For the passed couple of years I've used No-Lye relaxer in my hair and lately I've noticed horrid changes in my hair in terms of length and texture [see right for how LONG my hair was]. My hair is getting shorter and shorter and the texture is not where as close to as healthy as it used to be. So I've decided to go natural. So no more no-lye relaxers for my hair. No more chemicals, period. There probably won't even be a difference to other people whether my hair is natural or not, considering the fact that my mom is asian, black, and east indian...my hair is not textured like women who are 100% african american so my hair doesn't fro no matter how much you try to blow dry it. Nor is my hair nappy at all. So, me perming my hair was pretty much pointless. That there is the advantage, if even you want to call it that because I find afros to be adorable. However, because I am mixed, It's hard for me to find products that work well for my type of hair. I can't go with products that are strictly for african americans because 99% of the time the product is too strong for my hair. Then I can't use products made for thinner hair because it's too light. So I really have to do a trial and error thing every time I try to find a new product for my hair.  I've been doing research for the passed couple of days, though and I've found a couple of products that can be deemed worthy of a try. Through several reviews and then I heard Rebekah talk about them in her vlog. 



I promise I'll try these and tell you all what I think of them once I've used them. Every review I've read was either 4.5 stars or 5 stars. I've tried several sites as well so as to not just read the biased ones. I'm excited to see how my hair will respond to these. I'm washing my hair tomorrow to start off my experiment. They're organic based products so I shouldn't have anything to worry about.

 

At this very moment, I'm sitting here waiting for my clay mask to dry. Freeman Avocado & Oatmeal Purifying Clay Masque is simply wonderful. You just apply it to your face [of course avoiding lips and eye areas] and wait for approximately 10-15 minutes then wash off with warm water. SIMPLE! In addition to being simple, the scent is VERY pleasant and it goes on smooth. Most of all, It's inexpensive. I paid about 5 bucks for mine and it's quite a large tube [6 Fl Oz]. I'm not even a huge fan of clay masques but when I did a pageant about two years ago, my stylist recommended it and I've been using it ever since. It gets my skin smooth and works pretty well with purging out pores. I wouldn't recommend it for acne so much but if you are looking for a mask to take care of your pores, this would be it. I give it two thumbs up for scent, cost-effectiveness, as well as functionality.



Okay..onto life matters, I'm finishing up school in which I'm super damn excited for! Tomorrow I'll be in cali, in fact around this time [8:04] I'll be at the airport going through security and such. [You know how the airport is. ] As far as school goes, I'll be getting two A's as far as I know. Sociology..I should get a high B in, which is good enough for me. Haha. That class was pretty hard to me. And it really sucked.  Well I'm not going to say that. The work load was pretty sucky though. Haha. I didn't even start packing for my vacation as yet! Oh my, I have so much do to tomorrow. School, washing my hair, as well as packing! I have quite the workload cut out for me.  I'll get through it though, especially since my reward is lovely cali! Tehe! Let's see, my lovelife is still sucking to be quite frank. I recently found Cyrus on facebook. Cyrus is a guy I met about a year and a half ago at a party in high school. I always thought he was cute but didn't approach for two reasons. A. I thought he wouldn't be my type. and B. Taleesa was crushing and we were close at that point in time. Both of those things don't matter anymore for the simple fact that Cyrus is more of my type than I thought and Taleesa and I aren't really close friends like that anymore, which kind of sucks..but yeah. I'm not sure if he's feeling me back or if he's putting up with me just to be friendly. Lol. We are supposed to hang out when I come back from Cali and I'm uber stoked for that. I hope everything goes smoothly! [I'll keep you guys updated!] He's an intriguing person though, he's vegan and a video game nerd like I am! He doesn't smoke or drink [what a relief!] and he shares my believes when it comes to family and 'sex' [how taboo to talk about when you're first getting to know a person, but yea..i went there. AND WHAT?! lol!]. I'm not going to say I'm crushing on him, it's too soon for that, however he does spark my interest. He's an interesting individual and I want to get to know him better, yes. Anyhow, family relations are going well of course. Everyone is getting along and we'll be even closer when we come back from this vacation. I know we will. I love them all so much.  I'm about to go shower and wash this masque off of my face though. It's been entirely too long. I'll update tonight or tomorrow, whenever I feel like I have something to say!
