Curlmart.com

Ok so last week I ordered some products from Curlmart.com and today I recieved my package. SOOOOOO happy with the whole process. The website makes it easy to shop with how they catergorize it. But the best part was the free samples!!! I ordered the Mixed Chicks Sulfate free shampoo, Mixed Chicks DEEP conditioner, Carols Daughter Hair Balm, and a Denman brush. But the extras are awesome!

Braid-Out & Curl

I tried a new style a few weeks ago (via Kairox146 on Youtube)... It's a Braid-Out and Curl at the end. I used the One 'n Only Argan Oil Curl Creme and my Orange Flexi Rods. Check out the results: Braid & Curl

Flexi Rod Craze!!!

While on Youtube I found a few tutorials on using Flexi Rods. And I instantly fell in love!!! So I ran to Sallys Beauty Supply store (Which I pretty much visit 2-3 times a week) and bought some. I started out with (20) Blue and (20) Orange. And I liked it,but everyone elses reaction was WAY more heightened than mine they LOVED it. Now I want to try the other sizes (Larger),but I'll pace myself. And oh yeah I've given up the flat iron until my birthday in April (I'm 3 weeks strong) to see how much more growth I'll get without it!!! Here's some photos:

HAIR MISSION IMPOSSIBLE

Ok Blogspot world... It's been AGES, but I'm back not only to show my progress to the world. But also this is a better more organized way for me to see my progress personally. About 7 months ago (June 15th, 2011) I decided I was going to transition into a natural hair state. I haven't had a relaxer in a long while, but I was an EXTREME addict to the Domincians and Heat "treatment" life. I washed and conditioned my hair religiously, but followed that up with Blow drying at extreme temps and flat ironing at the highest temp level (410 degrees). Now I have a REALLY good grade of hair that can withstand some wear and tear, but I wanted my nautral curls back and that fullness. So I decided enough was enough. Now lets begin this journey of "Hair Mission Impossible" even though I'm 7 months late (HEHEHE). I'm going to post pictures of my hair last June (Straigthened) and then the last time I washed it with the new growth and you can see the New curl pattern and the heat damged hair difference. I'm still learning of new transition styles and products to use. So that will be documented on the blog as well. It's a learning process for me too. I'm excited!!!

June 2011 (Extreme heat damage had NO curls at all) January 2012 (It's pinned up, but this is my natural curl pattern)

Late Nights & Early Mornings.

Dreams- A seris of images, ideas, emotions, and sensations occuring invlountarily in the mind during certain stages of sleep.

Dreams are sometimes callled; "moments of clariy" or "moments of our true emotions and thoughts". If this is true, have you had a dream that felt so real it put a worry on your mind. Now I'm not talking about a dream of someones death or a loss, but more of a "gain". A premonition that a relationship was develpoed with a person way out of left field. That "Ah Ha!" moment when your heart and brain spoke in unison (Jinx! moment). Where do you go from there? Avoid all the signs or super glue your feet to the concrete and grab the metal rail to brace yourself for the impact. Fear paralizes us to the unknown, and the unknown becomes a manifest of fear.

"Embrace the unknown, and love fear"
