ME, HAIR & STUFF

ME, HAIR & STUFF: Build Me a Mr Big Closet I'll Marry you... :  Other Stuff.... Before the Sex And The City series aired I never knew that walk in closets existed. You see in my demure way of life, first  it was the big wooden wardrobes that were suffed silly with clothing items until they literally came apart at the seams. Then it was still the same narrow design with the wall closets. So when I saw the Carrie Bradshaw character waltz around her walk in closet in her single girl New York apartment dreamily reaching out for her clothes and shoes that were in clear view, and not digging in some narrow close space, I said EUREKA, that closet makes much more sense! I promised myself there and then that i would get my self that closet when i grew up.  Carrie's single girl closet :)   Zoom forward to 2008 0r is it 9? Carrie Bradshaw and her walk in was back on my screen on SATC the movie, this time as a mature 40 ...

Its been 3 months since my maiden voyage of my natural hair journey. Afro is growing well. There is not much I can do to it except wash, condition, protein treatments and that sort. Its the dreaded winter time when most fros hide under protective styles like braids, weaves and the like. Mine is prevented from doing so by the length. My intention is also not to dye or manipulate it for at leat seven months. I will just let it grow wild. The mission for this dreary winter is to keep my hair moisturised and soft, which I have managed to do so far. Recently before wash, I pre poo with a concoction of Tresseme Naturals conditoner, honey, aloe and olive oil. I wash  with a sulphate free shampoo (I will look up the name but i got it from spar) and condition with the  Naturals or Pantene. I use Sta so Fro braid spray for moisture and seal with coconut oil or the ORS avocado and shea butter creme. I sometimes use the Soft n Free styling gel for curl definition....
