Curly Fro-hawk

Hi all!

I hope you had a wonderful Easter!!!
I experimented with my hair this weekend and finally tried my hand at a mohawk on a 5-day old straw set.
All I used were bobby pins and a mirror! lol. Then I dressed it up with a flower.
I like how it turned out, but it's definitely something I would wear out and not on an average school day.

Results:

A few other angles:






That's all for now! 
A BIG THANK YOU to my readers! =) 
Thanks for keeping up with me on my journey.

Length Check

Hi!

This week..before I started one of my straw sets, I got a huge itch for chopping off my ends.
So I cut all of the relaxer off from the bottom section of my hair. 

Before:


After (Shrunken):


After (Stretched):

There's a LOT of length there, but man, does my hair deliver a serious dose of shrinkage! lol.
When I saw how much shorter my hair was without the ends, I decided to only cut the relaxer from that bottom layer completely and just do a light trim of the rest of it. My itch and temporary curiosity were satisfied. 

Here's how this particular straw set turned out:

I actually really like how it turned out with my trim!

Anyway, for those who celebrate: happy Easter weekend!
Have a safe, fun and blessed one!

Growth Update: Transitioning Hair, 18 Months Post-Relaxer

Hi all!
Finally a new video!
I know I haven't made one in months, and I apologize (especially to my YouTube subscribers) for that! My computer had been out of  commission forever: no audio, buggy when connecting to the internet. It was VERY difficult to make videos with it that way. Now that it's up and running again, I'm hoping the videos will be more regular like they used to be! And if there's anything YOU want to see in a future video, please let me know! =)

Anyway, this video is just a photo montage update on my transition. I am now 18 months (a year and a half!!) post-relaxer. Just 6 months away from my initial goal! =)
How far along are you guys, and how much further do you plan to go?


Enjoy!
