So here is the why, when and with what results of why I became natural

WHY

I went natural because after relaxing my hair for so long, it had become limp, dull and unhealthy though it looked fine to others. I remember it was the conversation with my hairdresser at the time that changed everything. I could never have gone natural before that because it was just something that looked good on others but I never applied it to myself. Of course the reasons not to go natural were the usual:

• It’s too tough
• It’s hard to maintain
• It won’t look nice on me
• etc!

These were all quickly dispelled when my hairdresser educated me on the fact that it’s about how you manage your hair that gives you certain results. From that day I relaxed no more! AND I never will again

WHEN

At the time I had no idea what a BC or even what transitioning was for that matter! I just thought to myself “okay so I’ll put my hair in extensions until all the relaxed bits grow off.  I had my last perm in September 2009. By March 2010 I had already put my hair in extensions, weave and a lace wig too. I found that it was tedious and increasingly irritating to manage both the relaxed and natural hair so I did the unthinkable….I CHOPPED IT ALL OFF! Well I got my friend to do it. I always laugh when I remember because she was so reluctant and I would’ve too if I was her because in my relaxed days every cm of hair counted! But it was such a relief for me when all the hair was cut off. I kept my hair in a lace wig until May 2010.

WITH WHAT RESULTS

Well since then, my hair’s been growing and I’ve just been getting the hang of maintaining it etc. A section of this blog will update you on my hair journey as I go along. Hope you enjoy and feel free to comment or leave questions or contact me!!
