Diary of a Naturalista

pants:american apparel//top & scarf: Vintage
So I am now 1 month month natural and loving it even more. It can be a little more expensive than when I was having my hair relaxed. The biggest reason is because I was still trying to find what works well for my hair. Watching You tube videos has helped quite a bit but not everyone's hair's texture is the same so it can get frustrating and expensive.

Below are some of the products I use:

Shea butter leave in conditioner, olive oil deep contioner and shampoo, pantene conditioner,care and curl curl activator, shea butter oil moisturiser, ic fantasia styling gel, taliah waajid curling pudding

These are just some of the products I have been using continuously for about 2 weeks now. I will not even include all the other trials and errors of the past. I ordered my Ms Jessie curly pudding and still waiting. I hear it works wonders on natural hair. I must add the ic fantasia gel does wonders to my hair. it makes it curly and shiny and i love it.

I think its time for me to do some more protective styles and just enjoy my natural hair journey.

I do agree going natural at first is extremely expensive. My sister was natural for 2 years so I knew what to get. You have some good products. Youtube does help but it also makes you want to go out and buy everything. Can't wait to see your hair in a year.

I guess you can say I'm transitioning. I haven't relaxed my hair since October of 2009 and have approximately 5" of new growth. It can get expensive to establish a routine and determine what's right for you. As for me I was doing natural styles such as twist outs and braid outs until I discovered LFWs. They do miracles for me!
