Coils, Coils and More Coils




Wow I have not been updating like I should be. Haven't really done many styles on my hair, just been rocking a puff or a wash and go eventually pulled back into a puff. But today I decided enough was enough. I sectioned off my hair spritzed it with some water and applied Miss Jessie's Curly Pudding section by section. I did some flat twists on each side and left the front middle undone. I finger coiled the rest of my hair and then finger coiled the front middle towards the front. I think my hair came out really nice and, I even got a few compliments on it. My hair kind of looks like I have dred locks or like I'm starting the lock process, who knows maybe I will leave my hair like this and keep tightening them and go ahead and lock my hair. Did I mention I am 3 months post BC, and I have no regrets I love the versatility of my hair in its natural state.

I finally had enough

So I know its been a while since I have updated this page but life has taken over. If you have been following this blog then you know I have been struggling with doing a BC or transitioning longer. I remember getting my last relaxer in June 2009 then highlights in July 2009 I'm almost 90% sure I didn't get a touch up in August and I know I didn't in September so in total I transitioned 6 1/2 months before I finally had enough. The time it was taking to style my hair with the two different textures was outrageous, so I hopped in the car headed to the nearest beauty supply store and picked up some scissors.

This is one of the many before pictures I had taken this day. It seems like no matter what I tried to do with my hair nothing came out right and I was tired of rocking flat twists and bantu knots.

I had so much water and gel in my hair just to slick it down into some sort of make shift roll. But no matter what I did those darn permed ends reared their ugliness. It was officially time they had to go.


Here is a close up of the new growth. I love my waves they inspired me to go ahead and do the "BC", and chop I did. I jumped in the shower and whipped out the scissors and made the first cut and the rest is history. I cut and cut and cut some more until 97% of the permed ends were no longer attached to my head.
I can now officially say I am not my hair, I feel so much better now that I am no longer hanging on to those dead ends because they gave me length. Now my hair can grow back healthier and stronger.






 This is the style I was rocking for my interview today.
