Where I'm Going with my Hair

I figure winter is a good time to let my hair grow out. I need the extra warmth. Nothing is more chilly than a fresh cut in winter!

A while back, I learned about Miss Jessie's Curly Pudding, a hair creme that defines curls (without chemicals). I checked out the price too and let's just say, it's way out of my league at $3.50 per ounce. Then, while on Nappturality, I stumbled upon a homemade recipe for a curly pudding. I thought I had saved it somewhere but alas, this morning when I searched for it on my hard-drive, nothing came up. I did a Google search and eventually landed at the site I linked above (and made sure to *really* save the recipe this time). The recipe seems simple enough and I can easily obtain all the ingredients at my local beauty store.

I'm hoping that by the end of winter, I will have enough growth to use it and see what it looks like.

I'm trying to go natural and I've been using Karen's Body Beautiful. It's a bit spendy, but a little goes a long way. It makes my hair feel great. I'm debating about doing the big chop to start anew. Well, since it's the new year it's a great time to start. Also check out Long Hair Forum for some cheap hair care recipes.

When I went natural the last time, I found shescentit.com. There are great natural hair and body care products there. It's a lil pricey too, but works great as well. *I promise I'm not working for them lol*. I'm also on Long Hair Care Forum and they have pretty good hair recipes there also.

Good luck on your hair journey!

You know I've been planning on cutting my locs and going "loose" natural for a while now. I have stopped twisting my hair and started using some new products on the new growth. I will let you know how it goes.

My tentative "big chop" date is March 20th for the Spring Equinox. That's if I lose enough weight to feel comfortable with less hair!
