Curly hair one year challenge

I had posted earlier about my curly hair journey.  IT HAS BEEN A YEAR THIS WEEKEND! I had vowed to give it a year to really focus on how to take care of it by finding techniques, strategies and products that would enhance it. After being chosen to be a DEVA Curl model October 2013 and really learning so much about my hair this is when I really learned how to do it. The Curly Girl Handbook was great for info, motivation and hair recipes. I love the lavender oil hair spritzer recipe. I use it daily.  The hardest thing to get used to was having my hair so wet after the process I have the Deva Curl microfiber towel and the  Deva hair drying gloves is much more gentle on my  hair than a bath towel.  The Deva clips are so much better because they are longer which works great for my thick hair and helps to give that lift so the weight of your hair doesn’t flattened the top of it down.  I got a fantastic Christmas present from my sister which is the Deva Blow Dryer and Diffuser. I usually don’t like to blow dry my hair and prefer to just let it dry naturally but some days you need a quick dry and go. I will say there were times and days that my hair just had a mind of it’s own. Those were the pull it back or wear a hat days! But I didn’t feel guilty or angry about it. I just started over and learned something new each time. With the investment of the Deva curl products ( which I decided to use) it wasn’t as expensive as I thought once I got the hang of it. I had lots of reactions: from wow your hair looks great, let me touch it, it is so thick and healthy, you look so much younger, what did you do to your hair and some even saying it looks better up. 🙂 But the bottom line is how do I want my hair and what is most comfortable to me. I challenge you to do the same. Will you accept?
