Back in May of this year (2014), I made the leap and completely shaved my head bald. Completely bald.
Cancer, chemotherapy treatments and life stressed caused me to just make the big move. And though I didn't have the confidence to fully embrace it. It was there. It was done, and I had to move on from that.
It took a little bit for my hair to actually start to grow out but by August of this year (2014) it became a nice little curly fro. I am still not aware of what my hair type is, as there apparently is a glossary to this but as it grows and I learn, I'm sure I'll become aware of what my hair needs most.
Right now it's a decent length and honestly, I haven't been doing too much to it other than conditioning it, moisturizing it (when I wasn't lazy) and just letting it be a curly mess. And I can admit, I should be doing more as this is the vital stage to hair growth - but with my funds being low at the moment I can only afford but so much hair care products. I only use a curl custard right now and my regular African Shea butter and Suave Shampoo/Conditioner products. But I definitely want to venture into Natural Hair Care products.
So my hair looks like this now, and honestly I want to start wearing it out more. I've only been hiding my hair under wigs, and hats and such and I know that isn't the best either. And with summertime coming up in the next few months I want my hair to be longer and luscious so I don't have to be sweaty and hot in wigs.
I think my hair is adorable~ When it's like this. Only it doesn't dry like this,
This is a short post, as I'm just stating what I'll be blogging about more and possibly vlogging about over the next few months.
