Hair Update

Hey everyone!
I know I should have posted this hair update a while back, but been busy. So sorry about that.
Anyway it's been 8 weeks since I big chopped; check out my hair between then and now.

I'm so pleased with my hair and its growth. My regimen has changed since going natural; it's much easier. Basically, I co-wash every 2-3 days (coz I exercise a lot and too much sweat on my scalp makes it itch terribly) and deep condition at the end of the week. I moisturise and seal daily (coz colored hair dries out easily). Everything is so easy since my hair is short. I'm currently wigging but I'm beginning to get bored of wigging. I'm thinking of installing box braids; haven't done that in a while.
Concerning my hair color, I had typed a long post detailing the process but somehow it got deleted from my Drafts. I used Creme of Nature Hair color in Caramel Brown. I really love the color; especially when I'm in sunlight.
Anyway, I've always been curious about my hair growth rate. Coloring my hair gives me an opportunity to see and keep track of my hair growth rate. It's been 6 weeks since I colored my hair and here's how much "new growth" I have:

Doesn't look much to me, but my hair grows slowest at the front. I'll continue to keep track as time goes by, and I'm hoping to find ways to boost my hair growth rate.
Right now, I'm just enjoying my TWA.
Cheers, Fatee

I'm back!!

Hi,
It's been like what... forever??? So sorry to be away for so long, been writing exams. But now exams are over, and my life is slowly returning to normal.
So, here's a recap of what's been happening to my hair while I was away
- I BIG CHOPPED!!!
- I coloured my hair!!!
Whilst you're recovering from shock, Here's the news in full.
So,  it happened one faithful day, I had an exam for which I stayed up all night preparing for. Afterwards, I was feeling tired and stressed then someone close to me pissed me off. As I was in that angry, moody state, one of my sisters (FYI, I've got 4) sent me a pic of her big chop. When I decided to go natural, I'd thought of soing the big chop and starting afresh but I  was scared I'd look awful (I've got a weirdly shaped head). So when I saw the pic with my sister looking so gorgeous with her low-cut,  I thought "I'd look good too!" since we look so much alike (Duh, we're sisters). So I grabbed my hair scissors and started snipping away. It took me over an hour, because after cutting off my texlaxed ends, I had to even my hair out. I'd have gone to the barber's, but I was scared they'd scrape off all my hair.
So enough talk. Time for some pics

The reactions have been PRICELESS!!! Everyone, and I mean everyone I know had something to say. The most common statement I received is "Why did you cut your hair? It was so long and healthy" I just shrug and say “it's just hair"
Do I miss my texlaxed hair? Hmm...sometimes. Do I regret doing rhe big chop? Absolutely Not!!! I love my short hair. Wash days are now easy brezzy.
I feel like like I'm starting my hhj afresh and it's exciting!! Looking forward to long, healthy NATURAL hair.
Cheers, Fatee
