Ugh Pills Are Yucky!!!!!!

OMG!!!! I never ever ever ever like taking any sort of type of pills, but considering that I have to things totally different when it comes to taking care of my hair as well my health, guess I will have to get pass my negativity view on pills. So I decided yesterday I would start back taking the "Women's one a day" vitamins considering I am always catching a cold or feeling sick (my immune system is so goofy and I EAT HEALTH TOO, but Idk guess that must not be good enough lol) anyways so I went ahead and purchased them as well the Biotin 1000mgs. I want to grow healthier hair as well, and after during some research on the Biotin I had read the positive things and as well the negatives (you know there always has to be a downfall when taking any supplement.) Anyway I came across some YouTube videos and many of the ladies had mention that they too have included Biotin in their natural hair journey (that doesn't mean everybody needs to or that you need to either unless you want to). But I want to grow a longer length and I want it to be more stronger and healthier and mostly everyone said that Biotin really helps. So I went ahead and purchased the two which wasn't too bad the prices are no more than 6-7 dollars, online the prices are a little ridiculous. I'm all about saving anyway I can so you know I had to check within the stores first. So I started taking them today and let's just say if you plan on including both in your daily routine you MUST I mean MUST increase your water intake because too much of Biotin or any vitamin can lead too some side effects. So don't forget to double the amount of water your consuming the only annoying thing about it is you will definitely be using the restroom alot lol peeing like a running faucet, but that's just the extra vitamins being removed that your body doesn't really need that's all. I don't mind that as long as my skin don't break out (which can happen ONLY though if your not drinking enough water) that is why I said you have to double the amount you already take or if you don't drink alot of water you night want to get in practice and start because you are definitely going to need it.

That is my pill popping story for now, well since I just started both of them today I will come back in 2 weeks and give the good, bad, and truth and well my thoughts on both of them.

Thanks for checking in feel free to leave your opinions, questions, and concerns.

Till next time.... Peace

Love your hair journey/new beginning

Going Cold Turkey To The "Creamy Crack"

Welcome, welcome, welcome thank you for tuning in and showing your faces to my lovely website. My name is Porsche and I have decided to go natural off and on for about 2years now. However as of August 7th 2013 I decided to give it my all or nothing. As months start passing by I realize I haven't been going to the beautician to get my relaxer. Now I always go every 6 months (Which is twice a year to get my touch ups) but after my last visit to the salon I was discuss my hair with my beautician and she's like "honestly you really don't need to get a relaxer you hair is can live with out." My thoughts where "nooooooooo, she kidding I know she not trying to deny my services lol " and "Oh no my hair w/o a relaxer is even way more thicker and too difficult to manage!!!" Unt unt no way "ain't nobody got time for that!!!!" Haha (I just had to say it). Anyways after that visit somehow, someway I ended up slowly forget about making hair appointments, and another thing I have even stop using my flat iron since then too. Funny I know right, but just last month I was like "I really think I'm just going to go ALL natural no ifs, ands, or buts, about it plus o know it's more healthier for my hair. NOT TO SAY RELAXING YOUR HAIR IS WRONG, I mean it is what it is but just speaking on my hair that's all.

With that being said, I as of today my last relaxer was 6 months and 24 days. (Yea which is what I'm use to since as I said before I always been getting a touch up every 6 months) So this isn't too bad it's just I definitely can tell the difference in my hair it has become way more thicker at the top the new growth just keep popping up here, there, and over there lol. Just imagine a head full of big puff ball at the top, you know how us ladies look when I new growth tries to creep on in. Be trying to lay it down with anything in sight. Grease, gel, headbands, scarfs, etc. Haha but not me well for the most part, I just keep it pin up in a loose ponytail (with a headband glol). So I been doing plenty of research on my wavy journey, I have been going Google crazy with that search bar for like a month. Reading reviews and forums on other women of color who are also in the process of going natural or have been natural. Reading the ups and Downs, the tears and joy, and so on about becoming natural. I myself personally think it's a beautiful experience (if I can just stay consistent ) only reason I was not consistent two Years ago because of the negative looks and comments I received it really had made me Shut down and be ashamed of my real texture of hair Which I turn right back to that creamy crack lol and had to have the relaxer. Lately my whole outlook on my decision this time around has been "SCREW YOU THIS IS MY HEAD NOT YOURS" sorry ladies but that's what my mindset has been I no longer care about what everyone else thinks I have been more focus on loving whats real and whats all mine.

So let me just give you the 411 on my hair, it's about middle of my back and just last year I wanted to try something new so I decided to added a little color. I'm a jet black hair woman, so at first I was a little skeptical about it because that's how I was born I never had color in my hair. I didn't want anything that was over the top or way far from my complexion (I'm dark skin) so there's no way I should be trying walking around with pink, orange, blue hair.... com'on let's be real that just ugly, but anyways I didn't want my whole hair to be colored or highlighted. So I went with the ombre look just colors on my ends, it's like a mocha brown (I'll have to post pics). But after awhile I got bored with that lol and I stop getting them touch up as well, so slowly the color is leaving on my ends Which I don't mind at all because I'm trying to get rid of it anyway lol.

So what now.....whelp that's why you guys are here lol, I really just want some support because I kinda have been lost in trying to find out how I should maintain my hair considering I DON'T want to do the "big chop" and start from scratch instead I decided to take the "transitioning " approach and dealing with two textures let me just say has not been easy but I'm hanging in there. So if you have any suggestions, comments, or testimonials you like to share feel free to leave me a message. Thank you I appreciate it, also good to luck to you all who are on a hair journey as well a healthier life journey I wish you the best. Hang on in there, we are in this together. Peace.
