As the season is changing, like clock work, my hair is changing too. I need help. As for those who have read my blogs, you know that I have come to my senses and transitioned to the natural way of living in hair care. I have been free of relaxers since June and everything was working out nicely. Until the end of last month. I have noticed my hair is dry and lacks moisture. I need advice on a new regimen to treat my hair during these changing seasons. I'm not necessarily seeking out particular products, but essential ingredients I should look for in products to leave my hair moisturized.

I came right to this site because my sisters have yet to leave me in the dark on anything I've needed. I thank you in advance for your helping hand.

Until then...stay blessed!

Oh my!!! Who would have known the decision to transition from a relaxed cut swooped to the side to a kinky fro cut would be one of the best decisions I've ever made for myself and for my hair! I am rocking this fro like no one's business. I added to my wardrobe, purchased a few new accessories to have a nice collection to rotate with, and have developed a different type of stroll. I remember this stroll. I am happy to have it back. Hair has so much control, I am happy to be able to regain that control.

As I posted previously, I am in the transitional stage from relaxed to natural with a 6 week old relaxer. I have seen my stylist in Lexington and drove an hour to consult with a stylist who "specializes" in natural hair. I place quotes around specializes because I am starting to question what all that means. Do I necessarily need to consult with someone to grow my hair out naturally? Because naturally is it not going to do what it is going to do anyway?! I think it's a good question...so I've decided to put my faith in someone else's hands while going through this process. My own!

On my search for my own some kinda, I am trying to build my foundation in Lexington, KY. After losing my Nanny last January and deciding to end a relationship after five years of young love not yet matured, my journey began. My current theme park ride adventure involves purchasing my first home, starting a new school year [as a 4th year teacher], pursuing my Masters, and making the decision to embrace the desire of having a natural head of hair!

As I googled for guidance on how to effectively embrace this desire, I came across this website. I am here in hopes of finding people who will "hold my hand" during this process. Lexington is a great city, but Kentucky lacks diversity. I have found the best stylist for me, but I only rely on my beautician for so much [who I see every 2 weeks].

I am in my transitional phase from relaxer to natural with a five week old relaxer, a recent trim because of fear of the "big chop." Although I don't have much length, I think it was fear on both parts of the outcome. By the end of next month, I will have all of my relaxer grown/cut out.
