Side by Side





I wanted to show you guys a side by side comparison. It seems like my hair is gaining more width and less length. I tried to put a hat on the other day and I had too much hair! My hair just seems to swell and get bigger. I am noticing more bunching than I did when I first started the process. Anyone has any idea how to undo bunching? The pic of me with the red glasses was taken 8 months ago. The other one was taken last week. As you can see I have a lil more length but to me it seems like width.


It takes longer to retighten my hair. There are sometimes when I just want to jump of the chair and come back another day. I can’t imagine how long it will take once my hair reaches shoulder length. Also my hair takes a very long time to dry…there use to be a time that I could wet my hair and roll it at night and it will be ready to go by morning. Ummm that is no longer the case; I can’t tell you how many times I woke up with wet hair.

Like I said before the compliments are coming in and I hope I inspire others to go natural. Yes there is a time when you go through the “crazy” look but it is apart of the process. Some people elect to wear wigs but I say what is the point of going natural if you must hide behind a wig.

My hair is much softer than it was when I relaxed my hair and it now I place product in my hair about 2 times a month. I mainly use water. Oh last month I did make a mistake and revert to my old ways. My scalp was itching so I thought it would be a great idea to grease my slap…………..WRONG. The oil got really goopy in my hair and every time I scratched my scalp my finger nails were filled with grease. I used some Cream of Nature product and it did not work well for me. I had to wash it out because it was creating a mess.
