kinky roots

It has been one year since I decided to embark on this journey to natural hair. It has not been easy and I still have a few more inches of relaxed hair to grow out. I've been trimming my hair each time I go to the salon. I've contemplated the big chop, but I still enjoy the versatility of having the length of my hair. I miss my long tresses! I miss throwing my hair into a ponytail on days I don't feel like doing my hair. However, I love how much more healthier my hair is now, and I enjoy the versatility of going from kinky to straight when I want to, without using chemicals. I got Senegalese twists this summer as a protective style this past summer, which was the first time I ever had weave braided into my hair. I am very tender headed so I did not enjoy sitting for 8 hours, but I was happy with the results! I enjoyed the new look, but I quickly got bored with my new hairstyle.  I'm still growing to love my kinky roots even though I hate the shrinkage when it's wet. Beautiful hair comes in all forms: kinky, straight, curly, nappy, coiled, and every other texture under the sun, so I will gladly continue this journey. :)
