Natural hair: Alright as of now, I am still chemical free, but I am in braids and sew ins constantly. I would love to get to the point of wearing my hair out, but I have not grown it out to the length that I am comfortable with yet. At some point, I will do a "big reveal" and share some pictures of my hair, and the progress I have made. I am happy with my hair, but it grows faster in the back then it does in the back so I currently look like this:
Will I stay natural?? This is a question that I fight with all the time but, I have decided to not put anymore chemicals on my hair but I do not knock anyone who does. I may do some dyes next summer depending on the health of my hair, but no relaxers for me.
My box braid regimen: I am currently in box braids, and I am kicking it old school with my hair products. For a daily moisturizer, I use Care Free Curl Gold, and for my scalp, I have started using Sulfur 8. I know that in the hair community, petroleum is the devil because it blocks your pores, but my hair has reacted to grease in a positive way. I think the key is to cleanse your hair regularly to prevent build up. I wash my hair once a week and follow that with a condition. Notice I didn't say deep condition. I find it hard to deep condition in braids so I simply don't. If anyone has any suggestions on how I can without my braids slipping out, let me know.
Since your hair is in braids all the time, what are going to write about? I'm glad you asked! I plan on writing about random hair topics and tips. I will also still blog about my hair even though it's in braids. Maybe I will share some box braid styles and go further into how I maintain the braids.
Look out for more new posts! Thanks for reading!
