Hair Discoveries (Pt. 1)

Just a few ramblings about what I've discovered about my hair since going natural.
Month 5 Post BC

• My hair has looser curls in the back and sides, and is really thick at the crown
• There’s this one section in the front left of my head that I have to give special attention too, because it WILL get dry
• Keeping my hands OUT of my hair will definitely keep my hair ON my head!
• Protective styling=LESS SHEDDING!
That's just to name a few. I will be doing more posts updating my hair discoveries as I continue my adventures with my hair!

My First Braid n Curl (BNC)

I did my first ever braid out since doing the BC! I used my shea mix on my hair and sealed my ends with coconut oil. At the end of the braid, I twirled my hair around my finger to get a coil at the end. The next day I took it down, threw on a headband, and pulled some hair out in the front to create a bang effect. I loved this style!

Best I Ever Had

This is the best protective style I've ever done! Result of a day old braid out. I detangled and trimmed my hair the other day that stretched my hair. I decided to style my hair since it should've been a breeze after being stretched and detangled already..and it was!
Today, I re-twisted the two large flat twists in back of my head after splitting them in half and now there is four. I braided the hair out in the middle of the front of my head and did three flat twists on either side.
I used my flaxseed gel after moisturizing with water/EVOO/RO mix and my shea mix.
My 5 month mark was March 25th! Since this was such a success, and quick to do, it will be my go to protective style. I will be experimenting with more protective styles to help protect my hair from the elements.

HOTD 3-24-11

Today, I wanted something simple because I have an extremely busy day ahead of me. I simple did a part down the middle and did two flat twists to the side (gently of course to be good to my edges)I pinned the hair down in the middle with bobby pins to avoid the cowlick look, and pinned them up with my black lace hair bows with diamond accented flower in the middle. I cowashed this morning with my V05 and put my shea mix into my hair and some flax gel to hold back my edges so the style lasts all day.

Mini flat twist out results from flaxseed gel & shea souffle

So here is how my hair came out. I love how it looks. Definitely my favorite flat twist out since I could flat twist again, I did them fairly small this time. My hair is not frizzy or dry and it feels great. Working on the posts of the process, but I'm mobile posting right now and I haven't mastered mass photo posts. I'm on my way to a baby shower here so I'm dressed comfy. =}
