'THAT' NATURAL HAIR ADVENTURE!

In 2014, during my LLM sojourn in Aberdeen, I had a lightning-bolt moment. I realized I had always had my hair chemically processed since I was 16 years old. I needed to care for my hair better, I thought. I needed to do 'the' big chop and grow my hair out without chemicals...and I did.

These photos captures some of my awkward hair moments. As you can see, more than half of the time, I do not know what to do with it or how to style it. I am still loving my 'fro' though.

Few weeks after the big chop, I loved how easy hair care was then...I could just wash, comb and be done with it!

About 3 months later, hair is thicker and much more harder to comb through.

I didnt care though. I was almost always wearing gym tracks and hoodies anyway. ;-)

7 months post chop. I had found youtube videos on how to manage my hair then.
