The creamy crack has been SCREAMING my name, especially since I put it in stone that I was going natural. Plus I think the weather wants to sabotage me too. Here it is, the middle of October and it’s probably rained everyday…the new growth is swelling, and swelling, and swelling…I’m scared :).

So I’ve been researching like a mad woman - conditioners, shea butters, no poos, leave ins, curly, kinky, transitioning, big chop, shingling, twist-outs - all words part of my new found vocabulary. Now, I’ve become extremely enthusiastic about the process and my husband has given me all his support. But, when I told some of my family members about my decision, I was instantly met with stares and perplexed faces. “WHHHYYYY?!?!?! You’re hair is so beautiful!!! Look how long it is!!!” is what I’ve been hearing. Straight hair = beauty. Natural hair, hmmm what does natural hair equal?

Nonetheless, I’m doing it. I recently ordered the Value Pack from Miss Jessie’s. Since I’m a newbie to transitioning, this was good for me because it gives a little sample of everything so I can try them out and see what works for me. It’s sad to say, but I don’t really know what my hair type really is because I haven’t ever really seen it. So I got a little bit of trial and error to do. I think I’m gonna try the wet twist-out first. I’ll make sure to let you know how it goes!
