Hello all!! Today is my first blog, and officially my month anniversary of being completely natural! I'm so happy with my hair, I have been so inspired by so many women, and I thank them everyday for all of their help and support in my decisions about my hair.
Let's start at the beginning. My first relaxer was when I was 10. I had thick, beautiful hair before I got a relaxer. But I wanted one because my sister had one, and I thought her hair was more beautiful than mine. So I went for 8 years getting relaxers, and everytime I got one, it seemed like the product had to stay in longer and longer to get my hair straight! But I LOVED my straight hair! I thought I was so cute!!!!!
I mean, I was (LOL) but It wasn't my NATURAL beauty. So, my freshman year in college (2008), I decided that I didn't want to get my hair relaxed anymore. Late November 2008 was my last relaxer (can't remember the exact date). I just straightened my hair every 2 weeks or so, but mostly kept it in a ponytail. In March 2009, I got micros, and kept them in until mid June.
I had about 2 inches of new growth, and I was debating whether I should cut my hair immediately after taking the braids out, or wait. I decided to wait the majority of the summer, and then on August 15, 2009, I cut my hair. I was sick of dealing with the two textures, and I was just ready to embrace my natural side, so I sat in my bathroom for an hour, and I just cut my hair off!!
I LOVE IT! I think it is so cute, and it was soooo easy to manage! I use shea butter, coconut oil, and olive oil in my hair. It's so simple! I think I'm in love.....
