In Vegas for the weekend

ok so I am in vegas this weekend visiting with my goddaughter and usually when I go on trips I go to the hair dresser but I didn't get a chance to before I came here. I certainly tried but it didn't work out with me and my hd so anyway I had a braid out that I was wearing so I just decided to rock it for a few more days. It looks a little wild but I like it. Here is a pic of me and my gd just acting silly....

This is a pic of me when I was about 2 I love this pic!!! My only worry in the world was concentrating on walking or where is my mommy what I wouldn't do to be 2 again....youth is wasted on the young....hahaha

Ok I started on this blogger thing last week and I have not written much. I actually wanted to document some of my natural hair journey on here as well as other things that I want to write about. Where should I start:

About 5 years ago I decided to stop putting perms in my hair and it started out as just an attempt to see if it would make my hair healthier. With a perm my hair was bone straight and always weak and wimpy. Natural my hair is full and thick and extremely curly. Over the years I have definitely been through different stages with my hair.

When I first chopped it all off I had no idea it would be as short as it was. I was trying to transition but thought that after a year I had enough hair. I was tired of the two textures so my hairdresser twisted it and cut off the stringly ends. When I looked in the mirror I was shell shocked I screamed. Then I cried then I immediately went to get micros in my hair. I just couldn't handle it. After a few months I got them out and was a little more comfortable with my hair and wore it in twists mostly. I wore off and on braids for a while and then when it got long enough i wore a pony puff!!

A pony puff was my permanent hairstyle but I started to find that it wasn't good for my hair to wear it pulled back so much. So I discovered straw sets and two strand twists with my hairdresser so I alternated between them for a while. I also wore my hair straight every 6 months when I would get it straighted so that I could get it trimmed.

Here lately I have been trying to do my hair myself and I have been trying different products and doing braid outs and twist outs. And last month I did a rod set all by myself. I am very proud of my hair and I am looking forward to getting to know it better and caring for it better for the rest of my life. Stay tuned for pics and stuff about my hair journey.....

This picture was taken when I tried to do something by myself with my hair. I braided it and then let it dry and then I took out the braids. I used this stuff called BBD curl creme. This was also my birthday

First Day Blogging

Ok I only started this blog because my friend Nikki sent me her sisterlock blog and I wanted to post a comment and it made me sign up. But then as I was creating the account I figured why not blog on here myself.
