I recently (recent as in 2 months ago) cut my hair into a long bob, I knew it would look great straight, but had to admit I wasn’t sure how my curls would look, even though I’ve cut it shorter for “the chop” when officially went natural about 5 years ago. I have to say that I’m totally in love with my shorter hair, curly and straight. I have been rocking the curls most of the summer because the humidity and straight hair don’t mix (even when I had a relaxer it didn’t work so well). However, I do straightening when getting it cut or trimmed especially since I finally found a stylist whom I trust.
I’m a fanatic when it comes to two things: hair and shoes. Both have to be perfect when I step out of the door or else my day is just all wrong. I often make suttle changes to my ‘do by adding a head band, pin up or pull back, but my all out ‘fro is my absolute favorite. I wash using Pantene Relaxed & Natural Shampoo and Conditioner. I then put a healthy amount of Garnier Frutis Leave-in Conditioning Cream.
I then use Miss Jessie’s Curly Pudding and coil hair around my finger in about 2-inch sections. I usually airdry, but you can opt to sit under the dryer. Once completely dry (a little dampness is ok) I’ll seperate and fluff. This look will last about 3-4 days before it starts to look a little raggedy, but the process is pretty easy and not as time consumer, so this is my “go-to” look regularly.
