 ...my hair after washing it            I have been natural for 9 months. I have transitioned for 4 months before my big chop. During my time as a natural, I have learned a lot about my hair, and I know that the lessons will continue. Here's a list of the things that I have learned about my hair so far: 1. Simple is best: My hair does not like a lot of manipulation or products. The simpler the products/techniques, the better. Twist Outs are the best. Sometimes, I find myself going overboard with trying new styles. My hair will let me know that it has had enough by breaking. I saw a few broken off pieces. I was freaked out for a minute until I had to remind myself that it is hair lol. I remember reading an article about some breakage being normal. But, the idea is to keep your hair is healthy as possible.     It has been awhile since I have done a wash and go. I did one recently; I was shocked to find my hair in...

Happy Monday everyone! I've decided to do a length check for you guys. I don't do them often because I feel like it's like the old saying that "a watch pot never boils" lol. My last length check was in August when I redid one of my micro braids.  This is my hair 9 months after my big chop. I have trimmed my hair twice since then. So, your hair may be longer or shorter (at 9 months) depending on many factors including trimming, retention, etc. At the top of my head

9 Months Natural - since Big Chop Hey everyone, Today makes 9 months since my big chop! Yayyy! This week, I have been wearing my hair in two cornrows (in the front) and a fro (in the back). I have been using Organic Olive Oil Leave-In Conditioner by Africa's Best and Mega Grape Seed Oil on my fro. I've been using the leave-in on my corn rows and sealing the ends with Shea Butter. Because the leave-in is water based, it has caused my afro to shrink a bit. But I don't mind.
