Senegalese Twist! ^_^

As I mentioned in my last post I decided to put my hair up in Senegalese twist I was seeing a lot of breakage because I was putting to much heat in my hair. I am also starting to work out again so I needed a style that I don't have to worry about doing my hair. I like the Senegalese twist the lady did them really small and extremely tight so I am being mindful of my edges so I try not to pull them to much.

FYI- I got the Senegalese Twist done 9/30/2011

I plan to have these twist in for the next 2 1/2 to 3 months! so I cant wait to see my natural growth once I take them out!!!

3 months in Transition

Hello beautiful people thank you for stopping by my blog and all your support in advance as I embark on this journey to natural hair!!

I have been wanting to go natural for sometime now mainly because I want something new. My relaxed hair was already thick, people would ask me if I was natural so why not do it. I have never really known my natural hair because I got my first relaxer in like the 2nd or 3rd grade SMH!! But my mother had no idea how to manage my hair not to mention I was extremely tender headed. But I am excited to learn and embrace it.

My relaxed hair was healthy but I could never get it to grow past my shoulders and when I got to college I wasn't taking care of it the way I should so it started to break off and I got it cut into a short bob. So I thought to myself this would be the perfect time to go natural since this is the shortest my hair has ever been. And I am starting my senior year of college so I feel more confident to start the journey now!!

I got my last relaxer MAY 24 2011
I got a sew-in June 15 2011
Got it redone July 16 2011
