Dear blog,
In my last blog I had pictures of my hair up. Today I took it down and washed my locks. Throughout this journey I never had a problem with washing and twisting my hair. I didn't have a problem with the timing it took for my hair to lock up because it didn't take long. Naturally I have kinky, nappy hair. Which worked out to my benefit because it only took 8-9months for it to lock. Those aspects I didn't have a problem with. This made my experience easy.
thus far I've only had two issues with this journey. The frizzies (which I mentioned a few blogs ago) and drying my locks. This is a new issue with this journey which I didn't have a problem with in my other journey.
Before I started going natural, I've always had problems drying my hair. Even when I was getting relaxers, I would be in the salon under the dryer for more than an hour and a half just drying my hair. Naturally my hair is really thick and nappy. When I was little combs could hardly get through it.
In my intitial journey I didn't have a problem with drying because it never took long for it to dry up completely. I had one of those dryers that you sit under. Lols I had my own lil salon in my house. And the dryer worked so well that I can wash twist and dry my hair in under 3hrs. 4hrs max. Somewhere along the line my dryer broke :( and I had to use a regular dryer. Which was jus as effective. Sometimes alil faster.
This time was no such case which is why I'm finding it so hard. This set I didn't go from relaxers to dreads like my first set. And this set I don't have the drying tools for my hair. So most of the time my hair air dries and it takes forever! It sucks!!!
Then sometimes it has a foul smell if I leave it that way for too long... It doesn't smell moldy but it just doesn't smell good.. I can't describe it..
Today I washed my locks with a new shampoo.. Suave Naturals. I like it alot.!! I got it on sale at Target for $1.67 (sweet deal!). It leaves a strong fresh scent that I just love!
When I was done washing it I wringed out most of the water in the shower. It really got rid of all the gunk on my scalp. Then I blow dried my hair which got rid of most of the water.
Right now its not damp but then its not dry. It doesn't have a smell which is a good thing. ima blow dry it some more a lil later.. then I'm going to twist it.
I'm thinking about keeping my hair down these next few days. My hair has gotten a little longer these past few weeks.. yay!!! I want to curl my hair soon but I'm going to wait until after I dye my hair. In two weeks I'm thinking about dying my hair to a rich auburn color. I had that color in my hair in my first set and I really loved it. And plus I'm going to by some more trincets for my hair. I saw some nice ones at this beauty supply store around my house..
Ima post soon!
