Now on to everything about HAIR. I am still natural. I have color in my hair in the front but my texture and curl pattern has NOT, EVER altered nor chemically changed.
This year I went back to my mohawk style with my sides being shaved down with blue in the front. *to get my color I used manic panic which is vegan brand. However I used Ion Lightener with no ammonia etc. to lift my hair then deposit the shocking blue and turquoise.* It was a very fun style I must say, with many compliments. I am currently letting my sides grow back and I think I will continue on with my blue hair. I thought about going back to my red and honey color I had last year in 2013. BUTTT we shall see.
Products, products, products!!! I have had the opportunity to sign up with curl collection and those are the products I have been using in my hair. To name a few, Main Element: LOVE, My Honey Child, Coco Curls and Koils by Nature. I am currently experiencing the Koils by Nature line that I received in August.
My staples that I bought when I attending a natural hair event at Epic Curls here in Richmond, VA are part of my staple go too such as Kinky Curly, Shescentit and Tree Natural brands. I use the Leave in conditioner, Jojoba hemp conditioning shampoo and the Rice flower and shea leave in conditioner. Awesome stuff, my hair and scalp enjoys the fresh feeling. Of course with any product, what works for me may or may not work for you. Its an trial and error and I can NOT stress that enough. I been there myself years ago. its a learning process but well worth it in the long run. I personally realized that my hair and scalp prefers natural and organic products/ingredients. Which is also safer especially if your sensitive to items or even allergies.
As far as styles: even though my hair was cut in a mohawk style I was still able to where it up in a puff... updos, buns, and down and I even straighten my hair as if I didnt have shaved sides. As stated, highly fun times I had with my hair. I will post pictures to this post of course. I did have a few uncooperative hair days when my hair did not do what I wanted, and you know what I went with it. the end results was still cute.
Items I keep on my and life savers are hair pins and bobby pins, a stalking leg as a hair tie (since I have heck of a lot of hair).
Moving along, I still offer hair services in my area and advice if anyone needs it. I'm here, just shot me an email. For the products/items I mentioned above here are the websites for them.
