Analyzing new growth after 4 months

Enjoying my hair texture thoroughly. It's so different than relaxed ends. And I have  had a decent time embracing my new growth. It's thicker and sticks out more so my transitioning hairstyles are actually fuller looking than when my hair was fully relaxed. Because i texlaxed for the past 2 or so years, I am not seeing a drastic difference in the hair. However, natural hair is less uniformed. Less about how perfectly everything falls. It's more about the beautiful texture and the thickness. 


At my crown I find a mix of kinky a curls and little coils. It is very 'spongy' at the crown. That is where I have the most shrinkage too. 


At the nape of my head is where I find a more relaxed curl pattern with a silkier texture. 

As I progress, I may draw out a map of my head so Ican fully analyze. As I believe I may naturally be dealing with 3-4 different textures. 


The front is more 's' curl. It is similar to my crown, but it is less spongy. It kind of lays down flat. 

I imagine most curly hair girls experience a range of uniformed curls to various textures and this is due to the mix in genetics. So just like a fingerprint, no curly hair head is equally the same. This is why there are products that work for others and not. This is why there are some styles that compliment some, while others rely on a different style. 

Embracing my curly hair is like the epitome of embracing my uniqueness.
