My Natural Hair Process!!! woot woot #teamNatural

So for those of you who did not know, I am all the way #teamNatural!! I have been growing my perm out for 16 months now, after I had to cut my hair off from a mis-managed sew-in. 
My Chemically treated hair!





Anyways I had to make the "BIG CHOP" and cut all my hair off *sheds tear*. But because I had my sew-in in my hair for like 3 months a lot of my relaxed hair had grown out (your girl had like 4 inches of new growth). 
after the BIG CHOP 
The previous picture was taken like 8 months ago and was the shortest my hair has everrrrrr been ... omg but the hair cut ended up being real cute. Even though I was super hurt about cutting my hair off I stuck with growing my perm out! At the point when this picture was taken it had been 7 months strong with no chemicals. YAYYY MEEE!!
this is my hair now

The above picture was taken a few weeks ago, and yes this is the fully natural head of hair (excusing a few of my ends that have about an inch of relaxed hair left to be cut off). I prefer to wear my hair straightened, even in the natural state, my hair is 50 % thicker and healthier than it was in the above relaxed hair picture. I LOVE MY NATURAL HAIR!! I take very good care of my hair, washing and conditioning every week and getting my ends clipped every 6-8 weeks.  But moving on.. I love the diversity that I have with my natural hair that I never could have with my chemically treated hair. My natural curls are pretty and yet still a little awkward looking. However, I have found a bunch of natural hair blogs and websites that have inspired my below pictures... I did it .. BANTU KNOTTING and this is how it came out.....
the knots themselves
the end result!
yes!!! I love it!! all of it!! I have received soooo many compliments on my natural bantu knotted hair! you can google bantu knotting for yourself and get the scoop on how to do them and how to they work for your hair. I did a dry bantu knot where I just worked with my hair dry and just used styling products to get the effect I was going for.

Tell me what you think ...
