Transitioning



Before Natural Conversion

 I have been natural for 3.5 years now. I transitioned for six (6) months. I wore my hair in muslin head wraps, or I wore it in a ponytail with a flat ironed bang. Not so funny fact, my bang never made it through the whole day. I often looked quite crazy with fuzzy and wavy roots and a straight bottom half swoop. Can you say middle school hair? My transitioning period was an interesting time; I was used to having long, flowing relaxed hair that seemed pretty healthy (see before pic). It was quite a change to have this bird’s nest growing under those head wraps. My poor hair dresser had to untangle and make sense of that catastrophe, when I so easily neglected my hair between salon visits.  I don’t have a before pic (think teased pompadour), but below is the transition pic (think miracle). Guess what? I have the nerve to be tender headed.

My next post will be a journey from my relaxed hair to an all natural crown. You won’t want to miss that, there were a good number of questionable hair daysJ
