Natural hair: night time routine

Straight, flat ironed natural hair

I've decided to flat iron my hair yesterday !I was not sure how it would come out, since this is actually my first time ever in my natural hair journey, to straighten my whole head. I hair is not as thick as i would wish it to be , but the result was pretty decent though. I also cut of a significant amount , due to see through ends i had and split. I wanted to have some layers as well, to give it a nice look. I first DEEP CONDITIONED my hair ( it was about time) and then went on to shampoo it and finally conditioning again.I will later on post the video of me doing the whole process;
I LOVE how it came it out...for it being the first time;)

protective styles

I've been wearing protective styles for a little over 6 months now. That includes box braids, the outré vanessa half wig I wore for about 2 months and my self made U- Part wig. Wearing wigs are a very convenient way for me to protect my hair but at the same time I am able to take care of it , as opposed to having a sew-in or weave. Though I have to admit that I was a bit apprehensive about the idea of wearing wigs , since this was actually my first time ever I had purchased one.

update

Update 2012

I have totally abandoned this blog and thought i would have a new, fresh start . So this is basically me now(2 years later) wearing my natural hair out, after having had protective styles for about 6 months.
