So its been a minute since I've written last and not much has gone on since I last wrote. Except for the fact that I am obsessed with hair now! I'm googling hairstyles, cuts and colors... Hair care regimens and researching products... Still watching tutorials on YouTube (and failing miserably at following them)... Staying up till the wee hours washing my hair because I just can't go to sleep thinking about it...
I've gone natural crazy!
I asked others for advice on my newfound addiction. I still have no clue what I'm doing or how I'm going to go about doing this whole natural thing. I got mixed answers. Some people say cut it all off and rock a TWA (or teeny weeny afro), others say cut it all off and put in braids or a weave, while the rest say leave it alone and let it take its course. My take on those opinions:
1. I doubt I would look good with short hair, and my hair takes forever to grow.
2. I can't stand weaves, or extensions, or wigs, and have always prided myself on not wearing anything of the sort. But I have thought about it, especially recently. However I just can't bring myself to spend the money on that stuff.
3. If I leave my hair as is, there will be more breakage and thinning, and I can't take it anymore!
I'm at a loss! I wish that I had a personal stylist or something to do all my thinking for me.
So all you naturalistas out there, please give me some real advice (or come do my hair for me everyday). I need to hear from people who transitioned without the "big chop" and persevered through it all... I already know my hair journey is going to be long and rough.
