Found something that works

I have finally found a style that works with my hair very well. Bantu knots!!!!!!!!!!!!! These knots have made my transitioning phase so much easier. Together with the shea butter and coconut oil these knots leave my hair looking like I am already natural. I am sooooo happy now I just have to set a goal for when I will cut off my permed ends. I am not sure what length I want to do that yet, but thankfully I have a long while to decide that. I am also trying to decide on whether or not I stop combing my hair with an actual comb or start just using my hand, outside of when I wash my hair. Decisions...decisions.

Figuring things out

I have finally figured out some products my hair likes. I am 5 months post my last relaxer, and I am managing even better now because of the products I have already had but have not used together. I have always used coconut oil in my hair as a deep conditioner, never usually in styling because I have a fear going out in the cold and having it all harden in my hair. But since I don't go out much I decided to put some in my hair and seal it with shea butter; which I usually just use on my skin. These two together have really changed things in my washes and day to day hair care. My hair is softer and I don't have that soft feel but dry look. I am so happy for some progress, because the leave-in conditioner was not cutting it at all.
