Newly Natural

So as I continue on my natural hair journey I recently checked the length of my hair...ONLY 2".  Okay so I'm not able to do any styling but I can focus on what it means to be a "Newly Natural" and educating myself.  I have been reading A LOT and have come across both good and bad information.  I'm open to trying new things in this new adventure however I am not open to trying anything that is going to destroy my hair! 

I have never really been a fan of heat, glues in my hair, beeswax, gels, spritz, etc.  I think that is why other than the factor of genetics, blah blah blah that has assisted in my hair growth thus far.  I have never really believed in lots of manipulation of my hair which allowed it to grow.  My problem was that I never really cared enough to retain the length of my hair. 

I see that lately in my natural hair journey that my scalp health has improved because I am constantly adding water and cleansing my hair and scalp properly!  I know that if my scalp (and hair) could tap dance it would and thank me for FINALLY allowing it to breathe!  I would only wash my hair maybe twice a month (ewh I know) but I notice that now that I'm taking an active approach in my hair and scalp care that it is feeling a LOT better than it was before.

Cold Weather and My TWA (Teeny Weeny Afro)

So cold weather Fall/Winter is swiftly approaching and I have no hair LOL...Hummmm what am I going to do?  Well I will be shopping for different accessories to protect my locks from the fridge temperatures that are approaching.  I'm not sure what I want to go for but I'm sure I will be making some hair accessories, scarves, etc. on my own.  I guess I will have to get my "Martha Stewart" on in order to look cute! 

Stay tuned! I will make a YouTube vid so you guys can have a visual!
