7 months after my big chop

[laurena612-blog]

Joking around but my TWA has grown considerably since my last post a few months ago. I’m still all natural I’m not exactly sure what my hair texture definition number is as far as it’s coils, but I love my hair and I will never go back to relaxers or any variation of that. All natural all the time.

It's been about 3 months and I'm still natural I use the same products and a few new ones but other then that my hair has grown quite a bit.

5 Things I Wish I Knew Before I Went Natural

Just thought I’d share 5 tips for anyone who is new to natural hair or thinking about going natural.  Feel free to add your own. Xoxo

1.  Coconut oil is amazing, but it’s not a miracle worker..You still have to take care of your hair.

2. Just because someone’s hair looks the same as yours, that doesn’t mean that your hair will react well to the products they use.

3.  Don’t pay attention to what society says, all hair textures are beautiful.

4.  Hardly anyone believes in the phrase “dime sized amount” ..You’re not alone

5.  Enjoy each length you’re at, all lengths can be beautiful and stylish.

I'm going on month 3 in my TWA big chop back to natural hair journey and I found some really good hair gel that defines my natural curls well❤❤❤

Another day and a new head wrap technique. My hair is growing and so is my love for head wraps. I don't miss the burning scalp, or chemical smell. Nor do I miss the breakage and thinning of my ends. I only have two inches of hair but it's full smells great and feels like it's supposed to.

My journey journal

I actually enjoy this. No one really follows me so I can post and say what I want without worrying about any criticism for being myself. This journey among all the others has been a life learning experience and I plan to continue through the highs and the lows.

I am not sure what day I'm into, I think I am a month and a half in on my TWA journey and I am learning new ways to wrap my hair especially living in the Midwest where it's cold most of the year.

It's day 15 yay. I've been growing my TWA for 15 days now woohoo 🙌🏾. Chose this photo because it was my mood and I also had no make up so I was all natural plain Jane enjoying my youngest daughter bonding moment ❤

Day 10 with my TWA - not much to say other then it feels right and I wrap it with a silk scarf at night.

TWA -Day 9

This journey has been so interesting, uplifting, and fulfilling. I’m only on day 9 and it’s refreshing to know that hair isn’t everything especially when it isn’t natural and healthy. Knowing now that ALL HAIR IS GOOD HAIR, and feeling comfortable in my skin enough to chop off all the process and allow myself the freedom to truly be who I am with what I was born with is the most innovative thing I’ve done for myself.
