HapppY Anniversary!!!!!!! 1 year Natural :)

Whew..... Welll we made it!! finally made it through 1 year of allll Natural Hair... Congrats are in Order! I would not say it was the easiest route for any one to take .... The Big Chop... smh I have my Pros and Cons..... I would say wait tell u are ready.. to be honest I thought I was ready for short hair... but I wasn't lol . I had chemical and Heat damaged hair so I had no choice... You have to do what you have to do. I retained alot of growth by DAILY COWASHING, SEALING MY ENDS WITH SHEA BUTTER., GENTLY DETANGLING WITH A WIDE TOOTH COMB AND DENMAN BRUSH. THATS ALL!! I SUPPORT K. I. S.S ( KEEP IT SIMPLE SISTER)

I currently just colored ( Professionally ,Ladies) my hair strawberry blonde.... I know I know.. but Color on naturally hair is wonderful. I deep treatment twice a week with Aubrey's Honeysickle Rose Moisturing Conditioner. I put on a plastic cap and sit under the dryer for about 30 minutes.. My hair is like butter... no breakage. I also did a Mild Protein treatment with

One Year Anniversary ON the Horizon.. Horrible Bloggers.

Yes... its been how long since we posted?? I know .. we are horrible.. on a lighter note .. I thought it would be only right to post on the Day Tan gives birth to a beautiful Baby Girl named Lyric .. Congrads 'Sis.

June is YanTan's Big Chop Anniversary...........

We cannot wait to show you our progress.

I'm going to do a list for the many tips I have learned during this growing out process..

Yes I had bad days.. days I wanted to relax.. days I would look at someone's straight long hair/ weave/ Lace Front.. and did mmm maybe I should..

Im glad I substain the temptation.. to go back to the damaging effects I was all soo use too.

My hair has grown to a very exciting length...... Apl stretched.. shoulder length curly..

Experiment.. Tested and Approved... Cowashing everyday.. shea butter on my ends.. and Kinky Curly Custard for Control..... ........results in shoulder length hair curly ... in 10 months...

The best thing I ever did for my hair.. it is healthier and happier than ever.. Hopefully I can borrow my boyfriend's camera.. to show u soon.

Anyone doudting your decision.... don't... you won't regret it.. be patient and once you get some length your hair will hang and your curls will elongate.. Just give it some time.. you will be where you want in noo time.

Later Gators, Yan
