I’ve Been Holding Out…

I confess. . . I’ve been holding out on you. For the last six months, I have been working on my natural hair, but not sharing my progress. Primarily, I have been dealing with my health and trying to stay well and fit. In addition, I ran into issues with my hair, and it was falling out pretty badly. If I touched my hair even a little, I would end up with hair in my hands. This was not good. A year ago, I was under tremendous stress and my health and wellbeing were under attack. I was not well, lost a lot of weight, and it also resulted in the hair loss.

I am happy to say that life has changed for the better! I am happier, stress free, and continuing to work on staying healthy and fit. In the meantime, I decided my hair needed a break from any type of manipulation, so I made the transition into locs. It’s what I’ve always wanted, but wasn’t quite sure I was ready to do especially working in the corporate arena. Now, I am in business for myself and that is no longer an issue. I can be ME!

I am proud to report that the four-month transition is going well, and you are the first to see (besides my family, of course)! NO MORE HAIR LOSS either, and it’s growing fast! I admit that I have not gone out of the house with my locs exposed yet, as I am waiting for more growth and the ability to create different styles and updos.

Bantu Knots – My Best NEW Friend!

image

So, now that I have more length,  Bantu Knots have become my favorite go to remedy for producing the best defined curls for my 4C hair texture. A year ago, bantu knots were last on my list.

I’ve been sticking with protective styling throughout this winter season, which has proven beneficial for my hair.

Sometimes, I like to have a little hair out & love my curly, bantu knot-out bangs!

Havana Twists!

I’m real excited to share my new protective style. I installed these today. It took about 4 hours. I used one pack of marley hair. I cut the hair in half, so when it is down, it is only shoulder length. It’s loose, doesn’t pull at your roots, and looks very natural. This will probably last about a month. It’s great for working out too!
