It's been a while(i think?) since I've shown pictures of the boys hair and I figure why not.. I know last time I posted it was a picture of Elijah totally bald and me being extremely depressed by it, lol. Well here is a few pictures of Noah , and Elijah's hair.
Noah's hair is coming along. I am making it a must to moisturize everyday. He hates it and so I would slack on it but I think his hair needs it everyday! In this picture I wet his hair down and applied Hollywood's olive oil cream, it's a very thick cream. I used to use it on Elijah. I loved it.
His hair is pretty much no fuss. A spray of water, and leave in and we're good to go
(not a hairstyle, hair is drying..lol)
After 10 months, I decided to big chop! I tried to transition as long as possible and I'm glad I did but trying to keep both textures happy was not happening. My natural sections I cut long ago were/are thriving and curls well defined and soft.. the hair that was still attached to the relaxed hair was frizzy and dry no matter what I did. I tried to find products to please both hair types not all I got was frizzy natural hair and even more damaged relaxed hair.
The only way it looked good was when I straightened it and I continously trimmed to the point I only had bits of relaxed hair on my ends. At that point I knew just going ahead and cutting it off was the best thing to do.
I look forward to seeing how my hair grows with proper care!
yay we're all natural!lol. excuse my face!!lol
Yay! I think it looks nice :) I wish I could do it. I just don't have the patience. I'm already addicted to the "creamy crack" lol
Quoting 3KurlyKids:
Good for you! Your hair looks great. What products are you using? I'm a product junkie so I might be able to recommend some things. :)
So far I am trying to use what I had while transitioning. I've got eco styler argan oil gel, a jar of sheamoisture cream. I would like to get a really good thick moisturizer any recommendations?:)
It's all good :)
I have seen such beautiful heads of relaxed hair, I drove myself crazy trying to get it that way and it never seemed to work out for me. Maybe I will have better luck natural **fingers crossed**

Eco Styler gel has protein and it makes my hair hard and dried out after a day or two. Maybe try Fantasia IC gel - it doesn't have protein.
For a moisturizer, I use a Shea Moisture Leave In, but this one is only sold at the beauty supply - not at Target. I also add water and aloe Vera gel to my hair (and my kids' hair) before I apply any type of styling product. I've also started sealing everyone's hair, after washing, with a Shea butter mix by Koils by Nature. I've found that goes a long way with keeping our hair moisturized.
Quoting AndreaWright:You are so beautiful!! I love the last pic of you with your boys!!
You hair is so long! All that growth in only 10 months. The boys hair too is awesome. I love the length, not too short, long enough to see their curls, perfect!
Thank you! I was REALLY surprised by all the growth in just 10 months as well!! I can wear my hair in a ponytail..granted, it's a little one a ponytail none the less, LOL.
