I’m pleased to present another lovely new natural. Please meet Tia and be sure to check out her video below where she documents her 18 month transition:
Name:
Tia
Date of Last Relaxer:
01/11/10
Length of Transition:
about 18 months
Date of BC:
07/24/11
Favorite Style:
Twist out puff
Current Routine:
I wash my hair in sections every two weeks with a Giovanni Tea Tree
Shampoo. I then deep condition my hair with a combination of half
yogurt and half Jessicurl Deep Conditioning Treatment for 2-4 hours
without heat. As a leave-in conditioner I use half Kinky Curly Knot
Today and half Aloe Vera gel, then I seal with shea butter. I normally
put my hair in 12 twists and wear a twist out for a style. I retwist
my hair in between washes a week later.

Favorite Style:
I rock it the way it lays:) TWA
right before BC
Current Routine:
I co-wash a lot with my Creme of Nature Conditioner. I sometimes do
two strand twist, a day after I wash, it works better if my hair is
dry, since it is still so short. After I co-wash I put in Sebastian Potion #9 leave in conditioner and then spray some oils on my hair and
then seal it with Shea Butter.

“Just my TWA and twisties in the front.”
Current routine:
“I made my own grease with the shea butter I added coconut oil, vitamin e, avocado oil, shea butter oil, extra virgin olive oil, glycerin, and added some leave in cream of nature conditioner and all of this is in my spray water bottle and I use it all the time (before bed, wake up, during the day, before I style and after I style) and my hair has been growing….I can tell. I shampoo with kera care …that bottle cost $8 but I don’t need a lot with my twa lolol. Oh, I use the eco olive oil to style my hair everyday too. It really defines my curls.”
