My First Week All Naturaal!

Wow, what a week. I spent my first week as  a fully new natural, and can I say it was SUPER AMAZING!! I rocked a twist out all week, and it was "fierce". What really made it amazing, was the fact that EVERYONE I came in contact with this week actually LOVED (some even envied) my hair. I two strand twisted it, and then took out the twists.

Here are my looks for this week:

There was not ONE negative comment, not that I would care anyway. But the big kicker was how much I fell in love with my new natural tresses. I found myself every morning as I was oiling my hair (with my homemade concoction), telling myself "I Love You Hair".  I really do love my hair, she is so beautiful and she looks so very happy. So, what can I say.....I feel awesome, I feel amazing, I feel sexy, I feel beautiful and I feel so FREE.

Yeah my relaxed hair, overall was pretty healthy and pretty happy...she served me well. But I would have to say that SHE is history. I am relaxer free and I'm embracing my God Given tresses. I won't go back, I can't go back - to the way it used to be. We are moving forward and I'm looking forward to the journey ahead.

So now about that concoction I made. Oh yeah, I started using Rose Water/Glycerine on my hair and my hair LOVES LOVES THIS STUFF. I got it at my local Whole Foods. The smell is divine, the smell of sweet roses. Every night before bed I spritz my hair with it. AWESOME!

Ok so here is what I used to make my own oil mix:

• Castor Oil (not a lot it is super thick)
• Almond Oil
• Jojoba Oil
• Olive Oil (not a lot, a bit greasy for me)
• Coconut Oil (not a lot, a bit greasy for me)
• Peppermint (just a few drops)

This weekend I am going to try a wash n go using: Paul Mitchell "The Conditioner", and Paul Mitchell "Foaming Pomade".  So I will keep you posted on how it works (fingers crossed).

Then I plan on trying this mix also at some point: Paul Mitchell "The Conditioner" and Eco Styler Gel (clear, that's all I have right now).
