wassup y’all! i was going through some old photos, & my hair has been through a l o t so i thought i’d share my (hair) transition story!
row 1: pre-transition ❌
my hair was r o u g h. it had no volume, no curl, and was just really damaged & dead from the amount of heat and chemicals i put it through on a regular basis.
-10000/10 would not recommend
row 2: starting transition
eventually i put my foot down & told myself enough was enough. november 2017 i officially stopped putting any sort of heat or chemicals in my hair, and that remained unbroken until i got curious how it would look in november 2019. around this time was when i got into teaching myself about different hair products/methods, protective styling, etc. and began having a new style every week (all while acquiring a l o t of bandanas). i became known in my school by my hair & the full aesthetic i would pair with it each week, and it was qUiTe the wild ride.
my favs at this time were def twist outs, space buns, and my long twists.
6.69/10- lots of fun, but time consuming (& requires you building up muscle for how long you’re doing your hair )
row 3: choppin! ✂️
ah the moment i had been waiting for! initially i cut off just the damaged ends & was left with this lil mess of an afro, but i reeeeeaaaalllyyyy wanted a tapered cut. my parents didn’t want to take me to get it, so one day i snapped and did it myself. i kept keeping my hair up like this for a solid 6 months until my mom was finally defeated & took me to get a real haircut.
8/10- fun & freeing experience (even if it didn’t look perfect)! might honestly do again at this rate ;)
row 4: now!! :))
i’ve finally gotten into eco styler gel to define my natural curls, & i’m lovin it. shorter hair is s o much fucking easier to take care of, and i’m still so in love with the look. parts a lil damaged bc of straightening this past thanksgiving, but at this rate i could probably cut it off. i dO currently need another haircut though, and with the quarantine & all i may just do it myself again ;)
100000/10- it get s o much easier with time & so much easier to rock new styles
hope u guys enjoyed this & gl to anyone that may be transitioning now!
feel free to send in any of your hair stories :))
Life is nothing without a best friend to share it with.
