My First RollerSet

So last night I did my first rollerset!!!! :-) :-) :-)

I CO-washed my hair first using my Olive Oil deep conditioner. I then applied African Pride leave in conditioner and heat protector. I then detangled my hair. Since my hair is natural I had to comb through and get each section as straight as possible before I could roll it in the rollers. I then grabbed my laptop and plopped my butt under the dryer. An hour and half later....and viola smooth, silky hair (I promise to post pics next time!). The only issue I had were with my roots, they were super curly :-(. To fix this, I applied Olive Oil Moisturizer and Apoghee Essential Oils to my hair, parted my hair in sections, then flat ironed my roots. My hair looks great and feels so smooth.

The method of appliying moisturizer and oil to my hair every night is really working out for me..no more frizzy, dry ends and brokeb hair strands in the sink. My hair has never looked and felt healthier!

This weekend...Protein Time!

The Beginning...

For as long as I could remember I've wanted long, flowy hair. I've tried weaves, wigs, sew-in and every kind of hair product you can thing of to achieve this.

Years later and little change in growth, I've finally decided to take charge of my own hair!

Right now I'm at armpit length and I am DETERMINED to reach bra strap length by my birthday APRIL 29. That means I have to grow 2 inches in 2mths!!!! Can it be done???

Lets See...
