Well, here it is 2010 and I am still continuing on with my journey of obtaining natual hair. have now 8 months of transistioning under my belt.I am really proud of that because it has been moments where I thought to myself it will just be so much eaiser if I just perm it again, but now that I have some growth I see those curls & I am like nah. Not worth it. It is still hard because I just do not know what to do with my hair sometimes. For the month of December I did go to the salon and got it straighten twice (for graduation and my birthday). But as I was reading more articles and other people blogs, of course it is no good to continue to keep getting it straighten. So for the last month I have been wearing twist outs (well I try but still no good at it). I have tried to do some bantu knots, but it didn't work out at all. I guess my permed ends are just too straight. I think the reason why I am having such a hard time doing my hair is because I was one who never played with styles on my own. I just wrapped my hair (which that took me a while to learn how to do :) ) I just went to the salon every two weeks & that was that.
My dilemila is when should I cut off my relaxed ends. My hair has grown but not that much. I never had short hair and I do not want to shock myself by cutting it off. I don't want to be like the girls on Tyra's show crying & falling out because my hair is gone. I know it is just hair and it will grow back but still! I am thinking either I am just going to take the plunge in May when it will be a year and just deal with it or wear braids. But for now I shall just try to deal with this dry puff ball of curls on top and straight on the bottom hair. |
