So if you’ve been following my blog for a little while you all know that my hair is a pretty decent length and a few months ago I decided to stop relaxing my hair and to minimize if not completely eliminate heat styling. It has been six months now since I’ve been transitioning and I have been able to manage the two different textures up until now. It would probably be much easier for me now if I did the big chop, but I’m not quite ready and my husband would prefer that I didn’t do it right now either. He remembers five years ago when I did the big chop and I was so miserable, so I don’t blame him. My sister texted me a picture a few weeks ago about a new wig she had just purchased. So I decided to try a wig myself. I went to a a local beauty supply store here on post and spent about an hour looking at the different options. I wanted something different, natural and realistic looking but also a bit bold and versatile. I texted my sister a picture of this tightly curled wig that I liked.
She said it looked like Michael Jackson…lol So I took that as a big heck no, do not buy this wig. I then texted her a picture of a wig with a looser curl pattern.
This one she said was really cute, and liked it a lot. So I decided to go with the second option and I am really happy with my choice.
I have received a ton of compliments.
This hairstyle (wig) is helping me as I transition away from relaxers and allow my hair to grow healthy and strong without the use of chemicals or heat. I just use flexi-rods in the front section of my hair to get the same curl pattern as the wig and blend help it blend in better.
I have to admit it is a lot of hair, but I think with me being tall, I am able to pull it off, without it seeming so overwhelming. I am loving big and curly hair right now, it just seems perfect for spring and summer.

I love it Tanasha! I am transitioning with braids. I visited my salon and found out that I haven’t had a relaxer in over a year. You are truly an inspiration.

Hello! Thank you so much and welcome. Yes its a wig..lol I’m stopping with relaxers and letting it grow out before I do the big chop. I didn’t want to put heat on it because I want my natural hair healthy and I found this awesome wig that I blend my real hair in with while its growing out. Thank you so much.
