My Big Chop

By -
As noted before, I am too afraid to do the "BIG CHOP", so I decided to cut a little at a time. By now, I have about 3 inches of new growth, and decided to stop putting heat in my hair.
I have been rocking the Bantu Knot Out for about a month now. It is a lot more maintenance than expectected. I started out knotting them about every two days, then said what they hey, embrace my big hair lol. Now, I knot it once a week and gradually let it turn into a curly fro. Yesterday, I cut off about an half an inch of my hair. Its not that noticable in curls. Figure, if I keep the curls, cutting my hair won't be so devestating. Keep you all posted!

History of the Relaxer

I was tired of my hair breaking and not growing to its fullest potential, split ends, and chemical burns. I wanted my hair to be the way it was intended to be.

Rose Water and Glycerin Mix

 Source  I ran out of my rosewater and glycerin pre-mixed spray, so I decided to make my own this time. I purchased Frontier vegetable glycerin and Alwadi rosewater. I used a 4 oz. bottle, put 2 parts rosewater, 1 part aloe vera juice, and about 1 tbs. of glycerin. If you plan to try it, you can play around and do variations to find what does well with your coils. Do not use too much glycerin unless you want sticky hair! Be sure to refrigerate afterwards. This spritzer is a great way to add moisture to your hair between washes. Today I am using it to do dry twists. If you try it, come back and let me know how it worked out for you and your recipe used! Glycerin is great for your hair because it attracts water and water=moisture. Rose water increases bloodflow to the scalp, which promotes hair growth.
