Kim says, ‘I did this for me, I did this because it was time for me to be free. I did this because it was time for me to look in the mirror and accept myself as I was. And I’m glad I did it. And I don’t condemn anyone who hasn’t done it, won’t do it or can’t do…
As the Grow Out Challenge draws to a close, Kim filmed a video to share about her gorgeous curls; Recorded this in late March, 2011 on my 3 monthaversary (SOOOO not a word!) but you get the point. Sorry that I am JUST getting this out.I describe my natural hair ritual at that time.I’ve made changes and thank goodness it…
Long overdue? Sorry. But I’ve been super busy, super tired, and also wanted to make sure I genuinely liked the routine before posting! In sum, I ‘do’ my hair once a month, bi-weekly at most.

I then washed (with Elucence), and deep conditioned (with Jessicurl WDT) in the twists. Finally, after air drying for 20 minutes, I divided the bigger twists into smaller ones using Jessicurl TooShea….

During this 6 month journey, I will challenge myself to: (1) Compartmentalize my life and learn to be present(2) Eat healthier, minimally processed foods, and resume my regular work out routine(3) Achieve the BIGGEST hair I can- keeping more strands and retaining length break,…
