Yes, it's true. I bc'd wednesday. No I wasn't transitioning and I had no idea that I would bc the day I did. My last relaxer was done by someone else. She relaxed me bone straight. I HATED it. I never wanted bone straight hair. I've always been texlaxed! I specifically told her what I wanted and got something else. I tried to like it for 3 whole weeks and just couldn't stand how texture-less my hair was. I was 3 weeks post and had about 1/2 inch of newgrowth in some places and 1/4 in others. After cutting my hair into a bob and still hating it, i went ahead and cut down to 1/4 an inch. The barber lined me up and finished all the relaxed ends for me.
It's taken me a while to get to where I'm comfortable with how it looks but I'm fine with it now. I still wear my wig about 75% of the time but I'm Ok with that lol. I've been natural before so my texture is not the problem it's how I look with super short hair. My head is far too large for that
Ok so here we go:
Without flash
With flash
Side
Front of the "erplexed" face lol
My texture is 4a in the back and 3c in the front . My current regimine is short and sweet. Cowash every other day and spray water+conditioner on it to moisturize. Seal with mango butter.
Tis all

I don't plan to color my hair at all. I've dyed my hair black for 8 years and I've decided to just let my ashy looking hair be. It looks dark right now b/c it's so short but it's actually a medium brown with red. (3 in weave shades) I have also decided to not use direct heat for an entire year. I will use indirect heat to DC but that's about it.
Everyone was really supportive. I had been talking about it for weeks so they weren't surprised that I was going to do it but surprised that I didn't wait until December like I said I would. Most of the women in my family are natural and I was natural for most of my life. They were happy about my decision but they wish that I would have waited until I had hair. My girls bought me some hoop earrings and some new eyeshadow. I don't have an SO but my main man friend had the screw face at first but he came around. He bought me a set of clippers and showed me how to use them properly. He said I have the wolf gene. I just got a line up and hair was already down my neck . He also went to Sephora and bought some Carol's Daughter products that I had been talking about. (They do listen ). I got the healthy hair butter and the milk. So far so good
