I decided 2 grow my relaxer out b/c I realized that my hair would straighten easily enough w/o chemicals. Initially I don’t think I really even entertained wearing my natural hair unstraightened. Then I found the wonderful online hair communities and I couldn’t wait 2 c what my natural texture looked like. The day I did my BC, I went 2 a local natural hair salon & bought some DevaCurl No-Poo, some Jane Carter Nutrient Replenishing Cond & the entire Miss Jessie’s line. Outside of the Miss Jessie’s styling aids, these products really worked for my hair. My hair was always soft – didn’t dry out.
Well, after really getting n2 LHCF, I became a self-admitted length whore. I began jumping on every bandwagon that was giving someone else growth – from MN 2 the Ayurvedic regimen 2 C&G 2 my own personal braids, wigs & weaves challenges. I was seeing so many ladies on here that were getting good results but they weren’t spending a lot of money. So I switched from what really worked for me 2 what was really working for others. And though I haven’t suffered any hair loss, Hallelujah, my hair is as dry as the desert.
So now I’m really learning about me & my hair & what I want. Do I still want length? Yes! But what I have admitted 2 myself is I don’t want it bad enough 2 bun every day. I don’t want it bad enough 2 do the C&G method for 2 years straight. After about a week of any style that includes faux hair, I simply want 2 snatch it out & b done w/it. I’ve decided that I really don’t want 2 fuss w/my hair much @ all. Of course I know I have 2 do normal maintenance such as trims, DCs, etc. But that’s just it, I don’t want 2 do much else. I truly want 2 “wash n go”!
Well, I’ve decided that I am going 2 get my natural hair cut n a “C-Cut” 2 give it some shape & I’m just going 2 let my hair b!
And what’s the point of this thread, u may ask? 3 things…
1. 2 vent
2. 2 possibly encourage members who have either jumped on bandwagon after bandwagon & r simply frustrated or 4 the newer ones who are about 2
3. 2 get encouragement from all my ladies out there who have thriving hair yet they don’t bun, don’t have complex routines, etc.

- I hate the leftover grit & plus it's 2 time consuming.
I first read that as Grits ... LOL I totally agree with this, I got all dried out by this too. I am liking the K.I.S.S. method, because when I try 50-11 things I can't remember what worked so I'd have to start over
