robin, your hair !

some of my readers may have been wondering on the growth and different styles i've had my hair in with this summer during my natural journey. so this post is for YOU !

if you didn't know i have been natural for a year and four months with only the tips in the front still being permed.

i've only cut my hair twice and my hair grows back faster each time. it's really exciting. let's take a little stroll down naturale lane ..

early 2009 :
a simple wrap. growing as long as i wanted and only getting my ends clipped. then ... i went natural.

august 2009:
a longer cut bob. i was afraid to cut my hair soo i went for a safe cut. it grew back really fast tho.

february 2010:
right before i got it cut. the growth between the august cut up until then.. pretty good if i do say so myself ! lol.

after:
the biggest cut of my life. a short bob. it was cut pretty short in the back. took a while to get used to but i loved it.

present:
literally the present .. taken a few minutes ago , my hair has clearly grown out. maybe the same length or a little longer than the initial cut.

but as for this summer i've either worn it straight .. which is a little harder to keep up due to humidity and sweating.

the hardest thing is the weather .. your guess is as good as mine on how my hair will react to the air .. one day i went to the beach with a style similar to the one above and left look like this -------> !

i do like this look tho when i'm tired of everything else. it's simple , easy to do , and i love the silky look with my jet black hair.

the newest style i've tried is wrapping my roller sets up.

i know , a style made before time right ? but i was always soo afraid of it being too thick and ugly .. sooo , i never tried it until now. and i LOVE it.

it even looks pretty when it gets older.

as school approaches i plan to cut my hair one more time to get ALL the permed ends off. then i plan to grow it out back long. hopefully all goes well !

this natural process it sooooo much easier than i ever anticipated .. i notice now that a LOT of people are going natural now as well. i would suggest it to anyone. but yeah , that's about it.

feedback , questions , or comments about this natural thing would be greatly appreciated .. :D.

just an array of a few pictures with different styles. enjoy. . .or not.




giddy i can fit it in a baby ponytail ! ha. had to show y'all before i chop it off again.




until next time. . .
