Thanks! It's not as soft as I'd like right now but I hear that's normal. Any suggestions for combating it?

Moisture, moisture, moisture.....My hair started to get soft and hold moisture better around the one month post BC. I was cowashing 2-3 times a week and deep conditioning weekly. Back then I didnt know about baggying....wish I did.

yea i agree with Lynnieluve^^^ I co wash daily and deep condition every Sunday..in the morning i refresh my flat! twa with my favorite moisturizer from Shea moisture the curl enhancing smoothie, then spritz my hair with water/glycerin mix..glycerin draws moisture from the air and never leave my twa dry..

oh yea and i stop using eco styler gel this week and switch to Curls Goddess curl..I LOOOVE it..its a natural gel like KCCC but only cost $8 and gives the same look eco and KCCC does..but it leaves my hair soft and doesn't dry out my hair

I feel better knowing it's normal and will change back. I've baggied every other night and I think it's helping. I just wish it was softer. It seemed to change all of a sudden.

Where did you get the Curls Goddess stuff? I've gotta try that glycerin.

they just stared selling it at target (near the miss jessi and shea moisture products)!! I was so excited because I hate ordering off the internet

Hi Curly Chef Robin you are rocking your TWA I loved the pictures from the wedding. I recently did my BC too an while I was a little shell shocked after it , I now feel so confident and I cannot keep my hands out of my hair . And like some others have said I think it's cool you are a chef too can't wait too hear more about that and get some recipies. I stay on food blogs and yelp.com lol ! I have wanted to be a chef for a while now but as a mom it's not that easy for me to get into rigth now but I'm still going to try one day ! So knowing that others are out there doing it serves as a great inspiration !

Wow!! I've been away too long!! Congrats on the BC!! Your hair looks lovely!!

Thanks so much!!! Love you avi and hair!! You are beautiful! I haven't had a chance to check out the recipe section on here but I plan to so that I can post! I now own my own business because being in the kitchen was just too hard. The hours were horrible and I was missing my son grow up. I teach cooking classes and I'm a personal chef now and I love it!!!

Thank You for the compliment made my day ! I can definatley relate to what your saying about the hours in a kitchen that's one of reasons I have not worked in one yet , but I would one day like to do something food related maybe catering .I love the idea of having a schedule that does not put my mom duties on the back burner ! Thank you for sharing !

Robin! Looking great! You did it! Are you feeling as liberated as you appear in the photos? love it!

Cooking in very interesting and I love it. Just not the hours. Most careers in food put family on the back burner so you have to be SUPER creative, which is why I started my own business. Most people need people to cook during family times. Just be aware. However, follow your dreams and passions!!!

Thanks Natty!

Some weekend hair pics. My curls are poppin!!! The white stuff is the KCCC that hadn't dried. Anyone else have that problem?

Yup! I usually just wipe it out with my t-shirt towel if it's really bothering me. (oh I'm talking about KCCC)

I am sooo late!!
But congrats on the BC
YOU LOOK GREAT!!!

Hi Robin...

So I missed the famous Big Chop!!! You did it and it looks GREAT!!! You will see a change in your curls in a month like Lynn said. I think you are doing a great job caring for your hair...and your curls are really popping!!

KCCC takes forever to dry. I saw a YouTube video where the makers of KC put a young lady under the dryer for 30 minutes. Her hair came out too cute!!

Congratulations and now the journey begins!!!

Thanks! I'll try that. I'm hoping with will get better once my hair starts holding more moisture.
