My hair after  1 year of transitioning   My hair now It has been 1 year since I decided to go natural, and to be honest I think it was one of the best decision I ever made. It has been a fun, rollercoaster journey and I keep on enjoying the ride apart from the one or two odd stares I get when I go out with my afro. My hair has since grown  fuller and healthy. The reason that I decided to go natural was that my front hair was breaking/damaged. I had long hair at the back and hardly anything on my front which was a bit frustrating when styling it. It has been easy for me to maintain my natural hair since I have soft hair texture so I don’t have to worry about feeling pain while combing it. Now and then I try to pre shampoo, and pre condition my hair but sometimes I get really lazy and I don’t do the whole process. So when I have the time (note when I really have the time) I pre-shampoo my hair for 20 minutes, wash and shampoo, then pre-condition for 30mins-1 hour wash & condition my hair. Once I have dried my hair I use leave-in condition and oil my hair before styling/braiding/plaiting. Twist out have been my signature look for sometimes now and I still love them.
I also moisturise my hair  at least twice a week and I make up my own hair moisturiser from a mixture of coconut oil, castor oil, virgin hair fertilizer, jojoba oil, tea tree oil and shea butter. I really don’t have measurements for this oils I just take a few scoops and drops of oil depending on the quantity I want.
