Rut

My hair is stuck in a rut and I don't know how to get out of it. Last year I cut it into a bob and it has grown out of that bob. BUT, it is stuck at the same length it was before I cut it. I want it to be longer. Someone make it grow!!

Bantu Knot Out Results

Here are the results of my Bantu Knot/Chiney Bump Out. Funny thing is I was finally trying Curly Nikki's Twist N Curl and I could tell it wasn't going to come out right. So I turned the large Twists into Bantu Knots. My hair was damp when I did the flat twists in the front and regular Bantu Knots in the bag. I started by two strand twisting each section and adding Shea Butter to my ends. Then I wrapped each section around itself and bobby pinned at the end. I woke up, fluffed and voila!

My front sucks

My front wont grow. For as long as I can remember, my har has always been even all around. Ever since I graduated from college, my front just hasn't been the same. It has finally grown past my ear. It used to reach far beyond my shoulder, but no mas. I cut my hair into a bob last year hoping that my hair would somehow grow evenly. But that didn't happen. The back kept growing and the front...didn't.
I'm lost. I don't know what to do.

Bantu Knot/Chiney Bumps

I finally tried Bantu Knots last night. I am not sure they are supposed to be this tightly curled. Normally I don't care about shrinkage. I am more concerned with how shiny my hair turns out. I just didn't expect for them to make me look like little orphan Annie.

I'm gonna test them out tonight so I'll post pics before I go out.

Sidenote: I still think I'm losing my hair and I don't know why.

Please accept my apologies

I have a confession to make. I haven't combed my hair in 6 days and don't plan on touching it til tomorrow. I've been rocking my fierce n curl lately with rave reviews. It doesn't look so fierce today but I don't plan on leaving the house til Friday so I feel I don't need to do it til tomorrow. My hair always looks better Day 2 & 3. I have a birthday party to go to on Friday and a wedding Saturday so I'm not touching it til tomorrow. I hope my hair isn't mad. I promise to deep condition it as soon as I get home from work tomorrow for at least 2 hours.

The next thing on my to do list is to come up with some type of spritz to keep my hair moisturized. Its looking pretty dry and unhappy right now. One more day. Come on curly fro, you can do it.

Shrinkage?!??

I don't know if it's because I have 2 months of new growth coming out of this head, or because my ends really are breaking but my hair looks shorter. It feels shorter too and I don't know why. I'm loving the kinks that are coming out of my head and I am getting sick of looking at these straight ends. Only problem is they make up so much of my length and I'm afraid to go to short. I need a cut badly, but I promised myself I wouldn't cut my hair til next year.

It doesn't look like I'm gonna make it that long without cutting something.

About Me

Every once in a while...I don't like my hair and am tempted to go back to the hot comb. In order to prevent such a catastrophe, I decided to add another blog.

This will help me document my journey to Nappturality. I'm only 10 weeks in and I'm having issues...my edges are thinning...and I'm pissed!

I also feel like my hair is breaking at the ends. This time last week, I thought my hair was flourishing...guess not.

After my birthday early next month, I will be kinking it in to some twists. I need a break from all this.
