Life of a Curly GIRL :)

Ive been reading some of my fellow naturalistas journals and they refer to their hair by the names we gave them months ago and I just realized i havent been referring to my coif as Lola Falana as I coined her!! So, from this point on Lola will be getting her due justice....in case, some of my readers arent familiar with Lola Falana heres a pic of her

lol, lola is such a classy name...and the pic as well

**lionel richie voice** HELLLOOO...is it me ur lookin for...

lol thanks Nubie, I thought so as well....

Love the hair BSD it came out really pretty!

thanks curly_aquarius youre such a sweetie

Good Morning Curlies!!!

So I have my work week bun in, I actually like this one better than mine from last week, and plus theres less pull on my edges with this one



this one is really manageable and lasts all week long....

Lola is doing well, but I plan on doing something uber cute with her this weekend, maybe try a wash n go, but those usually dont work well for me....

have a great work week ladies!!!

Your hair came out so pretty! I love it! I love the name Lola, btw! It's fitting.

thanks CurlsGalore!!!

Cute style! Is your hair braided or twisted on the side?

its twisted....i have to do that little twist because i had to cut the heat damage that i had in the front so its like a little bang LOL

Good Morning Naturalistas!!!

I had an AWESOME weekend, and I played around with doing a braidout where i put in about 8 plaits in my head....i made a mix with water, sweet almond oil and giovanni direct leave in and i spritzed it on my dry hair...so this was my first braid out on dry hair and i actually like it better....



I think I really like big hair!!! Ive never really been a big hair fan but this braid out made me adore it..... I went to go see Sex and the City 2 FINALLY and I thought I should try and dress the part I loved the movie!! I think it was better than the first one!!

In other news, I ordered some more unrefined shea butter from eBay and I cant wait for it to get here because im on my last little bit of shea butter mix at the house....

I hope everyone has a great work week...HAPPY MONDAY!!!

thanks ls, and girl the hubby hates the big shades but i adore them LOL

I just realized that my ten month natural hair mark is coming up in a few days....and im SURE the one year mark will sneak up on me just like this ten month mark has. I still cant believe the progress that ive been having with my natural hair. Transitioning for me was filled with joys and sorrows. I loved discovering this new coif of natural hair however there was an internal struggle of letting go of my relaxed hair. I was always the one getting the "your wrap is layed" and "your wrap is so pretty" comments that I was programmed to hearing them and appreciating them, when I stopped getting them and my other close friends got them it started playing with my self esteem. My transition was more than a hair transition period it was a time to transform and reflect myself internally as well. I learned alot about my hair but also about my resilience and strength as an individual. I have gotten comments about my natural hair, but as its grown ive noticed those natural hair pessimists turn into those "your hair looks nice, how did you do that?" commenters....

Im just blessed that Ive learned that I dont need validation through folks comments on my hair or how they may view me because of my hair.....

Good morning Brownskindiva,

I can relate to the negative comments turning positive. I got a lot of crazy looks and comments like why did you do that when I bc'd. Now its your hair is growing and what do you do to your hair?

Its always going to be negative people out there you just have to learn to ignore them and keep it moving.

thanks krazy coils, i appreciate that!!

Love your braid out!!

Congratulations on your award!!

I didnt know you had named your hair. I love the name Lola. There is another curly on this forum that has a blog I follow, hair's name is Lola!!

viva la LOLA!!! lol thanks Lynnie!

Hey BSD! Just dropping by to say Hi!

The shades are HOT, and the twistout is very cute.

thanks coily kinks~!!!

I think someone "jacks" my posts sometimes. Congrats on the award! *singing she's in the money, she's in the money*

Lola is looking great! Keep doing what you are doing.
