Hair Diary: Blowout

So I finally used some heat on my hair just to blow it out. It was not fully stretched out  but I loved how I looked. The humidity shrank my hair :(. So for the final looked I just used 4 bobby pins, 2 on each side. I made a mini fro hawk.

Here are a few pictures of me:

Hair Diary : the beginning

I recently saw a good friend of mine's hair diary on facebook.  It reminded me of one of my resoluitons for this year which was to ' document stuff about my hair' ( I'm just paraphrasing).

Background
So my last relaxer was on the 10th of April 2011. I can honestly say that I do not miss the creamy crack which never agreed with my hair. I always used to burn and my hair was just in a state of utter rubbishness. So after my failed romance with the creamy crack I decided to never relax my hair, I had no idea that there was a whole natural hair beauties movement. I didn't know how to take care of my natural hair or anything all I knew was that I didn't want to touch relaxer ever again. What further cemented my choice was the documentary 'Good hair' by Chris rock. I believe that I have already talked about this in my big chop post.

Now I tranisted from 2011 till 2012. My hair was completely natural when I decided to BC it. However I wanted a more even look so I still went ahead and cut it. This was on the 26th of January 2012


Don't mind the dandruff ( iz natural) my baby sis hates the before picture

The funny thing about my hair is I did not initially take care of it. I went through phases of trying to take care of it and then just giving up completely. So my first year as a natural was spent in hair ignorance  I believe my hair would have been longer if I remained consistent. But I didn't. Bad hair care along with bad hair styles ( pick and drop will never see my head oh).

So fast forward today and I am more interested in my hair. I know that it is not about the length but it is about how healthy my hair is. I have learnt so much from natural hair blogs and YouTube videos. I don't have a defined regime at the moment, I am currently in motion of trying different things on my hair. I have so many products and I am loving it. I also decided to start measuring how long my hair grows from this month because I honestly can't count the times before. I think I've ranted enough let me share a few pictures of phases my hair has gone through.

this is the most recent one, i think this was my first failed attempt at a twist out or was it a wash and go.

classic I cba with this hair  moment

first time I two strand twisted my hair . I loved the result

So these are the only hair styles I have tried with my hair. Pretty standard and boring but I will be trying out some new products and hair styles. I really want to learn how to flat twist. This is just the beginning as the title says.


Until next time loves.

My Hair

I have never been a hair girl. I don't have any idea how to take care of it and I think the only time I had nice hair was in year 13. Relaxed hair, natural, weave, pick n drop you name it. It always goes wrong...

After watching the documentary black hair by Chris Rock, I decided never to use relaxer in my hair. There's a part in the documentary where correct me if I am wrong a coke can is put in some relaxer or is it sodium hydroxide and the can is completely eaten up by the stuff .

I couldn't get the video I wanted so here is the link 

I've been thinking about going natural for a year now. I am in a transition state. I stopped relaxing my hair last year in June. And I will be chopping my hair of come spring... My decision was ruled by the fact that my hair was falling out anyway. Relaxers where just not working out.

Come March I will be cutting my hair and my quest for natural beauty will begin. I have been researching on this believe me. I have watched countless you tube videos. Read countless blog posts. I will be trying out different things on my hair. I know a little bit about where i was going wrong with my hair care regime * I didn't have one to be quite honest*

Hopefully I will be documenting my hair journey. I hope i can learn a lot for this experience. Might even get locks in a few years who knows?

Wish me luck ....
