I took pictures of my hair today because I actually rather like how it looks, and I was gonna post them, but then I browsed my dashboard for two minutes and thought “nah that’s okay.”

My how time flies! I big chopped One year ago September 3rd, and I appear to have no noticable growth look how for I have come! Length I was trying to fake with fully stretched hair is present with partially shrunken hair! (My shrunken hair still looks like day 1 haha)
Getting real tired
My mom just looked at me and said "I think this whole natural hair thing is so people can use it as an excuse not to take care of their hair." Excuse you, mom. I'd venture that natural hair people take way more time taking care of their hair than you do taking care of your relaxed dyed hair. And last week she told me that it was just a fad and in a couple years you wouldn't see anyone wearing their hair naturally -_- I swear every other day she's complainjng about something or another about my hair. Gosh I wish I was on campus.
Feeling anxious
I’m getting really tired of my co workers and classmates telling me how nice I look with these braids in (I dunno what they’re called when you braid it part way and leave the rest).
But seriously, every other day I get told that I “look nice with long hair”. What, so my actual hair doesn’t look as nice as this knotty tangly mess of plastic? I’ve had these in for a while and I’m really starting to miss my hair, but I know the second I take them out it’s gonna be “I liked your hair more before”, and that is not making me feel very confident at all :(
I wonder if I should look up finger combing...
My hair is like either awkward or twakward. It's maybe closing on 4.5 inches in front (5 if I'm being generous) and 6 inches and something in the back. One source says I'm awkward and another says I'm not. I'm not beefing. It's too short to just wash it and have it shrink up (reasonably) to my head, and not long enough to feasibly twist each day. I can get away with 4 flat twists, maybe 3, but I dont think I could do two unless I used really really small stitches and a zig zag pattern.
ANYWHO my point is: my hair may not be long enough to really style, but it sure as heck is long enough to make knots! I also know that whenever I put anything in my hair with the intention to detangle, I come away with hair.
I keep telling myself it's natural for hair to shed, but I mean sectioning it to carwash = hair. Sectioning it to twist = hair. Touching it with anything = hair. I just feel im doing something wrong (Or maybe I didn't detangle it enough).
SO. Long story short. My hair isn't very long. Do I look up finger combing or just keep trying my luck with combs for now?
My sister got her relaxed ends chopped off because she wanted to start over and have even hair all around, because when her hair was relaxed, there was this bit that just stuck out. I suggested he cut it all and relax it, and I think that’s what she’s doing! Meanwhile, we’ll take gross pictures with both of us as naturals for the internet to see.
Maybe we can convince her to stay natural because I think she looks really good like this ;D
Oh my gosh
Watching videos of people who have been natural for a few years and they're showing off their afros and blow outs make me so excited.
I cannot wait until I have HUGE hair.
