Hairstyles in the past

Here is another that I started and never finished. I'm posting it as is.





I haven't had any chemicals in my hair since 2000. This all happened as a fluke. I had some extensions in my hair, and my sister was helping me take them out. I told her where to cut, but she decided to cut where she wanted. I ended up with hair past my chin on one side and above my ear at another. I got my hair cut in a style. Then I started wearing microbraids. I didn't like the short hair. My intention was to grow my hair out and then get a relaxer. After about 7 months, I had a lot of new growth, and the thought of going natural popped into my mind. I wasn't quite sure if I wanted to do it. I started reading about natural hair and decided to put another set of microbraids in my hair, and after 6 weeks, either perm or chop it off. Well of course, I decided to chop it off. .




Natural hair styles of the past:....press and curl, two strand twists, afro, etc.

We had a good run, but now it's over. May they rest in peace...

I have anxiety......

but it's for a good reason. I can't wait for my installation dates (Jan. 29&30). My girls (ages 10 and 12) are excited about it too. They want theirs done also.

I'm thinking of interlocking their hair on my own using either the nappylocs tool, some bobby pins, or some other homemade tool. I'd do my own, but I feel like sitting back and letting someone else do it.

Currently, I have about 8 inches of hair, although I have been natural since 2001. I always got aggravated with my hair and ended up cutting it. I didn't like for it to get past that stage where I could wear my cute, high afro puff.

My consultant said that she would most likely use a 4pattern on me with medium in the back and small everywhere else. My hair is thin. I am a little worried about parts because of that, but I know eventually, they will disappear.

Some people think I'm crazy for spending $800+ on a hairdo, but I have not gotten my hair professionally done in over 10 years, so I am just spending a couple of years worth at one time.

Pictured above is me with the last double strand twists that I will do in my hair, unless for some reason I decide to try it with my sisterlocks. I may post pictures of myself from over the years, when I get a chance to dig them up.
