I know it's been awhile since I posted a hair update, but I've been busy getting A NEW JOB, moving and winning awards (wink. wink.)!! I'll be moving to Fort Myers, Florida soon for a new reporter position, which I'm really excited about. It will be a big change for a Midwestern girl like myself, especially for my hair. I expect there will be plenty of updates about how the humidity treats my natural tresses. Well, in the meantime, during this holiday season, I "allowed" my mom to put a pressing comb to my hair for my yearly length check. Check out the photos below:
Dec. 2011
Aug. 2009 (I received my last relaxer July '09)
Sept. 2010 (I officially finished transitioning in April this year.)
Finally, I wanted to add a point about using heat/straightening/pressing my hair out. I'm a huge proponent of the no-heat natural movement. Because of this, I typically only straighten my hair once a year (since going natural, although I've done this twice this year due to vacationing). When I do choose to straighten, I make sure I use a product that protects my strains. For my most recent pressing, my mom purchased Isoplus Pressing Silk Oil with Aloe Vera. The ingredients were not the best (petolatum was the first ingredient), but it did help in the process).
In the past, I've used Fantasia IC Hair Polisher Heat Protector Straightening Serum. However, it also doesn't have the best ingredients and is full of cones (Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethiconol).
