From Relaxers to Curls
Welcome to my natural hair journey. Here’s a quick overview of what I’ve experienced so far. I hope to try new products and styles soon and will be documenting those as well.
The first picture on the left is my hair with a year or so of growth after having permed it for about a decade. I had just washed it. It was rough, I can barely see any curls, and it has the weird triangle vibe going. The side part wasn’t helping either. Definitely damaged.
Top right picture is my hair after going to DevaCurl Salon in SoHo. I cut off most of my treated hair (I wanted to maintain some of my length). Then my stylist did an amazing job washing and styling my hair for about 2 hours, with only DevaCurl products. She even took the time to explain what my hair routine should look like every day to maintain my curls. It was GLORIOUS and worth every penny!
Bottom right picture is my hair a few days after DevaCurl, I washed it with DevaCurl One Condition, left quite a lot in, dried it with a hair diffuser, then added DevaCurl Spray Gel to shape it. This time around I had much more volume and absolutely loved it.
It’s been 2 months since my visit to DevaCurl, and my hair looks a lot healthier, and feels much more moisturized. Now that I’ve got a hang of the cute curly fro I think it’s time to play around with different styles and different products!
If you have any tips/suggestions/questions for me I’d love to hear them, otherwise stay tuned!
