ATTENTION EVERYONE!!!! I HAVE BCed~!!!!~!!!!!!

During the wee hours of the morning on November 28, 2010,

I Big Chopped!!!

I cut about 4 inches from the back and 7ish from the front. I like it, but it's shorter than I've ever had my hair. I was so afraid of this day but I love it.

I put in twists cause i didn't know what else to do. I'm so used to having long hair to curl and twist and braid and straighten.

Pictures are in the near future.

So far no feelings of regret...

64 weeks.

I have left this blog for quite a while (over a year I think) but now I am back! I almost basically have everything together with school and work and everything. I have many hair updates that will appear in the coming days and weeks, because I have been buying products and trying new styles, taking pictures, trying new products, etc., but I just haven't been posting about it. Not even on the Curly Nikki forum (I'm under Pwatem).

So my update so far is that I am 64 weeks into my long-term transition. I haven't trimmed my hair or done any major cuts (as you can see in the previous post) since then. I'm really focusing on retaining length at this point. Once in a while I can't think of anything to do with my hair and I want to grab some shears and BC so badly, but I think about my super bun (pictures will appear soon), and I hold out.

I have recently, and by recently I mean 2 days ago, discovered my perfect regimen and product combination for my hair.

For in the shower:

• Aussie Moist
• J/A/S/O/N Biotin Shampoo
• Garnier Fructis Sleek and Shine
• Aussie Smooth
• HE Hello Hydration
• South of France Shea Butter Bar

Styling:

• Cantu Shea Butter Leave-in Conditioner
• Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition
• Garnier Cream Gel
• EVCO
• Smooth n' Shine Curl Activator Gel

I have replaced Fantasia IC gel with Smooth n' Shine and it is amazing. I have read a lot of hype about Fantasia and I used it for a long time, but it just doesn't do what I want it to. I have no beauty supply store near me, so I have to rely on what Target or Walmart for most of my products. When I go home next weekend I'm going to live in the beauty supply store.

I also recently made a lot of purchases of organic and natural up-keep and cleansing products.

for a total of about $40 I got:

• rosewater
• glycerin
• essential oils of peppermint
• essential oils of lavender
• jojoba oil
• biotin capsules
• aloe vera juice
• soap nuts

I just have to get a measuring container thingee (wow my descriptive English is terrible) for the soap nut liquid, and a spray bottle for my other mixture.

I ordered everything a few days ago, so I hope everything gets here early next week.

Ok I think this post is long enough, so... bye.

2010!!!

Whoa. I haven't posted since the end of November. I have been busy with school and more difficult classes, the CurlyNikki forum, Tumblr, and other forums and blogs. The last couple posts I did were just copy paste from the CN forum.

I think I need to post more which will help/force me to pay more attention to me hair. I will probably update this with my hair progress within the next week.
