BahSun's Natural Hair Journey (4 yrs)

It's been four years since my last relaxer!
Come witness the journey!

If you're not already doing so, I encourage you to at least give your natural hair a chance...no matter what your race or hair type is. Chemicals have the power to damage/dry out anyone's hair.

If you don't want to, it's all good too. lol. Celebrate with me. lolol

Stats: Type 4a/b natural
Video: Made in iMovie on my Macbook Pro.

Beautiful, where did you get that butterfly headband?

[BahamianSunflower]

@mokahdeelyte It's a normal headband from Walmart and the butterfly is from the craft section of the Dollar Store. LOL

[imjust2fly]

what products and oils did u use while transitoning

[BahamianSunflower]

@imjust2fly Little to no products. Just make sure your hair is clean and moisturized. Put it in a style that you can leave in for a bit, then clean and repeat until your hair grows out. :)

Wonderful results. I really like the music that you used.

[BahamianSunflower]

@tamonibe thanks!

Ignorance is not cute, people with curly/wavy hair have shit load of issues with their hair as well. And not all biracial people have the same hair type. Every race of women put chemicals in their hair, some use chemicals to have the apperance volume and thickness. Some need to use harsh shampoos just to cleanse it. Some hair can't hold a curl and looks lifeless. Some is stringy, oily, etc. And just having your hair sit on top of your head , just straight can sometimes look unkept just as well.

@BigAl023459 Very very very true. One comment I want to add is the appearance of curly/kinky hair is often more shunned than lifeless hair. For limp/lifeless hair, it's attributed to a bad hair day, but for curly/kinky, it's being lazy. We all need to come together and realize that everybody's hair is different and beautiful in its own way and that almost EVERYONE wishes their hair was different and is prone to damaging it for that reason.

I love your journey !

n_n keep beeing natural !!^^

@Mahoganydiva00 You know that everyone's hair grows at different paces, whatever race they are. Who knows maybe your hair grows fast with relaxers, but you have not tried to grow it out natural. It may be faster naturally. Her hair may grow slower than yours, but she is showing her journey of natural growth not her race to long flowing natural hair.

[morenamd1]

u should do a viseo on how to do that triple puff ball thing. i really like it!!!

[Mahoganydiva00]

@SaiKoSeSu Its not meant to be mean. Maybe I should have elaborated more. I was thinking about going natural, but I saw how short her hair is after 4 years and thought maybe I should just stick to relaxed hair. I was just saying my hair grows faster relaxed. Everybody hair is different. I am watching these videos to see how to take care of natural hair. Sorry if it sounds mean.

[SaiKoSeSu]

@Mahoganydiva00 What an insensitive thing to say. It's just shrinkage. Plus she already stated in the video that her scalp is sensitive, so she probably already has a hard time growing her hair long. Yet I'm sure that you'll be too offended to even heed what I'm saying and just call me a "hater", as everyone seems to do when confronted.

[Loveprincessmiah]

Hey y'all. I've been natural for about 6 months now.
