Something New

Currently living life on the curly side in the form of a new hairstyle at last! For many years I've found comfort in rocking the same look–the classic bun and sweeping side fringe. I've always wanted to experiment a little more with my hair but at the back of my mind, I always feel that nothing else suits me! Having never worn a curly style, I thought that this would be the perfect time to finally go for it, and here we are.

At the moment, I'm growing out my hair into its natural state, so I've been without a relaxer/perm for almost 7 months now. It's still shocking how I've managed to last this long and not look back because I have always been quite adamant about never letting my natural hair grow out. Although my hair grows pretty fast, I haven't been able to retain any length for many years because I didn't put much effort into looking after my hair properly. It was always dry and breaking off at the ends so having my hair in a bun has been the only way to disguise all the real damage!

Having my hair relaxed/permed at a very young age has meant that I haven't experienced it in its naturally curly/coily state up until now, and I'm loving it. I only wish I had transitioned earlier! Natural hair videos are literally all I watch on Youtube currently, but I've learnt so much about how to really look after my hair now that I battle with two different hair textures. That being said, my hair is now the healthiest it has ever been thanks to all the new knowledge!

Stay tuned for little doses of how I'm getting on with my hair journey. The downside–still trying to come to terms with life beyond the existence of hair straighteners, ha ...
