So I get it washed, blow-dryed, pressed, then flat iron and curled. It's a lot of heat I know, but it seemed like my hair was fine. My hair is naturally full and thick, but then I noticed over the years that my hair would smell like it was burned after I left the shop and then I have sooo much shedding. I thought as long as I was not getting it permed and I was getting a deep conditioner at the shop it was all good. But then i started to realize that my hair is not as healthy as i thought it was. I've been wanting to go natural for years, but didn't know how. Now there's so much info on the net and on the blogs, yet I don't know where to start. It's like info overload, lol.<br /><br />usually when i wanted to wear it natural between salon visits i would wash and condition, then use kinky curly and just blow dry on cool so i wouldn't have soaking wet hair, but i end up with jherri curl looking hair and one side is always flat and not as curly as the other side.<br /><br />Timeisha<br />urbanglamgyrl.onsugar.comUrbanGlamGyrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13826237023127791550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6619950971211244776.post-73101091388506656422010-05-04T09:23:23.739-07:002010-05-04T09:23:23.739-07:00@hypnotic Thank you!

I think the boots dress it up a little more.<br /><br />@Loclove Thank you very much :-)<br /><br />@SEWING STARDOM I did!!! You know I have you to thank for that!<br /><br />@Seygra20 Thank you, the food was pretty good. <br /><br />@UrbanGlamGyrl LOLL! I want to go to San Diego too, I hear they have some nice places to thrift as well. - What products are you using? And I would suggest shampooing, conditioning, and detangling in sections. It cuts down on the breakage and matting. - Also using a good leave in [I like Paul Mitchell The Conditioner], and a good curl cream to braid the hair with [I like Komaza Coconut Curl Cream] can really make all the difference. <br /><br />@Deys Thank you for stopping by! I braid my hair into 10 individual braids [I do this on wet hair], then I roll the ends of the braids with small rollers. I let my hair dry overnight, take down the braids, and separate the waves. <br /><br />@Dari LOLLLLLL Thank you!! And I have been trying like heck to find out the name of the boots [it doesn't have a sticker on the bottom] but for the life of me, I can't find these boots anywhere online :-\<br /><br />@Renee Thank you very much :-)<br /><br />@Becca Thank you very much; I will check out your blog as well :-0<br /><br />@simplychic Thank you!!! <br /><br />@Jacinte LOLL Hee heee!
