When @hannoff12 began college, she started to straighten and brush out all her curls because she felt her curls made her “look less Asian.” It wasn’t until recently that she’s found the inspiration to try to learn and embrace her natural curls and I’m so proud of her! We’ve been talking back and forth in DMs on tips for where to begin transitioning hair that’s taken a lot of direct heat. My biggest tip for those who are transitioning with hair that’s used to the utilization of heat tools is to really focus on establishing a weekly deep conditioning and monthly protein treatment as well as encouraging hair growth. It’s highly likely that the use of heat tools has either damaged or altered the original integrity of shape and pattern, and sometimes the best way to revive it is a trim, lots of moisturizing love, and patience as the new hair grows out. What are your tips for Hannah when working with transitioning to more of a heat free lifestyle? #APICurls / Lips: @nudestix Nudies Bronze Stick in ‘Sunkissed’ + @versed Silk Slip Conditioning Lip Oil | @orcecosmetics Foundation in Kiko 050

This weekend I really had to commit myself to doing nothing but write. I’ve neglected doing this for a long time, making the excuse that I was always too mentally/emotionally exhausted from the day to have to go through the cycle of repeating what I had already gone through earlier through the process of writing in retrospection. But I figured that maybe the cycle I was experiencing could be broken if I really made the time to do it. And it turns out, I wasn’t far off from my hypothesis. Yesterday, I had a breakthrough while writing about my year, assessing if whether I accomplished any of my goals (which I did although I thought I didn’t), asking why things turned out the way that they did and analyzing what things really meant. I was quite mind blown once I reached that breakthrough moment, noticing very clearly how things were so much more aligned and purposeful to my growth than I previously thought. The world will work to conspire itself for you if you put it out there for the world to know. Believe that. 📷: @lynnz737

Already started using this @evolvebeautyuk ‘Radiant Glow Mask’ that I ordered from @credobeauty and I can’t get enough of the way my skin feels so much more smooth and moisturized after washing it off. This mask exfoliates thanks to a rich blend of raw cacao powder and clay with sugar and coconut granules. What’s most entertaining about this is that also smells like I have chocolate on me so I’m tempted to eat a spoonful of it! Mask is gluten-, alcohol-, and cruelty-free and vegan.
