Just dropping in!

Hey y'all, I'm just dropping in because I made a new vlog for YouTube about my twist out and mini frohawk. I thought it was cute so I wanted to show everybody. I swear my hair grows really fast, because I did a twist out a month ago and I have way more hair this month than last month. I was able to do big twists too. Here's the link to my video.

My Biggest Pet Peeve!!

This may offend some folks, but I just can't keep it in anymore. I am a new vlogger on YouTube and I have befriended some women on this site with TWAs as well (my youtube name is princesasosweet). One thing I'm noticing is that a lot of women are trying to create a bunch of hairstyles with a TWA. I just don't get it! Why can't you just let your hair be? Leave it alone until you get more length. That's all I really had to say today, it's almost Spring Break for me. I am going to Montego Bay, Jamaica and I will take some pictures so I can post them. I am so excited to go swimming with my natural hair! All these years, I've been taught to avoid the pool, rain, hell water in general, but I get to fully experience being on vacation this time. Hooray! :) See y'all in a week!

Why is this man smiling at me like that?

I went to the gym today and was looking pretty rough after sweating so much. I went to get something to eat right after I left the gym and this man making my food kept staring me. He was smiling at me a lot and flirting and trying to know more about me. I felt pretty darn good at this moment. I am still in shock that any guy would be interested in me after being so gross after the gym. It also made me feel good that my natural hair was cute to him too. I love it! :) In the first picture, my hair was wet, so don't pay attention to the white stuff. I still use the same hair products. I love me some Miss Jessie's! My hair always looks and feels great!

I Got A Fro Y'all! :)

Here's my hair when I washed it yesterday. This weekend will be my 2 month anniversary after my Big Chop and I am so excited! My hair has grown so much and this is the thickest it has ever been. I am confident now with my fro and I love it! I wouldn't change anything about my hair EVER!!

Yay! It's finally my 1st month napptural anniversary!! :)

So I made it! Yay! I can finally say it's been one month since I BC'd. I have seen a lot of growth so far and my hair is thicker now. I am absolutely in love with my hair. I can't wait to see my hair in a few months to see the progress. I had an ugly day this week because I didn't feel pretty with my TWA. I felt very boyish and plain looking. I then started thinking maybe I should wear some bigger earrings or put on some makeup, but I snapped out of that mentality. Before I went natural, I wore little make up and wore small stud earrings and I refuse to change that about myself. I am still rocking my cute stud pearls and diamonds because those things make me Ashley Nicole. I know that I am beautiful on the inside and out and I have to remember that. I want to continue to be a confident sista with a TWA and I want to inspire other sistas too. Here's my YouTube video that shows my hair journey.

Sorry I've been so busy!

Twist out results

I have been doing a little bit of blogging on hairlista.com lately. That site is so addicting sometimes, but I strongly recommend it for any women that love to discuss their hair, ask questions and give advice as well. So far, I've been doing a lot of wash and go's with my TWA, but Saturday I decided to twist my hair. I was pretty nervous about doing a twist out, because my hair is so short, but it actually looked really good. I thought I could keep it for a few days, but my scalp itched so much! It even itched in my sleep, so today I washed my hair and just did the usual wash and go. I used Miss Jessie's Baby Buttercreme to twist my hair, but I think I need to use some oil on my scalp before I twist my hair. Maybe my scalp itched because it was dry. I don't know though. This past week, I started school again after studying abroad in Spain and I was so surprised by the reactions to my hair. Everyone liked my hair! What a pleasant surprise! :) In fact, some girls asked me why I decided to go natural. Some told me that they wish they could rock a TWA like me. It felt really good! That was one thing I was worried about, was being accepted again with my little afro. Now I know I have nothing to worry about.

Also, I have a YouTube account now! I only have one video on there now, but stay tuned for more videos. :)

I BC'd 3 times!

I cut my hair once while I was studying in Spain. I still had a ton of straight ends though, but I just couldn't deal with the straight hair anymore. I also got a professional hair cut when I got back to Charlotte, NC, but I didn't like the style so I went to the salon again two days later. It looks like 3 times a charm! :)
