BACK TO BLACK PICS, HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
************************************************************************
I started this journey with relaxed hair, I used products form a website called Sizta2sizta.com, after 4 months of stretching I realized my hair was breaking off like crazy, but I also noticed my curly roots! That was when I decided to go natural. I love the way my newgrowth looked and I loved the strength of my natural hair. The more it grew the more I wanted to see. I wanted to transition for a year, but that turned into 10 months. My journey now begins. Come along for the ride!


"Type 3a and 3b hair has a definite "S" pattern to it which is usually fine textured and soft. It does not have as much
shine as Type 1 or 2 hair, but it does have a lot of natural body. When this hair type is wet, it straightens out, but then
draws up into a curlier state as it dries. "

I read this in disbeleif, my hair is this all the way. I was always told in my family "Oh you have "good hair". And my original stylist used to tell me that I really should be getting a realxer every six months. Because I was so brainwashed that I "NEED" a relaxer every 8-10 weeks, I really damaged my hair chemically.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
UPDATE: My hair type 3b front patch and back lower patch,3c around the sides and middle, with 4a patch in the middle. I know, I have a head full of textures. So happy to know that now!

Regiment:
COWASH: every 7 days (Pantene ProV Hydra Curls conditioner, GREAT stuff)
WASH: once a MONTH (Pantene ProV Hydra Curls shampoo)
DC: Miss Jessies reconstructive DC
I am a HUGE fan of wash n go's. I really have not tried any other styles yet.
**********************************************
I do take vitamins (multivitamin and biotin for hair) and drink water religiously.

***UPDATE****
I stopped using Biotin, one of the side effects is acne, and I was breaking out religiously no matter what I used. Once I stopped using it I noticed my skin is very clear. I am acne prone so this is not good for me. Ladies please read up on this info, I have been using this for years, and I never knew.
