Shaved my head completely in Feb 2026 (first time ever growing my hair out
was in a strict org since 8th grade that never let me). Wanted to see what
my natural texture actually looks like since I had curls as a kid.
Timeline in pics: Feb 12 (bald) April 2025 (~2 months growth, ignore the
year mixup lol) now, 3rd July 2026.
No trims since Feb, just been letting it do its thing with a basic routine
(oil + conditioner). Getting some wave/bend near the roots but falls
straight-ish once it's got weight not sure if that's 2A/2B wavy or if
curls will show up more with length.
Open for suggestions whether I should keep growing or shape it up, and any tips
for the awkward in-between stage. Appreciate any advice 🙏
