4 Months Post Big Chop!

Hey Y'all!

I can't believe it's been 4 months since I big chopped. Time sure goes by fast. 

I am VERY happy that I made the decision to bc when I did. I originally wanted to transition for 2 years, but the anticipation to see my fully natural hair was more important to me. Also, I like the fact that I can try things out with my shorter hair first.

Anyway...here are some the things I learned and experience with natural hair. 

• I still care about the rain- I always heard natural woman saying they care less about the rain now that they're natural. Well, I'm not one of those people. Rain can mess up a hairstyle, even a puff, with the quickness. The ONLY time I don't care about the rain is when I'm in braids.
• I get a lot more attention- I have random people approaching me all the time about my hair, both white and black. A lot more men try to talk to me too which is surprising because my fro adds about 6 inches making me look 6'6. LOL
• My hair needs more moisture than protein 
• A simple regimen works best for me
• I prefer to have my hair in a protective style during the week mostly because it saves me time getting ready in the morning
• My hair seems to retain length a lot more/better than before
• My hair is the healthiest it's ever been
• I DO NOT miss the relaxer process. It stressed me the heck out. 
• I don't plan on ever flat ironing my hair, but may do a blow-out for my 2 year post relaxer anniversary. 

Picture time!
