All Natural Now!

I chopped off all the relaxed hair and I'm all natural now! I went to a nearby shop where they cut off most of the relaxed hair, but then I had to fix it. I cowashed my hair and then put in curl pudding, so I could see my curl pattern. All the parts that were straight I chopped off. This officially ends my transitioning, and I have a decent amount of hair to work with yay! I would definitely recommend transitioning for those who aren't sure or don't want to have really short hair. The picture below is my hair all natural in a flat twist out.

A daily hair pic

I tried the Bantu knots again, and it is way better than ever before. I did it while my hair was dry, and used more hair in each twist. It was much faster to style, because I made less knots. If you try this style, send a pic in the comments section below.

I tried the bantu knots that my sister tried and

The first time I tried the bantu knot, I wet my hair.

-Wet hair-wash or spray it wet
-put a part in your hair for bangs, part down the middle, or part on one of the sides
-grab a small section
-put either leave in conditioner, curl enhancer, or gel without alcohol ( I tried all 3)
-and separate into 2 parts and (some like using big sections of hair for each twist)
-start twisting all the way to the ends so that it holds
-keep grabbing small sections and twisting to the ends until the whole head is twisted
-Then each twist is held at the top and then wrapped into a ball.

When I finished, it turned out nice, but I would have liked more texture. The main issue is, that in the morning my hair was still wet. The waves are smaller and the hair is more elongated.

Why I decided to go natural

10 reasons I decided to go natural

1. I want healthy hair

2. I want hair that is water ready - wash and go

3. I saw easy natural styles - I can do by myself

4. I think I look better with natural hair - grow to love me for who I am not what society wants me to be. I don't have straight hair. I have my hair.

5. There are professional and grown up natural hair styles

6. Transitioning - allows you to keep your length while growing out your hair

7. I don't want harsh or damaging chemicals in my hair

8. Relaxers are harmful to my scalp

9. I can always straighten my hair with a flat iron if I want a relaxed look

10. I want more length and texture
