Black Pearl Creation’s Blog

On a whim, this past weekend, I decided to cut half of my hair off. I can’t truly say it was on a whim because I knew me and my hair needed it. I colored it a light brown about 6 weeks ago and my hair has been dry since. I cut it because I was tired of thin, lifeless looking hair. My hair always stopped growing once it reached my shoulder blades. Then it just said, “Ok, we are stopping here, forever!” I was already determined to have gorgeous natural hair but know it seems like I just have moss on my head.

My hair was never the kind to curl and coil in its natural state. My hair was trained under the pressing comb. As I got older, pressing combs and curling irons were how it was controlled. Very rarely was a relaxer put on my hair. What my relaxed hair is doing now is what my natural hair does.

So, here I sit in New Hampshire, where very few sisters are natural. You should have seen the looks I got with my twist out over the weekend! My salon owning girlfriend loved it and told me to keep it up. But you know how it is, once you get home, alone – the pity party starts. Now I brought the pity party to my job and need some serious help and ideas. Don’t get me wrong. Nappturality is a great website but I feel a bit lost and overwhelmed and I’ll admit, I want some personalized attention! LOL

The twist out just isn’t working for my hair. My hair is thin. I have about 3 or so inches of relaxed, colored hair. I was thinking about the BC but my cheeks wouldn’t take to kindly and I’ll look like I gained weight instead of lost it. I don’t mind trying products but I don’t know what to use. I am using some items from Neosoul Essentials . Is that enough, do I need more?

That’s my pity party in a nutshell! Feel free to join me!
