My Decision to go Back to My Natural Hair – Part 1

Newly Natural With a Simple Updo

I have been perming my hair for years and was getting tired of dealing with split ends and hair breakage. I started to braid my hair when it was nearly time to retouch the roots. I would keep the braids in for a month or so. This made my hair grow way faster than anything else. I didn’t really plan on going back to my natural hair, but somehow, it happened. It just sort of happened accidentally, which turned out to be a good thing.

So I braided or I should say twisted my hair, using hair extensions, which were really long. After doing the two strand twist, I took the scissors and cut the ends, not realizing that my hair had grown so long. I suddenly realized that I had cut off a good 2 to 3 inches of my hair. At this point I decided that I might as well go natural after removing my extensions.

November 2013 will be one year since I went back to my natural hair, and I am loving it. My hair is healthy and strong, and I can still wear fashionable hairstyles. Now that I have my natural hair back, I feel so free. No more chemicals for me. I choose the best natural hair products for my hair.

Right now I am using Coconut oil and Castor oil in my hair. I have heard about so many great natural oils, but haven’t gotten around to trying many of them. I heard that the Jojoba Oil is a great hair product for natural hair. Recently I have been looking at a lot of different natural hairstyles and have been trying a few of them. My next blog post will cover my latest look.
