I'm Natural! Big Chop Results

Image
Alright...Alright...Alright....I know it took me two days to do it...but I DID! Here is the video of my Big Chop Results. Included in the Video: Texture Shots Dry Hair Photos Wet Hair Photos Dry Combed Out Photos My First Natural Hair Style Photos Hair Twisted Immediately After The Chop (Disaster) However, just to clear things up....the twist out was a terrible...terrible...LOOK...a least for me. There was no GAT DOG on way I would ever leave the house let alone.....the internet check that mess out. lol Hence why I did not show the results. However, I used WATER...MOISTURIZER...& Eco Styler Gel for my final look. My hair to my surprise would actually curl up on its own when it was moist. The gel helped to greatly reduce the amount of frizz in my hair. I apply those products....which I can share on a later post...and separate the hair and it curled up on its own from there. I actually love this style because it reminds me of my FAVORITE style.."BANTU KN...

I had to Clip more hair aside from the first video I posted! So I twisted my hair and began to snip again....YES...I am scissor happy.lol Yes...I LOVE my Hair and YES....my next video will be my hair results! http://youtu.be/-nVoWcqxBII  <--------------------- Here is the link until I can place the actual video from youtube here! Thanks for watching, -Kamitinae ; p These ends had to be clipped of course! I basically have been clipping the remaining pieces of perm left over as I seem them. Bit more time consuming than I thought. I could of posted so many videos of me doing that. BUT to save the mundane scissor happy hands...I just gave you guys 2.lol Anyone out there transitioning or still trying to decide on what to do? I was pleasantly surprised and super excited by the amount of hair that grew over the year span. I am LOVING IT. -KamiTinae

My mom just cut the rest of her perm off today!!! Yay! So happy for her BUT it makes me soooo ready to do mines. Her hair is way more curlier than I expected....it's so beautiful! I will post her video soon. (4gradesnatural) However, I put bantu knots in my hair tonight and accidentally left a piece out. Sooooo you already know what I did....yes I cut it!!! I wanted to see how long my hair has grown in a year....my natural hair. To my surprise it grew a little over 6 inches for the year yay! Thats a half inch every month which is a normal growth rate. My hair looks super short until you stretch it out. Watch me Grow!

1Yr Transitioning..Length Check...& my hair Texture

Hello My NATURALS AND TRANSITIONERS!!! I have been transitioning from my permed hair to natural hair for a year now! Most of my transition I didn't notice because it was not an active choice because I had NO idea I wanted to be natural! But I am so glad I made the decision and would never and will never go back!  I have cute my hair...bantu knotted it...twisted it...braided it...but NO flat ironing. I have not straightened my hair in at least 6 months. Quite frankly it is not difficult to refrain from heat styles. I love my hair and have learned how to manipulate it. Watch out for my video soon....It will be uploaded on ANNOINTMYHAIR36 very shortly. Check this post I will post it here. I have various textures...some spiral...some wavy...some zzz...oh goodness.lol

Mini Chop Hair Results

Image
Not too long ago I cut about 3-4 inches of my hair off. I was a little afraid of how to handle my hair at first after the chop. However, omg I did bantu knots on my hair immediately and BOOM I was like heeeeeeeeeeey.lol I was really feeling my curly afro. I love my hair and I am so happy with my transition thus far. You should be able to see how my hair turned out in this video. And the explanation of why my hair is gold on the top ;p. But um comments...questions...concerns? Hit me up! And omg I have been using grapeseed oil in my hair as of lately along with my family....and guess what my hair is soooo SOFT LOVE IT! Bought a HUGE Bottle too. lol Olive & Grape Seed Extra Moisturizing Shampoo - 11 fl oz (Google Affiliate Ad) -Kamitinae

VDAY VIDEO Bohemian Hairstyle

Image
OMG....Valentines Day is just a few days away! My family page  http://www.youtube.com/user/4GradesNatural   has been doing Valentines Day hairstyles for natural, transitioning, etc, hair all week! However, I just uploaded a Vday hair special behind the scenes from the up-do my mother gave me.    I love big, wild, edgy hair so she gave me something a little different. I like to call it my bohemian up-do ; ) However, as you all know I just cut 3- inches of hair off so I was not sure how COOL of a hairstyle I could actually get. lol Omg why would I think my mom would have issues with my new hair. Cause you know what she ROCKED IT! And guess what I can wear this for a few days later! Omg what would we do without protective styling! Braids, twists, two strand twists, and bantu knots were all used to achieve this look. But don't worry it sounds more complicated than it actually is. haha But anyway, I hope you all have a wonderful Valentines with your loved ones! -xoxo...

Video:Transitioning Hair Trail

Image
Alright everyone I decided to do this video on my past 9 months of hair transitioning. I do NOT plan on doing a big chop.....I think. I want my natural hair to reach my shoulders in its shrinkage state before I cut it all off. I shall call it my safe and mini chop.lol However, I want to say that I have NEVER had issues with my relaxed hair. I have never experienced any damaged hair...or severe breakage.  I basically started this journey because I want my natural thick hair back. I want the beautiful twists and twist outs..braid outs...bantu knots...etc. My hair is super thick and until now I forgot what my real hair actually looks like.  However, I am excited to be entering my 10th month of transitioning soon and then a year! This video is a just a small trail of my journey! Anyone else journeying out there!?!?! =) Babyliss Pro Black Carrera Hair Dryer (Google Affiliate Ad)
