In my last post, I talked about my decision to transition my hair into it's natural state. Here are some pictures of how my hair looked throughout the transitioning process. I will warn you, some of these photos are not the best quality. I am trying to do a better job documenting this hair journey.
When I flat iron my hair, I wear that straight style for about four days to a week. If it starts to revert to its curly state in less than a week's time, I simply wash it and just go back to wearing it curly. I flat iron my hair at least twice a month. I know, some naturals may be out there gasping. Flat ironing is sometimes considered a big natural hair faux pas. So far, I have not had any issues with heat damage.

Okay, excuse that last picture. I had flat ironed my hair a few days ago and have worn it in a ponytail for most of the weekend. So, as you can see, I have creases in it and it appears uneven. I assure you, my hair is not uneven. My stylist takes great care of those ends and I get them trimmed regularly.
My hair has grown a great deal since starting this process. I do understand that part of the growth can most likely be attributed to my pregnancy a few years ago. However, I definitely feel my hair is healthier than it has been in the past.
For those interested in my natural hair journey, I will continue to post my progress in the future.
