Hair Journey Update: 7 1/2 months Transitioning

 

Hey Guys! So I just randomly decided to do an update on my natural/transitioning hair. I decided to go natural, not because my hair was damaged, but because I wanted a change. I rarely wore my hair straight so what was the point of perming it? I had a really good grade of natural hair to begin with. I didn't start getting perms until I was in high school anyway and that was just to fit in.
Anyway, here is a picture of my hair before transitioning:

This is all from 2012-April 2013. Long-ish healthy hair. This is why I hate when naturals talk down on people getting perms and coloring their hair. Mine was permed and colored. Boom! Pow! Take THAT!
But anyway, Since then, I shaved off the sides of my hair and it has grown back to about 3-4 inches long. (Of course its natural so its curly and you can't tell it's 3-4 inches long) It's very easy to tell the difference between my natural hair and relaxed hair because my relaxed hair is permanently colored while my natural hair is my natural dark brown.
Before the wash (hair was blow dried a week ago and very dirty!):

Yep that's me, no make up no nothing! Anyway, the next pictures are of me with freshly washed hair with a light conditioner on it. I have a combination of 3c/4a hair. On top it's more 3c, and 3c/4a mixture on the sides.

So there you have it! 7 1/2 months transitioning! We're making progress!
