I decided in 2011 that I was going to go natural and wanted to transition without a big chop, initially anyway. Thankfully, I hadn't had a relaxer for about six months once I decided to do it so it was easy to just cut my ends every time I washed my hair. I had my mom cut the remaining texturized/relaxed ends off in February of 2012. It was rather easy for me because I love short hair however Short and natural was new to me. I took so much inspiration from so many women on YouTube I.E. @Naptural85 and many others.
My hair texture, in my opinion is 4. Mostly, 4b but there is some 4c in the back and 4a in the front. I love it. Thankfully, I've always had healthy hair, even when relaxed. Now that I am completely natural, I love my hair even more. I can't believe I waited so long to accept and embrace my natural hair texture!
Below is a picture showing one year worth of hair growth from 2013 to 2014.
Huge difference! I had my hair straightened once professionally at a salon which was Mother's Day 2013. My hair was not completely straight since I went to a salon that did not specialize in natural hair care, luckily for me, I did not sustain any heat damage.
I am not a stickler for using all natural products in my hair nor not using heat on my hair. I use what works best for ME and I think that is something everyone should do! My hair loves inexpensive shampoo that includes sulphates and other non natural ingredients! As a matter of fact, my staple shampoo and conditioner's are approx. $1.50 from Walmart!
Yes, #suavenaturals from #Walmart! I have been using the same shampoo and conditioner since I was relaxed. My hair loves it! The shampoo cleans my hair well and the conditioner adds moisture and has great slip for detangling. What more can this girl ask for???
