So, back in 2009 I contemplated giving up the creamy crack, the perm, the relaxer. I hadn't seen the actual hair that grows out of my head (more than few inches) in over 20 years. I went back and forth and finally decided to get my hair cut short in Jan 2010 and go from there.
It's been a love affair, getting to know my natural hair. I may straighten it with a flat iron in the future (once or twice) but I love love love my curly hair and have come to appreciate it. These days if I have what I think is a bad hair day, I grab a stretchy hair band and push the hair back into a cute puff and keep going.

Date: 2011-07-20 04:43 am (UTC)This last Christmas I made a rich, fluffy white hand cream that moisturizes deeply but soaks in quickly without leaving a greasy feel for the ladies at work. It uses only coconut oil, water, baking soda and stearic acid or stearine (found in hobby stores with the candle making supplies). It takes maybe 10 minutes to make, costs pennies and makes a nice large batch. If you want the recipe just let me know. It's actually quite suitable for use in hair, too.
