I know I said I wouldn't be back on here until after my project but, I joined Nappturality today and I wanted to post up my starter statement for why I went natural!
So here it is:
I did my big chop in august 2011,my relaxed hair was really damaged, due to lack of knowledge on how to take care of it ,and I never wore it out. I was ashamed of it and there really wasnt much to miss. So one day after washing it in the shower,I was fed up with how straggly and damaged it looked/felt, so I took a pair of scissors and cut off all the relaxed ends, bearing in mind I hadn't put a relaxer in since march so I was subconsciously "transitioning". Its been 10 months since then (almost at my one year mark!) and I can honestly say going natural was the best thing I've ever done for myself. I've never loved my hair like this before in my 20 years of life. It's so healthy and soft. It makes me emotional to think about how much damage I was causing my hair and myself by relaxing it. Every time I would put a relaxer in my damaged hair, I knew I shouldnt have been but to be honest, I was petrified of change. I've realised so much and I finally know how to take care of my hair and I've become more confident within myself. I've even made the concious decision to loc my hair in july. Ive always loved the locced look on others even when I was relaxed but I think me going natural has heightened my love for them, I want them so badly! so in June I will be going for a consultation at Locstafari and will be officially loccin my hair after.I'm so excited. If anyone wants to follow me on my loc journey, add me (:
I have so much work to do, should have my head down right now. But
omg Just wanted to let you know that there's less than 1 month until I go for for Loc consultation at locstafari. yaaaay (: super excited and I know ive said this a million times already, but I CANNOT WAIT to start my journey. I just know i'm going to love it.
