My Hair Journey
I can write a book about my hair (ok not really), but it has a story and I will try and keep it short.
I have had countless hairdos, from your step 1 relaxers, Black silk, to Dark n Lovely, I tried out most of them. I preferred Dark n Lovely growing up because it gave my hair that “silky look” (gosh like that was cool).
Part of my childhood I had a “schicko”, wish I had photos of that, s-curled the hair, grew it cut it, had the bob cut blah blah… My Mom used to like curling my hair with rollers especially if we were going to a wedding or somewhere special, I really hated it because for some reason it seemed to make my head look bigger. I liked cornrows, and there was this weird plait called “ithambo la fish” in Zulu which means “fish bone” , the name fitted the plait because it looked just like a fish bone when done (really wish I had a photo of that) but you can probably imagine it. Wheuw my head kind of experienced it all, different hair looks always excited me (still do). Enough about my childhood hair drama.
I decided to cut all the relaxer drama 6 years ago(wish I did it sooner), it was really a spontaneous move, I plaited in between and just let my hair grow

I plaited my afro every single night before I slept
to avoid it looking shady the next morning.What I love
about growing hair naturally is that it’s an unpredictable
journey,that has a whole lot of different crazy stages
before
it actually looks decent (it has a lot to do with patience
as well washed it two two three times a week and moisturized it with any good hair food I could get my hands on at that time. It eventually looked like this |

| box braids |
 |
| fro-licious |
 |
| red vintage blues |
 |
| pin up style
I shaved my afro sadly because I converted the afro to dreads, which did not turn out too well. I do not have photos of the dread-locks-gone-Bad!!! I randomly think of how my afro would look now, but that is just a sad thought, Sigh.
 For now I am loving the no hair·Low maintenance, Time saver.
At the end, hair does grow, but for now I am enjoying the freedom of no hair
