Recently, I have been having a lot of fun experimenting with my hair. Having a 4b, 4c hair texture to some people can be a blessing or a curse. Although I see it as more of a blessing that has been given to me. The longer my hair has gotten the more I am really enjoying doing my hair. When my hair was in its relaxed state. I never did my hair, in fact I never liked hair period.
I was that one girl that went to the salon, but only for a wash and roller set. No real styles because I was clueless how to keep and maintain the look. So I just stuck to the usual pull my hair back in a bun mode. Don’t even ask me about trying to curl my hair because that is something that was not even in my vocabulary.
After, I had a childhood friend who tried to curl my bangs one day before middle school, however instead of curling she ended burning the whole top part of my forehead. Leaving behind a huge a black mark which took years to go away.
In the ended, leaving me scolded with a childhood memory of hating the smelly relaxers, burning pressing combs and hair crackling curling irons
Now that I am older, and loving my natural hair texture all the more. Being able to do styles that I never thought my hair would do is actually becoming quite fun!
I am really enjoying my hair!
Having a coily, not so curly hair texture is not the end all to your natural hair journey in fact it is only the beginning.
I ended up doing this Up do last night on my hair.
It is chunky twist out on dry hair of about 10 to 18 twist depending on how thick your hair is.
I don’t know why that bobby pin was sticking out, I had forgot to push it back up….
The products I put on my hair the day before was a my mixture of Shea butter, argon oil, coconut oil, and jojoba oil.
All I did was pull the twists back in to sections and pinned them up with black bobby pins in the back.
There you go.
A classic look with a simple touch.
P.S. I would love to know what you think about it.
Absolutely beautiful! I wish that I had taken more natural pride in my hair earlier in my life. Now I am hoping that the Good Lord will allow my hair to flourish again.
Keep it up!
