Hi Leslie I just stopped by to say Hi...Im nine months into my Natural Hair Journey...Im going to be updating my photo album. Check it out if you like :-)
Oh my gosh!! I love it! I love your site!! It turned out great!! One thing, I noticed a mistake in one of my answers. I don't know if it is too late to correct it or not but the response to the question, "What is your regimen for styling and maintenance?" I wrote that I only comb my hair when it is DRY and full of conditioner, but I meant to write that I only comb my hair when it is WET. I just wanted to make sure your readers weren't confused or they didn't try combing their hair when it's dry because that is really a no no! lol If you can correct it for me that would be great, if not, it's no biggie. Thank you so much. I'll make sure I tell my friends about the link. :)
Hey!! I would love to be featured!! I wanted to know if you could include a link to my website where I sell tees that I design for women with natural hair. It's www.cafepress.com/naturalgirl Check them out and if you like something make a purchase! Here are the answers to your questions:
1. How long have you been natural? 6 months. I transitioned for 2 years. 2. What is your regimen for styling and maintenance? I wash my hair every week or every week and a half. I wash my hair with conditioner only (Aubrey's Honeysuckle Rose). I use shampoo on my scalp every 4 months to get a thorough wash. I usually twist my hair after I've washed it. I use tons of Giovanni's Direct Leave-In conditioner and coconut oil when I'm detangling it. I only comb my hair when it's dry and full of conditioner. I usually alternate between just wearing twists to allow my hair to rest and twist outs. 3. What are your favorite styles and how do you achieve them? I can't pick one! I love them all! I do like the volume I get from wash n gos! 4. You transitioned for a long time. Why did you choose that route and what was that process like for you? I am used to having a lot of hair and I have a big head lol. I didn't want it to be a traumatic experience when I bc'd so I waited until I was comfortable. I had two friends to bc before me and they were in shock and had a tough time in the beginning so I decided to wait it out. Transitioning for so long was tough at first but when I found my staple style (braidouts) and the right leave-in (I started with Cantu and then I started using Giovanni) it became easy. 5. What is your favorite thing about being totally natural? Having healthy hair! And I could never say that I loved my hair before, but I absolutely love my hair now! I love the versatility of natural hair and how unique our hair is. I love being different from mainstream America. 6. Is there anything else you would like to share about your experience with Naturally Leslie readers? Except your hair for what it is and what it's not. Don't compare your hair to anyone else's. Love what God gave you! :)
Please wait...
