1 year natural anniversary!

[luvhair]

Well as of last wednesday I have been natural for a year. I stopped transitioning about 2 months ago when I chopped off my relaxed hair. I measured it and I have exaactly 6 inches everywhere. Very even but very short.

Some things I discovered about my hair
my hair is not as think as I thought it was
my hair is a lot thicker than when I relaxed
I have naturally soft hair
my natural hair is shiny
my hair is EXTREMELY curly-- I am starting to think that my hair is beyond 4a/b-- my hair might have its own category like a 5a/b or something
My stylist shrieked when she saw my hair- she said its the curliest she has ever seen.

My plans
I am getting my hair texturized in about 2 weeks but I am still considering ways to relax the curls without harsh chemicals
I am going to switch to braids and weaves using the crown and glory method.

I am currently looking for a detangler and products that are ultra moisturizing.

Have you tried Biolage Detangling solution? It's wonderful at getting through tangles.

Congrats on your 1 year anniversary!

CON shampoo/conditioner with the yellow cover and green writing is a GREAT detangler. Biolage daily leave-in tonic is really good too.

Congratulations on your 1 year of naturalness

I can't wait until I'm saying the same thing.

Way 2 go!

I know natural hair can be challenging but once u get the hang of it, it becomes so easy it seems almost surreal.

Congrats girl!!!

[luvhair]

thank you!!!

well I have tried the biolage tonic, tried the Giovanni direct leave in, tried the con shampoo, tried many things, my hair is still a tangled mess

I can say that the Paul Mitchell Tea Tree conditioner and a conditioner by sedal have been the only things that seem to work. I still will be texturizing in order to help with the tangles

Thank you ladies for all the support

 

[Tai]

OT but which conditioner by Sedal have you been using? I've been thinking of trying one of theirs.
