Define Your Curls on a Budget!!!

Here's how I define my curls with little to no cost. I don't use a lot of products (just by choice) and I think that I get pretty good results using the bare minimum.

Also, I just want to mention that the next morning shots are showing waaaaaaay too much skin for me and I did not have any other footage or pics to substitute in so I went ahead and used what footage I shot but I did want to mention that I am not happy with showing all of that skin (I'm from the old school) but I really did want to share this information so I went ahead and uploaded against my better judgement. Because I know how I am, I will say, just try to focus on the hair.

Enjoy the video!

Thanks for the information and speedy reply. I did the" Big Chop" last night myself braided it and this morning it looks ok. Had to do some more trimming. It did not hurt a bit lol. I will send some pictures. I'm 63 and have salt and pepper hair that gray hair fought me but I won!! It's a nice contras. I use to wear a short afro in the day so short hair is not a problem. I think by next month I'll be rocking this hair. Thank you and all my sisters who share and dare to be perm-free.

@cloverct - Congrats on your bc! Glad to hear that it was painless, because it definitely should be. I know the deal with those grays, they can be brutal, good job on winning that war too. Glad to hear that my vids were of some help to you as you begin your journey, and thanks for sharing with me.

Can you tell me what is co-wash? 

[naturalstronghair]

@cloverct - Sure, it's when you wash your hair with conditioner instead of shampoo. It helps to retain the moisture or add moisture to the hair versus stripping it of moisture with shampoo.

That looks great!! but you are not doing a two strand twist , looks like you are doing the three stand twist? is that what I'm seeing? I think for me that will work better thanks for the good information. Loving this here hair God gave us. LOL
