Easy Twist Out Tutorial {Natural Hair}
I’m doing it again. I’m giving up the Creamy Crack (aka hair relaxer). I know, it seems like I do this every couple of months but this time I’m determined to see it through. Last time I lasted a full year and was completely natural, then I went to my mom’s and the rest is history… As much as I loved being able to control my hair with the relaxer, I was seriously missing my curls. And I started to develop a bad case of hair envy. Have you seen my Pinterest board? I’m obsessed. Check it out here. I’ve been transitioning for 6 months now and so far my…

Transitioning Over the course of the last year, my hair has gone from straight to curly and a little bit of everything in between. It hasn’t been an easy journey.

I Did the Big Chop…Kinda~Sorta
I started transitioning from relaxed hair to natural hair in July of last year. I am totally enjoying the freedom and liberty that comes with natural hair. Last week, I cut the last bit of relaxed hair off (I was so incredibly frustrated and tired of dealing with dual textured hair). Before I cut it, I had to either braid it or twist it every night before going to bed and that was incredibly time consuming. Now that I’ve cut off relaxed portions, I can just go to bed ~ no worries. In the morning, I can either wash my hair or spritz it with water to “reactivate” the curls.…
