Updating the process

Hey there = ) I know I have been rather absent. I have been keeping up with life and that is enough at times. Since my last blog update I have gotten older, wiser and sexier! OK... at least older and wiser! My hair is indeed growing but only I can really see it! LOL - I find when its soaking wet and I am in the shower, that is when the hair is easily noticed as being LONGER! Yay! But the downside is as it dries... shrinkage takes over! That is the worst part of having curly hair, actually natural hair in general.  I have included a photo from winter when the sun was out and in my next blog you will see the difference in my growth and hopefully texture. I have stopped being the product junkie that I was, I basically have decided to stick with what works. I love Kinky-Curly but can afford Eco-Styler! SO I will use both and depending on the event, depends on which you will catch me in.  I do promise that I will keep you better updated. I will try to include some OOTD (outfit of the day) so you can see for your self that I am not only hair, perhaps you will notice that I am a sexy 40+ year old woman with my own style... WHY? Because finally I am grown... Lol  (Just kidding).
I also want to start including some make-up ideas..No I am not professional and basically I am learning to manipulate make up to assist me in looking good. Again, hopefully you will want to explore and journey with me.  Its more fun to learn with another. So lets learn together.

Okay, I did it! I have taken off my straight ends... I am not sure if I like my hair, but I will learn to love it. Already I see it is different than it use to be.  It has alot of shrinkage. Its very curly in the front with beautiful curls and in the back... whew. Its kinda frizzy and seems like a entire different texture. This is of course what I initially found frustrating and lead me to a perm in the first place.  However, now being an adult - I know I can choose to do this better. I will try products (Yes, I have become a product junkie) and I will learn what works the best in my hair. I have tried some products that I know worked before (with straight ends) and I will need to re-test.
Kinky Curly was like heaven in a jar and Knot Today is whew - blessed. I do like Shea Moisture the curl enhancing product, I use a little with the Eco-Styler which works VERY well in my hair.  The Miss Jessies I will need to re-try as before it did nothing for my straight hair but the part that curled was very tight. It looked strange before so now I will check it again.  I liked the TIGI Catwalk Rocks.. That is a wonderful product. It was moisturizing and gave me beautiful curls. Although I may need to try it since my cut.  The Carols Daughter.. makes me have very tight and moist curls but it reminds me alot of the curly afro. I will keep you posted and will update some photos.. from one to the other you are able to see the changes...
