Texturizers????

Before I went natural, I wanted to try a texturizer because I was under the DUMB impression that it would make my relaxed hair curly. LOL....I was soon corrected.

Well...now that I AM natural, and I know what a texturizer actually does, I kinda want to try it...

But I'm on the fence because I know it's a chemical...and being natural is supposed to mean free of chemical products (hence the word NATURAL).

But I just want to see what it does to my texture...like if it will soften it up or whatever.

Any thoughts?????

First off, I wanna start off by saying that Shirai has officially quit on me…she got a perm. SMH...

Anyway…I was just on “vacation” in New York and I was staying with my aunt (who is ALSO a natural). And she introduced me to some new products. I’d heard of Miss Jessie’s™ before but I had never tried it. I didn’t even know where to get it. Anyway, my aunt uses the Curly Pudding®, the Curly Meringue®, and the Curly Buttercream®.


She let me try some of the Curly Buttercream® first and let me tell you…it’s FABULOUS!! It’s made with a cooling peppermint essence so it tingles once you put it on and it feels GREAT! It’s supposed to be good for 2 Strand Twists, Pony Puffs, Braids, Hairline Grooming Creme, Short Naturals and Fades, Growing out Natural Hair.

Then she let me try the Curly Pudding®, which I had heard a lot about and actually DID want to try. This stuff was really good too. I only tried it on a small portion of my hair and it made my curls pop! J The Curly Pudding® is supposed to transform kinks to curls…which it DOES.

She gave me her Curly Meringue® because she said it’s supposed to pretty much do the same thing as the Curly Pudding® and she didn’t need both. But I haven’t tried that yet. It’s supposed to be good for Fingerstyling, 2 Strand Twists, Spiral Rod Sets, Relaxed Hair seeking curly styling and Transitioners, Silkeners and Texturizers.

Yesterday I ordered my own Curly Buttercream® and Curly Pudding®. I got the smallest sizes since I don’t have much hair anyway.

So…so far I like these products. A lot of people probably wouldn’t use a few of these because they DO have parabens. But right now I’m not worried about that. I’m just trying to find something that works for my hair and this stuff does.

That's all for now!

BIG CHOP!!!

I have to mark down 8/17/09 as the day I did my BC!
Am I happy about it? Eh...

Do I like it? Not right now...

I dont like it cuz my curl pattern hasn't developed yet...I mean IF I'm even going to have one. But I'll be patient...I knew it was gonna take time.

Yesterday I went to Sephora and bought some Carol's Daughter essentials. I got the Khoret Amen Leave-In Conditioner and the Hair Milk. The leave-in is good as a refresher during the day when your hair feels dry (so I've heard).

So here's how it looked right before I cut it. I tried to get a pic of the length...but I forgot to take a pic before I washed it...

And here is the back after I cut it...hence the hair laying on the bottom of my neck LOL. The back has more curl than the rest of my head....
This is day 2...not much difference but ...whatev

And here is the transition style I've been wearing the past 2 days since I don't really like my TWA right now...

Well that's about it....until next time...
