Hair One ...OMG!!

So good! My hair soaked this up as I used it to moisturize my hair before putting it in a bun!


I bought a big bottle of the Hair One for color treated hair because it has jojoba oil added.

Only £5.99 and what an investment! So good, I thought about running out to get another one even though it would be a 30-40 minute journey to the BSS (at least 20mins of it on foot)!!!

So, it was creamy when I squirted a bit from the pump but it goes on SMOOTH. And it does not overwhelm the hair and make it limp and wet. Just moisturized and melted away the tangles. It is great!

Have you tried this or WEN (which it is based on) and how have you found this as a cleanser or leave-in conditioner?

Wow....I'm Transitioning!!!! (MUST READ!!!)

I've decided in this past week that there is no better time than the present to start transitioning to natural!

After all, I won't be using heat this year and I plan to stretch texlaxes so why not see what my natural hair looks like?

Thanks to Sunshyne and other Youtubers, i've learnt how to bun and keep my hair flat and smooth yet soft with the scarf method and airdrying. I also would like ALOT more thickness when I do twistouts and braidouts (right to the ends),

Futhermore, I have been relaxed (in some shape or form) since I was 6 years old. This August would make 20 years relaxed, lets give the natural me a chance.
I'll be honest, I love me some texlaxed hair. (I haven't loved my hair this much in years - the cute way a child loves her hair!!!). However, I LOVE the thickness my new growth has and I have been stalking fotkis and youtube for inspiration. I also ordered two natural haircare books (I'm a reader too - lol ): "Going Natural" and "Thank God I'm Natural".

I intend to transition for 2 years minimum like this lovely lady: http://members.fotki.com/lifesacatwalk/about/
No Big Chop for me, just dusting and length checks without heat (stretching hair!)
I'm so excited to be embarking on this new leg of my journey using no heat styling a la Bronzeg (shout out to you, girl!)

Well, enough rambling! Wish me luck, ladies!
