I MADE A YOUTUBE CHANNEL!!

I'm so excited! So I know nobody reads this but my sister, but I don't care, I'm announcing this to the webiverse! I HAVE A YOUTUBE CHANNEL!

For a long time I've been wanting to make videos but wasn't sure I was ready. Not that you have to be a guru to make videos, but I do feel like you have to have a reason for creating videos. Either for people share in your journey, or for you to be offering advice about what you have learned about working with your texture.

So after speaking to some people on youtube, and making recording videos for my personal use for months and months (just to check in on my growth, and to remember how i did certain treatments) I decided to bite the bullet and just DO IT!.

So find my videos HERE

This picture is of my hair out with flaxseed/aloe/olive oil gel. I took my hair down from the cornrows they were in. Sprayed a bit of aphogee keratin treatment, then used my home made gel (in copious amounts) and i am currently letting it dry. So far, I am happy with the results.

I BOUGHT A HOODED DRYER!!

I feel like I just joined the "Serious-about-hair-care club"!!!

It's a Gold N Hot 1400-watt dryer. It's the table mount one. I was going to get a conditioning cap that you can walk around with, but I don't think I can use it for roller sets so I figured it's best to get this and get the other one (it's only like 25 bucks or so) at a later date!!

So excited to test it out!
