Big Chop?

Okay so I know the title of this blog is called London's afro however; I am currently Afro-less!

It doesn't feel completely correct to call this a big chop since my hair was always natural but what the hey. I have made no complaints since the day I cut my hair, 4 months ago. I love it! Life is easy breezy beautiful (cover girl). From the above photos you can see in a short time I've encountered a few stages.

When I first my hair I had no idea what I was doing, I wasn't going for any particular style, I just wanted my hair GONE! When I came home I found it amusing that I still had the parting in my hair from when it was longer.
 The next time now (or maybe the third) I decided to get a bit of style! Look at that line, so clean! I need to go back to my Jamaican barber. That cut was before I went on holiday and then I let my hair grow out for two months. I have to say that looking back on this photo, it was a nice hairstyle, I remember getting a lot of compliments.
But then the cutting itch came back and I had another cut which I wasn't so much in love with (got to start explaining myself more to the men with the shears!)

Currently, I am not at any of these stages, I still need to experiment with colour and I'm debating about growing it back to the curly stage. The great thing about short hair is that you actually see it grow which is something I've never experienced but find fascinating. I'll be back to let you know what else I do.

Extensions and Blazers

So, i've had my hair in twists for a while now because I am fed up with combing it. Yeah, I said it lol combing this afro of mine isn't always a walk in the park.

But with the twists, I just wake up put my hair back in one and rollll...

I am very used to doing my own hair, i've been doing my own extensions since about 12/13 years old woohoo
I usually do plaits but it's so time consuming! But i've discovered or rather, reminded myself of the wonderful world of twists!

I've challenged myself to keep twisting my hair for a few months, or maybe a bit longer as it probably been a few months already.

Yep, i'm going to do those wonderful kinky twist extensions
No, not the big twists
No, not the small twists using expressions
Those afro-looking twists using kinky hair

          btw I just love, love, love blazers! They make everything look so much better!

Hello Everyone, 

How are you all? Good? I'm good too, thanks for asking :) haha
I haven't posted on here for agessss, it seems like we're all saying that lool, but we've all been very busy.

It's 2014, can't believe it.  Everyone's saying "New year, new me" and making new year resolutions, but I haven't made any.  I don't want to be one of those people who say something, and then don't follow through, so I won't aha. 2013 was a longggg year, but I'm glad I made it to the other side in one peace.  Hope you all had a good Christmas and new year, I did :)

Anyways, back to the hair stuffs..

In June I Dyed my hair!!! (and the hairdressers cut it too, boo- that rhymes) - well I put highlights in it, but yeah, here's a pic:

My 'new hair'

It was a big step for me, and I'm so glad I did it.  It's currently growing out, not sure if I'm going to do it again for now though, we'll see :)

Here are a couple a pictures, so you can see my hair...and because I like these pictures ;) ha.
