It’s My Nappyversary! It’s been four years since I returned to natural hair from a brief stint back in relaxed hair land. In years one and two, I focused on growth. Between years two and three, I did a lot of cutting for shape, focusing on health, and having fun styling. Halfway through year three, I decided to focus on length retention again, but this time with an added focus on health.
I love my natural hair, and wouldn’t change it for anything. Having coily hair is easy and versatile, especially once you reach armpit length. The purpose of this post is to encourage. If you are struggling with your hair, find a way to enjoy it, and never give up!
This year has been exceptional as I finally figured out how to achieve a wash and go. I am not sure what this will do for the health of my hair, but for now, I am very happy with this discovery.
My hair seems to be happily at full Bra Strap Length, so my end of the year goal is full Mid-Back Length. I will continue with the wash n go challenge/series through summer and do a length check come to Fall. In the meantime, stay encouraged!
I am very curious how my 10-year Nappyversary will compare to now.
