I try to stay away from single braids as much also cos the hairdressers pick the front too tiny and it stresses my strands. I don't texturize, cos it involves chemicals. <br />Hope to see you here more often<br /><br />@ Boma: Loolll, There is nothing we can do about the after-wash shrinkage. Its the texture of our hair. But the good news is that it will stretch out a bit when it is dry.

I w...Finally, a natural hair blog for Africans lol. I went natural because relaxers hurt and my permed hair was fine/thin and never grew past a certain length. It is hard for me to believe my natural hair will grow really long as well but I am willing to give it a shot and if nothing else, my hair is thicker now although I am still a fine haired natural. I have been natural for 3 years or so myself but have had to keep cutting my ends as the hair grew because I tried a texturizer which served to thin my ends as the new growth came in. I also have some breakage/thin areas around my crown which I think may be from single braids, because the braider would always comb my hair with a small, fine tooth comb to detangle/tame the hair before applying the extensions and me having tangles, breakage after taking braids down. My hair goals are to try more protective styles, stick to henna, avoid single braids unless i do them myself or have a gentle stylist. Ok i feel like I just told my life story :)neuyogihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03094246999281257053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6143366796764247140.post-73338227433785419922011-08-19T01:44:01.809+01:002011-08-19T01:44:01.809+01:00I'm still grooming my cut hair as natural.
