Cover-up that Head

When my hair is a HOT mess or when I have just co-washed and twisted my hair and it's still wet....this is the look I rock. I've got 2 other tam hats like the one I'm wearing. My only concern is what will I do in the summer...these are winter hats?????

Free Fro'in!!!

I LOVE this picture...hair out and Free Fro'in...I like to wear my hair OUT!!!!!!! I wore a protective style of cornrows once this winter for about 4 weeks and most recently I wore two strand twist for 2 weeks, but damn it I like my fro to be FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Some would say that wearing your hair "out" all the time is not good, especially during the winter months. I think I have had great growth in the 10 months that I've been natural but would I have even more growth if I wore my hair in protective styles more often???that's the question.

As summer approaches in the Twin cities I can't wait to flaunt my kinks in the glistening sun. I think i will pay particular attention to my hairs growth this summer. When I was relaxed my hair grew more in summer months than it did in the winter and I think the same will hold true now that I'm natural.

I plan to keep a close eye on my hairs growth from April to September...who knows I may have to reevaluate the benefits of protective styling this coming winter, but for now I am looking forward to summer and the growth that I hope the heat and humidity bring my hair.

Oh yeah...I plan on doing some kind color in the next few months (April or May) in the form of a rinse. I don't want to deal with the drying effects that come along with permanent color...at least now. I do love me some summer hi-lights so I may have to revisit the issue of permanent hair color next summer.

SMILES

I just LOVE it when people tell me how much they like my hair....it makes me SMILE!! I love it even more when someone I haven't seen since I went natural sees me and proceeds to tell me how much my hair has grown. I reply yes it has and then inquire how they know since I haven't seen them in such a long time. The response is that they have been "following me" checking out my nappy situation on this blog. SMILES SMILES SMILES!

Happy B-Day Betsy!!

Spring Approaches...Summer Hair

My hair has been in two-strand twist all week. I have decided that for the remainder of winter I will keep my hair is twist and only take them out on weekends if need be. For example, next week Friday and Saturday I will be going out with friends, so my plans is to take my twist out on either Thursday night or Friday morning and rock a twist out until Sunday when I will likely co-wash followed with a steam deep conditioning treatment and twist my hair back up. If I ain't going no place special (and work ain't special) my hair will be in two-strand twist for the next few months. Maybe I will even give flat twist a try. It wont be pretty but my hair will thank me when the warm weather breaks and the sun comes out and my Fro is basking in its luxurious rays...lol
