I remember it just like it was yesterday. It still makes me a
bit sad to reminisce about it. On September 6, 2012 I lost just about all of my
hair. [YOU
WOULD THINK I WOULD BE PULLING AN AMBER ROSE RIGHT NOW]. For the longest time, I found myself blaming the braids for EVERYTHING I mean EVERYTHING. I regretted how it made my hair feel and look. My hair is
very much damaged to the core. I have short pieces and long pieces all over my
head. What I came to realize was that I took my braids out when I was exactly a little over three months. When
I did my research again a few days ago, month three and four are the months
where you experience the MOST breakage.
[LET’S
JUST SAY I EXPERIENCED THE MOST BREAKAGE AND THEN SOME]. My demarcation
line where my natural hair met my relaxed hair got real. It made it much worst
since they greeted each other under
braids. That was probably not a good time to get braids while transitioning because
month three and four are the toughest months. I know several of you
are probably wondering, “Well what did
she do afterwards? How is she maintaining her hair now?” Well here is what
I’ve done….. I came up with several solutions
to solving this problem. I was going to cut it all off and sport a short curly fro, get a nice short bob, or
just let it deal and grow back out healthy
and natural. I’ve decided to put the scissors
down and let my hair grow out. [I MEAN IT’S ALREADY NECK LENGTH ANYWAY]. I think I have a pretty good length where my natural should
grow out in about a year and a half.
For month five and six I think I will
sport the curly look that’s when my detangling
process will be pretty tough. On a brighter note your girl is maintaining and I am not letting
something so simple like hair ruin
me. It’s just hair and it will grow back. Thanks
for stopping byJ!!!!!
SN: If you decided to wear braids while transitioning WITHOUT
the BC I prefer no type of braids unless it’s your real hair during Month 3 and
4 these two months are where it gets tough.
