I've decided in this past week that there is no better time than the present to start transitioning to natural!
After all, I won't be using heat this year and I plan to stretch texlaxes so why not see what my natural hair looks like?
Thanks to Sunshyne and other Youtubers, i've learnt how to bun and keep my hair flat and smooth yet soft with the scarf method and airdrying. I also would like ALOT more thickness when I do twistouts and braidouts (right to the ends),
Futhermore, I have been relaxed (in some shape or form) since I was 6 years old. This August would make 20 years relaxed, lets give the natural me a chance.
I'll be honest, I love me some texlaxed hair. (I haven't loved my hair this much in years - the cute way a child loves her hair!!!). However, I LOVE the thickness my new growth has and I have been stalking fotkis and youtube for inspiration. I also ordered two natural haircare books (I'm a reader too - lol ): "Going Natural" and "Thank God I'm Natural".
I intend to transition for 2 years minimum like this lovely lady: http://members.fotki.com/lifesacatwalk/about/
No Big Chop for me, just dusting and length checks without heat (stretching hair!)
I'm so excited to be embarking on this new leg of my journey using no heat styling a la Bronzeg (shout out to you, girl!)
Well, enough rambling! Wish me luck, ladies!
