I am happy to say that I have not given up on my mission to become natural. It has been a long 8 months for me but I have stuck to it. I can not wait until I do my big chop; I almost did it super early last month but my sister told me I would regret doing it. I considered what she said and then I concluded that I did not want to have any regrets.
It has become very difficult to prevent breakage for me so I have decided to get my hair braided. I needed a protective style and this one will allow me to save some time at night and in the morning; this style will also allow most likely help my hair grow so I am all for it. I hate seeing the amount of hair that comes out when I wash my hair so this will help me not get a panic attack for a while. I have made it 8 months and I can not wait to see where I am in the next 4.
