Words of encouragement for the natural girl

Today a coworker of mine advised me not to ever put chemicals (by this she meant perm/relaxer) on my hair because my hair was beautiful as it is. I must say this made my day and may continue to make me happy tomorrow. I often feel less attractive with my natural hair than I did with my artificially straight hair. I wonder if guys don't like me because my hair is "nappy". I am always sure that extended look at my new attempt at hair styling is disapproval.
I suggest offering kind words to those natural girls/ladies in your life. We need them. Some words from myself:

No you don't look like you did before, this doesn't mean you aren't still beautiful. Loving yourself is more important than approval from others. If that guy doesn't like you because of your hair, he is not worthy. Everyone in your life will not love or even like your hair, but that is okay you don't like everything they wear or try either.

What to do with that 'fro day 2

So still experiencing the buzz from being so self sufficient ( I attempted to look up a style on Youtube on Wednesday and the site wouldn't load for me. I had to think of my style all on my own) I tried again. This time I aimed to keep the bump smaller and the back more smooth. This time I pushed back the front and twisted it and secured with bobby pins, again I pulled back the back section of my hair this time going down toward the nape of my neck.

Tools used: Water, gel, leave in conditioner, Bobbie pins and ponytail holder. 

What to do with that fro

So I awoke on Wednesday with a day old chunky twist out and wondered what can I do with this? I decided to style the front in a pompadour/bump and pull the back into a high "ponytail". I was trying to minimize the amount of exposure my hair gets to the elements as well.

To achieve this I wet y hair with a spray bottle full of water, added some leave in conditioner and a little Eco-Styler gel. I brushed the front back achieved the desired look and then added the necessary amount of bobby pins. For the back, since my hair is so thick I used my Tangle Teaser to get the hair as high and smooth as I could.

Tools used: Bobbie pins, water, leave in conditioner, pony-tail holder, gel

New styling attempt

This past Sunday was my typical twisting day, alas I didn't have the energy to sit for the hours it takes to properly do my twists. I decided to wash and go in the morning for work. This has never really worked for me as I am not a huge fan of my 'fro as a style. So I did a roll with a pompadour on one side and a big two strand twist on the other. I finished this style with an off center ponytail. Look at me styling on the fly :)

The evolution of my 'fro

My how my 'fro has grown! It has been almost two years since I last relaxed my hair and a year since I cut the last of the relaxed ends off.... Look at the evolution
