Update : My HEALTH and CONFIDENCE journey.

Hey kinks and coils 💜


I have a TWA now and I didn't even upload an update , how rude !

Anyhow I have mentioned in a previous post that it is liberating.

I am now on a health and confidence journey. My hair thrives when it is moisturized and left alone. I don't want to stretch it because I love seeing my little coils pop up whenever I moisturise.

I don't want to be self conscious whenever my hair is all coiled up and short  if I start feeling self conscious about my TWA I will cut my hair again untill I become comfortable in every stage I am in my journey.

I love going to bed and not retwisting. Woooo heaven 😊.
And waking up and spritzing my hair and sealing in the moisture and then I am OUT no fluffing , no  piking nah nah.. It's the ultimate wash and go.  I am a lazy natural so I think I will always cut my hair and rock a cute little TWA .

However I am not going to lie when I big chopped it wasn't all peaches and cream , I was a bit self conscious , but on the third day when my TWA had formed a specific shape I fell inlove with my hair all over again!

My hair needs have changed because it's now a little baby and I have to see what works for it but my hair doesn't give me a hard time , it just loves water and a good oil . What is surprising is that I retain a lot of moisture when I use a light leave in conditioner , when my hair was long it reacted amazingly well to thick leave ins , thick leave - in conditioners make my hair super hard and it also makes my hair super rough. I really don't know why.

I want to try out a few styles like finger coils , wash and go and so on but I have to go on Google and Youtube to check out any hair styles for TWAs and if I find any , I will let you know.

Anyway this was just a quick post I wanted to share with you .I have tons of articles that I have to upload but my schedule is kinda crazy.
I wrote this with one eye open at like 12 o' clock in bed. The struggle 😔

I'll probably attempt a wash and go in Summer.

This post is kinda long for someone who should be dozing off by now.

Hello?

I hope there are still people outchea because I have been M. I. A but I promise that I have a good excuse : I'm in university now! 2017 was my gap year and that is why I could keep up with my weekly uploads but now that everything has been switched up and a lot has happened in a short space of time like emotional, financial, mental, physical stress and a little bit of drama 🙄. I had to take a digital cleanse and concentrate on some other things because they required most of my time and attention. I had to move to the North West and I had to adapt to the location, language, weather and a new schedule and I literally had no time to do anything besides study and do all my chores.  One thing that has drastically changed is the way I handle my finances. My disposable income is next to nothing because I have so many expenses and I have to cut corners in my natural hair regimen in order to keep my sanity and money and I figured that I'm not the only student going through this ...

How I Trim My Natural Hair

Image
If you follow me on  Instagram then you have probably seen that I have been rocking a mini puff and I'm excited that my hair is growing like a weed but I have to pull myself back and remind myself that I need a trim. As much as I love my current length I also have to trim my hair because a delayed trim can make me go back to a TWA in a matter of minutes because I would have to cut the damage that traveled all the way up my strands and so to avoid that I need to trim. Oh by the way, my hair is in the awkward stage and I have been incorporating a couple of protective styles. There are a few ways to trim your natural hair. I used two methods that are quite popular. I make sure to detangle small sections and I used : Spritz bottle Leave in conditioner Detangle brush Pik .. After detangling a section I spritz some water on my hair and apply a bit of leave in conditioner and rake it through my fingers and then I use my detangling brush to further detangle. I lost ...

Update : My Health And Confidence Journey + Going Vegan

Happy new year beautiful people , I know I'm late but I hope it still counts. A few days ago I made my way to the gym and I just felt strange , like I was lacking something  , I'm pretty sure you know that feeling , it's that feeling when it feels like you the only person noticing the change and everyone doesn't see anything and you go around asking people "do you see it though" , that is exactly how I felt a couple of days ago. I made my way to the gym and after my workout I took a warm steamy shower and I felt uneasy when I saw my shadow. I looked a bit closer and questioned myself like : " could it be ? " and I looked a bit closer and I finally found why I felt peculiar that day . My thighs aren't touching anymore , they touch just a little near my pelvic area though , and my muffin top is getting smaller. I also couldn't believe it. All that hard work is finally paying off. I have also noticed a difference in my back and my ri...

Let's Talk About My Naps + Searching For My Staple Products.

A couple of days ago I was compiling a topic list and as I was going through it , I realized that I have all these topics where I share my views and recommendations but you really don't know much about my hair and I have a natural hair blog 😳 . . . Oh well , today I took out the time to talk about my naps and I figured that this would be important if you are wondering what my hair texture is and if our hair would react differently/similar to certain products. The most important thing is probably texture so I have multiple textures on my head. I have only described my hair as coily and that doesn't really tell you much because some people with looser textures describe their hair as coily. So my hair is : 3c at the nape / maybe my coils are a little looser there. I have cut a couple of curls back there because I thought that it was heat damage . I'm still not sure if my coils are a  looser 4b coil or they are actually 3c. I'm on the fence about this. 4a at the b...
