My Puff: X's Two
Bantu Knot-Out Puff
Bantu Knot-Out Puff, After Wetting.
*Ha, I don't know why I thought I could just spritz it with water and go. I must have thought the water would reactivate the curliness of the style. I've got to get reacclimated with my natural hair.*

Length and Curl Check

| My Curls Unstretched. Definitely 4c. I don't see the typing system as derogatory for very tight, kinky curls. I love my tiny spirals. |

No More Braids... :( & :)
Why is it that when my hair is out I want braids, but then when my hair is braided I miss my curls. We are so peculiar #human nature.
I had to say good-bye to my braids. My new growth just made me antsy to see my new length. Wow. I'm really impressed. Now I just keep thinking to myself..."rentention...rentention." I still do not want to BC, but I am going to trim my relaxed ends substantially (about 2 inches) because I do not want to lose my length drastically, but I also do not want to jeopardize the healthy natural hair and new growth that I have attained. Who knows I may just go ahead and BC, but I'm not feeling it right now (pre-trim).
Because I have gained a substantial amount of new growth and chemical-free hair I am going to be creating a regimen for my hair. I will update my blog with that info as well. There are so many successful ladies on the YT discussing natural hair so I do not at this time feel like I have anything 'new' or pertinent to say about my hair that isn't already being said, or hasn't already been said by someone else. But the moment I do think of something you can bet I will upload videos on YT.
It has been over a month since my last post, before this one, so I have a lot of making up to do. I wore my braids for 8 weeks (2 months) and besides a few style variation, and a cut the last 2 weeks of wearing them I really didn't have anything to post that I felt would be insightful or worth sharing. But that should change now that the braids are gone and I'll probably not be wearing them again for a while.
I'm almost ready to start advertising my blog, because school is wrapping up in the next three weeks--yes, I'm so excited. YAY!!! Hey, it's only up from here. I'm pumped.
Later!
