I'm back with lots to share!

I have been MIA for almost a year, but I did that on purpose. I wanted to learn more about my hair and to also simplify my regimen. I am very proud to almost be 2 years natural and I know what my hair loves and needs! The best feeling EVER!

I have a Spring/ Summer regimen, but Fall/ Winter is a little bit different.

Shampoo: Tresemme Naturals Low Sulfate Shampoo, ORS Creamy Aloe Shampoo

Clarifying Shampoo: Suave Daily Clarifying Shampoo

Conditioner: Tresemme Naturals Nourishing Moisture Conditioner (Silicone Free)

Hair Butter: Good ole Shea butter!

Moisturizer: Water, Qhemet Biologics Burdock Root Butter Cream

Gel: IC Fantasia (clear gel), EcoStyler Gel (Olive Oil)

Oils: Hot Six Oil (only used when I straighten my hair)

I think my winter regimen is pretty simple. I have realized that I don't do a lot of things that other naturals do. I don't deep condition my hair, I use sulfate shampoos, I don't oil my scalp. I also don't moisturize and seal my hair everyday. I do it twice a week (if that). I don't do wash and go's either. I will explain more about why I do the things that I do for my hair later. Until then!

So I used the flat iron again lol

It has been 13 months since I did the Big Chop! I decided it was time for a trim. I straightened my hair so that I could see the dead ends. Here are pictures! I will tell you guys how I prepared my hair for straightening later this weekend!
