Ten months "AuNaptural"

Well it has been about a year and 4 months since I last put a relaxer in my hair and it has been 10 months since my "Big Chop". I must say it has been a journey dealing with this hair but I wouldn't change a thing. As I always say, it was the best decision I ever made pertaining to my hair. 

This morning I did a quick twist out which resulted in a lot of shrinkage. Shrinkage is definitely an enemy of mine...I truly hate it but...what can I do! ***shrug***

When I hit my 1 year mark I'll do a blowout so that you can see how much my hair has grown. But for now here's a few photos from today!

Hair Type:

New Hair Color

I dyed my hair this morning because I was tired of the jet black color and I'm used to a lighter color anyway..my normal sandy brown hair but um...the color I chose turned my hair into a brownish,reddish,orangish color...lol... The roots..of course..are lighter because it took my original hair color and changed it and then the back and closer to the tips are a bit darker...so I now how a two toned hair color...I tried taking a number of photos to show you the color but I could only get this photo which kind of shows you my roots color..its definitely lighter than this. I was going to try outside but unfortunately we are having a gloomy day here in Fort Lauderdale and its been raining all day sooooooo I will eventually be able to get a photo that shows the result that it came out to be. I actually kind of like it. Im sure it will grow on me. But yeah...you totally can't see the color in the photos..LOL
