finally joined #teamnatural [pics & my journey so far]
I am no stranger to LHCF. I have been a lurker for some years now, but after doing ample research I decided to go natural back in may of 2010. My transition was not long at all. My BC was November of 2010, so I transitioned for about 6 months. I normally wore my hair in a bantu knot out while i transitioned
When i big chopped my hair was about 2 and 1/2 inches in length
Then I made a quick wig that I wore for two months while bagging my hair underneath
When I got bored with the wig I cut it just to jazz it up a bit :superbanana:
I then wore my fro for about a week, then proceeded to protect my hair again with senegalese twist for 2 additional months
Now that my hair has grown I rock the fro and I must say, I LOVE IT! For the most part I do twist outs or I would twist my hair leave it in for a few days and rock a twist out a few days prior to my wash day
Products I am currently using and loving are:
Shampoo: renpure's "my pretty hair is parched" shampoo or Giovanni 50:50 Balanced Hydrating-Clarifying Shampoo (when I clarify)
Conditioners:Giovanni's tea tree triple treat conditioner
Leave in: Kimmay Tubes leave in (modified)
Daily moisturizer: Naptural85 shea butter lotion mix (Modified)
Oils: hempseed, cocoa nut, wheat germ, castor ,jojoba and EVOO (sometimes)
**also to my DC i add some rose water hydrosol***
Hope this helps and Thank you all my LHCF sistahs for such great info!
