My Journey Back to My Natural Hair Texture

After years and years of damaging my hair... directly and indirectly it's time to return to my natural hair texture. Disclaimer: All images found on nolye14.tumblr.com are not my owe. Nevertheless, the journey is the same even if the cast is different.

What will you find on my IG page... my work, a nugget or so of yours truly living her BEST life (with the opportunities and resources at my reach), and just all around positive vibes. Therefore, if you're not here for it... be blessed. AuthorRN was created to connect with my readers. AND if I'm just that lucky (btw: Happy St. Patrick's Day)... my hope is to gain new readers as well. Now that we have the house rules behind us, let's connect! #authorRN #positivevibes #shewrites #veganlippie #dispatcher #bookclubs #letsconnect #workingwife #girlswithlocs #StPatricksDay #author #Justme #itsSaturday

Feeling refreshed, after 3 months of allowing my locs to lock. I finally was able to get a shampoo and deep conditioner.

Omg, my scalp is was on fire. I did the "dip". Dip is baking soda and apple cider vinegar in a bowl (or the like). Then dip your head and massage the solution throughout the scalp. I would post the residue but it was not cute.

"How is your book doing?" or "How many copies have you sold?" are questions for a salesman. To a writer, you better ask "What did you write today?"~Shubham Choudhary ~Up Close & Personal~ #authorRN #justme #shewrites #locjourney #pleased #book #writeTODAY #writinginspiration
