Year Three B.C.



I'm still curly! For the majority of my three years I have been using the Tightly Curly Method exclusively. But recently I started watching a lot of videos by Mahogany Curls. I love how her hair looks! So these days I'm doing a blend TC and MC. Jess uses Paul Mitchell "The Conditioner" as her leave in and then tops that with Eco Styler Gel. While I love the Paul Mitchell, I have yet to get the hang of how to get the gel to work with my hair. So I have been using Aussie Moist on top of the PM. So far so good.

During the winter months because it's not as humid I can straighten my hair and wear it that way for a couple weeks at a time.

To this day I have not regretted the day I decided to quit the chemicals. I simply love the versatility and the uniqueness of my hair!

Two Years B.C.



It's been two years since I chopped off all of the relaxer. Because my hair is super tightly curly the pics don't really show how much length I've gained over the past year. But trust me there was a lot!

Although I still wear my hair curly most of the times there are days when I want a change.


Today was one of those days:



I washed, deep conditioned, moisturized, and detangled my hair. Then instead of doing my usual TightlyCurly Method I decided to blow dry and flat iron my hair. After which I put in 12 two strand twists and rodded the ends. The next day (today) I took it down and this is what I got. I am really pleased with the results!
