I would like to introduce myself. My name is Keanna and I am 24 years old. I am maried and have two children who are awesome. Aliana, my daugter will be four years old in a few short weeks. I also have a son named Isaiah, who is two. I love being a mommy and I am OBSESSED with having healthy hair....which is why I started this blog.
I know that there are lots and lots of "healthy hair journey" blogs online, but this one is special. I will be writing about my path to beautiful, luscious hair...and my beautiful, crazy mommy moments. I hope you enjoy reading this :).
I started my healthy hair journey a few weeks ago on June 20, 2011. My journey started completely by accident. I was getting ready to take my (first ever) sew in down. It had been in for about two months. I had NO IDEA how to take it down, so I got on YouTube and searched "How To Take Down a Sew In". The video I found most helpful was by a girl who had lots and lots of videos on her channel entitled, "Natural Hair Growth Show".
After I watched her video on sew in takedowns, I noticed all the other videos on the sidebar from the Natural Hair Growth Show. There were videos about "Regimine Building" and "High Protein Diet for Long Hair", and "How I Steam and Clarify". It sounded like something interesting, because I've always wanted hair past my shoulders for years. So I checked out her videos. At first, all I could focus on was her awesome english accent, but then I started actually listening to what she was saying. I couldn't believe it. The key to having long, strong, African American hair was having a "Regimine" and maintaning proper moisture and protein balance? Huh? That sounded like a stretch to me. But when I started looking at more and more videos of black women using great products and having ridiculously long and healthy looking hair, I knew I HAD to start a journey of my own. How could I not???!!
I have naturally and extremely THICK coarse hair, probably a 4b. My roots are very tightly curled, like "little springs" (<--- as my friend, Feefee would say). I have had a relaxer in my hair since I was 14, but I don't think I've had a touch up in about 5 months or so. So I guess I'm stretching. But not for long! My sister is going to texlax my hair using the Just For Me Texture Softener with Sunflower Oil pictured here:
Talk to you in a week! xoxoxo
