11 months and going strong!


Just wanted to say...I have been transitioning for 11 months now! Yeah! Really have no desire to Big Chop any time soon. However, I gave myself a 1/2 inch to 1 inch trim today. I need to edit the video. I will post on Facebook when it is ready.

Thanks for your support! I love y'all!

    Congratulations on 11 months! Are you still doing the Curly Girl Method? I just found your blog a few minutes ago, and was excited to see another transitioner trying CG.

    I just reached 3 months a couple days ago, and I've been doing the CG method pretty much from the beginning of my transition. I love it. My hair feels great, and I'm experimenting with and learning new styles. So glad I learned about it when I did :)

    Hope all is well with you, take care!

      Thank you! Yes, I am still doing the Curly Girl Method. I believe apart from the decision to go natural, this is the next best decision I could have made for my hair. It has helped my hair with retaining moisture. I do not do the typical WnG since I still have the relaxed ends, but based on products and styling tools, I have kept strictly to the CG Method. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me, here or on my Facebook page,or on Twitter.

      Thanks!!

Does having lots of hair on your arm means long hair on your head?

Image
  No, having a lot of hair on your arms doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll have long hair on your head. Hair growth patterns, thickness, and length on different parts of the body are influenced by factors such as genetics, hormones, and individual biology. For example: • Hair on arms is usually vellus or terminal hair, which grows to a certain length and then stops. • Scalp hair grows continuously in a cycle (anagen, catagen, telogen phases), allowing it to become much longer than body hair. While genetics may influence both arm and scalp hair characteristics, they don’t directly determine the length of one based on the other.

How to know your hair porosity

Image
Hair porosity refers to how well your hair absorbs and retains moisture. There are three main levels of porosity: low, medium, and high . To determine your hair porosity, you can use the following methods: 1. The Float Test • Take a few strands of clean, dry hair (no product or oil on it). • Fill a glass or bowl with room-temperature water. • Drop the hair strands into the water and wait 2–4 minutes. • Low porosity: Hair floats on top, as the cuticles are tightly closed and resist absorbing water. • Medium porosity: Hair slowly sinks to the middle, as it absorbs a balanced amount of water. • High porosity: Hair quickly sinks to the bottom, as it absorbs water easily due to open or damaged cuticles. 2. The Slip Test • Run your fingers up a strand of hair from the tip to the root. • Low porosity: Hair feels smooth, indicating tightly closed cuticles. • Medium porosity: Hair feels slightly textured, indicating healthy cuticles. • High porosity:...
