Now that I’ve found products that work, I think things are going great! I alternate Aveda’s Be Curly Shampoo and Curl Junkie’s Daily Fix. I use Curl Junkie’s Beauticurls Strengthening Conditioner as a rinse out and the Beauticurls Leave-in. I twist/braid my hair wet and seal with Qhemet Biologics Burdock Butter Root Cream. Other than the spray bottle of Aphogee leave-in (which I used for the braid-out in the picture), I haven’t made a purchase for a minute. Granted, I haven’t felt comfortable enough to actually wear my hair like this out of the house yet … but one step at a time.

I’ve also started working out again … twenty-five push ups every night with my play sister (who lives near Savannah). Thank God for phones and skype! I plan on easing back into running and yoga starting on Monday.

I go for my trim next week … we’ll see how much she has to take off. Pray for me.
