Month Five and Still Alive

I know it has been a while since my last post, but the last two months have been jam packed and hectic. I have thought of a ton of things to write about so hopefully you will be seeing more regular posts from now on. I am still hanging in on this transitioning journey. I’m still pretty positive, but the last two months have been the hardest. For one, I am definitely past the point that my hair just looks like I have new growth and trying to find styles that work with both textures has been a series of epic fails. I am still mostly rocking bantu knot-outs and my faux bun, with the occasional flat twist-out sprinkled in. I am getting pretty bored with doing the same styles over and over. Also, though I do have a lot of growth, because it is curlier, it doesn’t look like my hair has grown much at all. I think this process is probably much easier if you hair is longer from the beginning, because you have more options for styles than I have with my short layered locks. You guys know me, I like change and doing the same thing over and over is wearing on me. All in all, I’m just getting impatient and contemplating if I am ready to do a big chop or not …Probably Not! LOL!

Here are some pics from the past few months. I did make some changes. I colored my hair which does help me feel like I have had some change.
