Calling all naturals: 4a/b from Big Chop to 2 Years Natural, Growing Strong!

[DragonPearl]

Thank you, JainyGirl and Falon!!!!

I feel very fortunate to be pushing 50. I have known many people who didn't make it to that age.

Stick to a good exercise routine, eat mostly unprocessed foods, don't put yourself in age boxes, find spiritual grounding, and you'll experience aging as a positive thing.

RE: tangles

It came to a point where I realized that I could no longer wash my hair loose. Period. I was just getting waaaaaaaay too much tangles, taking waaaaaaay too long to wash and u know what? it was getting ridiculous. So finally my Aunt (whose daughter is natural) mentioned to that me perhaps I should wash my hair in sections --> and so I did and boy was it a life saver!

Another thing I did that cut down on tangles -- I rarely wear my hair "out" or unmanipulated. When I used to do fros and puffs my hair used to be so tangled and intertwined after just 1 or 2 days. So i stopped wearing these out styles and started primarily wearing my hair in twists. Not only do i get less tangles, but come wash day it's easier to wash my "stretched" untwisted hair as opposed to washing a 2 week old puff!

RE: knots

I think this is just a part of the tangles. in my opinion the more I manipulate my hair in protective styles, the easier it is to comb out, the few tangles, the fewer knots. At this length just leaving it alone, or doing a washing-n-go is a definite no-no. I have to do "something" with my hair or it just gets out of control. Thats why i love rocking twists!

Thank you!

What an inspiration! When I saw your twists, I was like - "WHOA!" They are so plump and healthy looking. You are lookin' good at 2 years!
