March 2021
let's go back in time .. on this day I decided to cut all the chemicals out of my hair and start over then over the months I just kept doing two strand twists.. no chemicals no heat... then I left it alone and the breakage begins so now I began my loc journey October 2025
Starting a hair journey like this requires patience and understanding of your hair’s natural needs. Cutting out all chemicals and heat, as done in the initial big chop in March 2021, is a significant step toward healthier hair. Many people experience breakage when they stop using chemical relaxers or dyes, especially if the hair is left unattended during the transition period. Two-strand twists are a protective style that helps minimize manipulation and prevent damage while promoting growth. This low-maintenance approach allows your hair to rest and rebuild strength without the stress of heat or harsh chemicals. However, it’s essential to keep your hair moisturized and detangled gently to avoid breakage. The transition to locs, which was begun in October 2025 according to the timeline, is another excellent natural hair phase. Locs can symbolize a full commitment to natural hair care and allow for versatile styling and a lower frequency of daily maintenance. Starting locs after allowing the hair to strengthen and heal is an effective strategy to ensure a healthy foundation. During any natural hair journey, keeping a consistent moisturizing routine, protective styling, and avoiding harsh treatments is key. Nutrition and scalp care also play crucial roles. In addition, incorporating gentle cleansing products and using natural oils can support hair health and encourage growth. This journey is inspiring for those considering making a change in their hair care routines. It highlights the importance of patience and loving care to see progress from the big chop to embracing natural locs.
