Natural Hair Growth Journey & Confessions

I've decided to go on a growth journey.  In the 5 years that I have been natural I've pretty much had a laissez faire attitude when it came to my natural hair.  Now it seems that my hair has reached it's terminal length or can it grow a bit longer?  I would like to see how long my natural hair can grow.  I will admit that I've been pretty much a "lazy natural" opting for low maintainance style options.

But this year I will venture to see what great lengths my hair can reach.  I've made a video about this and I've put this on my blog.  I am now accountable. Below are a couple of pics, one is in September 2014 (hair is flat ironed) and the other is March 2015.  They obviously going to be dramatically different but I'd like to see comparison for 2016.  I will admit that I have not been keep the best hair practices which would explain a lot of set backs.  From here on I will baby my hair so I can see it grow.

Tracee Ellis Ross Inspired Milkmaid Braids - 4C Short Natural Hair

Anyone who know me will tell you that I fangirl over Tracee Ellis Ross. She's is forever my girl crush. Her hair and her style are to die for. But she's also smart and savvy (we're bffs in my head). This is my go to hairstyle when I have no time or don't know what do with my hair

Two Styles on Short Natural 4C Hair - Hair Updo

TWIST OUT ON SHORT NATURAL HAIR

Products used: Tresemme Naturals Conditioner, Coconut Oil, Mixed Chicks Leave In Conditioner

This is an easy style to do for short natural hair.  It best if your hair is completely dry before taking your twists out.  This will also give you the best volume! If you have type 4 (a, b, c) this should work for you. But remember the best products to use are the ones YOUR hair responds to.  Have fun with your hair.  See the video below for how to achieve this style.
