Hair cut update

Day 4.  I like it.  This morning my hair looked a bit better with some leave-in in it.  My terresentials should arrive soon, so we'll see if that helps add a bit of moisture.  I don't know what that weird line in the picture is. 

Hello there my lovelies~

So, it's day 4 of my new hair cut and I thought I'd give you all a quick update.  I still really like my hair cut.  The cut is a bit boyish and not exactly what I envisioned, but I still really like it.  I think that the cut fits me well. 

So far I have learned one big thing.  I still have no idea what to do with my hair :-/  Well, maybe I should rephrase that.  I don't remember what to do with my hair when it's short.  I have been trying to do my normal things (spraying with H2O at night, using Shea butter, co-washing once a week or less) and what I am finding out is that those things work for long hair but short is a whole different animal. 

So, my journey isn't going exactly as expected, but I'm still enjoying it.  I am getting to learn my hair all over again and being reminded of my true inner beauty.  I dont' think a lot of people like my hair, but I'm finding myself to be quite okay with that.  I am still the same Shayna I was last week and anyone who liked me last week and doesn't today......oh well.....that's their hang up not mine.  I think that's my new motto, "that's their hang up not mine." 

Anyhoo, this morning I did a lemon juice rinse (3 parts H20, 1 part lemon juice) and then co-washed with Aubrey Island Naturals.  After conditioning I put my Cantu leave-in in, shook my head (a remembered trick from the past) and let my hair air dry.  I liked the results, although my hair isn't as moisturized as I'd like. 

So, what do you all use for moisture?  Help a natural newbie (sort of) out. 

Tootles for now!
