What Helped Me Stretch/Transition

Having stretched relaxers ( & texlaxes), and having been on a long term transition to natural for about 2 years and five months, I can tell you a little bit about how to get over that bumpy road.

So here is my list of things that got me through the battle to win the war of the feuding hair textures.

New Google+ Community!

Just added a new My Hair Bible community to the social network Google+. Don't be shy, come join in the conversation. If you are new to the platform post your name in the comments and I will send you and invite to the group so you don't even have to search. Easily viewed on the Google+ app too.

I'm also on Instagram as My Hair Bible.

Best Hair Type Chart On The Net!

RenieceHairTV on YouTube put up one of the best hair texture charts I've ever seen using the clients from her salon. I just wanted to give her a shout out and tell everyone to comment, rate, & subscribe to her channel. Oh, and one more thing. Pass on her videos, they are amazing!

Hair Update for May 18, 2013

I've bunned, wigged, washed, conditioned, set, twisted, braided, protective styled my hair to the gods for the last five months. I woke up 2 days ago tired and with a headache. Something in my spirit told me I could pull my hair back no more.

I needed to see what was really good in that jungle of new growth. So I washed my hair, sprayed it with heat protectant spray, and got to work with the flat iron. And I mean I gave it that work! Took forever to get through it.

Almost gave up but I'm not one to walk around with all of my hair pressed. I finally finished and was able to drag myself to a bigger mirror to what has been going on up there for the past 5 months. And here is what I saw...

Update on BFF hair progress!

So folks that have been following me for a minute know that I brought my friend into this hair journey I've been on. She was kind enough to believe in what I suggested to stick with it since the spring of 2011. I could NEVER express in words her progress so here are the photos. May they inspire many to keep going.

Oh yeah, she is a type 4C, from relaxed to mildly texlaxed (done once a year). Her routine is similar to mine. Only difference is she uses more castor oil than I do in my mix (hers is 50/50 castor oil/olive oil).

My Go To Twists!

When I don't want to bothered with combing my hair these twists get the job done. I wash/co-rinse them, moisturize & seal them, and wrap then to keep them smooth just like my loose hair. And yes, I even bun them to protect my ends! I don't have fake hair added. This is just twists with the hair on my head.
