pH balance and start of growth mission

So I was going to do a video for this and that will have to wait until next week I'm hungry right now lol. Anyway, I have discovered the marvels of pH balance. If you would like to know more about this checkout the link below it is an amazing channel on youtube by kimmaytube  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yT9axA0A6_Q. So I recently blow dried my hair to try and straighten it. Problem is that I did so with product on my hair one of which was glycerin, very bad idea, obviously some of my curl pattern was ruined. So I have basically been just trying to grow out the damage, but after seeing kimmay's vid on pH balance I tried this neutralizer that I had from back in my relaxer days. I still have because I use it to get rid of chlorine build up from swimming, anyway it seems to really help close my cuticle and rejuvenate my curl. The hair is obviously not at its healthiest but it feels and looks much better. So beware of the pH of your products. Also, next week I will show a video of the damage the blow drying caused and my ideas on growth.

What the hell is this? When did they start making square watermelon. This really freaked me out.

Bantu Knots

So I tried to do Bantu Knots tonight and it totally, did not work. My hair is just shy of being the perfect length for it. Right now I have about four inches of growth all around on my head. I tried to bobby pin them, but I don't think I had the right kind. After awhile I just gave up. If anyone has suggestions please let me know. Will be posting a video tomorrow. As I am posting this my best friend is sitting in the room with me and she says to me after watching an infomercial on face depilatory cream "I have a confession to make. I shaved over spring break" Me not paying attention says ok you shaved what? She points to her face.LMBO

My first blog

So this blog is going to be about my hair journey primarily, I will be interjecting some anecdotal comments on life. There will be some video tutorials and milestone pics. I have a little knowledge about making great makeup so I might have a few posts on that. Hopefully I will be able to share a successful journey on my life in this one year mark on my natural. I did a big chop, which just means that I cut all of the hair off of my head. I rocked an almost fade, but it was sexy. I'm new at this whole blogging so there are going to be some technical difficulties at first and I probably won't have enough time or patience to post regularly, but it's worth a try. So as of today I have been natural for exactly 8 months.I have 4a hair and I never realized how raw being natural is. Like I said I'm still learning so bear with me. I'm going to be on a growth mission over the summer because I find I just take the best care of my hair then.I'm in college so getting quality products and keeping stress levels down are hard for me. Also, sometimes I just don't feel like doing my hair so I will be researching protective styles that I can wear around, and I will be sharing all of this information.  In essence this blog will be my anonymous friend that I can share all of the mundane details about me with, that all of my real friends are tired of hearing lol.  So enjoy the pics, videos, and random words.
