TWA in Public!
So my nightly routine gave me wonderful results with my issue with moisture and knitted hats and big earrings really jazz up your TWA. I wore my first finger curl to work today and I got many compliments! I have to admit I was pretty nervous and I feel like now that everyone has seen my natural hair, me wearing my wigs would be to... obvious and I don't want to seem ashamed... which I am not! (: I just might get some kinky twist as a protective style for a while. I believe this will keep my mind off wondering if it is growing or not. It's only been 3 days and I length check every 5 mins! This is a wonderful learning experience for me, I am finding it easier each day to not worry about what others think of me and how I should or shouldn't look. I am beautiful, and so is my hair!

New Night Routine
Two nights ago I went to sleep with two corn rows down the sides of my head with the ends tied in rubber bands... Tonight, there are no braids, no rubber bands, not even a part to be made. So what kind of method can I introduce to my hair during the night to keep it hydrated? I have been doing much research prior to this milestone and considered doing my first "baggy".
Steps:
1. co-washed with Beauty4Ashes Max Moisture & Gro Conditioner
2. saturated my hair with Cantu Shea Butter Leave-in Conditioning Repair Cream
3. used a wide tooth comb to stretch curls and make sure product is evenly through hair
4. with my BioINFUSION Olive Oil Shine Serum in the palm of my hands, I ran my hands
over the TOP of my curls to seal the ends
5. placed plastic bag over my head and placed a headband tightly to hold it down (around my forehead)
6. folded the access bag back to ensure coverage of the nape area, and covered all with a cotton head scarf. (since my hair wasn't exposed I didn't feel the need to use a silk one, and the cotton would stay put through the night
And that's it!
