Hair update: 40 to 47+ weeks post

I am now officially 47+ weeks post texlax (will be 48-weeks tomorrow). Its been a pretty painless journey for the most part. Like I have said in the past, I never really did much with my hair so this transitioning process has given me the perfect excuse to do even less :-D.
I have been rather tired in the evenings so for the most part, I have been wearing my hair in a bun.

But here are some styles I have tried in recent weeks. I think these'll likely be my "go to" styles once I finish chopping the rest of my processed ends.

Flat twists with my faux puff at the back. I love this style so much, I wore it for my sister's wedding.

Wedding hair. Side view.

Wedding hair. Front view. Yup...JOE and I were sporting matching hair styles. Except that's all her hair and I needed a faux puff :-D.

This was a simple "wrap around" twist I did a few weeks ago. I was lazy, it was easy and it worked :-D.

Then last weekend, at 47-weeks post, I am not quite sure what happened but I deep conditioned my hair, washed it and then got a pair of scissors. 

I still don't know what I was thinking!

Thankfully, my sanity returned and I stopped before I did too much damage. Well, not entirely. I have always said my hair needs to be able to fit in a puff. Well, the back and middle fit but then I noticed as I was chopping in front that it wasn't long enough. That was the reality check I needed so I STOPPED!!!

Needless to say, the back of my hair and the sides for the most part are now completely natural (chemical free) and the front still has some processed ends.

I was trying to get a good picture of my curl pattern. This is freshly washed hair with nothing added yet.

With my shea butter mix.

To celebrate my birthday dinner that evening, I decided instead of doing the regular updo, I would do something different.

So I threw on a hair band. Woohoo!!! That should tell you how lazy I am with my hair because that was my idea of "doing something to it" :-). 

At this point, I think I have just one more "chop" left. I plan on waiting until all my hair can fit in a ponytail before I do any more snipping. Hopefully, that'll be in 4-weeks when I will officially be 1-year post. If not, I'll wait it out. Then again, like last weekend I might get scissor happy on my 1-year anniversary :-D.

There you have it. My hair journey thus far. I don't have any specific hair goals so far. Just want to grow out my natural hair and see how I feel about it. There are no promises that it'll stay unprocessed. But I will try it out and see. Plus perhaps I'll get bold and color it? GASP!!!

Do you have any hair goals? If so, what are they and how are they coming along?

Have a blessed weekend and remember to be kind to strangers!
