Hey everyone, Meet Ibtihaj! After transitioning for 7 months, she did her Big Chop a little over 3 weeks ago. Current Hair Regimen: Ibtihaj uses a hot oil treatment once a week and cowashes with Vo5 Moisture Milk Conditioner. She also deep conditions with Creme of Nature leave-in conditioner. After applying the products, she uses the heating cap for 15 minutes. Favorite Products: Ibtihaj says she loves essential oils (especially Coconut Oil), water, Eco Styler  gel, and  Aloe Vera gel. But she is still searching for the best products for her hair.   Welcome to the natural world, Ibtihaj! Who else has recently B'Ced?

My cap matches my shirt! I didn't do that on purpose lol   Hey everyone, I hope you had a good day! If you didn't, please remember that God is still with you and it will get better :-) On to hair business... I have noticed that I am a little less anxious about playing in my hair. When I started transitioning , I was very anxious for my hair to grow.  I wanted to try new styles and washes.I also felt this way when I did my big chop. Now, I am a little over 7 months natural and I am finally calming down a bit lol. Please do not forget that I said, "bit" lol When I first did my big chop, I washed my hair religiously every week. Now, I wash my hair every week and a half to two weeks. I struggled with co-washing my hair today... My busy schedule adds to this also. Lesson learned this week: I've learned that you do not always have to try so hard for your hair to look good. I had been doing twist outs last week and a few times this week. One night, I was too ...

I have been doing twist outs all week.  I love the level of moisture in my hair by the end of the week lol Those of you with questions about hair type... I don't know my "hair type". I gave up on the "hair typing" a long time ago. I have many different textures of hair on my head. I am slowly but surely learning how to care for my hair.
