I love God & my family. Some of my hobbies include; natural hair, music, fashion, and did I mention natural hair. I am the ultimate girlie girl; I love dressing up, doing hair, makeup, fashion and SHOES. I value family, life, embrace self acceptance and cherish the things God give me to steward. I am optimistic and also a skeptic. It cost absolutely nothing to be positive or negative, I choose to be positive. This blog will incorporate a mixture of things that I am most passionate about. The main focus is hair but I will throw other things in there every once in a while. Please feel free to comment and ask questions, I LOVE QUESTIONS! Since going natural I have been glued to my laptop, I enjoy networking with other naturals who share the same love and respect for natural hair. My goal is to reach waist length hair by Aug 23, 2013. Thank you for stopping by Peace & blessings. Happy growing!!!!

Trimming hair

Today I got my very first trim and it was needed. My ends were horrific,and styling was unpleasant because the overwhelming amount of fairy knots gave me goosebumps. Ladies never let this happen  to you, get rid of those knots immediately! I took off 1/4" last night after doing small braids, then went to my brothers barber shop this morning and had him finish, he took off another 1/4" so half an inch in total. I am all for trimming when it is necessary and now that my ends are smooth again I am happy, its like a breath of fresh air. Trim only when hair asks for it, not beacuse someone tells you to. Here are some signs to look for before considering a trim:


*ends are obviously split
*hair snags more than usual while combing
*fairy knots at end of hair

How often do you trim and how do you know when its time?
