Oversized Trench Coat

So this natural hair journey has been an interesting one. For lack of a better adjective. My most frustrating part about this process is the dryness. I almost gave in the other day and go get a perm.



I co wash(no shampoo. just my conditioner) almost everyday). I know that using the eco styler gel can cause dryness. I dont know if the Care and Curl Curl activator is also contributing to the dryness but I stopped using it over the weekend.


I think that actually worked. My hair didnt get dry too quickly and I could feel the difference eliminating the curl activator.


I guess its a learning process. My hair seems unkempt in these pictures. Not to worry that was intentional lol.After I wash my hair I use a brush to make it more messy by rubbing the brush in circles all over my hair creating the messy look you see here. What do you think?



You can tell the sun was hurting my eyes. I should have worn the shades I brought. Oh well.

I think you look fabulous. A word of caution...avoid products that contact alcohol and glycerin. Just like in soap, hair products containing these 2 chemicals are very drying.

I'm not natural anymore but your hair look FABULOUS!!! I was natural my entire life until college. It can be frustrating at times.
