Tried a thing. Lol Lol. Considering braid extensions for the first time in my entire life!! I've never had them. I tried weave my first transition but kept it for a few days. It was frustrating. I'm really worried about taking care of the hair under the braids.

I am officially a year post. I thought it would would would be harder but washing/co-washing twice a week seems to be my sweet spot for my hair. I probably should do a light dusting later this week...

Temptations!!!!!! I stayed there and felt an urge to chop it off. Oh my. Started watching short puffs. Will this be a constant thing now that I have passed 1 year? I hope not. Sigh.

Ladies, I did a meet and greet with a new stylist today. I found her through a natural hair coworker who spoke highly of her stylist. I asked her several questions while she inspected my hair without seeming like a know it all. She said she does not double book and asked me to set aside at least 4 hours for my appointment as she goes slow and takes her time. I'm down for it as long as I'm not getting man handled in my head. More to come after I have my actual hair appointment. I'm considering wash, flat iron and about a 3 inch hair cut. Notice I said considering. Yall know I'm always non committal.

@halfindian Girl, I fight the urge to cut it all the time lol. I'm trying to hold off until sometime next year if possible.
@divachyk Sounds exciting! I wish I could find a healthy hair minded stylist that was located near me. Please let us know how it goes.
@rileypak Cute coils

Caaaauuute coily @rileypak
I'm tired of my back tensing up every time I do my hair. Plus, I know my ends were damaged before the transition. I'm certain they are even worse now. I hope this stylist doesn't disappoint but ahem, I tend to find fault with every.single.stylist! @flyygirlll2

So my edges have grown back much since the last time. I cannot identify what helped. I have stopped ponytailing in the shower. I also style my hair loose allowing my curls to wave up. The edges will grow back but I think the main goal is to prevent more breakage.
Forgot to add style idea. Bun done with stocking.

Wash Week™ Queen
I did! It was too cute not to play with
Plus did a little impromptu length check with it (a smidge past APL)

Wash Week™ Queen
I'm ranging from NL/CBL to APL when stretched at the moment. My "decided to go natural" anniversary is in a week or two. I *might* take the plunge and trim off the remaining few inches of relaxed ends and go ahead and get this natural hair all the way started. Haven't decided yet though...

Today I rocked dry, sticky, dirty, tangled hair in a stocking big afro bun. Like the one posted in the previous post. Got so many compliments. Even guys were like wow you look pretty. Lol lol lol lol lol. I was all blushing like thanks. Ladies asked me how I did my hair. One went as far as to ask me to do hers like that. Lol oh gosh.
I bought VO5 Strengthening pomegranate and Grapeseed shampoo and conditioner and a pack of hask henna n placenta super strength conditioner. Did a pre poo with the vo5 condish, then shampoo. Now sitting with the hask DC. Not sure what I plan to do with my hair after.

Hey Ladies,
I haven't been in the Haircare section in a minute and wanted to come and update you guys on my natural hair. I'm currently a year and 3 months post bug chop and I'm still LOVING IT! I wear wigs pretty much 99% of the time due to ease, but occasionally I will wear my hair out. I basically replaced bunning with wigging and honestly I love it more. I get the swang w/o the damage #win!
