My twist outs

So after twisting my hair yesterday, this is what I came out with. I guess it is kinda cute. I will do this again but I want to have more products to experiment with next time.

 Well ever since I have decided to go natural , I have been in the mirror every night with a pair of scissors trying to make that first snip. I want to sooo bad! But I need some more motivation. I have been searching  online, looking for some great transition hairstyles.
Is it me or does everyone who is going through the transition stage, is constantly feeling their new growth. That is what I do all day. Hoping I would just get that sure motivation buzz and "chop chop".

 Today while searching online, I came across twist outs. Now my sister mentioned that she liked them but I did not know what they were. So I checked it out and guess what...it is a great transition style and best of all I can do them myself! Yay!! So the girl that was explaining how to do them said to use a setting lotion and she recommended a couple of products, she also said to use some sort of hair oil. I didn't have anything!!! So I said let me see what I can use as substitutes. I grabbed some olive oil  and some braid setting lotion. BAM! We got action! 
 So I took my products, sat in front of my mirror and got to twisting. It did not take long at all. I still have alot of permed hair and about an inch of new growth, so I don't know if it will turn out right. Keep ya fangas (fingers) crossed. I wanted to take pictures while I was doing it but the batteries died in my camara as I was about to take the pic. But I am picking up some batteries tomorrow and will definitely post some pics. Don't laugh now if  I 'm standing  there cheezin' in the pic and there ain't a crimp, twist or twirl in my head. LOL. Just kidding you can laugh cause I will be.

In The Beginning

Okay I am ready yall. Here is a picture of me today. Now yall I am not a big fan of close up pics so just ignore the fact that I am wearing no make-up, and why my right eye is black I don't know Lol. Anyway I actually cut about 2 inches off last week, trying to get myself motivated about this big change. My last perm was July 26, so this Sunday marks exactly 2 months.

I have about an inch of new growth  in the middle of my head. The sides are all still straight, which lets me know that this is going to be a long road to my desired hairstyle.

I want so bad to just chop the permed hair off and leave the new growth, but I just don't want to be walking around here chickened out, lol. I mean I can wear wigs and stuff but I am so ready for this to just happen.

I am so excited about doing this and hope that those that are following me, get inspired to  do the same. Hey I am your genie pig, you will learn some do's and don't from my blog. I just hope the don't's won't be too extreme. Wish me blessings. I need them.
