Hello ladies and gents,
Once again it has been a super long time since I have had the time to write to you all. In April right around my birthday, I installed another set of Twists. This set was Black and Blue as you can see here in this picture listed below:
I will double back later and tell you all about the process and what it took for me to get that together, as well as post many pictures about this last set of twists.
Well, last week I removed my Black and Blue Caribbean Twists ( hair by Black N Gold both colors) that I had installed for my birthday around the 16th of April. So I had them in for just about 3 months like I did with the red kinky twists I had put in. Unlike the Burgundy and Red kinky twists, I noticed that I suffered lots of knots, tangles and clumps of hair basically forming soft locks. My definition of soft locks is natural hair that has clumped together but can still be detangled with careful finger detangling, BUT, if left alone will turn into permanent locks that one CAN NOT detangle. Well, suffice it to say... I had never had this type of experience while my hair was done in twists or braids. The second time I washed and styled my hair after I had removed the twists, my scalp became itchy, inflamed. painful to the touch and sensitive in multiple different places. One place I am used to having this feeling in my scalp ( that happens to be my bald spot, and it acts up every so often) but this was different. So for that I purchased some Burdock Root and Nettle hair oil to see how that will deal with the scalp issues. I will update you on that when I get it in the mail!!! Eventually I am going to go to the dermatologist and have them tell me what is going on and do tests and the whole 9.
Now, lets move on the the second part of this post ... the "Short and Sweet" part. Well, some months back I tried to wear my hair in a was and go style and discovered that that was not a possibility for me. Mainly because there was so much hair that I had that was still damaged from heat years ago. It has been growing out, but still remains since I do not cut my hair anymore!!! I have watched all these women with amazing hair that curls from root to the ends. And some of my hair would NEVER do that ... for reasons that I explained earlier. SO... I decided that I was just going to hack it all off and get that big chop thing out of the way!!! Here are a few pictures of what I did!!!

I have to admit that after I cut my hair I noticed how full my hair seemed to feel. Not to mention how much easier it was to comb through and detangle!!! I am certain that it will not take long for me to see the growth start to take place!!! Here is the thing though... How about I must have cut off like 5-7 inches of hair!!! Like... SERIOUSLY??? Yeah... like that!!! I got tired of the straight hair messing up my look all the time!!! So, I just took the plung and chopped it off!!! When I stretch my hair it is still past my shoulders. It just looks really really short because all of my hair can curl up to maximum capacity now, unlike what it used to do. Mind you... I still have a few spots where there is still about an inch or so of straight hair, but for the most part, I have taken care of the most messed up parts!!! NOW... let's see how long it takes me to grow my hair to waist length!!! Hmmm. I might have been close, but by the way my hair looked before the cut, it just was not healthy enough to do it's best I think. Anywho, I hope you have enjoyed my update. Hopefully some time soon I can give you the measurements!!!
