Earlier this summer, before my one year BC anniversary, I started thinking about what I wanted to do to celebrate. I decided on two things: I wanted to try a new hair style (faux-hawk to be exact) and I wanted to be featured on a blog I found (Newly Natural). I am exicted to report that one of those dreams came true! My "We are the Yearlings" feature is below. Maybe one day soon I will attempt the faux-hawk...

Since then, I have twisted my own hair three times, which is an amazing feat if you know me at all! That's one of my favorite things about being natural - it has given me the courage to try new things and stretch myself. The first time I twisted my hair was during the hurricane (I know, strange time to try that!). I twisted it while it was dry, and in retrospect that wasn't the best method. The goal was just to twist it overnight and wear a twist out the following day. Each time I learned something new to try. So far I've realized that shampooing, conditioning, and using Paul Mitchell's The Detangler helped make my hair more manageable for the twists. The last two times I have also used Shea Moisture's Organic Coconut and Hibiscus Curl Enhancing Smoothie, which worked wonders on my hair.
Next stop: press out!!
