and modified 1 year 7 months ago Hi Ladies,
Sorry these updates have taken so long. I recently found out that I am expecting, so the pics got a tad delayed. Moreover, once I found out about my little Poohbear-Bumblepie, I felt a range of emotions...one being that I needed to free myself of a few things...one being the lace wig. I still love me some lace wigs, but I needed a change and the wig had to go...at least temporarily.

So I started rockin my natural tresses. I am so mad that I didnt take pics of all the styles that I created. The only con about wearing my natural hair was that I found myself wanting to change styles daily which led to more manipulation than I like. I also got a lot of knots and tangles. Oh well.

I also went to the hair shop and got my hair done for the first time in I dont know how long. I wanted a press, but I'm paranoid about letting other folks do my hair, especially since it's natural and most folks have no patience in dealing with all these naps. I would have to kill somebody for ripping through my hair with a comb of brush or whatever. So, fortunately, I found a stylist who would allow me to come to her shop with my hair already prepped (shampooed, conditioned, and blowdried) so that all she had to do was press it. I am pleased with the results. We'll see how long it lasts.

Take care and God bless!!!! ]]> http://public.fotki.com/Poetist/marchapril-2008/ Sat, 12 Apr 2008 04:57:12 GMT http://public.fotki.com/Poetist/the-pj-files-/hair-products/ "Hair Products" Album

and modified 2 years 2 months ago OK, so I made a new hair growth concoction last week. I apply nightly and moisturize 2x a day (as always) with distilled water and glycerin. When I clarified and DC today, I decided to take one braid down for a length check because my the braid was super loose. Now I didnt use a ruler, but I swear I got AT LEAST .25 inches of growth in one week. I will keep using this concoction and take weekly pics to determine if its as effective as I think it is. ]]> http://public.fotki.com/Poetist/september-2007/ Mon, 17 Sep 2007 05:15:31 GMT http://public.fotki.com/Poetist/july-2007/ "July 2007" Album

and modified 2 years 2 months ago A few days before my wedding, I took my cornrows down and gave my hair a nice claryfiying, aphogee and DC treatment. I then decided (out of sheer curiosity) to blowdry and maxiglide my hair. My fiancee had never seen my hair so I thought it would be a nice suprise. The back of my hair is much longer than the top, so it looked strange. Also, my hair is EXTREMELY soft and fine. After straightening my hair, I realized that I would need to go to a professional in order to get the look I was going for. I also realized that I have a severe case of hair anorexia and need about another year before I am ready to wear my hair out. Why does it only look APL? Hmmm. Maybe I'm not BSL afterall. Sighs... ]]> http://public.fotki.com/Poetist/july-2007/ Mon, 17 Sep 2007 05:07:15 GMT http://public.fotki.com/Poetist/april-2008/ "April 2007" Album

and modified 2 years 6 months ago I am really pleased with the progress so far. Now that my hair has grown a lot, I tend to prefer braiding in cornrows because they are easier to take out. Things have been a bit hectic and I've taken fewer pics because I am getting married in 2 months, so I've slacked on my vitamin regimen. But I am still cowashing at least once a week and deep conditioning weekly. I spritz my hair with distilled water and glycerin twice a day and apply my oil concoction to the scalp and seal the end with castor oil. I baggy at night and throw on my lace wig during the day. I have not used heat on my hair since Jan 2006. ]]> http://public.fotki.com/Poetist/april-2008/ Fri, 11 May 2007 04:53:09 GMT http://public.fotki.com/Poetist/1-year-comparison/ "1 Year Comparison" Album
