My mom! WOOOOO!

OMG
Yaaaay! I just did my first hairstyle this weekend! I tried the frohawk as promised. I can't believe my hair is already long enough to do a style. I did it as soon as we got back to the hotel. I cowashed in the shower. I think I'm gonna start detangling in sections under the water now. I used HEHH as my cowash and LI. After I put 3 twists(not 2 strand... I mean cornrow-like twists) on each side of my head, I [attempted to] two strand twisted the rest and put clips on the roots to keep them from unraveling (thanks CurlyNikki!). I sealed my ends with my shea butter that I found(I need to get some more... mine is too yellow for my tastes...) I was to sleepy (and it was too late) to roll up the ends with the straws;I don't know if my hair is long enough for that anyway. LOL, my head looked like I had little doo-doo knots in it! But the result the next morning was... FABO! I got so many compliments! This topped the day that I got two compliments at once b/c of my nails!
I wore it again today. Yep, second-day hair! I had a few haters. there were only 3 people that had something negative to say. I already knew these 3 would.
Nothing else to say for the time being. I gotta get home so I can catch Lincoln Heights!

Almost 3 months!
It's almost my hair's tri-month anniversary of being natural!!!! Wow, it feels like it's been forever! We will be celebrating our anniversary at the practice football field behind the track sweating with the band. What fun... After this Wednesday, after school practices are over with. (Yay!) And this weekend will be our last competition. Tear... I can't believe that after this weekend it's gonna be it for the show... And the seniors... Next year will be my year.
I actually believe I may have enough hair to try a twist and curl! Unfortunately I have no rollers. But I do have straws! So I'll use those. NO not now. I'll wait until either this Saturday or when I come home Sunday.
Okay, I have to rave about my new love. Yes, world, I am in love... with a new deep condish! Well, it's not really new. I've just fallen in love with HSR and HEHH! I think it was meant for the four of us to be together. Whenever I DT with these two, my hair feels so soft and fluffy! But I'm in PM(panic mode) now, b/c I'm almost out of both. I can re-up on HEHH, but not HSR. There isn't a vitamin shoppe here! And I don't have a card to order any! But don't worry. Rae will think of something...
There was a fight at my school the other day. It's kinda sad... both of the girls are younger than me fighting over a guy that's about to graduate. And the girl that won just came back to school from having a baby weeks ago. Today, I saw the guy just posted up on the lockers like it wasn't nothing. Yes, I'm shaking my head right now...
Well, I don't really have much else to say right now.... So I guess I'll be out.
Rae
P.S.- I can't believe I forgot to put this above! I have a prob. Well, as you know, I cowash/wet my hair every morning to get rid of the MM(morning mat). I baggy sometimes too. But I have to baggy my whole head since I'm rocking a TWA right now. All of this is going well, except one thing: it's starting to get really cold down here in Mississippi. So any suggestions to keep me from getting brain freeze are GREATLY appreciated!

The Big One-Eight
Ok... here goes.... WWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooOoOoOooooOOOOOOOOooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Now that I got that out of my system...
I have been natural for over two months!!!! My hair is finally showing signs of growth! And I'm turning 18 this month!!!!! The day before Halloween! The only bad thing is that my birthday is on a Friday and I'm gonna have to go to a football game.
We went to an out-of-state competition in band this weekend. We came in second by, like, .04 (four-hundreths of a point)! That is going to eat away at me... But at least I finally got another purse. It is SOOOO cute! It's a reddish looking color that fades into a sorta sea-green color in spots! It's shiny and it looks like some sorta snake skin or something. It ain't real snake-skin(or it would've been more than $35). I wouldn't have bought it then. I also got a cute yellow jacket from Pink (by VS), and a shirt that would've been over $30 if I hadn't joined their club. So the shirt was just $5. It's got little diamonds in it. Now I need to get me some jeans and shoes to wear with it.
I think sealing is here to stay. My hair feels so much softer when I seal! Sometimes I'll be in class and just find myself pulling at some of my curls in my twa just so they can spring back down. Am I the only one that does that???
I threw out my cantu. I just can't deal with the flakes. So not sexxii! My protein is just going to have to be ORS Replenishing condish....
I don't really have much to write about right now... So I guess I'll go. Bye!

Sigh...
I think I'm in the stage where I feel like my hair isn't doing anything right now.... Not growing, not doing horribly, just nothing.... I'm getting impatient. I want it to GROOOW!!!! It's so frustrating! *BIG LOUD SCREAM HERE*
Oh. Wait. I forgot something...
Happy anniversary hair!!!!
There we go!
The only way it seems I can tell my hair has grown is b/c the shallow spots are now filled in. Wow, it seems like it's been forever.
Products I Like
HE Hello Hydration
Aussie Moist
AO Honeysuckle Rose
ORS Olive Oil Replenishing Conditioner
V05 Moisture Milks Condish (strawberries and creme)
Pantene Brunette Expressions
I haven't really developed a routine yet. I just either cowash or condition daily. Usually in the morning b/c of the Morning Mat. But here's how I use everything:

Whenever I use the Giovanni/Cantu, I always follow up with V05 b/c of the flakes Cantu leaves behind...
This stupid guy at school named "Mark" has given me an annoying nick name- "afro"
Gosh... I'm so tired of high school. I'm ready for college where I can be around mature people.
Well... a bientot!

Comme ci comme ce...(so so...)
Wow, I've almost been NaPpTuRaL for a whole month! I think my hair has grown a little bit. It was a teeny tiny bit shorter when I cut it and after Momma shaped it up for me. Some of the shallower spots don't feel as shallow anymore. I could twist some of my hair if I wanted, but for some odd reason, I just want to wait until it gets longer.

Here comes my absolute most fave natural pic I've ever seen. I aspire to have hair just like this!!!!
My mom said if I let it grow back out, I am going to go through stages. I'm already trying to prepare for this, b/c I'm already starting to see the beginnings of a stage. I used to watch my little brother go through these awkward stages when he thought he wanted to grow his hair out and get braids.
And now it's time to post some more natural hair pictures for inspiration. Just b/c I'm fully natural now doesn't mean I no longer need motivation... I'm gonna need it badly now since I'm growing out...

WOOOoooOOOO
I'm back from the shadows!!!! MUHaHaHaHaaaaa!!!!! Okay, time for me to stop talking crazy...
The library had started closing at 330. I don't get out of school 'til then, so... yea, no internet for me!
The first day of school was very funny. I got a lot of shocked reactions the first few days. One of my friends is making it clear that she does NOT like it. Everytime we pass each other, she hollers out 'Baldy!' I don't even call attention to it. I am far from bald.
I tried baggying to get rid of the 'Morning Mat', but I'm too lazy for that, so I just do morning wash n' goes. I don't too much mess with the proteins that much anymore... they make my hair too hard. I only use proteins once in a while (as long as I'm rinsing them out). Especially ORSRP for DT's. So yea... my hair and Giovanni had a not-so-painful break-up. He's just a 'hit-it-and-quit-it' now, lol (as is Cantu Shea LI. I couldn't deal with the hardness AND the white flakes. SO not attractive)! So the two condishes I alternate as LI's are Aussie Moist and HEHH. I use Suave Moisture milks just to wash out. And when I shampoo once a week, I use J&J No More Tangles Shampoo+Conditioner for curly hair.
I also just (now a few minutes ago) finally ordered some AOHSR! Yaaay! I've heard so many good reviews on this that I can't wait to try it myself!
The bad stuff: The work schedule is WACK. Last week, I only got 3 HOURS! 3! I was supposed to work from 1-5 sat. and 2-5 sun. I got sent home around 3 on both days! And I only have 5 hours scheduled for this week. Mickey D's just isn't doing it for me... Yea, I've asked for more hours before. But there really isn't any point in asking for more now, especially b/c I'm in band and in school. But there are people in school with me that get way more hours than I get... So yea, still looking for a new gig in the work world...
I think the week that just passed has been PMS week. I've been depressed and everything else all last week. But that's over now!
And before I go, I have to tell you that I'm planning on writing a letter to my superintendent. I think that our school should have a dance/step team. Wouldn't that be a great idea??? I already have plenty of reasons. But a few more ideas (and tips on how to write it) from you would be great!
