Going natural makes the news; Is a trend or much more than that?

At first I was a little thrown off by everything. I thought that something as complex as African American hair could not possibly be understood by others, such as white people. I recall awhile back when I posted about my white boss nit understanding what was going on with my new hair texture. I thought that the news headline would bring a negative connotation to negative hair but the more I watched it the more I loved it.

What do you think about it?

Natural hair Superstar!

Much love from Tennessee to Colorado.

I Love My Hair Song: Sesame Street

I absolutely adore this!

Loc appreciation.

My natural hair game plan.

Time Line so far:

• Last relaxer: October 2009.
• Big Chop: May 29th 2010.
• First all over color: June 23rd 2010.
• Top color: September 2010.

Future plans:

• Continue to grow hair. Only trims when needed.
• When I turn 25 I'm getting locs.
• At 40, I'm cutting everything off and rockin' the short curlies until forever after. Lol.

12 months post relaxer.

October marks my one year anniversary of no relaxer. I'm not sure what specific day but I know for sure this month makes a year. I wish I had pics f my progress but I don't as of now. I'm going to wait until the end of the month to be on the safe side. Just thought I'd let you all know. :)

Random pic. Lol. :)

Thinking about this cut.

Yes or no?
I probably won't get it but I realllyyy want to.
I'm so bored with my hair, I'm losing my mind.
Patiently waiting for it to grow so I can do more things.

Flat ironed hair: FAIL.

My friend blow dried and flat ironed my hair but since it has been raining a lot lately, it poofed up really quickly. I do have pics of the new color (sorta) and my "blow out".

About 11 months post relaxer.

Update: Shiny hair and hair growth challenge.

Thanks to everyone for the tips on how to get shiny hair!

I haven't had a chance to actually do them because I'm busy in school now

but I will and let you all know how it goes for me.

Also, the "Grow an inch or more of hair a month" challenge has been hard for me being in school as well.

I started off great, taking the Biotin pills everyday (or twice a day if I forgot) and oiling my scalp with castor oil.

But over the past few weeks, I haven't been doing neither. :(

If you've been doing the challenge dedicatedly please please please let me know if you've seen results. 

Time for change.

Tomorrow I plan to color my hair again and straighten it for the first time.

I'm going to dye it a lighter brown than the one I did back in June and I believe I'm going to do two tone.

In case you're wondering, it's been 11 months since my last relaxer and about 3 months since my BC.

When I straighten it I'll do a length check with a picture of my relaxed hair since it's obviously straight.

If you know of any great hair protectants please let me know.

I'm so terrified of heat damage.

I think I'll cry and go crazy if my lovely curls don't come back. lol.
