Shea Moisture Keeps Surprising Me

 At first I didn't like it, then I thought it was OK, then I started to dislike it when It dried my hair out....now, we're friends again. 

I mean look at the definition in these curls. This, by the way, was done on hair that hasn't been washed or de-tangled in days! 

 Product used: Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie

 I clipped the front of it up and let a few curls hand loose. 

The other 'Shea Moisture' product that I have is the African Black Soap Deep Cleansing Shampoo.

I don't really like this shampoo, but I found out that a lot of other curlies love it.
My little sister's hair seems to like it too. I will use this Shampoo the next time I wash my hair, so we'll see if things change.

...And Two Months Later...

...I'm finally back. I wanna give a big, fat sorry to my curly readers.

It was not my plan to neglect my blog, but once again, things happen.

What happened over the past two months


1) I straightened my hair! (completely spontaneous! If you're a reader, you know it was my plan to straighten twice a year -- May and Nov or Dec -- but my aunt wanted to see my hair straightened and I figured 'well, why not'. And so I straightened on March 2nd and washed it out around the 18th. I didn't take any pictures because I was upset with the results [I had used my mom's Conair flat iron- need I say more?])

2) I've been snip, snip, snipping like I lost my mind (Every knot, and split end gives me the itch to snip off 1/4 inch of hair, and I've been doing that weekly [it's like I'm trying to punish my hair for what I've done - yeah, I've lost it] I'm not looking forward to straightening again, cause I don't want to see how uneven it's gonna be)

3) Don't remember the last time I've deep conditioned (It's about to be April and I'm pretty sure I've only deep conditioned once. So I don't think I need to mention that my hair isn't in it's best condition. Oh so shameful)

So, yeah. For the past few months I've been applying heat, not

applying deep conditioner and I've been cutting my hair. Not my best attempt at 'hair care'.

Good thing this is a blog about my day-to-day hair care journey and not a 'How To Care For Your Curly Hair' blog.

I'm working on it though...hopefully you guys have been doing better than I have.
