Introduce yourself . . .
Hey, My name is Briana and I am a 20 year old working mother of one that recently BC’d! I am not a product junkie by any means.
Are you relaxed, natural, texturized or texlaxed?
Natural!
What’s your story, how did you get to where you are?
I had been 90% natural since March 2012 with the exception of me relaxing a small portion of hair for the last time in July 2013 for a weave(affiliate link) that I wore to make my hair prep time easier. Biggest regret.
I finally decided to cut everything relaxed off on September 1, 2013
What is your typical weekly regimen?
I co-wash up to 5 times a weeks, always leaving in some conditioner once I am done. I alternate weekly with the shampoos.
Are you happy with your progress so far?
Very. I feel so much better about myself and the progress I have made to get my hair to a healthy state since I became natural last year.
What’s your signature style?
My TWA wash n go is my signature style at the moment.
How do you ensure that your ends are protected from the elements and your hands?
Oil sealant after moisture during the day and a silk scarf(affiliate link) for when I am at home.
Do you have a goal length or are you more concerned about the health of your hair?
My main concern is hair health but I am hoping to see some hair growth as time goes on.
Is there anything that you hair hates?
My hair hates shea butter(affiliate link) and most shampoos.
Do you have any favorite hair products?
Organix Biotin(affiliate link) and Collagen conditioner, coconut oil(affiliate link), aloe vera juice(affiliate link) and WATER!

I have become natural and I’m loving it…….
mmmmm
I am so glad I came across Briana’s story because I did the BS (big shave) about 2 weeks before she did. My hair is a little longer than hers now and I still love it. It was very curly and cute at first but as it grew out it became less curly unless I keep it moisturized. I love my TWA and deep condition it about once a week or every 2 weeks. I make sure it is always moisturized and use water along with Olive/Castor/Avocado oils. The odd thing is that the only product I have found that actually gives my hair moisture + beautiful curls is a leave-in called Hollywood Beauty with Olive Oil. It is green and comes in a large jar for under about $5. I also sleep in a disposable shower cap about 3 nights a week (GHE = green house effect), which I think has helped with my growth as my hair has grown remarkably well in only a few months. I love my short “do” even though I wear wigs when leaving the house, but am all me when at home.
