Greetings!
First and foremost I would like to extend my sincerest gratitude
to all of the lovely and helpful ladies who have been the source
of my natural journey. I discovered LHCF a few years ago through
the many natural women on Fotki. Now, I am coming out of the
shadows of lurkdom to help others like many who have assisted me in all
of my frustrations, triumphs, disappointments, failed and successful experiments as a cottony, coarse, thick strand natural.
So I know how it goes down here. It is pic reveal season and
I have some photos to share of my progress!
December 2007 was my last relaxer. My hair was thin, I had ugly
split ends, I was barely shoulder length (a length I had been
practically all my life), and I knew nothing about hair care. Why people thought my hair was long is beyond me.
I had my head shaved on March 8, 2008
Medium sized twists on a TWA, November 11, 2008
Small braids with shrunken ends, June 12, 2009
Fro (after all that protective styling), November 18, 2009
Twist out, March 12, 2010
Blow out, January 1, 2011
Stretched twist out, October 3, 2011
Straightened hair, November 5, 2011
I can't put everything in one post, but I do have a Fotki with a slew of pics.
Early on in my research I didn't have fun with
my hair because I was convinced that I needed
to protective style 100% of the time, look at heat
as the devil and only use natural products. I don't
think that way at all anymore and I’m enjoying my
hair a lot more.
My hair regimen is simple as pie and was a
modification of a regimen from a Fotkian name
Yassylane. It goes as follows:
Wash, condition, moisturize, twist, un-twist
for a twist out. I do this once a week which
means I practically wear my hair out every single day.
For more of my hair journey you can read it in full here.
Thanks for reading and let me know if you have any questions!
