The Current State of My Hair

Hello, all! I know it's been awhile since I've posted here. I must admit I have been cheating on you with my other blog, Evolving Elle-Southern Girl in the City. And I was wearing some extensions during this summer. But I am back to being my natural, beautiful self!

As I stated in previous posts, my hair was damaged from straightening it so much, and I decided to give it a break. Well, the break is over! I've been wearing my hair for about 3 weeks now. My 10 year high school reunion is this weekend, and I decided to wear my natural 'do! It's shorter than I would like, but I'm learning to embrace the length and try styles that are suitable, doable, and low maintenance. I love wearing braid-outs, but sadly my hair isn't long enough for me to braid it, so I've been twisting it. I know some of you are thinking, "What's the difference?" Trust me, there's a big one!! I feel like with braid outs, my hair is wavier and fuller. Twist outs make my hair appear shorter and somewhat curly. So you get an idea of what my hair has looked like this summer, I'll post some pics, and I'll post a pic of my hair from last week.

If you have any suggestions on how I should wear my hair, please let me know! Oh, I can say that I try the Kinky Curly Curling Gel...yeah, I didn't like it. Based on my hair type, which I believe is a 4B, it didn't have the effect I wanted. I may experiment on Friday with some rods to get it ready for my official reunion dinner on Friday. I'll be sure to post some pics from this weekend and my experimentation. Until next time, stay nappturally beautiful!
