Wearing my natural hair on my birthday for the first time in ~9 years
I’ve posted my journey a few times now but here’s my little story:
Decided to go back natural in July of last year so this is 11 months of hair transitioning, and I still have some ends to trim but I might wait a few months until I go to a curly hair specialist because I took off a decent chunk a few months ago.
- I wash every week
- apply no heat besides a diffuser (although I actually have *air dried* for the past month)
- use the Kinky Curly Knot Today leave in
- Miss Jessie’s Pillow Soft Curls
- The Doux’s Mousse Def
- depending on the wash day, I’ll use some gel in the front sections just because they get frizzier more easily
- I sleep with my hair pineappled in a bonnet at night
- I finger coil to blend the textures
For my birthday, I purposefully washed and styled my hair 2 days beforehand because I hate Day 1 hair 😭 It looks too limp, I need the hair to get some BODY
I just bought Miss Jessie’s Jelly Soft Curls gel, so I might try it out next wash day and come back with the results. I have to see how it mixes with my other products first!
If you guys have any wash n go tips I would love to hear ☺️ Always looking to improve.
EDIT: Thank you for the awards!! 💗
