I'm currently wearing my hair in a roller set. At night I usually braid it in cornrows all going back or in 5 or 6 lose large twists to keep it from tangling at night. I then wrap it up in a satin scarf and sleep on a satin pillow. The curls are holding up pretty well. I was wearing my Adidas sweatsuit reminiscent of Run DMC. It's my favorite relaxing around the house outfit.

This is my hair right after I washed it. It's still wet and shrunken in its most natural state. I just love how my hair can shrink up to ear length (sarcasm). I can't wait until my hair is at my shoulders shrunken. I may start wearing wash and go's then. I currently use the Mane n Chic no towel, no t-shirt, no paper towel method to dry my hair. After I get out the shower I either put on a plastic cap or wrap a towel around my neck. Then I'll style it while wet.

One of my new ambitions is taking better care of my hair and retaining length. I have been natural for 4 years but this is the first time I have made a conscious effort to take better care of my hair. I have set a short term goal of getting to armpit length hair by January 2011. My ultimate goal is to be at least bra strap length by January 2012.  I will be updating my blog as to what I am doing to my hair to get to this goal. I started this healthy hair journey in August 2010. I haven't straightened my hair since January 2010 so this is the most recent picture of my straightened. I won't be straightening my hair again until January 2011.  But in the meantime I'll update my blog as to the styles and products that I'll be trying.
