Advice to Transitioners

Going natural is definitely trending,  having been on this journey for the past year and a half  I believe I have some insight that may be helpful.The first and most valuable lesson I have learnt is have a plan.If you want to go natural know exactly what you are going to do with your hair.That can be  anything ,from getting braids ,doing the big chop ect, I failed on my first attempt because I just didn't know what to do to my hair.
Secondly you cannot use every single product,slow and steady wins the race.If you decide to grow your hair out your priority will not be curls or length at first. Healthy hair should be your goal as a result your focus should not be on styling rather you should try to focus on creating and maintaining a routine.This routine first must be about the process wash ,deep condition and moisturize. Once you've formulated a routine you can then seek products to assist.

Afro's And Neon

 To think that  not too long ago I could not understand why people wore shift dress. I stand her today telling you that this dress made me a convert(thanks sis).I had no intention of  blogging this outfit but based on the response I decided to. I felt very 70's the curly fro ,neon shift dress and the bright clutch really finished off this  look.A shift dress is perfect for those days when its quite hot and you rather wear something thats not clingy (everyday here).I find that they are perfect  when you are in a hurry this one in particular comes with a faux necklace, ready to go.

Transitioning Journey Part 3

Perm rod set (last weekend)

In October 2014 I started using a few products to assist with my transitioning Journey , Today  I wanted to give a bit of an update on  my journey.  I stuck with majority of the products used at the beginning ,with the exception of my shampoo &  conditioners. I loved the Shea moisture transitioning kit, however, I want to try different shampoos and conditioners mainly to see what suits me best. I decided to try out TRESemme to find out what all the buzz was about and for  deep conditioner Queen Helen and Organic's (I read good reviews and they are both very reasonable) .This is actually my second or third time using the hair mayonnaise from  organics , my initial experience  was  back in high school . I chose  the TRESemme  climate control conditioner .

The decathlon called life

So  the first half of 2015 has come and gone.Where are you now? I hope you  are still working toward those goals you made at the beginning of the year . If  not.... why? Even if you dropped off you can get back up.The last couple of months have been rough for me ,many disappointment but still I press.I want this post to   encourage someone to get up an keep going. Anything worth having  will not come easy. I like to view obstacles as preparation for the future.For me life is a decathlon, the only difference is that we are not sure what test we will get, like a goody bag of challenges, our challenges  I like to think are tied to our goals and personalities. In that if you are impatient you will be tested to help you improve that. But I encourage you remain committed to your goals after all aren't you the one who  set those goals. If you want good you nose affi run a Jamaican proverb that simply means that success demands hard work. Strive to be disciple , remain focus and prioritise. What may seem like the best option today may not be the best thing in the long run. Don't be short sighted.with that I wish you all a productive week.
