Natural Hair Journey (9 Months later)

4/19/2010

Today I decided to share my Natural Hair Journey with you from the start of my BC(big chop) to Nine months later.. I cant believe its been almost 1yr. that I cut all my hair off and went Natural.. Its been nothing but a wonderful experience, believe me Ive had my share of ups and downs when it came to finding what my hair likes and doesen't like, but its been fun also. As most Natural hair girls in the Black community we had been so brainwashed to believe that our own curly coily kinky hair was ugly, and straight hair was the way to go. But Im proud of my God given hair, the hair that grows out from my roots that's considered as a 4b or O in the hair typing world.





I just wanted to share some photos with you so you and I can see the difference, The first photo is the 5th week after I BC'd, the 2nd photo is 5mths after I Bc'd, and the 3rd is the most recent photo 9mths since I did the Big Chop. Thanks for going through this journey with me. If you follow me on NaturallyCurly.com you know how to get in touch with me and how to check out my videos on this fabulous journey. Have a Blessed week :-)

Spring Is Finally Here!!! - Law, Makeup, Natural Hair Care

4/14/2010

Hello I finally got the time to come and post on my blog... I really miss posting on this blog because this is where I come and just let you all know how Im doing and what's going on with me. Its been 2 months since I posted a blog and so much has happedn I dont know where to start. First of all Id like to say thanks to everyone who comes by and reads my blog. Im still going to school and Im really enjoying myself and learning so much about the legal system I never thought it would be so much fun learning about the law.

Im still focusing on my hair in its natural state(no relaxer), and Im also having fun understanding my hair its likes and dislikes. I love being a part of different hair boards that focus on caring for naturally curly hair. Years ago I would have threw my bhands up and went back to applyinhg a relaxer in my hair. Some would say that Im turning into a PJ (product junkie), but Im just trying out things to see what my hair likes and doesnt like. I have found out that my hair likes spritzs, mists, growth sprays, they keep my hair moist without my hair feeling oily or greasy.




Spring is here and its been 9months since I BC (big chop), being on my natural hair journey has introduced me to a new family the Natural hair community, and I love it. We are not concerned about what others think or say about us and there is strengh in this community. If you are thinking about leaving the creamy crack (relaxer) alone and want to wear your hair they way God gave it to you then visit a hair board they are all over the internet just google "Natural Hair" and you will be on the road to learning the does and donts about "Natural Hair". I dont want to turn this into a book so I will end this right here. I just had to let you all know that Im still areound and things are going great. Dont be afraid to leave me a comment are follow my blog. Everyone have a great week, and I hope to leave another post before the summer starts. Ive startd diving into the makeup world also. I know its crazy to some a parlegal,who loves the law, makeup, and hair care. I think its a great combo. You all stay Bless!!! Thanks again for following my blog... I will see you ASAP.
