Sephora

Oh awesome! Thanks so much for the suggestion! I will definitely look into trying that one out! 🖤

Dang, @SportyGirly125 💕 I appreciate the insight!

@danielledanielle Good luck with your transition! I started mine in 2004 after spending my teens and 20s in relaxers, and I didn’t go the big chop route either. Back then, natural hair (aside from no-extensions braids) was uncommon in various parts of the US and YouTube didn’t exist, nor did many (if any) natural hair blogs/sites. It was so different from the state of things today. I’m glad you have access to tons of info on the topic—and waaay more products geared toward coily hair*—to help you on your journey! One thing I’ll recommend for dealing with double textured strands: if you have hard water and don’t have a water filter yet, go get one asap. You absolutely will snap off lots of relaxed ends (leading to splits that’ll run up into your natural strands) if you wash and rinse your hair with hard water, no matter how gently you handle your hair. That’s something I wish I’d known when I began my transition. 🤦‍♀️ And okay, one more thing—something you probably already know, but: don’t leave your hair in a protective style too long. “Too long” kinda depends on your particular hair and scalp, of course. For the first year of my transition, I lived in twist-outs. I’d wear twists for one day, then undo ‘em the next day and leave my hair out like that (it helped blur the visible line between my natural coils and relaxed hair), then lightly re-twist that night, then untwist the next morning. I fell into that routine after trying to keep my hair in twists for a week at a time and realizing my natural roots thought “oh, she must be trying to start locs! No problem!” Ah, those days when I was first getting to know my coils. 😅 I look forward to hearing how your tress trek’s going! *Sure, there have been products for curly hair for quite some time. But nowadays there are A LOT more of ‘em on the market. Some hairdressers insist kinky coily hair is no different from non-kinky curly hair; I’m not stepping into that debate. (Not today, anyway.) I’ll just say the explosion of natural/coily hair products has benefited the entire range of curly heads.

I love it @KamFray it's a super cute look. I love jeans and a nice top together. 😊 And it's not a busy look so if you're experimenting with new makeup it won't clash with anything you try. I hope you have a good experience with this outing. We're rooting for you 🌈🍀

@Ispend2much6 Beautiful packaging. The lip swatch is so pretty.

@Ispend2much6 Yummy! This looks delicious 😋
