Si I’ve been relaxer free since May1 I am actually feeling healthier. Everyone likes my hair and I have gotten all positive comments and nothing negative. My hair is really soft and silky too now that I am using more natural products and moisturizing more often. I’ve watched many YouTube videos about natural hair and I’ve joined the Napptureality site. I visit a lot of natural hair blogs too. I also started a Fotki to share natural hair photos. Things are going great and I’m really loving my hair!

So right now I have about an inch and a half of new growth. Right now I’m styling my hair in curls so it actually looks like an afro. I used henna in my hair for strength and I’m doing hot coconut oil treatments. My hair is moisturized and looking really good. I don’t have to wait until my hair grows out before wearing it in a natural style. I feel great!
I have given up on finishing “Forgotten Africa: An Introduction to its Archaeology” by Graham Connah. I chose this book from the library because I wanted an introductory book about Africa. There were other books int he library, some were multi-volume references, and some were too old. I liked this one because it was an introduction and it was only 179 pages of reading. But it starts from the time of cave men and the whole thing is based on artifacts. Its not really about people. I found it hard to keep the dates straight. It wasn’t about historical events at all. So I read 101 pages and then decided I wanted to read something else. So if you want to learn something about African history, I don’t think it will help to read from an archeological perspective. Its really boring and not what I wanted. I guess someone studying archeology would love it.
