I hope I am not confusing you all with my many hairstyles. Well, this is my natural hair, I took these photos some weeks ago. I am currently transitioning to my natural hair texture, so no relaxers or chemicals whatsoever. But I still make use of my many wigs, so you will always see me photographed wearing 1. I can easily give Wendy Williams a run for her money when it comes to wigs. I am slowly growing my collection, and I am loving it. I find them so easy to style and maintain. I like the fact that I can yank it off as soon as I close my front door, or when I need to go swimming. It feels liberating!
Back to my natural hair transition, it has been great so far. My afro hair is growing beautifully and I even have my baby curls back, yayy!
I have not had the big chop yet and I am still not sure when or if I would have it. I guess I will grow my hair some more, and see how it goes. I am currently happy with how healthy my hair looks. I use African Pride Shea Butter Leave in Conditoner and growth oil, T444z Hair Food and Shea Moisture products, and I think they are doing a great job in keeping my afro hair shiny and healthy.
I very happy with the state of my hair but it is a lot of work to get the hair to be this way. I can see why many start and give up along the way. The endless moisturising can be very exhausting. But the outcome is definitely worth the stress.
I will be showing off my natural hair in a few weeks, just so I can document and show you all how my hair is doing.
Thanks for reading and commenting.
Have a lovely weekend.
I really like black women’s natural hair. I know it’s a hard work to keep it healthy, but if you can let it grow at least a bit more, it will look great on you 🙂
Thanks Lubka..
Looks good! I have been growing my hair out from a pixie bob, lots of patience is definitely needed when growing your hair 🙂 And good conditioner!
Thanks x
I recently big chopped and its the best choice I’ve made in a long time! Like you said, it takes so much work to keep the hair moisturized but its worth it! Thanks for sharing your journey!
Thank you for reading..
wow, I never even realised you wore a wig. I look forward to following the progress some more.
I do most of the time x
Hair takes such a long time to grow; it’s so frustrating watching it do so! I really look forward to seeing you updates. I love naturally curly hair. Keep at it and, yes, conditioning is essential but as you say, it’ll be worth it in the end. Tx
Yes it is.Thanks x
Keep it up! Your hair looks great. My big chop was so liberating and now I can’t imagine going back to relaxers. Looking forward to more updates!
Thanks Mariam x
I’ve gone 6 months without a relaxer and I’ve almost given up a few times. The first couple months were rough! My hair was so dense and nappy, I had no idea what to do with it! I’m getting the hang of it no though. It’s It’s such a wild ride isn’t it? I’ve never known what my natural hair looks like – my mom was a stylist so I’ve been getting pressed and permed for ages. It’s amazing how much faster hair grows when it’s not being attacked by all those chemicals!
Yes it is amazing. My hair is growing fast!
Haha I love how you can give Auntie Wendy a run for her money. I think wigs are great, it’s the ease and versatility of them. Bravo on transitioning though, your natural hair looks like it’s growing out nicely and healthy. I’m sure you’ll know in time if you’ll want to big chop or just get a cut that’ll make it easier to transition, like chopping off the straight ends?
I see myself just chopping off the straight ends..Let’s see. Thanks.
Beautiful. I love the way your hair looks. It is healthy and suits you. I agree it is alot of work to grow hair especially black hair but it is worth the freedom from relaxers and all sorts of breakages. Congratulations girl you look great. Keep it up.
Thanks Osime xx
I know what you mean about wigs I love them too and also been transitioning my hair
Ah nice..
How amazing, to be able to care for your natural hair, and get the chance to try out gorgeous wigs too – you look fabulous both ways xx
Thanks xx
It looks like your hair is doing so well – I love your natural curls!
Thanks Sarah x
I agree about the conditioner, its important to use a good one to feed your hair. Good luck with the transition
Thanks Vicki..
You look beautiful in these pictures! So in your previous ones with long hair was that a wig or is it recently cut? x
Thanking you. Yea it was x
Your hair looks great Stella, love natural curls. I always wanted more curls in my hair 🙂
Thanks Claire.
I had no idea you were wearing wigs in your photos! They look like the real deal! 🙂 Your hair is lovely
Thank you..
It is growing well and I love it.
In my humble opinion, I think you should let the relaxers fall off by itself and keep trimming the weak ends….my own little approach 🙂
It looks great and you look so youthful

Thanks hun xo
Wearing a wig sounds like a lot of fun – I’d never really looked at it that way before. Hope your hair continues to grow well x
I hope so too Colette..Thanks x
