Ladykay6: The Birth of Avah  Empty Ladykay6: The Birth of Avah

Post by ladykay6 1st January 2011, 7:36 pm

My journey to natural hair began June of '09. That was the date of my last relaxer and the day I decided I wanted to be chemical free. It was not an easy transition between the war of my two hair textures, the opinions of family members, and the inability to carry out my usual go-to styles when relaxed. My hair has always been thick and my mother decided it would be easier to manage with a relaxer in my hair. That was around the age of 8. Looking back at old school pictures from kindergarten to my senior year I saw a huge difference in not only the length of my hair, but also the health. From kindergarten to 2nd grade my school pictures ranged from puffs to twists to braids and beads. From 3rd to 6th they ranged from ponytails to curly dos (via rollers or curling irons). And from 7th to 10th a spectrum of styles done by flatirons, curling irons, hot combs, or primarily relaxers.. my hair was getting shorter and thinner. I was at the age where I could make the decision to continue relaxing or do away with chemicals.

Throughout my transition I tried various hairstyles, but my go to style quickly became braid-n-curls, flat twists, or a bun

Just a quick update,
I did a 3 strand twist out and only kept it for 3 days because I wasn't very excited about the results. Yesterday I did a kind of poofy frohawk style. I took sections and rolled them almost like small horizontal french rolls going down the middle of my head. But, last night I sadly brushed it into a ponytail and wrapped it up so that I wouldn't have to struggle in the morning. I plan to wash it tonight after work.. However it may be a little too late in the evening for me to be motivated.. most likely resulting in a cowash just to remove the traces of gel.. (Aloe vera). I will probably do a braidout again instead.. I was extremely proud of the results of that style for New Years. Hopefully some new pics will be posted this weekend ! Smile
