Anyway, since my first class starts tomorrow I wanted to post a quick post about my hair. My two year anniversary of my big chop is this August, but I have met my goal I set for this year. I wanted to have bra strap length by my anniversary and I have achieved it almost two months early. I'm very pleased with my growth and retention.
For the past couple of months I have drifted away from my usual WNG's and moved to twist outs because I'm liking my results better now that my hair is longer. I have been using It's Perfectly Natural product to twist up my hair and now I'm loving my twist outs!

| Today's twist out that I wore to church. The interesting thing is that two ladies at church today who hated my TWA told me how much they loved my twist out today. One of them said that my hair was beautiful and asked to touch my curls. Of course I remember that this same lady gave me the stink eye when I stopped relaxing my hair and her look said "that girl is crazy to cut off all her hair" and "natural my foot that girl is nappy!". Now she thinks that my hair is beautiful. Amazing how you get some length and now they have vision and love my curls. Whatever! |
I want to thank everyone who has newly joined my blog! I promise that I will try to get more posts in this summer, but I will be in class, teaching and getting my presentation ready. I do intend to make a post of some of the twist outs I have worn over the past couple of months. Until next time...
Blessings!
He Jen! Welcome back! Omgoodness!Your hair is so pretty and long! Congratulations on competing our lit. review and action research project. That is interesting the lady changed her mind lol.
ReplyDeleteGood to see you also. Your hair is getting longer!
DeleteGirl!!!! Look at all that hair. Welcome back and all the best with school
ReplyDeleteI am loving your hair.
I am loving that fact that my hair is growing out nicely. Thank you!
Deletewow amazing shrinkage. That's cool!!!
ReplyDeleteI have figured that I have about 50% shrinkage. This always shocks people when I pull my hair out and they see how long my hair really is. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteOMGoodness, Jen your hair looks amazing! So glad you are back. It doesn't seem like its been that long but Wow, I guess it has.
ReplyDeleteHappy to be back! I started my transition in May 2011, so it has been 2 years of my natural journey.
DeleteSo good to see you and wow congrats on the publishing!!! You are super busy and very happy you stopped to take a breather and let us know what's going on. Look at that hair!!! BSL? Wow, you are doing everything right and very proud of you!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I am very busy and will continue to be, but I will try to stop in and visit my favorite blogger friends.
DeleteWoW!!! God bless. It seems your hair just took off like weeds! Amazing. You look so different too.
ReplyDeleteOK I'm going to read your Curlformers post. I like them but we have a like/hate relationship sometimes :-)
Oh, to help those SSKs, oil your hair daily (especially at the base). Use a light oil so it doesn't weigh your hair down. If you notice you still get SSKs regularly, it may be time for a trim
ReplyDeleteThank you for the oil tip. I have been using jojoba oil after I wash, but now I will start this daily. I'm thinking about a dusting after my 2 anniversary just to clean everything up.
Deletewow your hair grows fast and you're doing a good job retaining the length too. You can notice the length difference from your April post.
ReplyDeleteYour twist out also makes your hair texture look different. Congratulations on meeting a BSL in just two years.
Black women like long hair, so it only makes sense the lady at church now likes your hair.
Welcome back and I wish you all the best with the last few months you have left in your studies.
My hair grows about 1/2 inch a month on average. In the summer maybe a little bit more and in the winter or when I'm sick a little bit less. I have noticed that I know am getting neck pain and headaches because of various hair styles (puffs, ponytails, buns...). I'm finding all my naysayers are now loving my hair. Figures.
DeleteHappy, happy, happy to see you and to see you back for a brief check-in. Congratulations on your growth AND retention achievement. That's a whole lot of inspiration. Also, I love the updates on your progress in school . . . all positive and thrilled to know that you are doing so well and will have your work/results published. Excellent.
ReplyDeleteI will be thinking of you on the 19th. Please that my prayers are with you always.
Jazzwife, I tried to get on your page today and visit and was told I had to have special entry. I also, emailed you via your youtube page. Hope all is going well with you and yours.
DeletePeace
Thank you for checking in! I have been following your progress on buying your new house and look forward to you settling soon. I present this week. Pray for me please.
DeleteSO SO HAPPY FOR YOU CONGRATULATION AND YOUR HAIR LOOKS VERY THICK AND SOFT AT TH SAME TIME.
ReplyDeleteIt is thicker and my bald spot is shrinking. Thank you.

ReplyDeleteJen,
ReplyDeleteBest wishes and prayers to you on the 19th!!! Please, let us know how it goes when you get a chance. Also, your hair has really grown. It looks beautiful and healthy. My beautician told me I need to start using a curling product even though, her words, your hair is already curly...I'm confused, so I am sticking to my very streamlined routine of natural oils, and if I use a gel it is typically Kiss My Face gel (all natural).
Anyway, keep us posted.
Peace
I find that just a conditioner works well in defining my curls. Now that it is humid I will use gel to hold the curl in the hot weather. Your beautician sounds like she just wants you to buy more products which you don't need.
DeleteYour hair has grown so well. I love it and you look great. Planning my comeback...Just have to find my mojo.LOL
