I've been natural since November 2011, and haven't turned back since! I had my last relaxer in November, and transitioned until May 2012 when I did my ultimate 'Big Chop' - that's just basically cutting off the relaxer ends. A lot of people question natural hair and maintaining it - like the key to flawless skin, the key to healthy natural hair is a daily regime! Plus theres so much styles to do with natural hair. I still do my protective styles such as weave, braids etc - but don't neglect maintaining what's inside.
KeraCare Conditioner, Ferm Gel, and KeraCare Edge Control
ECOStyler Gel
These are basically my lifelines to keeping my hair strong and healthy. I co-wash my hair almost everyday with the conditioner, and once a week keep the conditioner in for 1 hours under a plastic cap for a more deep treatment. On top of these products I used Unrefined Shea Butter, Natural Coconut Oil and Jojoba Oil. These I use to lock up the moisture!
This is my journey from my big chop:
May 2012 - Big Chop (Super short)
July 2012
October 2012 - My first colour (Copper Bronze)
December 2012 - Hair was long enough to use Marley Braid
March 2013 - New hair dye 'Honey Blonde'
P.S. I advise you do protective styles once in a while, it helps the hair grow quicker and thicker! :)
