My Hair Update

It has been eight months since the "big chop" and my hair has truly grown. I am very happy with the results I have gotten from my natural. I had no idea how curly my hair would be when I first began. I am still shocked when I look in the mirror and when I wash my hair. I am very happy with the choice I have made. 


In August, it will be two years since my last relaxer, however; it have been natural for eight months. You are probably wondering how is that so and if I haven't had a relaxer in two years that should mean I have been natural for two years. Actually, I decided to let my hair grow out for a year and after that year, i was finally ready to cut the relaxed hair. Unfortunately, I haven't taken many pictures of my hair and the length of it now but for my next entry, I will definitely post some pictures of my hair now. 

Natural Hair will be Televised!!!

Maybe it's just me, but I have noticed that commercials are starting to used more natural hair women. Of course, I think it's great. I love the fact that the natural hair movement is spreading to television. Even shows and movies are using women with natural hair. What do you guys think of this? 

I noticed on the McDonald's commercial for the happy meal, they used both woman and child with natural hair. 

 Well, I couldn't find the original commercial I was referring to, but this one works just as good. My point is that it seems to me that the message of going natural is spreading not just by word of word and videos on Youtube, but companies are starting to advertise it by using a kind of subliminal messaging through these commercials. What do you guys think? Or am I reading too much into this?

How Can I Style This Hair?

The World's Largest Afro

I was wandering around on Youtube, as usual, and I stumbled onto this video of a woman that has been put in the Guinness Book of World Records for having the largest afro in the world. This woman has inspired me to continue my natural hair journey. 

I just thought this was awesome.

My Hair Journey

It has been 6 months since the "BIG CHOP" and I can tell my hair has grown quite a bit. I have used multiple products since then but the best products I have used are the Shea Moisture hair line. I love the results I have gotten from the Shea Moisture products I bought about a month ago. These products have made my hair extremely soft and more manageable than it has been. it has even helped my hair to grow faster than its original rate. I would recommend these products to any natural hair women. The line has different product lines depending on the type and texture of one's hair. 

This set is for curly hair.

This set is for thin and fine hair.

This set is for dry and damaged hair.

This set is for itchy and flaky scalp. It also treats dandruff, eczema and psoriasis.   

The best thing about this product line is that women can mix and match the products that works best for them. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that I can customize the products for my hair. These products are great for natural hair. They don't strip moisture from the hair like most shampoos do, it constantly adds moisture to the hair no matter what product is being used and you never have to worrying about rather or not your hair is dry. For me, my hair stays moisturized all day and it adds so much body and shine to it. This product line is wonder. I would tell anyone with natural hair to at least try it.
