Big Chop

[nathansgirl1908]

So I finally took the plunge and did the big chop. I washed my hair and took a few pics from different angles.

Right now I'm having a hard time figuring out my hair type and trying to find the products that work the best for me. Most of the hair on the back of my head curls up into corkscrews, some loose, some tight. The hair on the front is more frizzy and wiry.

I tried Miss Jessie's Baby Buttercream, and it made my hair feel very sticky and nasty so I washed it out.

Congrats on your BC!

I'm not a big fan of MJ's products either. Too much mineral oil and petroleum in them.

Right now I would say just focus on keeping your hair moisturized. Get a moisturizing conditioner and co-wash 2-3 times a week and get a good moisturizer like shea butter mixed with an oil like coconut oil, grapeseed oil, or jojoba oil.

As your hair grows out, it will change, but if you keep it moisturized, it will do well.

@ the bolded: though I did my mini-bc by accident, I have more natural hair than relaxed...and I'm in the same boat as you. I think my type is 4a/b, so I dunno what product(s) will work for thick hair like mines...I'm leaning towards KBB or Kinky Curly products.

Your BC looks beautiful. HHG!!!

Very nice, how long did you transition?

7 months

I had braids and then senegalese twists.

One of the best things about all of this is that my problems with seborrheic dermatitis have gotten WAAAAAAY better. I don't have even CLOSE to the same amount of flaking and irritation that I used to have.
