what she said!

LOL, I am working on the pics now

@LL, I made the frame with cardboard and then wrapped with blankets. There are a ton of diapers inside for the "mattress"

I love your diaper carriage, it's too cute. I wish I would've known about it a few weeks earlier, I put on a baby shower for my sister; but we did diaper cakes instead (still super cute). Just want to say, that I love your hair, it's gorgeous. I've been stopping by your thread from time to time, to check on your updates, especially the dye ones. I'm conteplating dying my hair and still using henna so I'm encouraged by your positive results thus far.

Have a blessed week, and happy belated birthday

Good Morning Tia,

I'm waiting on pics too ...

So.....I did my style this weekend. It was a busy and fun-filled weekend but I would really love a nap right about now. My hips hurt from skating - I need to work out just a little harder, LOL.

First, here is the dye:

All the steps I followed and why are documented in that blog post: http://tiashauntee.blogspot.com/2010/03/color-change-natural-blue-black.html

Here is my Tanika Ray inspired style, it's not exact because of the length of my hair. I need to start looking for longer styles for inspiration:



It was a busy weekend and I was tired - I didn't even notice that the pic was blurry.

I will have to post my bun later because I have a camera cord but no camera....I told you I needed a nap.

Hope you had a nice B-Day. Your color looks nice. I'm lovin the earrings, I'll send you my address so that you can send them to me .

@neethair: LOL, I don't even remember where they came from

hey tia!!! i LOVE the hair and happy belated birthday to you! i'm a fan of the 1B hair!!! (you know i used to love weaves if I know the color types)..LOL

@mrsmackey: that's funny...I had to think about it for a minute. I was like "1B?" LOL. Yes you were a fan!

SUCH A FAN! but now i'm a fan of all things NATURAL! last night, i called my husband allllllllllllllllllllllll the way down from the studio..on the OPPOSITE end of the house, so he can lay in the bed and play in my new growth!!!! he was like, "what in the world??!"

LOL @ MrsMackey
@Tia - Love the new hair color! You mentioned in your blog post that you 'styled your hair in a style that embraced your natural curl pattern'. Since I'm newly transitioning, I'm not quite sure the types of styles that would do that, can you briefly explain a few...would bantu knots, t'n'c, etc. be a few, or would those create a larger curl pattern for the hair? (which wouldn't be quite optimal right after a dye, if the goal is to maintain the natural pattern)?

I consider those to be styles that involve no stretching or or pulling on my hair. I typically do twists after dyeing and those twists are done on super wet hair. I encourage shrinkage.

I love you new color...looks great!

I like the new color! Get it girl!

I LIKE it A LOT!!!!

Okay....I'm going back black. That is a nice look on you, and I love those earrings too!!!

I love the color Tia! I love your hair...I cant wait until I am relaxer free
