My hair still takes time but I am taking care of it better and I have so much more freedom. I can get my hair wet, don't have to worry about the humidity, and I have the option of wearing it curly or flat ironed (I know this does damage the hair). Here are some photos since I have gone natural.
They are all pretty bad photos of me, but you can see the hair. I usually do my hair, or take it out, late at night (from 12 - 4am) so they are all late night before bed images.
I have no clue why I was making that face.

I think that this is my favorite curly hair or at least my favorite amount of curl.
Twists. There is a better picture of them down below.
I am still learning how to detangle/brush my hair so it took me a long time to get the tangles out without breakage.
The twists probably took an hour maybe two, with detangling it was over 4 hours.
Here is my twist out. It was late and I was tired. It took a while. I tend to leave protective styles in for a long time. It was about one or two months, I think, some of the new growth started to dread. It made for a late night. But taking my time paid off. I was shocked at the length that I had...
Deep conditioning, a co-wash, and four hours of flat ironing later.
In the winter (currently, I might change this) I co-wash about once a month and add about a tsp of olive oil before I go to bed every night. I also use Shea Butter and other conditioners daily. It seems to be working. We have COLD, windy and snowy winters here and I do not want to risk shampooing the oils out, I also don't want build up of product. Finding the happy medium may take a while.
In the summer I wash or co-wash my hair a about once/week. I oil and condition more often. About 3 tbsps a day if I wear it curly.
I do love how long my hair has grown due to going natural.
