First off let me say, I have always been a dreamer, I see blogs all the time, and I wandered why do people put all their thoughts out there, and why do others care what you think? Well I secretly envied the bloggers of the world and now here I am making a commitment to myself to do everything I always wanted to do no matter how small it is, so I'm blogging.
I got off the creamy crack (perm) in 2007 after deciding I wanted to be a better me. I was inspired by a numerous amount of You-tube videos and natural hair celebrities before I went on this interesting hair journey. First off let me say, I never chopped off all my hair in order to transition, my process was simple. I braided my hair (mostly micros) and I kept those in for almost 2 years out of my entire 4 year journey. I found braids to be easy and cute, but when I took them out, the natural kinks and curls of my hair was my favorite. I love the curls and kinky texture that can only be found on the crown of a black woman. I tried a lot of brands to enhance my curls, especially liked Kinky Curly Curling Custard, and Miss Jessie Curly Pudding. Some worked, others not so much, but the bottom line is this, my hair never grew so long, so thick, and so strong until I decided to get off the perm. I have family and friends that have since gone natural with me and they were all beautiful before, but now that beauty is more effortless than ever before. We black girls have a gift that no other race or culture can claim. Our Hair can be transformed into anything we like, and we change it all the time, but this I know. Keep your natural hair oiled and healthy and wear the weaves over it, when society needs to see the changes.
