Do or Die

I made a promise to myself that before 2010 was over I was going to do something drastic. I gave myself two options:
1) get a Halle Berry Pixie cut
or
2) go natural
You can guess my choice since I'm here.

I have been relaxing my hair for a little over six years now and I'm BORED. When I was 13 and 14 getting doobies (wash, set & wrap for the non-Jersey folks) excited me, but no more. Straight just isn't doing it for me anymore.

I now realize that there is a whole world of natural hairstyles that I am missing out on. {Oh how I wish I'd known back then}

Doing this blog is important for me because it is a reminder of the commitment I've made to this. The only reason I didn't do it earlier is out of fear. I'm hoping to find some support from people who are going through or have been through the process so I don't chicken out.

My last relaxer was in November 2009 and my goal is to transition until November 2010 and cut off the relaxed ends for my 20th birthday {symbolic: leave my relaxed ends w/my teenage yrs....how deep lol}

I'm currently rocking braids (I got them before I made the decision because I'm studying abroad in London for 5 months and I wanted to give my hair a break). They're due to come out in March, I'd love advice from anyone on what I should do @ that point.

Follow me on my hair journey!

  • I 'm a 19 year old college student from NJ. After years of secretely thinking about it, I finally made the decision to go natural! My blogs will be about my transition and the challenges I'm sure to face along the way.
