Kim Coles is challenging me to grow out my natural hair and I accept. I did my second big chop (more of a slow chop than a big chop) in October and my natural experience has been much better than the first two natural go-rounds.
In Dying Color
After my previous big chop my stylist added permanent color to my hair. It was super cute, but months later I found my hair very dry and suffering from breakage. The breakage was out-pacing the growth. This time, I've had much more growth in 4 months than I seemed to have in the 8 months after my previous BC+color.
Tight Like Glue
At a very tight 4a (coils about the size of coffee stirrers), I've learned to be patient with growth. I don't know that my hair will ever get to be "long", nor am I sure that I want to deal with the extra maintenance, but I would like to have a couple of good inches to rock twist outs, afro puffs, and chunky fros.
I'll attempt to blog-ument:
- My natural transitions (successes and fails)
- My ever-changing hair care regimen
- Product experiments, including henna
- Feedback I get from friends, family and strangers
- Diet and exercise improvements
