This year has been one of many changes aside from having a baby. One of the biggest changes has been cutting all my hair off to go “natural.” I’ve loved my hair most of my life, despite the fact that I wish it was a different texture than it is. Being bi-racial has brought many comments from my skin tone, to my body shape, to the fact I speak Spanish (I’m out of practice, sorry Abuela). However, the biggest question has always been about my hair. It’s not exactly “bi-racial” looking (beautiful ringlet curls or wavy locks) it’s a bit more coarse, yet was quite long before my drastic cut. I’ve never seen what my actual texture of hair is (until now) since it’s been chemically straightened as long as I can remember. So this has been a serious learning process for me despite frustrating. So you can understand where I’m at, here is a brief picture story of my hair:
(function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i[‘GoogleAnalyticsObject’]=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){ (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o), m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m) })(window,document,’script’,’//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js’,’ga’); ga(‘create’, ‘UA-44959148-1’, ‘blogspost.com’); ga(‘send’, ‘pageview’);

Your afro is very cute ma'am! 🙂 Learning how to manage coarse/kinky/coily hair is tough. I routinely think of chopping mine all off again, lol, and I'm still trying to find out what products work best. Happy hunting, *chuckle*

I am also transitioning my hair. I didn't realize it takes about two years for your hair to grow. After having a baby your entire body change..even your hair. Eat your veggies and take your vitamins. I feel your journey, lol.
