Hi, I’m Alondra.
I was a “salon visit every 2 weeks faithfully” type of girl up until I left for college in 2007. That’s when everything started to go downhill. I didn’t know how to care for my hair on my own. I was color treated and relaxed and had no idea about the importance of deep conditioning, keeping heat off of your hair, etc. Needless to say, my hair broke completely off on in 2008. I had thoughts of not getting relaxers then but I was scared. To make a long story short, my hair bounced back.
I stopped coloring for about 2 years and in 2010 I decided to bleach my hair again…and my hair began to shed…again. It was then that I decided I was done with relaxers. I knew my hair couldn’t thrive being double processed so thus began my journey. I was a long term transitioner just because I prefer to have style versatility with my hair, so cutting it all off was never an option for me. I thoroughly enjoyed my braid-outs and buns AND watching it grow really long.
