I love my various textures; from twa, to big hair don't care, to waves on wash day and to my natural curls while deep in a stretch

My texture doesn't allow for WNGs without consequences so my hair is always stretched. I rarely get to see my natural texture. But I love my streched, poofy hair and I can't wait until it gets longer/bigger.

Love my fro with a headband

And without

My "starting to get outta hand" fro

Love my poofy ponytails

My "blowout"

And my "blowout" ponytail

And I absolutely love the minibraids that I wear almost half the year. They allow me to WNG daily w/o consequences.

Beautiful hair ladies!

Once I started to accept my texture for what it is, I began to LOVE it. I know what works and what my hair likes - and doesn't - now. It's taken a long time and many set backs to get here. My hair is finally starting to thrive.

MzSwift your hair is amazing. I want my hair to be like yours when it grows up.

Thanks girl But by the looks of that puff in your avi, you have no reason at all to be jealous!

So my hair is pretty much either in the mini braids I posted or in cornrows under a wig. Once or twice a month I'll wear it out for date/ladies night. But it's back into mini braids or wigs the next day.

I M&S daily, twice a day. All of this time, I've been using ceramide oils to seal (Grapeseed, EVOO, Safflower) and didn't know it.. so I guess I'm a ceramide girl. LoL

Weekly, I cleanse my hair and then DC. I don't wash it loose, though - I do it in either the mini braids or the cornrows. It makes life so much easier. I like to water rinse or cowash daily in the mini braids. I primarily use my hands/fingers to style and detangle.

I'm cheap and I'm selective about what I use in my hair. My staples are: ayurveda powders, Suave Coconut condish, Queen Helene cholesterol deep condish, water and oils. Up until last year, I only used heat once or twice per year. I've just started using heat more often so we'll see how that goes. HTH!

I love my texture. Still trying to figure out how to describe it....lol and I am enjoying the process of growing it out.
