OMG

I know I've been MIA these past few days. What a bad transitioning-to-natural hair blogger I am. Tsk tsk. I'm still on the wagon--not to worry. As a matter of fact, I have a little story to tell today. You see, today is the first day of classes, so last night I kinda took it back to the old school and got myself ready for the big day like everybody's momma used to do when we were in elementary school. Don't act like you don't remember getting your hair done Sunday night and having a stocking cap (or a clean pair of underwear in a pinch) slapped on your head to maintain that 'do for as much of the week as possible. Oh, I'm the only one? No, I am not. My momma did the same thing to my kid sister. Hahaha.

Last night was deep condition night, so I co-washed with the Tea Tree Tingle conditioner then I did something a little different. I never intended on becoming a mix master, but I decided to add a spoonful of olive oil and honey to my Nourish Spa conditioner to up the moisturizing ante. Wow.

That mixture sat on my hair for about 45 minutes and proceeded to make sweet, tender love to my curls. So much so that I was tempted to go crazy, grab a pair of scissors and set my kinky coils FREE!!! That mixture will be my weekly deep condition treatment from now on. One last shot of the back (which is not very clear). I look at these two photos and am convinced I have at least two textures on my head. Great!

This does not in any way quell my desire to cut it all off and keep my fingertips gently atop every kink, coil and curl I find in there. Sheesh! Pray for my strength.
