THE AFTERMATH
I was natural for most of my life & then got the bright idea to relax my hair because i thought it would be easier to deal with & then got bored of my straight hair after A MONTH & decided to cut it🤦🏽♀️ Long story short, i really miss my curly hair & can’t wait until it grows back. My hair grows pretty fast so i’m not super worried but i wish i can fast forward to a full head of decently lengthy hair.🥲 #naturalhairstyles #naturalhair #naturalhairjourney #curlyhair #relaxedhair #relaxedhaircare
The journey to loving your natural hair can be a rollercoaster. Relaxing your hair may seem like an easy solution, but many soon find themselves missing their natural curls. Transitioning back can be both exciting and challenging. During this period, it's crucial to nourish your scalp and hair. Regular deep conditioning treatments can help restore moisture and keep your hair healthy as it grows out. It’s also beneficial to maintain a balanced diet rich in vitamins A, C, and E, as well as biotin, which promotes hair growth. Additionally, avoid excessive heat styling and harsh chemicals that can damage the new growth. Embrace protective styles like braids or buns to shield your hair from environmental factors. Engaging with online communities focused on natural hair care can also provide encouragement and creative styling ideas. Sharing your journey with hashtags like #NaturalHairJourney can connect you with others experiencing similar phases. Remember, the transformation back to your natural hair is a personal journey filled with self-discovery and beauty appreciation.
The struggle is real! For the longest I struggled with my hair, my mom got it relaxed when I was six..it took my hair nearly 8 years to fully recover. As I go on a hair care journey, find out my hair type and have fun exploring-
