Priceless: ITS BEEN A YEAR BEING NATURAL AHHHH I LOVE IT

ok ladies I am joining curly-me-naturally challenge to get fit. My goals is to get rid of my little handles on my sides and to flatten my tummy.

I am going to start by first just drinking water for one week nothing else. I saw a thread that some naturals have started and I was late reading it but I am going to try it any way.

I love the zumba class at my gym but of course my busy scheduling does not always give me the opportunity to get to the gym.

Now working out I do not really know what my routine is going to be but I will start something.

Morning Priceless..

I'm going to join the challenge...I do lose focus on most of these challenges, but I hope to keep up with this one since I'll be working out it should be easy to track my progress!!! Simple right? I hope so!!

Have a great day!!

KNH

I remember the small islet in the middle of the ocean. I was too scared to snorkel around since the waves were a bit choppy. I visited Puerto Plata for my honeymoon in March 2009.

I have tried the KbN products. They are very good. I did my twists in November with the butter and gel. You can see the pictures in my November fotki album.

@chrs the weaves were not to high this time. if they were high i probably would have never went. My husband was so scared to get out there that he did not go far at all. Our guided got me to go far I would have never went without him. when I realized how far i was i almost panicked

@KNH I hope i do not lose my focus cause i tend to do that also

So i pretty much have been giving up on miss jessies products cause i was not getting the results i want. But this weekend I tried the miss jessie's quick curls. I only tired it cause i realized that I had it from when I BC'd. My pops brought it for me along with some other products to get me excited of a new look. Anyway I have to say that I like it. I cowashed with yes to tomates put a little HEHH in as a leave in and put that on top. My curls actually poped with a little help to of the eco styler in my edges.

I still have not tried the deep conditioner but I will be trying that when i henna this wknd.
Is the rapid recovery a good DC when you henna? have anyone tried it?
Do you change your regimen and/or routine now that the weather is hotter?

Hi Priceless,

Your make-up looks good, looks like you're an old pro.....I'm trying to get on your level

Thanks for the compliment but believe it or not I just started wearing make up like last year. I been on youtube hard looking at how to apply make up. when I am bored I just play with what I got.

Ok so I just read a post on how to tell what your hair likes and dislike. I am glad that I found it because it put a couple of things in perspective. Miss jessie curly pudding by it self after a wash in go is over moisturizing my hair. My hair is soft but so mushy after using that stuff. all the conditioners that I have tried have been good so far. Now have to try to do research on how to figure out the other stuff of what works and don't work.

Henna, I was so curious and thought that i needed to wait for drama to get longer. I finally decided to do it tonight. I had help, my dad girl help me. she made sure that it was all the way through drama, saturated the mess out of her. Lets see what's the hype about. I left the cord to the camera in the car, hence I have some pictures coming. I will post in the am car down the street not going to walk tonight. I really hope that it works for me I will be leaving it in my hair over night if I can stand it.

Oooooh! I can't wait to see your results! I'm a little scared of henna, but I've been strongly considering it. I have henna stashed away and I'm just waiting to use it! Please share your mix and routine, if you don't mind.

Ok so this is what I did witht he henna

I brewed 2 cups of green tea
I poured the henna mix in a bowl and mixed the two slowerly until i got the mash potatoe consistency
I left and ran to two stores was gone about a hour and came back
jumped in the shower cowashed with organix mandarin olive oil conditioner
once out I added the 2 tea spoons of honey and had my father's girlfriend put the mix in my hair
once finished I put a plastic cap on my head a silk scarf and my satin bonnet and left it for the night
When i woke up in the am I did notice that I had crumb like substance on the pillow but i made sure that i had the pillow cover with a old towel any way
@ like 11am this morning i rinsed it out
I was scared that it would get all over the place but it actually did not get all over the place. I made sure that I had a plastic cup so once i did the intial rinse i can splash water over it and that actual worked for me
once i cowashed like 6 times i did not see the traces of the henna no wear around the bathroom
(remember I have a TWA so it was not a alot of hair I washed out, hence not to much splatter)

I am sitting right now with miss jessie's rapid recovery and shea butter in my hair been in for about a hr

Be back to tell you all how it turned out after that oh and got the cord out the car so will be uploading the pics

i cant wait to see ur results and tell me how u like (or dislike) the rapid recovery too

i couldnt get wit the MJ quick curls...uh it did nothing for me. i do want to try the curly pudding but i'll have to get it for their next BOGO sale.

the before pics 100 % dry






Henna fully in head







About to wash it out now

ur hair looks good dry! all them products u been buying...its workin!

naked hair after the henna and dc





New style, I let my step sis experiment she is natural also going about the wrong way with weaves and heat. She has been natural for a couple years now and really never did no research about it. I told her about this site and told her to sign up for it. we will see if she actually does.












Excuse the neck i need a line up

I have to say that i do like how my twist come out with shea. the front is a twist out with shea. i only left the twist in there for like 15 mins and then unraveled them. After all the work i did to the hair in the last two days I did not want to twist the whole middle of my hair. I know lazy

Henna results:

I like how it feels as in softness but when i rinsed before the DC it was straw like. Once i dc'd with miss jessie's rapid recovery hair did not have that much slip. Drama was dry not as dry as after the henna. I feel like my hair has fullness but not really a difference in the curl. The color show a little in the sun

Thanks the problem with all these products i mix up what i use so often that i can't figure out what works together.

Your hair looks great! You have good curl definition and I like that style. I think I'm gonna steal it

I can definitely see the curl definition and the twists on the side are cute!

Thanks

My head is still itching after I henna'ed I jus put some tea tree oil jojoboa oil and castor oil mix on it cause it was driving me crazy. I don't know if I like the miss jessie's rapid recovery it did not made my my hair that soft at all. but I may try it again at a later date.

I would try the henna again but may change what I mix it with it was itching for 3 days I washed it til it was clear but when i DC it was still a little in there again so don't know where that came from. I also rinsed like 2 days later and i again seen traces of it so maybe it was itchy cause i didn't get it out right.
