Let's try this on for size...

Hey friends!

I have had this blog for sometime and never got started on it! Shame on me!I guess I should have started this a while ago, but never the less, I'm here!

As you can already tell, I am natural. I am in love with my natural hair and I am sooo glad I made this decision! I am approaching my 8th month Nappversary and im excited about it. I have heard many of my natural friends discuss going without "-cones" Silicones are laced in most conditioners and hair products. They are designed to cover the hair shaft and create a shine, but over time that turns into dull, lifeless hair. These cones block moisture and make it difficult for other hair products to combine with them. I have been using all natural products for a while, but i have not considered "Co-washes" I tried it in the winter and we allll know how that ended up! It was toooo cold to try that. Now since Summer is fastly approaching I want to try doing it again. I am a "suds" girl and im not sure how I will make it without washing my hair with shampoo (natural ones only) I would like to see what the rave is all about ( I know.. just shake me!) I have heard many people say how their hair has changed and actually recieves product alot better. I don't use anything overly harmful in my hair. I have stayed away from commercial products that strip your hair and cause harm to my stresses!

I currently use:
Giovanni 50/50 Shampoo
Giovanni Deep Moisture Shampoo
Giovanni Deep Moisture Conditioner
Giovanni Hair Styling Foam
Ghemet Biologics Alma and Heavy Cream
Ghemet Soft Hold Gel
Castor Oil
Moe's Growth Oil
Taliah Waajid Protective Mist bodifier
Taliah Waajid Lock it up (Tight Hold) Gel

I basically have a "Curly Girl Method" already started, I just dont Co-wash. I guess I have to develop a way to cowash my hair for work days. Saturdays are my wash days. I wash my hair Deep condish and twist it down. I dont like wash and go's because they leave me with no choice but to 'fro it. My hair in a fro leaves me with no options but to put a head band on it and go. I would like to keep my two-strand twists so my hair will not be so frizzy. Any suggestions?
