Previous entry: Kelis Natural Hair - Color Inspired

Why I went natural?! according to Christina J

My hair texture is dry and curly, when I was younger my mom would use African Pride and of course my hair was healthy and long. Low and behold when I got the privilege of doing my own hair I broke it all off. Using everything from Pink Moisture and World of curls I was greasy as hell, like that soul glow commercial from, “Coming back to America”!

Then when I started working I save up enough money to start getting my hair straighten and colored every two weeks, but that was a waste of money for me as my scarf I use to wrap my hair with always gave me migraines and my hair curled up the same day from taking a shower.

So I got a point where I didn’t care and just slap some gel on it and pulled it back into a bun, but that had my hair breaking off from the rubber band making an indentation in the same place every day.
The final straw was just starting all over and I had a Britney Spears moment and just cut all my hair off and was looking like a Puerto Rican boy for a while. (Sigh) I wish I could have rocked the bald look like Amber Rose and Eykah Badu but thank God for hats. So from that point on I knew I had to condition my hair with a product and that was leave in conditioner.

My routine to my healthy doo is washing my hair once a week, let it air dry and apply Jam gel and leave in conditioner and style. The following days it is just leave in conditioner until the next time I wash it.
