Decisions, Decisions....



Even after the shape up, there were still some relaxed ends, which was expected.

Catching you up... 2006 Pics Pre and Post Big Chop

Well, as I stated on my site, I decided to go natural for a few reasons.

As much as I took care of my relaxed hair, it would grow to a certain point, and then start breaking off. I would only relax my hair 4 times a hair, which averaged to every 12 weeks. Well, that wasn't enough.

I decided enough was enough. I transitioned from November 2005 to May 2006. I kept microbraids in my hair most of that time to give my hair a break. I decided May 1 was going to be the BC date. I did it and now I am happy with my decision.

Follow me on my journey....

Welcome!

Welcome to my hair blog!


Until I revamp my site, ~An Onine Journal for Natural Hair Care~ I've decided to post here as far as my hair journey.

Why am I doing this?

Well, hopefully this blog will inspire others who are contemplating going natural or have gone natural and need some encouragement, to stay natural.

All to often we are conditioned to think that nappy hair = bad hair. This is not true. The only bad hair is damaged hair; hair that has been ruined by that caustic chemical we call a relaxer. It may make our hair look straight, but we do more harm than good, by using it.

So out with the bad chemicals and in with beautiful, natural hair!
