Yes it is, I’ve done it and so can you. Yes, that’s right my hair is a mixture of 4b and 4c my heritage is in West Africa, Ghana, Togo, Benin, Nigeria and my hair is natural, soft and BSL (My hair reaches my bra-strap). Don’t worry if you don’t know all the terminology, it is all explained in detail in the book J. If you are like me, you want very long hair since you were a child. I had my hair relaxed from the age of 12 and although when I was a child my hair was quite long, after the relaxer my hair hardly grew past SL (Shoulder Length). That was until I discover the black hair community in 2007. I was so excited by all the things I was reading, the techniques, the testimonials, the recipes and more, I started dreaming again the dream I had when I was a little girl and I pretended the towel on my head was my hair. So one day, I decided to start following all the sound advice I had now collected for over 6 months. I started in July 2007 and by July 2008 my hair reached just below APL. Having reached this goal and celebrated in style, I started having other ideas as I kept reading all that was available online at the time. I decided to go all natural, It was a hard decision as I didn’t know how to go about it, should I cut all my hair off? Well, no way! I’ve always had long hair all my life and was not prepared to change that, I couldn’t imagine going to work bald!!! My last relaxer was in November 2008 and I’ve never looked back, I used a lot of growth help some with more success than others and a lot of techniques and I made it. We are now in 2014 and my kinks are BSL, beautiful, soft and shiny. I have 6 years of experience dealing with my own hair and helping others with theirs, I’ve been blogging on various subjects ranging from ‘How to look after mixed race children’s hair’ to ‘Is it Better to Transition or Big Chop?’.
