Sorry it took me so long to reply with my hair status. Between school and work I've been busy as ever. Okay, let's see...
State of hair: Natural
Starting length: Um, I've been wearing sew-ins to transition so last I checked it was right at the base of my neck, maybe a bit longer.
Desired goal from challenge: I just want it to grow as much as it can!
Brief regimen while in twists: Dunno yet, I was gonna read the reggies on the forum and tailor fit my own.
Type of twists: two strand/kinky twists with extensions. (I'm using BSS Freetress Equal Marley braid for my extensions, has anyone used it before?)
Some hair history: I haven't relaxed since August 2009- yay me!- and as I stated, I've been using sew-ins to transition. When I started it wasn't by choice- my hair was a few inches long, it was cut into a short style. I moved from Kansas City, MO to Austin, TX and I realized VERY quickly that the amount of quality black hair salons were in short supply, until I found one that does everything from weaves to natural hair, and I was thrilled to say the least! My natural hair plan is to use extensions until my hair is at a good length. Since they have a natural stylist there, I want to learn how to do my own styles but also go get my hair done by her as well. I love this forum for all the information on natural hair care that I've learned. It wasn't planned initially but Im glad that I decided to stop using the "creamy crack" lol. My hair has been relaxed for as long as I can remember (my ex-stepmother put one on my hair and my mama was HOT when I got home! Oohwee, she ripped her a new one!!), so I've never seen what my real texture is like. So far it seems to be maybe a 4A, very soft, thick and kinky with tight, springy curls. I'm excited to see where the journey takes me. #naturalgirlsrock
Happy growing, ladies!
