Okay so i just wanted to share something with you guys and gals. Firstly a bit of background info. I'm basically growing out my naturally curly hair as from last year when i found that i had damaged it so bad due to bleaching/constant straightening that a lot of my curly hair was now straight :O. Anyways i always seem to cut my hair when it gets to just past my shoulder back to neck length as i find it a very irritating length and the hairdresser always gets scissor happy when I've asked for a trim. So I cut a fair bit off last year and then in august i cut more of the damage off and my hair was its shortest it'd ever been at chin length. Having to vut it so short (although i liked the cut) was a bit of a wake up call.
I have never really liked my curly hair but decided enough was enough and didn't want to keep going through this cutting phrase and wanted my long hair back!
So fast forward to yesterday, I have straightened my hair maybe four times since august and not once during the last three months. I have been using the hair donut which everyday which i love and i guess i was a bit bored of the hair buns so felt i would straighten it. I was half way through and i decided to do a length check via pictures, and I'm so happy it has grown loads since November (when i took the first picture) it's much thicker, my mum and bro couldn't see much growth and didn't share my enthusiasm but as someone who has been watching their hair like a hawk i noticed it :D. Anyways that's not even the most exciting part, after this lovely revelation of new healthy growth i was looking in the mirror and feeling my hair and i just didn't like it straight. My hair felt drier already and i just didn't want it straight so i grabbed my spray bottle and ta da watered it back to curly. I just can't believe that finally although I've said i didn't want to damage/straighten my hair anymore i really feel like I've embraced my naturally curly hair and don't even want to look at a hair dye or straighten it, which is a major milestone for me :cheese::cheese:
So sorry this is so long, i tend to ramble on and this is my first proper thread post, plus i felt like sharing this with you guys as no one else would understand and just thinks I'm obsessing over my hair haha...which i guess is a little true! ;) I'm not sure how to post the pictures in a thread otherwise i would have for growth comparison.
