Do blondes really have more fun?
So I randomly decided to dye my hair blonde. I know I'm always changing my hair. This is my second time getting blonde highlights, and I think it's a great look for the summer. But when adding color I have to make sure I keep my hair thoroughly moisturized. I'm still getting used to the new color. I also tried Carol's Daughter's Hair Milk on my coils and my hair loved it. Check out my new do below!
Weekend Recap
This past weekend I finally did the big chop! My hair is all natural! I'm still getting used to the new look but I'm so happy my hair will be much healthier, and I'm learning that I'm not as attached to my hair as I thought I would be.
2. Friday, I caught up with JMU friends at a holiday party, and Saturday I went to the company Christmas party at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse in DC. The steak was amazing as usual. Ruth's Chris has THE best steak. It always exceeds my expectations. The open bar made all of my co-workers extra jolly so it turned out to be a fun night!

kinky roots
It has been one year since I decided to embark on this journey to natural hair. It has not been easy and I still have a few more inches of relaxed hair to grow out. I've been trimming my hair each time I go to the salon. I've contemplated the big chop, but I still enjoy the versatility of having the length of my hair. I miss my long tresses! I miss throwing my hair into a ponytail on days I don't feel like doing my hair. However, I love how much more healthier my hair is now, and I enjoy the versatility of going from kinky to straight when I want to, without using chemicals. I got Senegalese twists this summer as a protective style this past summer, which was the first time I ever had weave braided into my hair. I am very tender headed so I did not enjoy sitting for 8 hours, but I was happy with the results! I enjoyed the new look, but I quickly got bored with my new hairstyle. I'm still growing to love my kinky roots even though I hate the shrinkage when it's wet. Beautiful hair comes in all forms: kinky, straight, curly, nappy, coiled, and every other texture under the sun, so I will gladly continue this journey. :)
