Rod Set With Pompadour Video Tutorial

Here’s a video of how I rod set my transitioning hair. I typically like to style the top and sides of my hair in twists or some kind of up-do because I won’t have to worry about smashing the curls while I sleep.  (I’m a side sleeper.)  It helps the style last longer. As you’ll […]

5 Month Transition Update

I’ve made it to the 5 month mark and things are going well. I think I’ve trimmed most (if not all) the damaged ends now and can start letting my hair gain length again.  Almost all my relaxed ends are gone and I’m just left with the texturized hair that got semi-straight in some areas […]

A Video Tribute to My Relaxer Damage

It seems almost every transitioning YouTuber creates at least one video with a collage of pictures that illustrate damage from their relaxer days.   It’s my turn now.  Enjoy… Reading this via e-mail? Click to view the video on my blog.

4 Month Update – See My Hair Texture!

Well, I made it to month 4 and I’m still not tired of transitioning.  It will be interesting to see how long before I get the itch to cut the relaxer off. Anywho, here’s a video showing my hair texture.  Keep in mind, I haven’t had a relaxer in 13 months and a texturizer in […]

Here’s a video that addresses some methods that help keep my hair moisturized and free from breakage while I transition. If […]

Two Strand Twist Out on Transitioning Hair

Here are the results of my first two strand twist out on my 3 month transitioning hair. It took me several days to get this right because of my relaxed ends, but the end result turned out OK. As you’ll see in the video below, it’s important to trim your ends if they are broken […]

Three Month Transition Length Check

I’ve been transitioning for three months and here is a progress update. I haven’t had a relaxer in 12 months and a texturizer in 3 months. Even though I texturized for 7 months, it did not take very well so after cutting 2 more inches, the back of my hair from the ears down is […]

Kinky Curly Come Clean Shampoo & Knot Today Conditioner

I have a new favorite shampoo/conditioner combo. Today I tried Kinky Curly’s Come Clean Shampoo and their Knot Today Conditioner. Both products are all natural and smell very nice. I had very little breakage when I combed my wet hair out, and I am 2 1/2 months post relaxer/texturizer. Normally my hair breaks a lot […]
