I'm going to be putting up info on a new challenge I've set for myself: growing bigger hair!
I love my natural hair, but I have preferred in the past to do other's: my sister's or my kids, but now after seeing some pics from www.curlynikki.com and some random images of Teyana Taylor I want bigger hair! I mean I do have a big head and a big face, so I may as well balance it out with big hair, I can't wait. (Updating once aweek in line with my regime should do it.)
I've been trying some products and have narrowed down what really works for me and how often I actually have to do my hair, i.e. washing and conditioning, and I feel confident that I can really get some big-ass hair on my head.
Curly Nikki has some great tips, as does Teri from www.biracialhair.org (yes I know she is mixed race,but so what, read her story, look at her hair and realise 'hair is hair'). Youtube is also great so many to chose from, but see " S1MNICITY": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrLN_JziqD) her hair is gorgeous, and as a UK natural she's very inspiring.
I was prompted to do this mainly because I really wanted to see what my hair can do, but also because I was telling my family recently, after getting a trim, that I wanted to really grow my hair longer now, and they asked if I was gonna get a perm! and I just thought you don't have to get a perm to have long hair! It just reinforced it for me, that I needed grow out my hair like I'd always wanted to, but to also take better care of it and show you don't need to relax to have longer hair.
So hopefully in a day or 2 I will put up my new regime and products that I'll be using on my quest for bigger, healthier hair. :)
and if you happen to have stumbled onto this page feel free to join in the challenge.
