Natural Hair

As my 2 year anniversary of going natural is approaching, I thought it would be a good idea to show and tell about my journey and what my go hair products are.

This was when I 1st big chop. If you are planning to big chop, I do suggest having oils handy. My hair was very dry afterwards and I found myself always having to add oil and water to manage. My go to oils are olive oil, coconut oil, sweet almond oil and moroccan oil. Most can be found in your local grocery store.

My hair grows at a normal rate of 1/2 inch a month. This was my hair 1 year after I big chopped. I found that just using conditioner to wash my hair (co-wash) help to cause less breakage and helped me retain length. Shampoo and my natural hair did not get along at all. My conditioners that I alternate using are Alberto V05 Coconut Conditioner and Suave Moroccan Infusion Conditioner.

14 months after my big chop. This was a go to style for me. 

I decided to do a 2nd big chop in July ,2013. I had shaved the one side of my head a couple of months prior and grew tired of the style. Whether you are starting your natural journey or thinking about big choping just remember its about self acceptance and loving what is the true you.
