Being Natural…
I went natural ALL the WAY natural after my wedding last year. The journey actually started a little bit before that because I was pregnant and I did a relaxer while pregnant but it didnt take, I mean it was like I never even used it…
So from then on I decided that I would no longer use a relaxer. Even for my wedding, although I was VERY tempted I didnt get a perm because I wore my hair back in a bun and only the front of my hair was out. It actually worked out very well that way…
A couple months after getting married…in July I decided to do the “big chop”…
Now if you know me, you know that I love short hair on others but it is NOT my thing for myself! I was excited that I built up enough courage to do the big chop but once I did it I actually hated it…I just didnt feel pretty! Sorry ladies I didn’t have that moment of empowerment, I mean I dealt with it because I had to but was I a huge fan…ABSOLUTELY NOT! I have days when I feel it and days when I hate it…
But lately I have come across a few products that I LOVE!!!!
I usually tend to gravitate towards products in the L’Oreal Company Store-and since L’Oreal are the makers of Mizani…I have tried a lot of their products! I knew they were good because they use them at the salon, but that was when I had permed hair so now that I am natural I am trying new products!
True Textures Curl Soft
does just what it says…conditions but keeps your curls SUPER soft! I use this right after washing it or fresh out the shower!

Taliah Waajid Line
Now this line isnt a L’Oreal line but it works great!!!
I am currently using the Curl Cream, I use this when I am ready to style my hair. It does skrink up the hair and make it VERY curly but depending on the style I dont mind! If you use this only your hair curls and stays soft also, but it does dry it a little too much so I have to use oil along with it.
Taliah Waajid-The Great Detangler
The name speaks for itself…this stuff is AHHHHMAZING!!!!
I heard about it a LONG time ago but I just started putting it in rotation…I am able to really comb my hair out with this stuff!
Taliah Waajid-Protective Mist Bodifier
I use this to keep my hair soft! Can you tell I’m all about soft hair! This works great, especially on a day 2 twist out…it gives life back to your hair and moisturizes it!
Dark & Lovely Au Naturale
I tried this from a recommendation from my husband (you like that dont you…hubs giving hair advice). He walked passed this line in the store and said we make this it will probably work good in your hair! HA! So when I ran out of my other products I purchased this line…YES, this is now in rotation! I did a twist out last weekend for a party and it worked great, then the next day (I was too tired the night before do anything to my hair but put a bonnet on it) and it was still curly and I wore a curly fro (HATE that I didnt get a picture) I’m going to try to recreate this look again this weekend!
I feel like this helped me get the PERFECT twist out…and kept my hair SUPER moisturized!
(gotta love cell phone pics after a couple of drinks)
Two pictures from the Graduation party that we went to. I twisted my hair around 10 something that morning, and PRAYED hard that it would be dry by 4…good thing we were running late because I untwisted it around 5, and I was VERY pleased!
