METRO CITY CURLY: November 2013

Hey loves,

Ive gotten a ton of emails about my shaved side so I figured why not write up a quick post about it..

OK! If you aren't aware back in July I shaved the left side of my head for my birthday and I instantly fell in love.

IT WAS EDGY..
IT WAS COOL..

JULY 2013

IT WAS TEMPORARY..

AUGUST 2013

My last cut was in August right before my interview for my new job and I was practically bald on one side of my head..

Since my last cut Ive grown about an inch of hair. I have enough now to slick down with some gel if I want to get fancy.

How do you wear your hair?????

For the most part I wear a part down the middle and no one even notices that my hair is missing. If I decide to do a twist out or braid out I make those twists on that side smaller so after I take them out it is extra fluffy

Have you noticed any change in your hair????

Its still to short to see my curl pattern. The left side is naturally a lot looser and more wavy than curly than the right side so I am interested to see if it will grow in curlier than before.

How are you maintaining your hair????

I really don't do anything differently - no special oil, vitamins, or rituals.. its hair it will grow back!

HEY LOVES,

I am such a terrible blogger.. I haven't sat myself down in WEEKS to write out these posts but I have been trying new things and new styles and I have sooooooooooooo much to put out there!

My OCTOBER CURLBOX WAS A WIN!!!!!!! WIN!!!!!!!!! WIN!!!!!!!!! WIN!!!!!!!!!!

Like honestly, I loved everything I've used so far from my box.

I got SEVEN DAY HAIR *squeals* from a B.A.C. using one product from my October CurlBox..

This month I received:

NuNaat Natural Curl Activator
Carol's Daughter Hair Milk refresher spray
Hydratherma Natural protein balance leave-in conditioner
Be-Natural Samples
10% off Nunaat purchase that expires 11/30/13 nunaatonline.com use code "RM"
20% off hydratherma naturals coupon that expires 12/1/13 at www.healthyhairjourney.com use code "CB10"

So y'all already know how I do -- I stash the samples for emergencies and use the full bottles.

Carol's Daughter Hair Milk refresher spray...

It does what it is suppose to do. I wouldn't go out on a rant and say this is the best refresher spray and I fell in love BUTTTTTTTTTTTTTT it wrks! My hair was refreshed. I used this on wet hair straight out the shower as a leave-in and on dry hair - both ways wrk'd for me.

OVERALL EXPERIENCE SCORE -- B

Its light and airy. It doesn't have any of the NO NO stuff in it. I believe it is curly girl friendly (don't quote me on that). It will refresh and plump up dry hair.

So why B and not an A?

I don't get the hype.. I THINK you can get the same things from misting your hair with water. I THINK that half of the naturals proclaiming their love for this product jst wanted a shout out on IG from CurlBox. *side eye*

The star of the box for me was the NUNAAT!!!!!!!!!

1st of all terrible name right? what the hell is a Nunaat????

No Lie.. My hair was like curliness personified! That was my fiercest most favoritiest flat twist out ever. I got so many compliments and I got SEVEN DAY HAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nunaat Curl Activator..

I washed my hair and sprayed my new fave (review soon) and decided to give the Nunaat a whirl -- it reminds me of gel but its way too loose to be considered a gel. The fragrance is faint and it doesn't linger.

I wish I could explain how it IMMEDIATELY broke down my hair and I was detangling and twisting in no time.. it was amazing!!! I will warn you not to use too much bcuz it will dry and leave a white flake -- other than that I have no complaints.
