I have my hair in braids mostly (its just easier for me and I know that if I have it in braids I won't be tempted to relax it).
I've learnt a few things over these past months about my hair
- My hair is THICK - my hair was thick when it was relaxed but I guess I underestimated how much a relaxer was thinning out my hair... I had to buy another afro pick attachment for my blowdryer.
- Definitely had to part ways with my hairdresser, if your hairdresser complains about your hair being too thick and her advice to you is to 'relax your hair' even though you have explained what your hair goal is - take your money and go elsewhere.
- Never knew I actually could have curls - they're like tight little ringlets. Cute
- My hair has grown. It grows... I was scared that I'd cut it all off and I'd still have no hair but it's making progress
- Youtube videos are my friend... so many tutorials or encouraging hair journey videos to watch.
wow cuz this is too weird. I just big chopped on wednesday!!! Had no idea you were on the natural tip. This is encouraging to see. Your hair looks fab. Stay blessed. Lov ya! xxxx Tolu
ReplyDeleteAwww I smiled when I saw this! Yeah my hair is getting there :) I think everyone can be natural, its really just about being patient, eek I'm going to have to speak to you - wanna know more about your big chop! XXX
ReplyDeleteI couldn't do a big chop, but once I stopped relaxing, my relaxed ends fell out anyways but luckily my fro grew in very quickly. (I actually couldnt believe my hair was naturally curly lol) its been about 29 months for me...and i dont regret ever going natural. And if i didnt have youtube im sure I would have been tempted to go back to the relaxer...there's so much help and support on there
ReplyDeleteyour hair looks great btw (:
