Shaped Up

Well…it's official.  I am a NATURAL CHICK!!  I have absolutely no perm in my hair.  It's been three months and it has definitely been interesting.  A few days after my big chop, I realized that I was on my own with my hair; that my hair stylist wasn't coming over every morning to do my hair so it would look cute.  WTH…..  she left me out in the cold.  Sooooo what was I to do?  Walk around lookin like Roger from What's Happening?  I don't think so.  I finally did something with it… I BRAIDED IT!!

Braids are considered protective styles for natural chicks.  I braided my hair for one month, took it down hoping to do something else with it, but I realized, my hair hadn't grown enough and so I needed to braid it back up.  And so, I braided my hair again and wore it for yet another month.  After two months, I took the braids out, and realized that my hair had grown.  BUT I STILL LOOKED LIKE ROGER FROM WHAT'S HAPPENING!!  And so, my hair stylist went to cutting.  I brought in a picture of a style and hoped for the best.

When all was said and done, I had a new style, one which I can actually say, I liked!  My hair stylist made my afro look cute.  And she cute a lot of my hair.  My hair is starting to grow!!  Woohoo!!

It's been a few weeks and I'm enjoying my hairstyle…most days.  I'm still trying to figure out which product to use that will make my hair look the way I want it too.  But until then, I can deal with what I have.  I'm watching the top of my hair grow and am amazed at how fast it is growing.  I can't wait to see what I look like in 6 months, 1 year, 2 years.

So here's to having healthy hair and scalp!!

Hair Love~
