I so love my short haircut and I’m SO amazed at how straight she got my hair. I just love the press and coconut oil combination. Especially since I know how good coconut oil is for hair.
Now that I have this great cut and a great stylist so conveniently located across from work, I might have to go back on my commitment to grow my hair out….okay, maybe not. I do want to see long hair again, but I definitely will be working this short do until it grows out.
So today I’m going out to get some hair wax. I will be spiking and styling it up! Here are a few ideas:
I like this look for it’s sleek sides and styled poof on top.
Curls are definitely a good look with a short cut.
I love how the short sides are worked just a little and incorporated into a look with a little wave over big curls or simply straight and spiked.
I’m glad I ran across a shot providing an idea on styling the back of my head. I have hair back there that can be more than slicked down or curled.

I am reinspired in my journey to go natural. My new beautician worked my hair so well, I am relaxer straight. She used a hot comb and coconut oil to straighten my hair. I’m not a hot comb fan, but she didn’t use a lot of heat.
Best of all, with my latest trim, I’m 99.9% relaxer free! I still have a few strands in the front, but I didn’t want to lose the length. My cut is pretty cute and looks something like a bob, with a flip this go around in the back. It just covers my ears in the front. My usual cut is a bob with more length in the front, but at least now with this cut, I can just focus on growing my hair. If the press I got tonight lasts, I might stop doing my hair for awhile and just let the beautician do it and focus on keeping heat off of my hair more than once every two weeks.
I love the cut. I am going to definitely work out some edge looks when I finally get my hands on some Tigi Bedhead Wax. Which I see is on sale, so I’ll be placing my order today. I am strongly leaning towards visiting the salon every two weeks instead of doing it myself through Christmas. It looks so good I don’t want to mess it up!
With this wash, I had a really cute , nice sized afro (when blowdried out). I am now very curious about how I might style it as a natural. I’ve finally reached that point! I am definitely amazed at how delicate my hair is. It’s such a frail little fro! I’m amazed it was able to handle a relaxer all these years. I definitely see a lot of interesting possibilities. With some length, I’ll have lots of style options (even now I do). I can see wearing my hair pulled back with no major heat – just blowdrying and product; maybe some nice curls with product; and even more options with set curls. Exciting!
During my hair visit, my beautician used an interesting technique. She blowdried my hair on a warm heat with a comb attachment. She then had me sit under the hood dry to dry my scalp. I was surprised to find no coils or spiral curls forming like when I blowdry my hair with no attachment. She then pressed my hair, cut it and styled it.
I’m so amazed that I did it. Six months in and I’m natural! Just imagine, in six more months (fulfilling my goal of giving this journey 1 year – I will have a lot of good length and my finally be able to style my hair in a way that I find comfortable for wearing it full out natural). Yay!
