Hair Journey month May & June 2014

Hi Everyone

Welcome to my Blog!  Very new to this hopefully I will get the gist of it!  Anyway, a little about myself and why the natural hair journey.

I am a native of Kenya currently living in The Netherlands.  I started my serious natural hair journey in January 2014.  I did not do a big chop as I already had natural hair, however I had no clue on what to do or how to take care of it.  My routine would be wash it with harsh shampoos, put conditioner, then blow dry and flat iron!!!  Even though my hair was natural, i did do the Brazilian blow out and we all know what that means!!  Basically my hair was fried for a year!!! ooooh the thought of that gives me the shivers..  Anyhow as from January 2014, i put the flat irons away and did as much research as I could find on the net and youtube.  Found some lovely natural hair ladies, who i would like to give a shout out to and thanks to, Naptural85, Curlynikkic Charygray and many many more.  Through these ladies I have gained a lot of knowledge and have applied most of their advise.  I have decided to start this blog  mainly because even though there is a lot of information and videos on hair journey, i have searched for a more detailed blog or video on a day to day or month to month journey, with trials and tribulations, failed attempts and how they over come them  and could not find one.  So i have decided to do exactly that.

Right now today 29th of May 2014, i am currently testing out shea butter leave in conditioning cream and using Andrelon leave conditioner and for the oil sealants I have mixed castor oil, wheatgerm oil and coconut oil, i will also use these oils for hot oil treatment.  For the butter mix, i will again be using my own mixed butter made of shea butter, coconut oil, olive oil and avocado oil.   For May and June, my routine will involve bi monthly co washing with homemade ACV (apple cider vinegar).  The last two weeks of June I will put on a protective style. short Senegalese twists made from Marley hair.

I will update at the end of the second month.  Till then ciao!
