Thank you! It’s definitely on my to do list. I wanted my hair longer especially in the front but I started looking up awkward length hair styles and knew if nothing else I have enough hair for a puff. It’s a lot more hair than I thought it would be. I’m so happy to finally be done transitioning.

Hey @BlessedXs2 ...Here are some medium "awkward length" style tutorials that I like:
I am currently at this length myself, and I think that it's really only "awkward" if I have unrealistic expectations of my hair. no, my braidouts won't have as much hang as someone with BSL hair, but they can still be very cute in their own way.

Thanks @Rocky91 .. these are some really nice styles. I currently have a really short from but in braids, but I know the only style that will look cute at such short lengths would be cute perm rod sets. When I was natural the only way I wore my hair was in flat twist outs until it got longer. I never experimented with other styles. When I was natural before styling was my biggest challenge. Twist outs were a no fail for me. I wonder how long perm rods take to dry and how long they last?

The perm rods will probably take 45 min-1 hour to dry and it can last about a week, as long as you're okay with the style becoming a fro.

Congrats! I love the color!
I always suggest clarifying as a first step when getting to know your hair. I had to do this a few times going from heat-trained to natural. I did it several times when going from relaxed to natural, but that's because I was using grease which made my texture a lot different. After that, it's a learning experience that can be a lot of fun!

Thank you I ll try that next time I wash. The back of my hair which is type 4 and has amazing curls but the front is this funky wave thing. I hope once my hair has been free a bit longer it’ll do its thing. I would think it was heat damage but I only flat ironed twice and it’s the whole front middle sections any advice is appreciated

Here is my wash and NO puff. I love the little curls but I’ve already seen a single strand knot. It’s funny that I hoped for looser curls to be honest but the kinkiest part of my hair is BY FAR the most beautiful texture I have. Natural hair is amazing.
