April 2010
Surprise!! MORE wash and go's! You'd think I'd have something more exciting for my birthday month (Go Aries!) but clearly I am lazy and uninterested. :)

New Products I love - S-Curl & Stay Soft Fro

Wash & Go Formula: Suave Naturals Almond & Shea Butter followed by Castor Oil and ended with Eco Styler Gel ( I was using clear, now in the trial stage with the Olive Oil)

Do a final rinse in COOOOOLD water. Shake Shake Shake. Plop & Go.

To Maintain I tie a scarf over the front and sleep on a satin pillow case. In the morning a spray with Stay Soft Fro, or S-Curl & my rosewater moisture mix (rosewater, aloe vera juice, glycerine & Silk Amino Acids) Then shake/fluff and out. Takes about 10 minutes.


I was bored this past saturday and decided to straighten my hair. This is my first time doing it myself since I went natural. After conditioning I applied Aphogee Green Tea & Keratin Restructurizer. Then I used Original Sabino Moisture Block as my heat protectant.

I blowdried my hair with my Conair Yellowbird in six sections with a comb attachment, and followed that with the comb chase method & my Sedu 1" flat iron on (gasp) 410 degrees. My hair literally got straight in 1 pass. I was amazed. It was sleeker than my relaxed hair had ever gotten on first pass!

These are my first blow out pics of my natural hair..once it cools down a bit I might have to rock it like that.

Feb 2010
My hair wet & dry during the wash n go styling process.

What have we learned? I noticed that oil and especially wax repel water. Because they have this extreme reaction to each other adding castor oil to my wash n go means super defined coils! I probably won't continue using it once it gets warmer (too heavy) but for the time being I'm very happy with the shine, softness and definition it gives under gel.

Make-Up!
I have tons of pics I've taken of various looks I've done while transitioning and natural. Exploring different looks and different colors helped me feel prettier and more put together so I could avoid the 'bun-blahs'. I have to get them organized before I start uploading so stay tuned!

5 Month Post BC (straight, curly, & product review)
(Dec 29, 2009)
To finish off the Twist Challenge I had my hair flat ironed and trimmed. The stylist followed the cut I gave myself (LOL) and he took off 1-2" around my head to get rid of some of the old ends. This is the first time I've straightened since the BC in July. After that it was back to the curlies! I'm happy to report that I had NO heat damage from the straightening. I used Lok & Blok (i.e the new Sabino Moisture Block).

Curlformers & Mini-Chop...
I started trying new things as I got on in my transition. It's important to try to do things/styles that will keep you satisfied with your hair while transitioning. A lot of would be naturals relax after months of transitioning b/c they don't feel cute or they're bored.
