So I Pressed...

Yes, the photo that you see was my pressed Natural this week. Of course, I tried it myself and had my famous blown afro. So, I visited my Natural stylist, Erica, and she hooked me up without hesitation. I paid her an extra $10 because it looked so good. The look lasted for 2 1/2 days and then I pressed it again. To my amazement, I didn't suffer any curl loss or anything. My hair felt more fuller than before. I enjoyed my hair...it was fun! Everyone thought it was a wig. The question everyone wants the answer to is: What are you doing next week with your hair? Let's see...it's Thanksgiving week and I want my fiance to be happy. Maybe, pressed??? Btw, he totally LOVEDDDDDDDDD my pressed hair. You all know that he loves it straight. (Read earlier posts) I was glad to please him and my parents. Yes, I told Dad that his princess was back for the moment. It feels good to be Natural and able to rock my tresses as I feel without chemicals. I am so glad that I am Natural!!! From 'fros to two-strand twists to twistouts to a pressed look is awesome. Everyone is happy!

I exhale.................

Fierce Fro Action

Yesterday after my shampoo & conditioner, I decided to treat my fiance to something a little different. I know he wants me to go back to my locs, BUT, I would like to keep things the way it is (fros and twists). Therefore, I daydreamed about my banana clip and BAM! The outcome was better than I expected simply because I can pull my hair back! Yes! Finally, now, Lord, please continue to bless my hair with growth and health, in Jesus Name, Amen! I had fun with this style and I am still rocking it today. My man did not like it too much because I have my hair changing ALL the time. His actual statement: "I got used to seeing you with side-swept bangs and hair tucked behind your ear. And then you cut it all off. Then you were loccing it. Now you have it big and all stuck in the 70's era. Don't talk to me about your hair, because my say-so doesn't matter. Talk to your Twitter friends." Do you believe that?? Wow....... Anywho, Mom loves this look and I believe it's her fav (according to my sis).

Before I go, I was in Walmart last night and two of the workers commented on this look. One was an older Caucasian woman and the other a young, transitioning Sister. Respectively, the compliments were, "You look nice" and "How long have you been Natural? I like your hair and I am debating whether to Big Chop or just transition." For the latter, I spent time giving her answers to her questions and it felt great! I love this life of mine, you all. I make a difference as a Christian and Natural Sister. You gotta love it! To God be the glory!

Be blessed and favored!
