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.....
