Hey lovelies!

I’m sorry I have been M.I.A.! I’ve been super busy. So, I realized that I haven’t done a hair length check update since my big chop. Well, at least on here. As you all know, I did my big chop October 16th and I decided to only measure my hair every 2 months. I actually did a length check on December 16th. I didn’t take any pictures of it but I wrote down the measurements. Sorry guys, I didn’t measure the starting point so we can go from here…

Front – 3 inches
Front Left – 2 3/4 inches
Front Right – 3 inches
Middle – 3 1/2 inches
Back Left – 2 3/4
Back Right – 2 3/4

I will do the next length check February 16th. How is Your hair journey coming along?

Until next time sweeties,

So one of the things that I have struggled with since I have big chopped is how to apply the products in order to get the results I want. Fuzziness has been my arch enemy and he has been winning every epic battle. Until… tonight. Tonight in which I have absolutely no where to go and didn’t give a crap about what my hair looked like. Tonight was deep conditioning night so I washed my hair and slapped on my favorite DC. I baggied and sat under the dryer for ten minutes. I left the baggie on for another hour while I checked my email. Then I rinsed and decided since I wasn’t going anywhere I wasn’t using my expensive stuff and grabbed some Giovanni direct leave in and some KCCC (Kinky Curly Curling Custard) . I had some left from when I was transitioning and hated them both. I basically slapped them in, not really caring how it would turn out. I walked out of the bathroom to go answer the phone, returned to the bathroom, and looked in the mirror and was like wth! It actually looked great!! It wasn’t fuzzy At All and my hair is ALWAYS fuzzy. I didn’t have white head and it dried wonderfully. I had inadvertently discovered a sweet combination and method of getting the WnG results I wanted (with no freaking where to gooooo!). Ugh. Ah, well. Trial and error is the best way right?
