Hair Update: 3 Months…& giveaway!!
This series is where we stop talking about make-up to explore other areas of beauty and beyond. That’s anything! Hair, fashion, jacked up love lives..anything! Any suggestions? Let me know at Brittany@ClumpsOfMascara.com.
Remember when I cut off alllll of my hair? Oh yes, chicas, I did. Actually I did it once back in 2004 but my crazy self went and did it again. If you are new to Clumps of Mascara I’m sure you are used to my shorter hair but the truth is, the short fro is fairly new. 3 months ago I cut it off and due to requests, I have decided to do updates. Especially for those newly natural or transitioning ladies.
Here was the 1st Month Upate.
And here we are at 3 Months!
LENGTH at 2 Months
LENGTH at 3 Months
NEW PRODUCTS:
-Aveda’s Dry Remedy Treatment (eh…check the video for details).
-An amazing Poo Bar that Amina from Coup de Couer gave me.
-Ojon’s Revitalizing Mist.
REGIME: I co-wash once/twice a week with Trader’s Joe Conditioner. For moisture, I massage my scalp with a lavender, rosemary/cedar and olive oil blend. For daily “refreshing” I use my homemade blend of water, vegetable glycerin, lavender oil and conditioner. OR I use Oyin Handmade’s Juices and Berries.
OTHER: I still don’t use any combs, brushes or any other accessories. I do wear the occasional beanie or African head wrap AND always a satin night scarf to bed. I was going to re-color my hair again but I haven’t just yet.
I like my hair at this point. I liked it more at 2 months because I really could just get up and go but now I HAVE to actually run my fingers through it so it doesn’t look too messy. I have officially decided to loc my hair and am searching for a loctian in the Orlando area. Hopefully by next month I’ll be sporting beautiful locs and before I know it I will be a beautiful brown lady with a crown on my head like….
Just gorgeous. Click the link below to see the hair update: video version.

I would love it if you did reviews of hair products, especially for natural hair. I’m a fan of the Oyin Handmade line too.
Congrats on the decision to loc your hair! Welcome to the family! It’s a great way to wear natural hair. My locs are 3yrs. old and its the best thing I’ve ever done for my hair. Good luck w/the process.
i think tha locs would be gorgeous on ya! i love locs but i could never be brave enough to let mah relaxed tresses go natural lol
aaw..your hair is just gorgeous! I loove the coilies..your hair will lock in no time
Facepaint101 is also loving it 
more CV fans…yay!
I am so glad you like the CV poo bar
I believe you can also use it on locks by diluting it in water..
can’t wait to follow your loc journey.
Your hair has grown and time flies by too fast! it feels just like yesterday you cut your hair!
I would love to try on my luck for the titanium hair iron

Your hair is growing mighty fast, and looks great. I looked back at the longer hair pic and I think the short curlies fit you better.
Love the idea of introducing other topics.
I’m trying the opposite of adding beauty products to my blog.
Sooo…. What polish is that in the 3 month pic? Lol!
Ooh, I want to play! : )

WOW.. HUGE HOT< FIRE>> INSERT WORD HERE.. growth.. Love it.. I agree with the first commenter.. reviews on natural stuff…
I love your hair! My daughter, who is biracial, should wear her hair naturally, but she relaxes and straightens it!
She’d love to win this Hair Iron.
Thanks

yay for locs!! I could never though lol…
New to the blog and I’m loving it. This blog reminds me – I’ve been meaning to try the Trader Joe’s conditioner you mentioned here. I’ve been having much success with Cantu Shea Butter Leave-In, but I’m always down to try new stuff!
Anywho, I’m entering the giveaway!

You will look great and will also love the freedom of being locked. I have 1yr old sisterlocks and my youngest daughter has what they call rock locs. Both are maintained with a tool. My oldest daughter is a loose natural and this would be a great present for her when she wants to wear her hair straight. My husband has mandated that none of his girls go back to the cremy crack. Love your site – thank you for keeping us informed.

Oh, I wish I could do the locs…atleast I’ve stopped relaxing, though! lol
I just don’t think I could cut my hair. Since I stopped relaxing, it’s grown down to the middle of my back. I flat iron it every two weeks.
