I've been natural for quite some time, with very little growth and hair health to show for it. Largely because I really was not that caught up in the natural hair scene. Well talk about making up for lost time! Opening just one link to an article on BGLH or just one Youtube video with a natural hair tutorial seems to be an impossible act for me. There will always be another link to another article or video below or adjacent to the one I most recently devoured that I simply MUST read, and thus the addiction is fed.
A screenshot from this morning: I don't always have time to read them all right away...so I open a bunch of tabs and save for later *hides face*
Despite this obsession, I am not a product junkie...well maybe not a full blown one. I read all these articles and watch all these tutorials about length retention, moisture retention, no-heat stretching, etc. to gain knowledge. One thing I have realised is that not everything works for my hair (I am thoroughly convinced that my hair has a type all its own. I call it 5Z). Everyone's head of hair is unique. And while there are general guidelines, it is up to me to do what suits my hair best. So although the arsenal is expanding with all this new found love for all things natural hair, I still take careful consideration of my weapon/s of choice.
Trying to stetch my hair using the African threading method...but with laces. Forgot to take an after pic, but it wasn't the most successful experiment I've ever conducted...
On a quest to achieve the perfect (or as close as I can get) bantu knot out...I think I'm almost there!
