I finally did it. I big chopped on November 12th 2013. I am now ready to fully embrace my natural texture.Now i can learn how to work with my own natural texture. So far i love it! I believe i have a mixture of 4a and 3c curls. Mostly 4a. I'll be watching youtube video to learn as much as i can about taking care of my curls. This time around i want to get to waist length with healthy natural hair!!!</div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hey everyone! It's been a while since i last made a post. Yes ladies & gents. I have finally decided to commit to transitioning. It's been 8 months without relaxing and i am ready to fully embrace my natural hair. I've been learning so much about my natural hair. So far the journey has not been as easy as i expected. I've learned that i have 3 textures, mostly 4a. I'm still dealing with the relaxed texture also. I decided to do a long term transition. Meaning i will keep cutting the relaxed ends until i'm completely natural.</span><br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Here is my most recent trim:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Hello everybody i know it's been a while since i last blogged. Once again i'm debating stretching or transitioning. I have not relaxed since July. I have about 3 inches of new growth. I don't plan to relax any time soon. Since July i have been trying to deal with the new growth and the many textures of my hair. I have 4a, 4b and some 3a textures plus the relaxed texture. The one common thing about all the textures is that my hair is very dry and brittle, even more so stretching! I am at the point of being so tired of the relaxed ends breaking and shedding all the time. So, i'm leaning once again toward transitioning. I have been using the <a href="http://shinaturals.bigcartel.com/product/transitions-kit" target="_blank"><span style="color: magenta;">Shi-Smooth Transition Kit</span></a> to help me along with this process, just in case i decide to transition. So far the kit is really helping with taming the new growth and helping with the dryness and breakage.</span><br />

I have decided to keep my hair in <span style="background-color: white;">protected styles for the rest of the summer in order to help with achieving my goal length. I installed these crochect braids. These crochet braids are 3 weeks old and holding up well. I plan on keep this style for 1 month. So far so good!!</span><br />

2. Oil scalp every other day (<a href="http://shinaturals.bigcartel.com/product/grow-potion" target="_blank">Grow Potion Light Formulation</a>)</div>

<b><i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Henna for thicker hair? </span></i></b></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></i></b></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There has been so much debating about henna's ability to thicken hair. What's true and what's myth? I know my fine hair loves henna. Yes i do firmly believe henna does thicken hair. I've had fine hair all my life, so i know when there is a different feel to my hair, and also i can see the thickness. Although henna's thickening is temporary. You must continue to use henna to hold on to the thickness. I apply henna gloss 2x a month to keep my fine strands thicker.</span></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><i>What is henna?</i></b>
</span></div>
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-weight: normal; line-height: 24px; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Henna is a plant. Its leaves contain a property called lawsone, a red-orange pigment. The leaves are crushed into a powder. This powder can be used to color hair temporarily. It does not lighten, only deposits color.</span></span></h2>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">How does henna work on the hair?</span></i></b></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></i></b></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b style="background-color: #f9cb9c; line-height: 18px;"><i>Henna:</i></b><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;"> Think of Henna like a natural protein treatment. Henna works to stop breakage by strengthening the hair shaft and attaches itself to the keratin bonds of hair to thicken. Henna also works to seal and repair the cuticle which makes for more manageable hair, a plus when it comes to detangling. Although Henna is mainly known as a mega strengthener, Henna has conditioning properties as well, which leaves the hair shiny, soft and full of body.</span></span>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I'm on a quest to find and use only natural products and ingredients. So last week i decided to clean out my stash of products i no longer wish to use. So i thought, lol. I saw some products that i haven't seen in years. Yes, i had products all piled up. While going through these old half used products (some were new too), i came across a product i had used a while ago. I remember having really good results with it. I threw everything else out but this product. Mega Growth Anti Breakage Strengthener Growth Lotion. So after washing and conditioning with my beloved <a href="http://shinaturals.bigcartel.com/" target="_blank">Shi-Naturals products. </a>I air dried and applied this lotion in sections. I didn't even seal with oil. I love this lotion. I don't have a clue as to why i stopped using it. Oh yeah. Not all the ingredients are natural, but i don't care. This is going back in staple products!! My hair felt moisturized and strong, and had lots of shine.</span></span></div>

<b>My Results : </b> </div>
<div>
My hair has a tendency to shed at this time of the year, and goes through a few changes along with the season. This time, i figured i would get a jump on the shedding with a garlic conditioner and a protein strengthening conditioner. Well, my Shi-Naturals <a href="http://shinaturals.bigcartel.com/product/garlic-conditioner-for-shedding">Garlic Conditioner for Shedding </a>really curbed my shedding a lot. Now for the protein conditioner. I wanted to try something different. Why? I don't know. The Shi-Naturals products work perfectly on my hair. But, being the product junkie that i am. I wanted to try something different. I saw the <span style="color: #6aa84f;">Every Strand Keratin Hair Treatment for Chemically Treated Hair</span> conditioner. The price was right so why not give it a try. The conditioner is a thick formulation just the way i like my conditioners to be. It has a pleasant smell (i love a good smelling conditioner). So, i apply the conditioner in sections. Concentrating on the roots. I'm 13.5 weeks post with 2 inches of new growth (thanks Shi-Natural <a href="http://shinaturals.bigcartel.com/product/grow-potion">Grow Potion</a>). I then put on my plastic cap, wrap a towel around my head. I let the conditioner sit for 1 hour without heat. I rinse. This is where the fun begins (*sarcastically*). As i'm rinsing, i can feel my hair clumping up. I keep rinsing, making sure all of this conditioner is out. I apply my leave in's, air dry about 80%. I was almost in tears!!! I could not get the comb thru my hair.It took me almost 4 hours to detangle, and i lost a lot of hair :o) This conditioner totally did not agree with my hair. How do i know it was this conditioner? Because it was the only thing i tried that was different. The moral of the story? If something works for you. Stick with it. I hope i've learned my lesson. Until i see something else, lol</div>

Well ladies i decided to relax today! I just got tired of the two textures, and it's just too damn hot to fight this hair, lol. I had a very good relaxer experience this time. No burning at all. I used Organic Root Stimulator Relaxer (Normal) I relaxed in sections. This is the method i will be using from now on.<br />
<br />
<b>Here's the method :</b><br />
<br />
1. Base scalp the night before being careful not to irrate scalp<br />
2. I parted in 4 sections, then put a plastic conditioning cap over the bottom 2 sections. Then secured the bottom section with clips, so that section would not get wet.<br />
3. On the two top sections. I divided those sections into smaller sections ( 5 on each side, with duckbill clips)<br />
4. I proceeded to apply the relaxer to the sections, removing the clips then applying the relaxer to each section.<br />
5. I smoothed the relaxer through the whole section, rinsed, neutralized. Proceeded to the next top half.<br />
6. Repeated #5<br />
7. I then moved to the bottom 2 sections<br />
8. Repeated #5 for the bottom 2 sections<br />
9. Rinse the whole head, then neutralized, rinsed and conditioned with protein reconsturor, the moisturizing conditioner.<br />
10. Air-dried, applied leave-ins<span style="background-color: white;"></span><br />
11. Done, lol<br />
<br />
Although the relaxer process went smoothly. I will not stretch as long again. I will stretch for 3-4 months. I think stretching that long is not good for my fine hair. I had a lot of new growth, but the ends were so thin. I had to cut away most of the progress :o(<br />
<br />
Now that i'm relaxed. I will work harder to reach my goal of waistlength by Dec. 3rd 2011. I think i can reach my goal because i'm using <a href="http://shinaturals.bigcartel.com/product/grow-potion" style="background-color: magenta;"></a><a href="http://shinaturals.bigcartel.com/product/grow-potion"><span style="color: magenta;">Shi-Naturals Grow Potion</span></a> and i got lots of growth from this product.

Hey Everyone. Can you believe i made to 26.2 weeks post? I do believe this is the longest stretch i've done. So let me update you ladies as to how i'm doing with this stretch. My hair is so weird, lol. It seems the longer i stretch the easier it's getting. I don't want to jinx myself, but with this stretch. I'm not having shedding issues or breakage (crossing fingers, eyes, legs and everything). All and all i can't really complain. My hair is being so cooperative, it's scary!! Anyhoo. I'm about 3 inches from my goal of waistlength. I've got about 2-1/2 inches of new growth or more. I'm usually an average to slow grower, but since i've add my new growth aid, my hair growth seems to be taking off. I have no problem with that, lol<br />
<br />
Here's what i've been doing for this stretch:<br />
Co-washing 2x weekly <br />
Pre-poo with Shi-Natural <a href="http://shinaturals.bigcartel.com/product/pre-poo">pre-poo buttercreme</a><br />
Deep conditioning with Shi-Naturals <a href="http://shinaturals.bigcartel.com/product/deep-moisturizing-conditioner">Moisture Balance Deep Conditioner</a> 1 week<br />
Deep conditioning with Shi-Naturals <a href="http://shinaturals.bigcartel.com/product/deep-moisturizing-conditioner">Protein Balance Deep Conditioner</a> 1 week (alternating between the moisture & protein condish)<br />
<br />
Daily : Applying Shi-Naturals <a href="http://shinaturals.bigcartel.com/product/grow-potion">Grow Potion Hair Growth Excelerator</a> on my scalp. This product makes my new growth so soft. (Awesome product. I'm getting about an inch or more per month since i started using it) <br />
<br />
Moisturizing 1x daily with Mirta de Perales keratin lotion<br />
Sealing 1x daily with Mirta de Perales keratin & Argan oil<br />
<br />
Monthly : Shi-Naturals<a href="http://shinaturals.bigcartel.com/product/herbal-tea-rinse"> Herbal Tea Rinse</a><br />
Henna Gloss (Cassia or Henna 100% natural)<br />
<br />
That's it!! Still not sure how long i will stretch?<br />
<br />

<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Since i don't use shampoo often. I decided not to use the shampoo just yet. I will use the shampoo at some point, so i cannot give a review. I am in love with the deep conditioner. It's thick like what i always want in a conditioner, the smell is delicious and my hair felt extremely soft yet strong.The conditioner was easy to rinse and my fine hair did not feel weighed down, just very conditioned. It's a winner!!! although not completely natural, so i won't use it regularly. I know it works to soften and detangle and i will keep it on hand in case of emergency, lol The hair lotion was a good surprise for me because it didn't think i would like it, but the hair lotion moisturized very well. I was also surprised that after sealing with the hair serum with keratin and argan oil (perfect blend) how soft and moisturized my hair felt. The only con about the hair serum is the smell. I'm big on smells and the serum was too strong smelling for my taste.</span><span style="font-size: small;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Even with the strong smell and the products not being 100% natural. I must say. I was very impressed (i'm not easily impressed by products) So, ladies if you are looking for good products at a good price. I say give this line a try!!</span></span></div>

Okay so i've made it to 22 weeks post. The longer i stretch the more the new growth seems to coil around each other. Even with the knotting and coiling this stretch has not been so bad. I have had some stretches that were so difficult to manage. Always though at this point i'm thinking about going natural and also completely using all natural products. I have experimented with many <a href="http://www.wenhaircare.com/">hair care</a> products mostly commercial products with lots of chemicals, most of which i cannot pronounce. So i'm really trying to buy only <a href="http://www.wenhaircare.com/whyitsunique.php">natural hair products</a> . I have some great natural hair products that seem to work better than the commercial products anyway. I'm dying to try <a href="http://www.wenhaircare.com/">Wen hair care products</a> (if you've tried Wen please let me know what you think about the product). The thing is, now i have two or more textures to deal with, and i don't know which <a href="http://www.wenhaircare.com/howtouse.php">hair conditioner </a>will work with all the different textures. My new growth (is about 2-1/2 inches) is very coily and dry. My relaxed ends are dry but get weighed down if i use a conditioner with lots of oil, that works on my new growth!! So, i have been experimenting with using two different conditioners. One for the new growth and a different conditioner for the relaxed ends.<br />
<br />
<b>Here's what i'm doing to get a balance with the different textures :</b><br />
<br />
1. Co-washing with any cheapie conditioner<br />
2. Applying moisturizing conditioner to new growth (softening dry new growth)<br />
3. Applying protein conditioner to relaxed ends (strengthening relaxed ends)<br />
4, Moisturizing & sealing entire new growth and relaxed ends<br />
<br />
This seems to be working for now, lol<br />
<br />
P.S. if you have any suggestions, let me know :o)<br />

<b>My Opinion : </b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Once again pj-ism has kicked in. I knew it would. Whenever i see a new product (or an old product, lol) i just have to have it. I've been really good lately, sticking to my staple products, but i was just too curious to past this one by. Okay, the jury is still out on this one. The price is good, won't break the bank. I have used this product 4 times, so i could give an honest opinion about it. I'm not sure if it really strengthening my hair, but it isn't breaking it, and my hair doesn't feel the usual hardness of other strengtheners. I will continue to use this strengthener because my hair loves protein and needs it. I will alternate between this strengthener and my Shi-Naturals Herbal Tea Growth Tea.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Pros : </b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
smells nice</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
good price</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
makes hair easy to comb (pleasant surprise! )</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
did not leave my hair crunchy!!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
can be used daily </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Cons : </b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Have not really noticed much strengthening yet</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This is the only con i've noticed about the product, but it's supposed to mainly be about strengthening, lol</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

Anyway! I'll keep ya posted!</div>

This stretch so far has not been too bad. I am 19.5 weeks post. I'm not in a rush to do anything, lol, because i don't know what i'm gonna do. I do know that i seem to be stuck at this lenght (BSL) I have no idea how to pass it (any suggestions?) I'm not sure if the 6 month stretches are benefical to my hair's length or condition. When i stretch my hair gets so dry and moistuizing and sealing only help a little. Too much actually makes it hard and crunchy. I'm gonna stretch as long as i can before making a decision. Every stretch i really, really think about transitioning.<br />
<br />
<b>The stretch details :</b><br />
pre-poo (<a href="http://shinaturals.bigcartel.com/">Shi-Naturals buttercreme pre-poo</a>)<b> </b><br />
co-washing 2x weekly (with <a href="http://shinaturals.bigcartel.com/">Shi-Naturals moisture balance deep conditioner and Shi-Naturals protein deep conditioner</a>)<br />
moisturize ( my homemade moisture mix)<br />
seal (grapeseed oil)<br />
<br />
I detangle at least 3x a week because while stretching, my new growth gets really crazy!! (i use mane n tail detangler, this really helps)<br />
<br />
I always air dry (i don't know if this contributes to my hair being extra dry) When i rollerset, my hair does not feel as dry.<br />
<br />
I moisturize and seal at least 1x week or more (depends on how my hair feels)<br />
<br />
I'm wearing all protective styles during this stretch.<br />
<br />
Stay tunned! Transitioning is always on my mind :o)<br />

Well, i'm at the point in my stretch where i have lots of new growth. Lots of tangles and breakage. I've been here before so, this time i put into practice everything i've learned from my past stretches, plus some new techniques that i'm mixing with the old. So far so good.<br />
<br />
<b>Here's what i'm doing :</b><br />
<br />
<b>1.</b> co-washing - 3x week (more co-washing need as stretch continues)<br />
i'm using my new favorite conditioners for co-washing (<a href="http://shinaturals.bigcartel.com/">Shi-Naturals</a>-Moisture Balance Deep Conditioner & Protein Balance Deep conditioner)<br />
<br />
<b>2.</b> Herbal Tea Rinse (<a href="http://shinaturals.bigcartel.com/">Shi-Naturals</a> - Herbal Growth Rinse to detangle and promote growth)<br />
<br />
<b>3.</b> Moisturize & Seal (homemade moisture mix) in sections. Seal with almond oil, or grapeseed oil, or castor oil<br />
<br />
<b>4.</b> Protective style (wig, braids, weave or bun)<br />
<br />

I think it is so very important to support <i><b style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">small business</b></i> it not only does it strengthen our economy, but also helps those businesses to grow! Shia is the creator of a new line of handmade natural and organic products for hair and body. Her struggles with sensitivity to chemicals prompted her to make her own natural and organic products for herself and family and friends. The products became a huge success, so she began creating all kinds of hair and beauty products.She uses all-natural ingredients and ensures that each of
her suppliers abide by the Fair Trade Practices. Soon, her business
was taking off she is able to do what she truly loves.You have a choice to make with every dollar you spend…give it to a
big-box retailer, or support a small business entrepreneur like Shia!<br />
