This is my second blog and I wanted to talk about my hair. For years I have been so unhappy with my hair. I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with it, I was always paying someone to do it so that way I could keep my own hands clean. But right now, I am at a point in my life where I want my hair to do "it's thing". I want my hair to show me it's beauty that for so many years I have always tried to cover up. Within the last couple of weeks, I have taken my hair down and have allowed it to be itself. I co-wash it now with Giovanni's Direct Leave In conditioner which is the bomb and also Aubrey's GPB (I could be spelling that wrong) conditioner as a deep conditioner. I love both of these products, they really MOISTURIZE my hair and my hair feels like super soft when I use the both of them together. Another product I use that I just recently bought is Eco Styling Gel with Olive Oil and Eco Styling Gel Clear with moisturizer! I have been sleeping on this gel, it doesn't cake up in my hair and I love how soft it makes my hair feel and how my hair looks once it dries.
I am going to start and try to continue doing my own hair for awhile to see what it's growth potential is and how good I can get at doing it myself. Right now, my protective hair styles for the summer are the two strand twists, and when I have my water aerobics class on Wednesday, I will take the twist out and wear the twist out, but put it in a pony tail for my water class! I am going to try and wear it in a big, twist out ponytail to see how cute that can be. I see so many women wearing the natural hair styles nowadays, it's awesome. I'm so glad to see women of color taking pride in our natural state of hair and seeing what it can do for us as oppose to what we can do to it....
