Let's Talk About Hair Baby!

Amidst all that's been happening, I haven't done a hair post in a LONG while!

An update on what I'm doing with my own hair...I haven't gone natural, YET, but I'm still felling inspiration from all around me: youtube vids, pics, people I see around town, and friends. One of my friend girls has gone natural recently and she's trying to convince me every chance she gets to go ahead and do a big chop! Slowly, but surely...

I haven't put a relaxer on my hair in a while! I think the last time I did was January. I use a flat iron everyday anyway so I figured I could skip the relaxer. I wear my hair short so it doesn't really matter to me. The haircut that I have right now, is the shortest it's been EVER! My goal is to go shorter and shorter until there's none left, haha!

I've switched hair products since I haven't relaxed my hair. I'm now using Cantu shampoo and conditioner with shae butter. I think it gives me the extra moisture I need for my new growth and even my relaxed ends that are still present. I don't do too much to protect the ends since I get a cut every so often. I still use the Cantu strengthening cream on my wet hair post-conditioning. It's a great heat protector since I use my flat iron everyday! I'll put an oil moisturizer on it while it's dry. I've tried alot of products so I use whatever I have: Africa's Best Olive Oil, Pink Oil, Profectiv, shae butter, or grease...whatever really! Then I style and use a holding spray! The holding spray is really drying so I try not to use too much (I reccommend the same for others as well)!

I recently switched hair stylists too! She's great (and alot cheaper than my last one)! She's been keeping me fresh and edgy with designs all all that jazz lately!

This one is the very first time she cut my hair. I want to say March 5th. I've had another haircut (and design) since then.

I'm a fan of cutting your hair until you're content. Anyone who wants to do it, GO FOR IT! It's just hair, it will grow back (if you want it to haha). One thing I tell people though, not only keeping your hair cut, but the daily styling is ALOT of work. So don't cut your hair if you're one of "those people" who don't like to: a) style your own hair and b) style it everyday. I mean there are alot of styles where you can get up and go and just wear it. But the point of short hair is to rock it (style it)!
