Hair Updates: 9 months natural

Here are glorious pictures of my Afro growth, charted at 9 months.






So, I've come a long way from the start of my new natural journey. I've always had hair that grew like weeds but, I've struggled with keeping it on my head.

I thought going natural would present the same problems, so I committed myself to one single solution: I did absolutely nothing to my hair.

Instead of struggling to make perfect braid-outs, blow-outs and other overwrought styles, I kept it twisted and braided in extensions. During that period I educated myself on natural hair practices, stocked up on products and revamped my routine. Less stress, less mess.























Here are my hair stats:
Post- BC timeline: 10 months since I big-chopped.
Starting length: about two inches of new growth. Very short fro.
Texture: I am an undeniable 4b. Don't waste your time searching for any texture looser ( although, I have found the occasional 3b loop).
Length: I am currently nape length straightened.
