Lady smooth sax! Your hair is very beautiful

@JoachimMink For starters, learn how to spell, let the man rest in peace and knock off the nonsense. You were not in his head to know what lead him to that. One does not have to alter their features to deny their race there are lots of Hollywood black people denying their race; who have not had any work done... smdh.

Back too the roots, you are you and you are good how you are, back to your nature. This is my commendation. The worst example of someone who don't like himselfe was Mikel Jackson. With every operation he lost more of his natural beauty.

I think the natural look is the best look. Your a pretty woman and your sax is so very amazing. So from here on out may all your days be good hair days!

If I may suggest (this is my last post, promise! lol) LonghairdontcareLLC transitioned for 2 years and has helpful videos on this. To save you time (I know, it can be frustrating searching through tons of YT videos) here's one of her vids which summarises her regimen:

Hope this helps xx

Some things I've learnt:

Weekly washing & deep conditioning, both while my hair is in twists, and gentle detangling with a very SLIPPERY conditioner helps reduce breakage. Learning EASY hair styles that I can do depending on the amount of time I have, makes life quite simple. From your pictures you're already familiar with bantu knot outs. Keep doing these, or twist- and braid-outs. Buns & updos are perfect for when you're in a hurry or when a twist/braid out doesn't turn out right.

Hth!
