All Naturale

I have only been natural for 5 months, since the Big Chop that I had in September, however; it took me about a year to grow my hair to a comfortable length before I got my relaxed hair cut. For those of you who don’t know what the Big Chop is, it is an event (I guess you could refer to it as that) when a woman cuts off all her relaxed hair. This is big deal for those who have the courage to start their hair growth from scratch. For me, I didn’t feel comfortable growing my hair from scratch, so I waited until my natural hair was half the length of the relaxed. Once I got my hair cut, it took me awhile to get use to my hair being short. Actually I am still getting use to it. The only thing I liked at the time was that washing my hair and feeling through those curls. I took a big risk growing out my hair and not even knowing what grade of hair I naturally had. So it was a big relief to see that I had a soft and curly grade of hair. 

This is what my hair looks like when I get through washing it. 


I still haven't gotten the hang of my hair as far as what is the best products for it and how to style my natural hair but I'm taking it one day at a time. I am always watching Youtube videos to learn more and get some insight on my new look, but at the of the day I love the decision I made and I LOVE my hair.
