The Tightly curly method

So it's been the seventh month without relaxing or straighting my hair and I'm loving the results.  Not sure why I damaged my hair so much in the past. But we live and we learn and I will not use any chemicals on my hair again.


I'd been worried about styling as we all know how hectic it is to style a fro especially if it's dry and we don't know what to do with it. But with modern times there is so much to do with your Afro.  This is how I came across the site tightlycurly.com.  The lady, Terry, who started this method has some really great hair tips and this is just another one of the many ways to style your Afro.  I'm loving this method, this is my second attempt at the tightly curly method and it's great.  It's easy to maintain and my hair isn't drying out as much.

I'm not following it to the T. I pick and choose products that suit me and I love. She does mention products to stay away from one of them which is Henna. Unfortunately for me  I use Henna to cover the greys that have started to show up at the back of my head. It is the only natural dying product that doesn't contain ammonia or peroxide. It won't damage your hair. The one I use isn't drying and I add skimmed yogurt, a bit of olive oil and honey to prevent my hair from drying out. My hair is doing great and if you ever need any styling tips for your Afro, check out Tightly curly.

You might just love it like I do.
