Big Chopped! (PIC) Need a hair a twin.

sonychari · Jul 28, 2014

Finally completely natural after cutting off the rest of my relaxed ends last week. So I guess I more so ended my transition than big chopped. Last week I straightened it with a blow dryer using the tension method and was able to make a pony tail/bun/puff, but I don't want to straighten it weekly because I'm afraid of heat damage. At the same time I am not sure about wearing my fro to work. Any of you blow dry often without adverse effects?

My Afro in this pic is slightly blown out. It was shorter after I'd just washed it. Thanks!

My fro looked just like that until I started heat training. Now it's a bit looser

Prettymetty what products did you use on it. Right now I use Cantu's natural line. I've been using it since I started my transition last summer.

Congrats on ending your transition. Hope you enjoy this phase. I Rollerset weeky and haven't had any negative effects, but I can't speak on blow drying

I use Creme of nature argan oil poo, vo5 conditioner (any one will do, hello hydration as a leave in. I spray my hair with either aloe/glycerin or Aphogee Keratin and I mainly seal with evoo or castor oil. I don't have many products, because my hair seems to like whatever I put in it :lol:

If you dont want your texture to change from heat then you CANNOT use it every week; It will change the texture.

You can put it in big twists nightly to stretch it out but you will have to be careful.

How often do you think I can use heat without changing the texture or without causing damage?

You should do a picture without the blow dry on freshly washed hair.

This. You can't accurately hair type or find a hair twin with blown out hair.

I love your hair! What I wouldn't do for hair that thick!

You are so pretty!!

Congratulations! Very pretty!

tiffers · Jul 30, 2014

Congrats! Lookin super cute with the fro :yep:

You'll need to tell us your hair type, density, and show a wet hair (with no product) picture in order to find your hair twin.

I transitioned for about a year and a half before I got tired of my relaxed ends and dealing with the two textures.

sonychari · Jul 30, 2014

I'll post a pic of my freshly washed hair either tomorrow or the next day. I don't really know about density and stuff.

Thank you all for the kind words!

sonychari · Aug 1, 2014

Okay. This is my freshly washed hair. What type am I? I'd guess 4c but I don't know. Thanks!

I really do not like the hair typing system by the way. I would just say 4b.

tiffers · Aug 1, 2014

^^^ My guess would be a mix of 4a/b. :yep:
