a picture just after a co-wash. As though my hair hasn't grown at all! Shrinkage is a crazy thing. Hope you've enjoyed my post x
