I took out my twists this weekend and tried some new things (which I will write a post about later) but I learnt one thing... it's time for me to BC (big chop)- really what am I waiting for?
I thought that I would be able to go 2 years and just grow out my relaxed hair but I can't deal with it anymore - Yes I don't want short hair (because I have never had short hair and I don't think it will suit me or that I can handle it) but no one will see it anyway because my natural hair is now long enough to plait and plaits and twists are easy enough for me to deal with.
After I washed and conditioned my hair the drama began.
I was literally ripping chunks out of my hair. Where the two texture met HUUUUGE knots had formed.
At the back of my head, my hair is all natural and what a difference it makes in terms of treatment! It was soo much easier to deal with and looked soo much nicer.
I started getting angry and upset at my huge knots, (It was late and I was emotional, I remember trying to plead with knots at one point- I was too tired to cry lol)
Then I started getting the scissors and just cutting out knots I could see. (I learnt quickly that there was no reasoning with these knots) I had chopped parts of my hair from my shoulder to my ear. I gasped at first, but once I started I wished I could have just walked into a Hairdressers and got it all cut off there and then (I couldn't it was 2am)
So I have decided next time I come to take out my plaits I will cut off all my dead ends and start afresh with a new fro.
I don't know what the hairdresser lady thought of my half chopped, uneven mess of a head when I came to see her in the morning but she didn't say anything. She does keep telling me to use more heat and at first was telling me to relax my hair again so I don't think I would have been too bothered with what she said anyway- I am sure she will love my healthy fro when it appears and she will be happy when she realises that she had a positive part to play in it.
