Welcome to Bantu Beauty !
Hello Fashionistas and Fashionisters !
This is my first official blog and I will be talking about my natural hair
. . .
. . .
I will show pictures of my natural and my big chop as well !
OKAY ! Lets Get Started !
My Relaxed Days !
I began to get relaxers at a very young age; I have always had fine 4b/4c brown hair . . . my hair is not super kinky nor is it super loose. For many years, I hated my straight relaxed short hair and could not wait to get rid of it . . . BUT I did not have any say so towards what was done to my hair because I did not learn how to style it during that time.
My Big Chop !
I did transition but for only about 3 months or so . . . I did not like my relaxed ends AT ALL so I finally decided to embrace my natural hair by cutting it all off on August 3, 2015. (Click the link below to check out my big chop video)
All I can say now . . . is that doing the big chop was the BEST decision that I could have made for my hair!
FINALLY ! . . My Natural Hair !
I have been natural for about 10 months and I have LOVVVED every bit of it ! For about 7 months, I decided to wear a weave and let my hair grow, however . . . I did take some time to let my hair breath from the protective style underneath. During that time, I began to take Nature's Bounty Hair, Skin, and Nail vitamins and it made my hair grow SUPER thick and strong !
Below is a photo that I put together showing my 6 month natural hair growth ! My hair is thicker and stronger and I LOVE all of it !

6 Month Natural Hair Growth ! |
I was soo happy to start this journey and I am much more excited to continue it ! To my fellow naturalists . . . I admire you and you are my motivation everyday. Thank You !
In conclusion:
If you are the person who has been wanting to do the big chop and skip the transition phase . . . I say DO IT and do not worry about what others may think ! Do what you feel is best . . .
DO YOU BOO !!
