About Me

My photo
I'm on a journey to grow my hair longer. Genetically my hair has always been naturally long and healthy. I have been stuck between SL (shoulder length) & APL (armpit length) for the longest due to improper care of my hair & scissor-happy beauticians. I'm trying to get back to where I was in my younger years: BSL (bra strap length). I am TALL with a long torso so it may take me longer than others to reach it. My locks are natural (never been relaxed). I will be blogging about different products and techniques I use on my hair. My MAIN GOAL is to get to BSL! If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Enjoy :) God bless :)

Head Scarves

My cornrows are sooooooooooooo FUZZY right now, and this was expected since I wash my hair twice a week for now. So to cover up my mess, I will be wearing a satin scarf on my head. I really like how they look on me! :) All I did was fold my large square scarf into a rectangle and then tie it down to my head. I went out and bought a couple rectangle-shaped scarves today but I'm not too sure about them because they're not satin or silk. They're not cotton niether; the fabric just feels a little rough. If I wear these ones, I'll apply some type of moisturizer and oil to my hair where the scarf will be applied. Also, I put the rest of my braids in a bun to cover up the rest of that mess on top of my head.

Random (texture, bun & hair plans)

Texture shot...
This isn't a really good shot of my texture but my hair texture has definitely changed :/ My hair use to get spiral curls (3c) when I'd wash it; now it's just wavy (2b, 2c). Not really upset but just trying to figure out why this is happening. Maybe it's Nioxin?



This is a bun I'd been wearing on my hair for a while. I thought it was cute because it's so crinkly and full, and that happened by accident lol. After my wash, I'd detangled, applied Curls Creme and did about 20 twists in my hair. I'd left them in for a few days, untwisted the twists and my hair was crinkly :) Didn't really have any shape when I wore it down so I just bunned it by putting my hair into a ponytail with a thin ouchless hair tie, tucked my ends under, used one jumbo sized bobby pin to pin that down.







I got my hair cornrowed again (the style that I normally receive a massive amount of growth). I will be washing my hair more often using a medicated shampoo my doctor prescribed me for my scalp issues, deep conditioning more, moisturizing my hair daily, moisturizing & sealing my ends daily, massaging my mix (castor oil, Gro Aut oil, peppermint oil, rosemary oil) into my scalp on my temples to thicken the hair. And I plan on wearing cornrows until the end of next month around Christmas time

Curl Creme Brule

I was looking for an all natural leave-in conditioner to leave in my hair after I wash and condition it. I couldn't really find one that I liked (I have probably tried almost all of the leave-in conditioners that contain all natural ingredients). i was browsing through the store & i found this moisturizer called Curl Creme Brule. i am EXTREMELY picky when it comes to my daily moisturizer & I'd finally found something that fit my requirements :) It's a creamy moisturizer with all natural ingredients and I really like it. It keeps my hair moist. Nothing TOO exciting but I am content with this. It smells like coconut :)
