Gave Up

[diamondlady]

Hi Ladies,

I have been off the board for years. Actually I gave up because I had so much hair drama and it was stressing me out. I stop relaxing and just weaved it up. I have retained some length but now I've noticed the health of hair has started to decline. It has gotten so thin and fragile. I decided to get rid of the weave and now I don't what to do with my hair. I don't know how to handle my natural hair. I would love to keep the length but I don't have a lot of faith.

How long is your hair? Have you checked out the transitioning and newly natural threads?

I decided to get rid of the weave...

This is the best thing I did for my hair. Weave kept my hair at a certain length. You just have to get to know your hair. Deal with it out. Go through the awkward stages. You'll get the hang of it and your hair will come in beautifully.

I tried to post an avatar with my latest photo taken without the weave but it kept coming out side ways. My guess my length would be about mid-back but I'm not sure.

I think I became addicted to the weave because it was so easy and no worries. I was surprised how much length I retained after all my previous hair drama but I was really dis-interested in my hair other than I really wanted it to be healthy.

I think I'm gonna start with a protein treatment but styling I just don't know.

I would get a hefty trim. 1 inch more than you ordinarily would.

Find some products you feel excited about using.

Keep the styles super simple. What about a roller set and flat iron the roots routine?
