Tuesday, November 17, 2009 is when I got the itch to take out the braids. I was ready to start on my natural hair journey! I had been watching many youtube videos and reading a few black hair care forums on how to take care of my hair. The picture above is after I took out the braids but before I washed them.
I learned that I have type 4 hair. This means my hair is very dry, has 75% shrinkage when wet, and is tightly coiled.
I wanted to eventually move to using products that were organic or all natural in their ingredients. But all I had in my house was Garnier Fructis shampoo and conditioner. So I washed my hair, used the deep conditioner I brought from Cathy Howse at the Circle of Sister's Expo, and then proceeded to twist them. I noticed that all of my hair has transitioned, but some of the ends of my hair are straight from the texturizer.
